CITY RESERVOIR TROUT
CONTINUE TO OUTWIT
CRAFTIEST OF ANGLERS
i
Out at the waterworks reservoir there 1
swint in blissful peace and contentment
hundreds of the most sapient trout that
ever finned a flipper. They’re the trout
—or children of ’em -that the reservoir
was stocked with several years ago by
the well known city government under
a law- which th*»t no one could
go out and angle for them, under heavy
penalty, unless he were an intimate '
friend of a J’ow er-Thnt- Be and did the
fishing surreptitiously.
Quite a number of Kid Waltons here- 1
abouts used to go out there when no
body would be lookjng and hurl a fly <
at the capering fishes and they’d dis- t
cuss political methods and ways and
means and schemes while they fished, *
It is one theory that the trout over- i
heard this wisdom and applied it with
such fine success that they learned to
dodge even the most tempting bait
At any rate. It Is the fact that not in
years has one of those fish been caught,
though many a brilliant fisherman has
angled for them. They are actually said
to swim around flies smiling mockingly
and flipping their tails In bantering
gestures at the discomfited anglers on
the bank.

The wedding was yesterday after

preparing to go to the office when a
reporter called,
"No; lie hasn't lost a stenographer.”
said Mrs. Clute. “I'll stick to my ma

GOVERNOR RAGE
ENTRIES CLOSED
Despite various interesting "rumors”
going the rounds, opinion is rapidly
crystallizing among statesmen near'and
far in Georgia that there are to be no
further entries into the gubernatorial
contest—that the battle is to be fought
out between John M. Slaton, of Fulton,
and Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb.
Talk of Murphey Candler and Thom
as S. Felder as candidates practically
has ceased entirely. Both are known
to have been seriously considered for a
time by various political leaders here
and there, and undoubtedly pressure
was brought to bear on both, from on®
quarter and another, to run.
It is generally accepted as a fact to
day, however, that neither Mr. Candler
nor Mr. Felder will get into the fight
this time.
Thomas W. Hardwick, of the Tenth
congressional district, recently was
considered a more than likely entry.
But Mr. Hardwick has not intimated to
anybody publicly that he intends run
ning, and specific inquiry directed to
him fails to get a reply that indicates
his intention, or even remote purpose,
to run.
A day or so ago there was a revival
of the L. G. Hardman boom, and it
was given out. with some show of au
thority, that the doctor would throw his
hat into the ring. But as time runs on
the doctor's hat doesn’t appear inside
the magic circle; and recent direct in
quiry to him has elicited no reply that
necessarily means anything.
In the meantime, both Slaton and
Hall are as busy as can be getting
their campaigns shaped up and well
under way. Mr. Hall is making speeches
daily, and is being greeted with genuine
enthusiasm in various quarters. Mr.
Slaton ie constantly in close touch with
his friends and feels sure that he has
fallen heir to a decided preponderance
of the late Hudson strength.
Apparently, the state is rapidly dlvi<f,
ing between these two—and if there
are to be other entries, observers of
events and things generally are begin
ning to wonder why they hang fire so
persistently.
