ALL GAME PROTECTED.
By State Lav. After March 15
Snipe No Exception.
<From The Albany Herald.)
We are reminded, by hearing
several sportsmen remark that
they intend getting a good deal
of sport on the snipe marshes
a$ter March 13, that there is
widespread misapprehension ow.
this point. It is the understand
ing of a great many persons that
Hlee snipe, bewig a migratory
bird, is not considered in the
state game laws, hut may be
bunted and shot as long as neve
nnains in these parts.
But the snipe is protected
•along with the quail, doves, deer
•and turkeys. He migrates, it is
true, spending his summers in
the Northern states of the Union
and in Canada and his winters in
Mexico and portions of the
Southern States, but the Georgia
lawmakers have in their wisdom
decreed that after the 15th of
March lie is not to be molested.
We throw out this reminder to
such as may be laboring under
an erroneous impression and who
would not cere to get mixed up
with the game warden.
The bird season closes two
weeks frocs next Wednesday.
The loth of March is the last day
on which quail, doves and snipe
may be killed. After that date
larks, robins, sparrows, kildees
and hawks only may be shot.

Thomasville Will Have a Weath¬
er Bureau.
Thomasville, Feb. 24.—Thom¬
asville is to have a United States
weather station. This informa¬
tion has just been definitely re¬
ceived from Congressman Griggs,
who has fostered the measure for
a long term of months. The ap¬
propriation will not be available
until July, but very soon there¬
after the station will be establish¬
ed. The appropriation carries
with it the provision for a suita¬
ble building. The station will be
in charge of government officials.
There are only seventy-three
government weather stations in
the United States and until
Thomasville was favored, the
state of Georgia had only four of
these seventy-three. They are
in Atlanta, Savannah, Macon and
Augusta. There is no station on
the gulf coast from Mobile to
Tampa, and the Thomasville de¬
pot will be of great importance in
enabling reliable forecasts to be
made of thedisastrousgulf storms.
The people of, Thomasville have
worked long and hard for a
branch of the weather bureau
and Congressman Griggs, as the
worker of the movement i3 in high
favor here.

Incredible Brutality.
It would have been incredible
brutality if Chas. F. Lemberger,
of Syracuse, N. Y., had not dond
the best he could for hi- .guff wing
son. “My boy,” he says, “cut a
fearful gash over his eye, sol ap¬
plied Bucklen’s Arnica Salve,
which quickly healed it and saved
his eye. Good for burns and ul¬
cers too. Only 25c at Lewis Drug
