A QUANTABACooK SALMON Mrs. Maine
Hills hooked fve-pound salmon at Quanta,
bacook last Sunday afternoon and brought him
to the surface, but as she is novice in the
piscatoriai art she passed the rod to her father,
Mr.. A. S. Heal, who after twenty minutes
play, landed it in the boat. Although this pond
was stocked with salmon fry many years ago,
only nine salmon have been caught, the last
before Mrs. Hills catch by the late Fred G.
White. The fishing has been poor there of late
and with four or FIVE boats out on the pond
daily only few black bass and white perch
have been taken, and Mrs. Hills catch made
quite sensation. A movement is on foot to
screen the outlet, as it is thought the young
fish make their way into the stream and down
the ST. Georges river.

from near and distant friends gave great
pleasure to their recipient.

some were sold at the houses at % cents

berry, which sold at lower price. The rasp-
berries sent to market mostly the cultl-
waited kind, although the wild are reported as
plentiful. Blueberrles are now in the market,
and last Saturday Howes & Co. had crate of
strawberries.
