SLEEPY 7/OLLOJF. Just a few miles from our quiet lit tie Village. Jlr. Mickeal Stoner lias one of the finest Carp Ponds in (Georgia The Pond covers an are of 3 acres ,in a basin formed by natures own hand work. The uatural situation ef the Pond causing thus very little expense (comparatively speekiug) in its comple tion. The dam being the greater ex pence. It is built of very -sub stantial wood and ro(k and is one of most complete, I over saw. Except one or two others in the lower part of this State. Air Stoner built it some three years age, and it was thought by a great many, that he would not make a success of carp raising as it was thoulit that carp would not do well in this ef the state. It is now however proven beyond a doubt, that north Georgia is the place for carpe raising. A few months after completion of this great pond; Mr Stoner purchased 350 young carps no* more than three or four niches in length, aud placed them in his pond. One day last week, a very fine spec ,linen was taken from it, it weigh tad seven pounds by actual weight,2 feet o inches inlcngth* The fish has aver aged about one foot a year, a growing in length. I would like to suggest a word to any of the readers ot the News if thy contemplate going in the carp raising business: That a great deal depends on the on the situation of the pond, and the kind of carp it is stocked with. There are three kinds, of carp, that I knoM, of these are the “Scale” “minnor” aud the Leather, of the three mentioned die Scale is the finest, and is a splendid table fish, prououncedby some superior to the shad. These fish arc very tiasilytabeu from the pond, as they bite at a bated hook with all the impetuosity of a Trout or jack fish. Mr Stoner has been taking fish from his pond for the last year and says it has saved him considerable money as he has agoodmaney hands emjdoyed on his place and has lurmsu e l them fish, instead of bacon, the fish ueing very healthy food and so much cheaper, than bacon as there is no. much expence connected with the ous - ssar *• r *‘ It is a good ideate have as many tree.* growing in the pond as possible as they are »ho means o furnishing nearly or all the food for the fish iu the way of bugs insect* etc that fall from them into the water. It is quite Interesting to stand on the banks ef the pond those •lelightful suu shiny days, and watch them as they chase each oth*ir too and lro and iu theirestacies some times leap so high that their whole /cugths can »c seen plainly above the water, ftr. Stoner » thinking cf building another jmnd shortly, and keeping the old one forthc pleasure and benefit of his friends. If he does I will try to get word to some of my friends and we will make up a fishing party and try our luck augleing for the scaled beauties, 1 can’t imagine no better or a more pleas ent way of having a day recreation than to fix up o nice dinner and get an early start and spend the day a fishing aud lounging in the shade of the of the beautifnf grove adjoining, Truly yours, Joseph Mull Mca Ga.
