Hunting Season Approaching Fast.

Already the approach of the deer
season is heralded by unmistakable
signs. The local hardware dealers are
beginning TO get the paraphernalia for
the cutting down of the heet-footed
animals in their wild career through
the woods, in their windows, and mum
erous new rifles have been added TO the
stock from last year in order that the
desires and wants OF the sportsman
may be fulfilled. The goods this year
compare very favorably with those of
years gone by, and the beautiful blue
steel rifles, very symetrical in shape,
shells of brass by the hundreds, and
cartridges for the deer, yellow leather
belts, hip boots for wsding the various
creeks in the vicinity where the deer
are most plentiful, can all be found in
the stores of the up-to-date hardware
dealers who try and fulfill all the ds-
sires OF the true blooded sportsman.
True the hip boots are not very much
In demand for the deer hunters but
they are, and always have been in de-
mand by those who have spent their
leisure hours in the less thickly wood
ed lands where wild duck are plentiful. |
