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 E F WELL, WE GUESS YES Statesboro, Ga., Sept. 16— It is generally conceded that F.
