Declaring that the present State game
laws are class legislation and made only
or CITY gunners from Wilmington and
Philadelphia who can gun in Peunsylva-
mia, New Jersey and Delaware and get
the cream of the shooting because of the
different dates when the seasons open,
two hundred and fifty eight farmers Of
Georgetown and Dagsboro hundreds have
banded together to allow no cunning on
their lands this year. Thousands Of
acres of the best cunning land in the State
are controlled by the men represented in
the Association and in consequence there
is but little cunning compared to pre-
vious years. Game is very plentiful, but
the trospass notices are keeping the
spOrtsmen off the best land The club
proposes to arouse public sentiment to
such an extent by their act that the ex-
listing game laws will be amended in Ian
uary by the Legislature and the present
cunning license tax charged residents
shall be resCin0ed

Seeking u put Georgetown on the
string of fairs which now includes Sails
bury, Pocomoke, Easton, Tasley and
other Peninsula towns, public spirited
men headed by C. A. Ewing, who is at
the head of the Georgetown Driving
Association, are raising funds to make a
county fair permanent featureat George
town The site for the fair will be the
same one used for the driving track, and
a long term lease will be taken on it. 1t
is located just on the edge of the town
and is very convenient. 1t is likely that
the plan will end with the formation of
a stock association to take charge of the
project. Georgetown, which is the county
seat, is centrally located in Sussex county,
and is considered the ideal location for a
county fair.
