It was the pleasure of the
writer to accompany our friend
C. W. McCrory to How’ell Sun
day last. The people down in
that neighborhood seem to be
very much in favor of the re
moval of the court house to a
more centrally located point in
the county, and every citizen
seems to be willing to donate
to the cause. Now is the time to
act if we expect to accomplish
anything in this direction. One
man who will pull off his coat
and hustle will be worth fifty
who stand around on the street
corners and tell people what
ought to be done and that now is
the time to act. McCrory has
several citizens who would have
moved the court house ere this
if talk would move it. However,
it takes more than street corner
speeches to do this. While in
Howell we were the guest of Mr.
and Mrs. Tom Martin, whose
hospitality is an established fact,
both being very pleasant and
agreeable people.

HUNTERS AND HUNTED.
Ed CarlLee and Allen Roddy
j two of Augusta’s popular young
j men and crack hunters came over
I to McCrory last Saturday. Tn
the afternoon they accompanied
A. J. Marsh down to the Bayou
on a turkey hunt, returning in a
few hours with two turkeys and
one “what-it-is, ” which the boys
captured alive. They told of
some thrilling experiences and
other “fish stories” in con
nection with their trip and how
they captured the “strange bird. ”
In speaking of how they got the
turkeys they said that they were
walking along looking for almost
anything but turkeys, when all
at once they ran across two of
the finest turkeys in the woods, a
hen and a gobbler which were
leisurely wending their way
down the road. Of course the
turkeys saw* the boys but the
mere fact that man with gun
was among them did not worry
them in the least. The boys fired
some five shots at each turkey,
and they know they hit the mark
every time. The turkeys, how
ever, seemed to enjoy the fun un
til the boys caught them and
began clubbing and shim ping
them. The hen died of friegi.
while the gobbler died of hea
j failure due to his sympathet
! nature. At least Mr. Man ■
! thinks so. The boys of cour.
I know they shot them. It doe.
| seem strange that after turnin;
| their artillery loose on them the;
I have to club them to death. Tin
I is private information which w<
i were told to keep secret, and w*
wouldn’t let the Augusta peopi
I know it for a new necktie. B
i that as it may they got the tur
keys.
The bird captured was on ex
| hibition at Mrs. McFall’s popu
lar hotel where quite a number
of our citizens took a peep at it.
Ed says he will try to make a
pet of the bird, but if it should
die he will have it stuffed. It is
a very rare bird and it is sup
posed to be a stray. Just what
’tis we are unable to say. lr
size it can be compared to tin
mallard duck; with crane likt
legs. Its plumage is lovely
Several cannot account for ibi
presence here but that’s easy.
Woodruff county is attracting the.
eyes of the world and this bird
caught the contagion.
While in our city the boys
paid the News office a pleasant
visit, and to say that they were
proud of their turkeys would be
putting it very mild. We don’t
blame them for this. For the
next few months the subject of
their conversation will doubtless
be “turkeys and how to kill
them.” In the evening they in
dulge! in a game of high five,
catching the night train on the
fly for Augusta.
