Our good friend. Claude Deal,
pounded" us last Friday with a fine,
large rabbit, the first friend to think
OF us rabbitWise so far as our recol-
lection runs during the past twenty
years. Mr.. Deal does a rushing bust |
ness in rabbits-that Is, he kills lots
of them. Since the first snow four
weeks ago he has bagged 80 with a |
22-calibre rifle. And he is putting
them to good use. Before killing a |
hog Mr.. Deal goes rabbit hunting,
and then when he kills his porker he |
boils the head and other portions of |
the pork, at the same time similarly |
treating quantity Of rabbit meat,
boiling both until the meat comes
readily off the bone. Then the rab- |
bit and hog meat are mixed together,
ground for sausage and stuffed into |
castings for use later. Mr.. Deal finds |
the combination good one, stating !
that the sausage thus made Is far |
superior to pork-beef sausage. He |
has killed three hogs so far and has |
another to slaughter later, with his
supply Of pigs reday for the 1918
crop" Of meat. He has put up about |
90 pounds Of pork-rabbit sausage.

lies to be present, with a few special
friends Of the young couple. Miss
Harrison Is we'll known throughout
Oconee, having tanght school at sew |

and Is deservedly popular here and |
wherever she Is known. Mr., Smith |
