reason this sport is more popular than usual, '‘is you'don’t J-iavc. to "pass the ajnr-iunit-

some one along that,can climb a:tree, .The "tv/o'-huntors" I ha've in mind are brioth'ers,
Durhfun and John’ Viliisnant, Brother Durhein does the hollering while brother John does
the climbing, I have been told the^r go several times each week and each time they
go, they bring back a lot of. ’possums.*
The last time they went they caught seven of the .little ?re,a-bures*,;.'total 30 lb’s.
So you see 'that is a lot of ’possum, .. " ” .• .
