Last Saturday the republican ma

Justice Hughes resigned his place

All efforts to bring about peace

mated Theodore Roosevelt for presi-

Burr clover makes a good cover

HUNTERS TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF LAST HUNTING DAY

Atlanta, March.-Hundreds of At
lanta nimrods t, Ok the field Yesterday
to get final shot at the quail. The
Georgia season closed last night The
hunting has been good all over the
state and thousands of birds have
been killed.
State game authorities believe that
the automobile has been the cause of
the increased slaughter of birds dur
ing the last couple of years. They
say that hunters get around deal
more since the advent of the auto.
They are able more easily to reach the
places where the birds are more
abundant and naturally kill more
game.
In addition to being a good bird
year, Georgia hunters have killed
a good many bear, deer and wildcats
this winter.
