Thirty Quail in Thirty Days.

We have heard it said, time and

quails in thirty days, eating one
quail each consecutive day, until

man named r, T, Cox, of Mountain

could hide this number of birds un-
der his vest, and he set his traps
and caught his birds and accom-
plished the feat easily, and is now
looking for the fool fellow who
wants to put up dough that he
can't do it. Mr.. Cox is native of
Georgia, is 80 years old, 6 feet four
iaches in height, and weighs 200
pounds, He challenges any one
who doubts the above to call on
him, and he will put up his money
that he can, not only eat 30 quails
in thirty days, but that he can de-
stroy more birds than any other liv-
ing man,
