It seems that some Of the HOOK and
line fishermen, at GAINESVILLE, h vent
vet learned a snake from a fishing
worm. a gentleman, well known to
many in Edenton.. on SUNDAY, week
ago, took a notion 20 go fishing; after
securing hook and line he went out
cooking for bait He came to an Cd
.og and turni g it over grabbed a
arge snake about Ii inches long, and
thinking it a worm, started out lie
boarded his canoe and beited his
hook. He sat for several hours but
not bite did Ineffective. Getting
Iisgusted he's eturned to the steamer
where all the crew joined in hearty
laughter.

RoCKYHocK, n. c., April 4, IS

RocKYHocK, n. c., April 4, IS.
Mr.. EDIToR:-As YOU haven't had
a line from orr community in some
time, ! will endeavor to sCribble off d
few for you The very rainy season
has caused us farmers TO be quite
backward, though some Of us have
commenced to plant corn. Peas and
Irish potatoes have been plan ed
some time; the former are looking
tolierably well, considering the back
wardness Of the season. We haven't
seen any potatoes up vet, but the
BUGS are in readiness for them wien
they shall appear. y number OF the
bugs can now be seen clinging to the
purse net stakes in the ChOwan river.
How they get there is difficult to
account for, unless they have been
borne along by the freshets from the
N1eherrin and NottOw1y river e.
The beetles have been so very de
structive to tn potatoe crops for the
last two years that many OF us have
not planted SO largely as formerly.
We are at a loss to know what to
plant for a money crop. We VIII
az in try watermelOns, as we discOV-
cred last season that the kObb Gem
would be renumerative, if planted
extensively enough.
Our fishermen are quite gloomy;
no fish, scarcely, except very small
perch and catfish. The water in
Chowan river is very muddy, too
much so for behring's.
Your correspondent had quite an
encounter with a tremendous Black
fish on last Saturday evening. While
Fisherman & farmer. [volume] (Edenton, N.C.) 1887-19??, 1888-04-06

crossing the Rockyhock Swamp
near Mr.. F. V. Byrum's he was sud
IDENTIFY attacked by large fish which
frightened his horse very badly; so
great was the commotion IN the
wafer for a while that he thought
that he was besieged BY lot of
snakes. After while he was able
to discover that his adversary was
a very large black fish. 1t continued
to play around his horse aud cart
with such velocity that water was
thrown by the fish into his cart. 1t
was with great difficulty that the
W.T.. er could prevent his horse from
running away with him. She at
tempted to turn around two or three
times while the fish was man9uvrerng
IN front of her. After a while we
succeeded n making our escape
without any broken bones, but was
forCibly reminded of the fac of the
prophet Jonah We believe that the
fish was at least p feet long and five
inches in diameter. Having related
the incident to some of our old fish
! ermen, we were informed, that it is
very probable that he old fish had
young ones with her d was fight
ing 10 protect them; whatever may
! have been the cause, this scribe
! doesn't desire to renew a like Elk
I perience.
Wishing you and yours a happy
future, / subscribe myself as ever,
