—the Boys,
It may appear as rather a premature
announcement to say that the fishing sea¬
son is at hand but it is a fact - nevertheless.
Our reason for saying so is that we hav
seen the fish—a whole string of them.
They were in the possession of a-couple of
Knoxville young ladies who w r ere seen a
few evenings ago wending their wav,home¬
ward in a very leisurely, and self-satisfied
manner, and the cause of this satisfaction
became apparent as soon as one came in
full view, of eight fine perch they were
carrying. They ranged from about one
fourth of an inch to perhaps two inches in
length-, and though some of- them were
rather-diminutive they counted as fast as
any other fish. Judging from their suq
C0SS it -is not to be wondered at that -■ the
young ladies are anxious to try their luck
again before the moon changes.

something unusual. He passed by tbe
court house and on down the hill toward

smith shop he turned out of tbe road and
entered tbs shop, making straight for Daw¬
son, who was pounding iron As soon as
the- dog got within arms length of Dawson
lie hit the dog a heavy blow. The lick
knocked the dog down, but he- made no
noise, but passed outiandlon in the direc¬
tion of the railroad crossing. Mr. J. K.
Blasiugarae secured a gun and mounted a
horse soon after the dog left the shop, and
overtook, it at Mr. Jim Mathews’ house.
A shot from the gnu brought the dog
down, but he arose and turned upon Mr.
BlusingamSvWho shot him several times.
more. The dog Wag, struck with the
hammer, shot three or four times,.and final¬

Jti:,i after, the terrible tornado visited.
Georgia several years ago a great many
people had pits dug as pjaeea-of refuge in,
times of storms. A great many individu¬

this place, has-shown more precaution
than auy one w.e know of.,. He sleeps iu

comfgrtablo place in cold weather.
