A Huge Blackfish

L. A. Stubblefeld of the Florence hotel
received blackfsh Monday weighing %
pounds that had been caught about mile
from Coden. The fish was captured by
C. b.. Enochs of Channon, Miss, and II.
NJ Burt of Birmingham. This is the larg-
est blackfish ever caught in those waters
and weighs three pounds more than its
nearest competitor for primal honors. the
last mentioned having been caught at that
point about year ago.
Mr. Burt sent a letter along with his
trophy and graphically described the land
ing of the splendid specimen of the finny
tribe. 1t seems that Mr.. Burt and his
wife. accompanied by Miss Ethel Gross
of this city and Mr.. Enochs. started on
their fishing trip in an electric launch. A
rowboat was carried in tow.
Mr.. Burt said in his letter: Mr.. Enochs
and myself got in the rowboat and cast
our lines. The lines had been in the water
but a short while when l felt a sharp tug
at my hook, and for the next half hour life
was made miserable for both of us. Our
boat was towed more than mile away
from the launch. The ladies declared
that it was grand sight, but l never
want to go through the same experience
again. This is the largest fish caught here
in more than year and the largest black
fish ever caught at this place. The largest
blackfish having been caught In these
waters prior to this one weighed ~
pounds"
The fish was shipped by express, and Is
large enough to supply 10 people with a
good dinner. Mr.. Hearst, chief clerk OF
the FLORENCE hotel, says that the most re-
markable thing about the catch was the
fact that neither of the active partici-
pants had ever before caught fish weigh
ing more than three pounds.
Mr.. Burt was careful to give Mr.. Enocns
due credit for his part in landing the Dig
Ash. and wrote: HE deserves fully as
much praise as do, for 1t took both OF
us to catch the big fellow. And we did
not have time to hold pink tea conversa-
ton, either"

New Contract For Lights

Through the efforts of Mayor
Anderson and the board an excep-
tionally reasonable contract has
been made with the Idaho Oregon
Light q Power Co. for the power
required in Meridian for the next
five years, which includes street
lighting and power for the pump
ing plant. The rate for the pump
ing plant is 4c per kiIowat hour,
and 2Ac for municipal lighting,
and a fiat rate Of $72.OO per month
for the street lights.
An entire new improved system
of lighting the streets will be
adopted, the out-of-date arcs Civ
ing place to Mazda lights. Eigh-
teen Of the $50 9. p. lights will be
Z placed on the business street COR
ners, and the go c. p. in the resi-
dence part of town. OF the latter,
80 will be placed, making SO lights
in all, instead Of IL as at present
This means light on every corner
in town, and while not quite as
brilliant as the arcs, the residence
corner lights will be 80 much more
numerous that the service will be
great deal more satisfactory
The village now pays $40 a month
for IL arcs, and the 80 will cost
1920. The 500 year saved on
the pumping rate over the old con.
tract will more than Offset this and
the village will get more service al
less cost. The large Mazda lights
to be put on the business corners
are ahead of anything ever before
used in town, and much more
powerful and brighter than the
arcs nov In use.

Annual Bird Day
Will be Advocated

Atlanta, May 7.-Woman's suf-
frage may not stand much of a
show at the coming session OF
the legislature, but there is one
woman in Georgia who is anx-
ious to see new laws formulated,
who will undoubtedly have a
hearing. She will come. not to
ask equal rights for women, but
to ask for protection for the song
birds of Georgia, and for the in
stitution of annual bird day cele'
bration in this state that will
teach young and old the value of
their little feathered friends.
The woman is Mrs. Waverly
Fairman, of Atlanta, who has
the distinction of being the only
female game warden in the world
She is also secretary of the Bur-
roughs Society in Georgia, and it
is in this capacity that she has
formulated the request which
will be submitted to the incom-
ing legislature, urging that an
annual hird-day be set apart in
Georgia.
The efforts of the Burroughs
Society are arousing a wide in
terest in the Importance OF bird
lore and bird conservation, and
Mrs. Fairman has already recelv
ed the promise of assistance from
well known members of the as
sembly.
Bird-day. as planned, would be
something like the annual arbor
day. All public school children
would take part in it, and it is
felt that it could be made a beau
tiful as we'll as instructive event.
