Scott, state game and fish warden
will prove of interest to those who are
contemplating a hunting and fishing
trip. "There seems to be consider
able misunderstanding regarding the

Massachusetts, to Portland, Maine, on

keepsakes which he had been collect

not be estimated from a monetary
basis.

Capt. A. V. p. Anderson, came up to
Forsyth on No. and in the afternoon
engaged our team in a game of ball.
The wind was blowing and the sand
was flying in such manner as to make

and gave universal satisfaction. 1t
had been the intention to play another
game Sunday afternoon, but the SOL

Both teams played the game. The
