Goiored Sooc!ety Notes,

The school children were considerably eX-
cited Friday the 10th inst, owing to the fact
that at the noon recess a half-grown deer
came dashing into their midst from the top
of Shepherd mountain. As quick as thought
the boys took up the chase, which the dogs
had left off, and ran it into a wire fence,
from which, before it gould extricate itself,
Willie Nhitener and Frank Martin seized it
by the hind legs and soon put an end to its
troubles. l received from the boys ample
proof of the fact, and am only sorry that it
was not two deer they caught instead of one,
If you want to see boys who can catch a dear
at any time, give us call.
