MUST GET A PERMIT “Chaff” in Chapel “Hill" Weekly. ; Nello Merritt, son of Sanky Mer : ritt, was starting out on a squirrel * hunt with two or three youngsters of > Carrboro. Nello told me something * that many people of this region will * want to know about hunting regula tions in Chatham county. No matter 7 what you hunt—birds, rabbits, squir -5 rels, anything—you must get a permit : from the clerk of court in Pittsboro. * It costs you $5.00 which is a good 1 deal less than you’ll have to pay if you fail to get it and then fall afoul ■ of the law. h -5 (This law is applicable to any coun ty in North Carolina to an outsider 1 hunting within its confines. The same * condition would prevail with a Chat- J hamite desiring to hunt in Orange. It 5 would be necessary for him to go to Hillsboro and get a $5. permit from 7 the clerk of the court.—Record.)

Two or three weeks ago the Pitts boro ball team went over to Ramseur to play the team there. The Ramseur kids beat Pittsboro by a score of 9 to 7. The game was lost to Ramseur on account of the regular pitcher, Mr. Henry Clegg, being absent, although Mr. Ernest Williams did remarkably well for a man that had just passed his teens. Last Saturday Ramseur came over to Pittsboro and what the boys did for the visitors was A.P. Only eight innings were played but Pitsboro only allowed the visitors four runs, the other seven innings being shut outs, and the only reason that they were allowed to score at all was because Pittsboro became careless. Ramseur made the four runs in the sixth inning but this .would not have happened if June Peoples had not j fumbled the ball on second, where he had a chance to make a double play, but didn’t. Take it all in all it was a pretty game of ball, a little slow, it is true, but both sides did well and the game was greatly enjoyed by the large at tendance. MISS EVA SCOTT MARRIED.
