brought into the city by an Augusta
hunter was landed here Saturday af-
ternoon. The party included w. J..
Skehan, ]. E. Page and w. T. Critch-

and made headquarters at Croker

Thursday was the last day of fishing
for this season and all hands enjoyed
that during Thursday. securing all
they needed for camp use and I'll the
law would allow them to bring home.
Those brought out ran from l a to 2h
pounds and were beauties. Most of
them were served Sunday at dinner at
Hotel North. Others graced the tables
Of friends.
The buck was shot at a spring,
where he had come to drink. He was
a handsome seven-prong chap and
presented a splendid sight as he stood
broadside on, but it was deer the par
ty was after and he fell.
The party report the presence Of
many hunters in the woods and a fair
amount of deer shot on the first day.
but they say the wet summer has
caused such a growth of green stuff
that even the tote roads are full of
good feed and in consequence, in that
section, the deer are farther back
than usual and will stay there until
the frost comes and kills this feed, SO
that the deer must come out after
their food.
The foliage is said to be very beau
tiful at this time Of year and the
