It was not known until recently,
that there were any deer in this
country. but the other night some
boys went 'possum'' hunting osten-

at the home of Mr.. j. G. Morgan,
and two fawns in the persons of
Miss Maggie May Robertson, Bette
Edmunds and Myrtle Garrett, with
Marie and Marion as fawns. The
young gentlemen beg, that their
names be not called for fear of the
old folks, 1 mean for fear the old
folks will not let them go possum"
hunting again.

Speaking of fairs, permit me to
say, that Prof. Barrow, superintend-

Mr.. Smith is one of the most expert
stock men of the south and we feel
honored by the appointment.
Mr.. John Bussey has also secured
the services of Prof. T. f. Jackson

promised to come, bringing his Ian
tern, and give an illustrated lecture
to farmers on the night of Novem-
Der 10th, the night preceding the

appreciate ii.
