Locals and Personals


Locals and Personals
Townsend, March 1:-George Wal
ters, a trapper near Taylor's Bridge,
reports that the trapping season so
far has been an exceptionally good
one, due to the cold weather and lots
of snow and ice, these elements hav-
ing forced muskrats and other. fur
bearers from their usual feeding
grounds to seek food. Mr.. Walters
has so far caught over 400 muskrats
and II opposums and he expects to
catch at least 100 more before the
season ends.
Thirty dollars a month and board

the Townsend farmers for their help

1t is regretted that John E. Wilson
and Samuel A. Fortner refused to run
for reelection to Smyrna Town Coun-

both go out of office with the con-
sciousness that more progressive leg
islation took place during their term
of Office than for any period of the
towns history in twenty-five years.
