The Sea Girl with its record
of never making a trip to the

of last season without bringing
in 2 to 30 barracuda each voyage,
came in Saturday with five of
the "Wolves of the Sea." It was
the first catch of 'cuda's iqf the
year. The fighters ranged in
weight from 20 to 30-pounds and
they were caught by A. W. Colwell
of Clinton; G. V. Boyd of
Warrenton A. J. and Bill Boyd of
Erwin.
On the same trip the party got
six beautiful amberjack, ranging ,
from 23 to 34-pounds each. Bill
Boyd, a 12-year old boy, got the
34-pounder, and a blistered
tijurrlb to boot. His fish insisted ,
on turning submarine and sounding
each time when it was about !
ready to be gaffed. It was finally J
boated. j
Several blue fish and bonito ,
were also* taken. The party was

Winners In Each Division
Given In Report
Of Awards
The annual flower show sponsored
by the Woman's Club was
held on Friday in the gymnasium
and was acclaimed by many to
be even more successful than
the shows put on in the past. Because
the show was held so late
in the spring flowers season the
individuality of the exhibitors
was called upon in making their
arrangements without the usual
flowers.
The show revealed the careful
planning and untiring work of the
committee headed by Mrs. Rufus
Dosher as general chairman and
all of the club members who had
a part in putting it on.
Prizes were awarded in the
afternoon after punch and cakes
were served from the beautifully
arranged table. Mrs. Dosher presented
the prizes to the winners.
