JOHNNY, GET YOUR GUN.
The Sportsmen Preparing to Have a
eha Great Time Tomorrow.

The birds and other small game today enjoy
ing moderate degree of freedom and security
in the woods and fields near Washington will
not know where to hide tomorrow from the
army of men and boys that will be after them
with fire arms of every description. 1t is on
Thanksgiving day above all other days in the
year that the woods are frequented by sports
men, and tomorrowit is likely that there will
be gunner to every rabbit within ten miles
OF the city. For the past week or two fire
arms have been undergoing repair or cleaning
and bunting dogs have been given the needed
exercise to reduce their flesh. Along the lines
Of the railroad most of the farms are posted
to keep gamers off them, while along both
Baltimore and Ohio lines and the Baltimore
and Potomac there are many villages and the
residents manage to kill or scare off most of
the game. In Virginia it is different The farms
there are not so generally posted and gunners
get more encouragement from the farmers than
they do In Maryland. On the Alexandria and
Fredericksburg railroad there are many places
where gunners are welcomed and provided for
at small cost, and the country not being so
thickly settled there is more game Then
again, the gunners say that in Virginia they
have the freedom of the country more than
they do in Maryland.
NEVER MIND THE WEATHER.
Inc weather indications this morning were
against the sportsmen, but then there are not
many gunners who will stay at home on that
account. Many will leave town this evening
and will naturally expect the weather to be
good tomorrow and if it isn't it will not mat
ter much. little boy who wants to go gun
ming said that he wished it would rain tomor-
row. Asked why SO, he said that if it rains the
birds will be wet and will have to sit in the
trees. They will not be able to fly away and
there will be a better chance to get bag full
of them.

herd met business reverses and made general
assignment OF his property Pepper requested
