A Card From Game Warden.
Oxford, Ga. 10, 1911.
The Covington News,
Covington, Ga.
Gentlemen.
I have been appointed game and
fish warden for this county, by Hon.
Jesse E. Mercer. The first gentle¬
men appointed did not accept.
As I have not been living in New¬
ton county but one year, I will ap¬
preciate very much your assistance
in helping me to getacquainted with
the people and getting the people in¬
terested in the law.
You might say that, by way of
introduction, that I moved here last
year from Snellville, Gwinnett county^
and by profession, 1 am a rural
teacher and experienced poultry,man.
Please state for me that I will be
in the office of the clerk of court
every Saturday for the purpose of is¬
suing license and that I will take
great pains and pleasure in giving
any information relative to the game
law to all inquire. State that I
want everybody interested in hunting
to come in the clerk’s office when
in town on Saturday and get acquain¬
ted with me. I also want some one
from each district to act as deputy
warden and will be glad to receive
their application for the place.
As I am under sworn oath to en¬
force the law to the “letter,” I ex¬
pect to do my duty in enforcing it
evenly and impartially.
If you will print the law in your
paper for the benefit of the people
of the county I would certainly ap¬
preciate same. 1
I am a great lover and defender of
birds. I have spent many days in
the fields, meadows, and woods stu¬
dying their habits and characteris¬
tics. I am contemplating writing a
book on Georgia birds. It is my in¬
tention to write you several articles
on bird® some time soon.
TEanking you in advance for writ¬
ing an article using the “gist’of this
letter for the subject and giving
same a good place, I am truly,

Advertises for His Lost Hat.
New York.—Although the open sea¬
son for straw hats is rapidly draw¬
ing to Its close, George C. Hubbs of
the United States Tire company, of
No. 1789 Broadway, Is anxious to re¬
cover a Panama which he lost the
other day in Van Cortlandt P«trk. He
Is trying to get some trace of it by
means of advertising for it The ini¬
tials ”G. C. H." are on the Inside of
the hat. Mr. Hubbs offers a reward
for its return.
Hungary's Maize Crop.
Budapest.—Hungary’s maize crop
for 1911, according to the estimate of
county Adalbert Serenyi, Hungarian
minister of agriculture, will be 30 per
cent below that of 1910.
Two Feet Too Many.
Newton, N. J.—Judge L. J. Martine
has for a couple of years been the
owner of a cat which has been over
supplied with feet; now he has two
such.
The newcomer is one of a litter of
kittens which the malformed cat pre¬
sented her owner. The kitten is
marked very like the mother, and’ like
her has two sets of feet terminating
her front paws. Both sets of feet are
fully developed and have pads and
nails
Spoke From Experience.
Farmer B—was sitting in the coun¬
try church. He had been working
hard in the harvest field; hands were
scarce, and Farmer B— was dozing.
The loud tones of the minister failed
to arouse the farmer, until at length,
the time waning, the good man closed
the lids of the Bible and concluded
sb follows: “Indeed, my hearers, the
harvest Is plenteous, but the laborers
are few.” “Yes,” exclaimed Farmer
B—, “I’ve offered two dollars a day
for cradelers and can’t get ’em at
that.”
Loving Friends.
Never cast aside your friends If by
any possibility you can retain them.
We are the weakest of spendthrifts
if we let one drop off through inatten¬
tion, or let one push another away,
or if we hold aloof from one through
petty Jealousy. Would you throw
away a diamond because It scratched
you? One good friend is not to be
weighed against the jewels of the
earth.
Coachman Had to Earn Bequest.
A quaint paragraph appears in the
will of Mrs. Julie Hall, of Brighton,
England. At the reading of the will
the other day- it was found that she
had bequeathed £100 to her coach¬
man, provided he is In her service at
her death, and “if I do not die
through or from tbe effects of a can
riage accident when he is the driver."
Not Always.
It is not always safe to decide that
a man has passed the age of use¬
fulness merely because his 15-year
old son can beat Mm at golf.
