Both a Fish and Snake Story.

The largest catch of fish yet record
ed is that which is reported here to
have been made by Sid Phelan Jr. of
Atlanta, on his fathers plantation
near here, the other day, when 500
fish were caught at one time
The Phelan plantation is located
on the Flint river, and there are
number of pools near by, caused from
the recent heavy rains and rapid rise
of the river. One day Mr.. Phelan
saw what appeared to be school of
fish in one of these ponds. He ex-
amined and found that this was true
and that the fish were being herded,
as it were, by large snake, which
was swimming around them. He got
a bucket and let it down into the pond
where they were thickest, and when
he pulled it up the bucket was full
of fish. There were over 500, each
about an inch or SO long.-Atlanta

shoes off of old Granny Wigs. The
horses on the rigs tore through the
panic stricken group, spraining the
ankle of Deacon Weber. Poison ivy
effects began to show on the terrified
little ones and few grown ups. And
still the poor drenched mortals hud-
died under the swaying trees. Little
consolation was there in the words of
old Sam Small, that rain never killed

Congress Pages Need Supervision

member has sent home boy who
fell into bad ways and could not be
brought under discipline. There is
not such large proportion of the dis
trict boys in the house as in the SEN
ate. They come from many states.
but some of the more distant states
are not represented.
1t is doubtless fact that the boys
in both houses of congress are under
closer supervision than was the case
at one time. A few examples opened
the eyes of the authorities to what
dangers might confront boys far from
home without the refining influences
that are inseparable from a mothers
love and care While the restraint
Is not irksome, it is designed to be at
least wholesome and for the entire
good of the youths who may very
likely grow up to be themselves max
ers of laws and rulers of the land.
Without doubt it has been a great
trial to most of the youngsters to be
deprived of their vacations for such
a long time. The call of the woods
and fields is strangely insistent to
youth. Every normal, healthy. man.
ly boy yearns to get out in the open
to swim. ride, shoot, sail or disport
himself in the water. To be confined
within even marble walls cannot COM
pensate for the freedom of the fields,
and so the page boys are happy at
last in the prospect of unlimited en-
joyment for a time and rest from
the cares which sit but i'll at best on
young shoulders.
