Moore has recently stocked his lake with rainbow or California trout, and about 150 blue Catfish have also been placed in th waters. This will, within two years, make this lake one of the most popular spots in Cherokee county for anglers. The rainbow Trout were received from the State fish hatchery at Bal sam. About seven thousand finger- 1 lings were placed in the stream feed ing th lake and in the upper eddy waters of the lake. The blue catfish were placed in the lake. Th lake will be closed to fish-: ing for th next two years, after .shich time a small daily fishing fee will be required for the privilege of i enticing the finny tribe. Mr. Moore has recently completed j four growing pools on the street leading to the cemetery, just below his house. Th- se pools are eight feet wide by sixteen feet in length, and are from about eighteen to twenty-four inches deep. They are made of concrete, walls and bottom, with outlets for draining when n ces sarv. Mr. .Moore plans to secure small 1'ingcJ Imps from the State and 'Fed eral hatcheries, place them in these pools and grow thvm to a large size before placing them in the lake. Plans are also being made by him to make several smaller dams aV reg ular intervals on the stream abov the lake to form breeding grounds and growing pools. One of these proposed dams has already been con structed below th< lake, which will be j used as a growing pool for bass and [ bream, and he plans to build an other pool for bass and bream breed ing purposes below this one. Mr. Moore is spending consider able mortey on his fishing project, and believes that the demonstration j of private fishing possibilities in this section will be an. inducement to others to build such ponds and lakes all over the county. If he can get: the people to realize the income pos- 1 sibilities from fishing grounds, and the accompanying sport that this sec tion can then offer the tourist, as W. 11 as the home people, then his money and time will be well spent. And this scribe is also anticipating the time when he will be privileged j *o drop a line into this lake and hear the music of the reel as the line goes spinning and dancing through the water! o CORRECTION The statement carried in this pap er of last week that A. M. Simonds failed to index a certain paper, while Register of Deeds is absurd and un true, the object of which i* to mislead the public. The paper was indexed and cross indexed in the name of j both parties appc aring in the pre- 1 amble of the instrument and Sim- 1 onds was held blameless of any de- j fault of duty by twelve citizens of j this county acting as jurors. Mr. Frank Taylor of Topton was a visitor in town Wednesday. DECISIONS GIVEN IN W. N. C.
