"'Possun George. 4"

For a year or more, an old regro man
living south of the city has been in the
habit of bringing into town various
kinds of wild game. The business he has
followed for u livelihood, and by perse-
verance and industry has managed 10
keep body and soul together from the
proceeds OF his sales. OF late, game,
such as birds and rabbits, has been very
scarce, and it is asserted that the
old negro determining to keepup his reg
lar supply and not let his customers suf-
fer. shot several buzzards, and carefully
dressing brought them In and disposed
of them as the largest, latest and most
toothsome OF "yaller Lego chickens,
raised by himself expressly for the
hungry denizens of the city. Yesterday
the old man was in town as usual with a
| lot of well-dressed rabbits, which he was
hawking about the streets offering to sell
at the moderate price of twenty-five
cents each. A certain colored family
purchased one, and laying it by, ready to
cook for dinner, went on with the house
hold duties. A short time after. as the
atmosphere began to warm up, the house
was mysteriously filed with the by no
means fragrant odor of a veritable skunk
Familiarity known in this section as a
polecat. An Investigation was immedi.
ately made, and the odor was traced to
the pan wherein lay the plump, we'll
dressed rabbit that was TO grace the din
ner table. 4 careful examination dis
closed the animal to be skunk and not Q
rabbit. He had been well dressed by the
old negro, who, by the way, iswell known
as Z" 'Possum George" and sold as rab'
bit. The reporter was shown the "var
mini" and it had marked resemblance
as dressed to the cotton-tail rabbit that
depredates on the gardens In this vicin'
ity.
People should be careful how they pur.
chase game from "'Possum George" In
deed. the city authorities should prompt
| ly put stop to his business.
