Special 10 tie Meas.
Having seen the Editors request to
give the boys a few dots about fox
hunting, 1 feel it my indispensable
duty to respond, although this Will
reach the News too late for this week
issue, but it will be all right for next
week. / don't hardly know at which
end of the narrative to begin, but a
splendid idea is to wrap up we'll II II
is cold and you are on horseback. FIJI
snuff box with salt and take pinch
occasionally to keep your throat and
voice in good shape. Arm yourself
with a hunting horn and foot it occas-
ionally. This spurs the dogs and ADDS
greatly to your personal appearance.
After the dogs begin to circle about
bring your voice into play, something
on this style, ''Whoo-ee. Go on,
Lead" He is sure to hear you, and,
of course, will hunt closer and faster.
OF course you must keep clear and
out OF hearing of sensible people, for
they might not understand and might
mistake you for patient who has es-
capped from some lunatic asylum. l
write this for the benefit of my three
cousins, viz, Walter little, Johnnie
and Jessie Majors, and my friend, Jes-
sic Redmon. who are great fox hunters
and would feel grateful to the Editor
if he would mail each a sample copy of
the News containing this article. Their
postoffice is Rossville, Ga. But to 60
back to my subject. You want to stop
and listen breathlessly, and when you
don't hear anything but leaf rust
ling in the branch of tree near by,
you want to turn loose that soul-thrill-
ing, "Whoo-ee, go on, Lead" Keep
this up at long intervals, while your
companions also listen and shiver
Bye and bye you will hear old Lead
give voice to long lonesome howl,
followed by couple of short banks
Then you may consider that he has
run across the trail of something. The
next step is to start in the direction OF
the place you hear Lead bark, at the
same time cheering your companions
with, "Come on, boys, or "Let's go,
boys, that was old Lead If You are
walking you must start in long trot,
taking care to steer clear of lowhang-
ing branches or projecting twigs, thus
protecting your eyes. And if you are
riding a $3.50 horse you must clap
spurs or lay on the withe or quirt
hard and fast enough so you can be
sure you are putting him to his swift
est speed, drawing rein occasionally
to listen, and if you still can hear
Lead you must not forget to yell at the
top of your voice, "Whoo-ee! Go on,
Lead" Exciting sport-great fun, is
it mott And after being out all night
and part of the next day, you must do
the first thing that comes into your
sleepy mind, and that is to give each
dog dose of strychnine or load of
shot, beginning with Lead. Then get
to bed as soon as possible and go to
sleep.

today and everybody seemed glad to
see everybody else
Miss Alice Smith returned home
Sunday afternoon from an extended
visit to her brothers..
Miss Myrtle Cunningham had COM
pany Sunday. Her best fellow from
Cedar Grove was to see her and, of
course, she was very much pleased.
Dances are scarce around here at the
present time. The last one ended in a
general mixup. Revolvers we're ex-
hibited, but fortunately none were ex-
ploded. 1t is needless to state that the
party broke up in pandemonium.
