Grady County Progress
Slaughter Deer and Wild Turkey
It develops that reports of the
recent violations of the same
law in this and Grady county are
not without foundation, as sev
eral depredations have been re
ported of late.by parties having
preserves. Deeij have been
found dead in some of the swamps
and horns, and in some instances
pieces of butchered meat have
been discovered. Tracks have
been found leading into preserv
es, and evidences shown that the
hunters have put in their work
This is particularly the case
down near the Grady, county line
and across in that county. One
place which is well stocked with
deer had suffered from these de
predations and the owners are
making every effort to find the
lawless parties who have violated
the game law and laid themselves
open to prosecution if discovered.
Both deer and turkeys are very
plentiful here this year and it is
expected that the hunting will be
very fine and parties who have
so little respect, for the law as to
try to destroy them out of season
will undoubtedly be reported if
found.--Valdosta Times

WELL, WE GUESS YES
Statesboro, Ga., Sept. 16— It
is generally conceded that F. E.
Field of Statesboro will be the
champion cotton raiser in Bul
loch • county, if not the state of
Georgia, this season. Mr. Field
has two acres planted in a very
prolific variety, and.it i§ the opin
ion of Mr. Field and many others
that he will nake five bales on
the two acres. Mr. Field says he
counted the bolls on some of the
stalks which were over 300 forms
Mr. Field, it is said, will save
every seed from his two-acre
patch and plant his entire crop
with this variety next year, in
which event there is no telling
how much cotton he will be able
to make.
There is a large demand for
cotton seed in Statesboro, but it
is not likely any of these will be
put on the market for crushing
purposes.

practical method.

PAWNS HIS LEG
FOR A
Valdosta, Ga., Sept. 14.—Val
dosta has been infested with
maimed and ’ crippled “hoboes”
for the past three weeks. On al
most every corner they have been
asking alms. Last night two or
three of them became intoxicat
ed and the policemen arrested
them.
A one-armed hobo and a one-
legged one had a frolic on one of
the side streets and the onearmed
man wanted to whip anybody
who came along. The one-legged-
man pawned his wooden leg for
a bottle of near beer and was
having all manner of fun jump
ing on one leg.
Mr. W. E. Coleman 1 has just
returned from Milton, Fla., and
gives us an account of the de
vastation by the boll weevil in
that county.* He says that it will
take ten acres to make one bale
of cotton, and then the matterisin
doubt. Our folks had better get
ready for this little destroyer, he
is coming and trouble is coming
with him.
