There are many complaints from
the law-abiding sportsmen that the

cut short by gunners who did not wait
for the open season to begin operations.
II is claimed that the partridges have
been almost eXterminated and that the
rabbits have been thinned out to a
marked ilegree. This condition is I'M
fortunate, for il does not give the legiti
mate sportsman any show.

For a number of years the shipping
of holly has been a source of consider
able revenue both To grower and ship
per in this county. but the indications
at this time are that the crop will be
failure The shortage in the crop, the
growers explain, was caused by the
two weeks of wet weather in October,
followed by heavy frost, which
caused the berries to turn black and to
fall off in large quantities. 1t is feared
that the fruit which does mature will
be in small quantities and of an inferior
quality. Mr.. Samuel 7. Johnson, of
near Wesley Station. informs us that
that where he expected to cut from
three to four hundred dollars worth,
he would scarcely cut enough to amount
to one third of that sum. Reports
from other parts of the county also in
dictate a shortage in the crop.
