He caught one weighing Is pounds, and
his wife, nee Miss Rebecca Maycs, vino
was n great belle here before she was
carried, caught one on the 10th of Au~

4 feet inches from tip to tip. Truly
Mrs. Polk is the champion angler ~
these parts. Her father was splendid
angler, and her grandfather and un-
clCs are also good ones Frank Forest
or and other great fishermen unite in
praising the splendid sport afforded by
the Aluscalonge. Major Polk had the
