Possum Hunt.

On last Monday, when the
evening hung out her stars only,
the Nimrods and Dianas of the
Possum Club assembled at the
home Of Miss M. Neidermeier,
with many shout and merry
peal of laughter.
They followed the familiar
route, trusting more to faith
than sight and crossed the river
at Echols' Point. After turning
Old Smokehouse, Postoffice and
Traylor loose the party waited
with much Impotence, only to
be disappointed for sometime.
Thinking to retrace and call in,
we then heard the circling
hounds open in full cry, and you
will never know how the hol-
lows ring with melody and the
hills are thrones OF music until
you are a "pcssum hunter
After a chase of some time,
Old Smokehouse Postoffice and
Traylor were located on the high
est hill in Marion county and the
possum on the highest limb Of
q 'simmon tree on this highest
hill. The hill was steep and
hard to climb, but the reward
was greater than the effort, and
when the new members of the
club refused to hold the possum
by the tail, because of their short
acquaintance with the 'possum
family, the fun was greater than
it all. The second chase was
over the hill and into the hollow
again, but part of the party be-
ing afflicted with skirts was
forced to retreat from the at
tack Of briars, and allow the
skirtless division to advance.
The second 'possum was larger
and fatter than the first; and
this is no 'poseum story, either.
After the roll was called and
no one found missing, Boss"
built dandy bonfire, as only
Boss knows how to build. The
hunters then partook Of the re-
freshments, which were not very
fancy, but substantial, and were
heartily enjoyed by all.
AS our treasurer; Rupert,
could not be present, ALI was
unanimously elected protein,
but being short in statue and the
'possum so large, it was neces-
sary to appoint Boss and Mr..
Smith to carry them home, so as
not to drag them on the ground.
After singing couple of good
old campfire songs the club hit
the road for home, arriving, well
early.
To the inquiring traveller who
is out after experience we would
recommend one trip with this
'possum club for an ordinary
pleasure jolt, two trips for a sea
sons delight and three trips for
the time of your life.
Those who were present on
the hunt were: Misses Hale,
Todd and Neidermeier. Messers.
Echols. Smith, of Colorado
Springs, Langworthy and Mr..
and Mrs. ALI Neidermeier.

To tle Hon. p. A. Turner, Dis
trict Judge Of the Fifth Judicial
District, presiding ~ this the
November term Of court:
We, the Grand Jury, having
been duly impanelled by your
Honor 1t the beginning Of this
present term Of court, beg 70
present TO you our final report,
a. follows:
After carefully examining and
inquiring into all Of the evidence
presented to US or of which we
had any personal knowledge, we
found and presented to your
Honor IS true bills, which con-
sisted Of II felonies and IL mis-
demeanors. We also appointed
q committee from the grand
jury TO examine the county OFF,
Gals books, who made the fol-
lowing: After investigat n &
the reports of the precinct OH
GERS, find them very unsatisfac-
tory. Reports are not made on
prescribed forms and are writ
ten in an almost unintelligible
manner, and that we further
find that the money collected by
said officers is not turned over
to the county treasurer for sew
eral weeks after the quarter
ends, 50 it is impossible to check
with the treasurer's report. We
recommed that these reports be
turned in promptly at the end Of
the quarter, that they may be
checked against the treasurer's
report: otherwise we find the
finance of the county in good
condition.
We also examined the county
Jail and found it to be kept clean
and in good condition, except
one stove which needs repairs.
We also examined about two
hundred witnesses and this con.
stitutes a complete report Of the
grand jury, and as there is no
unfinished work before US of
which we have any knowledge,
we wish to thank your honor for
the charge given US and the Dis
tricc Attorney for his assistance,
and also the sheriff. and we re-
specially ask for our discharge.
