Seneca Lake News Waves

NEWS IN GENERAL. The wealth
er, with its heavy snow fall has
stopped only necessary travel. In
some parts around here, we have
around % inches of snow.
We had some fox hunters in these
parts the first of the week, with
hounds and guns. Fox killers, but
they were given a very cool recep
ton and told people in these parts
do not allow their foxes killed, and
they better move on to other parts,
and they did this, as they did
not venture on the farm of this type
Taper. We don't allow no red fox
trapped or killed. We are out for the
chase of the fox with dogs for plea
sure ONLY.
OAK HAGUE and Sid Bates act
ing as body guard, motored this
ribbon puncher to Summerfield on
Tuesday morning to catch the
lightning express bus to the city of
Caldwell for our F. & F. P. A..
meeting This writer had the honor
of being invited to the home of
Henry Gill for the purpose of put
ting on the noon day feed bag. We
met the better half of Henry, who is
an excellent hostess and she served
us fried pork chops done TO turn,
mashed potatoes and that good
brown gravy; what a meal! We
saw the fine pack of dogs Henry
has in his miniature kennel. They
are very promising looking dogs.
We filed our petition for state
representative and ran into our op-
ponent in a democratic stronghold.
We are of the opinion he was look
! ing for sympathy from this side of
the political stand point. We are all
wondering if he is still passing the
buck in regards to the bounty be-
ling paid for the gray fox? The May
primary will decide this little mat
ter of differences of thinking among
the republican voters.
