Tfeomas ton. Ga. Tlie Uti ls Alirmt al'lli- J'eason —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. ?. H. WEIGHT, -.^geobgia.
