 LAKE WINNEMAUG GREAT PLACE FOR | FISHING.
 Last week George Freeman and Freder- ick Fitch caught one of the best strings of pickerel in Lake Winnemaug which has been seen here this season. There was about 45 pounds on the string, all good sized fish. This lake is furnishing 2 the best fishing ground of any lake of the same size in the state as all those 1 who have tried it can testify. One req. son for the exceptional number of fish in I the lake can be found in the fact that the we'll stocked pond of Morgan Warehouse which is situated just above, gave way l some time ago. Consequently the fisher men are getting the benefit of both ponds MIR DELAND ALWAYS GETS THE PRIZES
