"l am exceedingly anxious to have the particular hill which 1 en close or some legislation of this kind passed. 1 feel sure that under Ren ernl legislation we can qualify and secure a hatchery in our section. It is ; greatly needed as you know to take care of the hundreds and bun- ' drcds of miles of trout streams in I Western North Carolina. The Go- 1 ernment itself needs a station there for the purpose of supplying the streams on its own land, and the de- ] mands from private owners are very' great and in fact cannot now be sup- i plied from the present facilities. j "Western North Carolina is the i great playground of the east.

The beautiful dresses on display in the Nobby Shop appealed to one of the colored damsels, it is said, and without so much as "by your-Ieave,'' or even a "thank-you," she carried one of the pretty dresses home with her. Then, it is said, these colored sisters visited the store of O. L. Er- j win and helped themselves to a few articles, and evidently desiring- some of the luxuries of life, they stopped into the Mcintosh Variety Store and lifted some of his excellent merchan dise. On thy way home thp articl " I on d'splay in Miss Emma Bagwell's i store appealed to them and they I proceeded to help themselves to a j few things there, so it is said. Mrs. Lawrence found her stolen dress and notified the officers, who made arrest of the women and recov ered practically all of the goods that had been stolen Saturday and Saturday night. It is said that shop' lifting has been going on here for I sometime, and it is believed the ar- 1 rest of the colored women will mean j the end of this practice. egertoT RETURNS ! FROM LONG VISIT! B.
