Shad and Catfish.

especially good friend, the atlanta Con

Tor concerning the attitude Of The Wash
sngton Herald toward the star-spangle6
shad Of the placid Potomac and The
humble but not inglorious catfish. The
Constitution AYERS that WashinEronians
old-timers and comelatelies, really prefer
catfish 20 shad, and that all stories 10
the contrary are not fashioned IN sincerity
Or founded on fact.
The Constitution Is well meaning. we
have no doubt It has an inordiaate fond
ness for catfish. Of course. This is nat

Southern environment It finds It hars
