opened on Saturday last. and many gun
nerS were out after quail and rabbit. The
game is reported to be quite plentiful
1t would be well for Cecil countians to
see that the law is enforced in regard to
nonresident gunnerS taking out licenses.
which cost $500. When MarylanderS 20
to Delaware to gun they are compelled
to take out licenses and non-resdents
cunning in this State should be required
to do the same. Make it your business
to see that the law is enforced.

-Gcorge $. Burroughs, the well known
shot, is off on II cunning expedition of
three weeks, part of which time he is
spending on the Susquehanna Flats mt
IIavrc de Grace. He will later go to
South Carolina. Last year Burroughs
made the high record on the Flats for
greaser ducks, killing III of this var
icty in one day. He is great believer
in the Schultzer powder, which he claims
will do the trick every time He repre-
SCENTS that firm. On the opening day this
year, Capt. Frank Jackson. of North
East, was high Cecil county boat, killing
1871 ducks, 81 of which were greasers.
He used Sohultzer powder, and Bur
roughs again claims his opinion is right.
