The sportsmen of Maryland and
| Pennsylvania and some in our own
State have agreed not to shoot any
partridges this fall on account of the
scarcity of these birds, believing that
what there are should be left undis-

may not be exterminated. We think
this proposition an admirable one,
and it should be observed In all Sec
tons.

desirable site for manufacturing in
dustry of some sort and can be OBJ
tanned on the most reasonable terms.
