is declared that had the season been as

The season for oyster longing comes

Officials urge the construction of mod

One reason for the small catch of
oysters this season Is said to he the
small demand on account of the agita-

waters and alleged disease
Although the oyster season is so
near the close. supplies continue to
come In. and the recent arrival Of
three small vessels provided ample sup
