Last week your correspondent In
with Esquire T. w. Prentiss
'ent down into Macon county on a
luck hunt. We had a splendid good
ime, an abundance OF hunt, but nary
uck.
The river bottoms we're full of hum
ers aad we could hear the booming Of
uns long before day in the morning
nd until after nine O'Clock at night,
nd We imagined that the ducks were
from a worse epidemic than
ne cholera, but after our experience
S hunters and from what we saw
,hile there, we come to the conclusion
lat each duck killed cost about $1.oo
orth of ammunition and $2.oo worth
flabor. But then there is the fun of
amping around through mud and
ater, the boom, boom and crash OF
earns, and the excitement of the
lase that more than compensates tor I
the loss, One thing we must say
at for true, old-fash;oned hospitality
E Maconites beat the world. Every. .
ing that could be done to make our c
~ pleasant among the good people #
IS done, and they insisted that we
y longer and pressed us to come g :,
ain. May these good people live
lg and prosper is our earnest wish. a
