Those that are not inreadiness fol
, the opening of the seasons hook and
line fishing are working with might
and main to that end.
. The fans from a distance, especially
are getting anxious as will appear
from the inquiries that are being
made.
Many have already made reserva-
tiOns for boats and accommodations
and are waiting for the word. Come,
all things are ready and the fish have
made their appearance in the bay.
At the present the fish have not ar
rived in quantities sufficient to make
the start although the sea croakers,
commonly called hard heads, are
making their appearance at this time.
Some of the shad fishermen caught
in their shad gill a trout of fine size
and that is a good sign that they are
coming along.
Those that are in position to know
to degree Of certainty say that there
will be operated from our rivers at
least one hundred transportation
boats and the probabilities are more
than that.
There have been and will be sever
al new boats built of large dimensions
and thoroughly equipped for the bus
mess.
Last week there were two boats
launched, one belonging to J. P. Cross,
the other to H. E. Caldwell and these
boats have houses and ample accom-
modations for their patrons. Even
women and children should they want
to take in the fishing can be accom-
modated. The cost of each of them, /
fully equipped will cost from eight |
hundred to a thousand dollars.
The mechanics, Tribbitt and Flack,
are building one of similar size and !
character for J. w. Wilcutts at the
present time, with two others wait
ing and ready with the material for
them just as soon as they can COM
plete the one they are at work on.
The play "Mrs. Briggs of the Poul-
try Yard" was rendered in the La

to the satisfaction of the full house
that was there to listen to them and
the financial part was in keeping with
the more sanguine expectations of all '
