Trial
& Error
Monday morning to Kenans
vQle much excitement took
place when two Same war
dens rode into town with a
big black mear in the trunk
of their car.
The bear weighing about 775
pounds had been killed at Hol
ly Ridge for committing de
predation, (meaning destruc
tion), this particular bear had
been killed tor destroying bee
hives at Holly Ridge, and also
destroying crops.
Hie Game Warden said that
when a bear is killed it must
be reported to the Game War
dens who in turn give the bear
to some public organization. If
tne bear is not reported, it
is the same offense as killing
a bear out of season.
However, one look at that
bear and his size, I would have
gladly let him have my bee
hives, and would have offered
him the crops too.
I have heard that in Duplin
County several men have kil
led a bear in this area for de
stroying property, but the only
name that I h ave been able
to get bold of is David Ressie
Smith of Kenansville, RFD.
_ Yesterday I had the privilege
of going out to Duplin Country
Club to take the pictures of the
golf winners in the ladies tour
nament. The ladies were en
Joying a beautifully prepared
luncheon and cooling off after
having been on the golf course
all morning in that sun. Some
of the ladies looked as if they
were blistered, and I guess
they were, after that hot sun.
Mrs. Phil Kretsch of Kenans
ville was chairman of the tour
nament, and she seemed to
have her hands full.
"Tis said that when you talk
about the weather you have
nothing rise to talk about. But
this sudden heat - is something
to talk about.

He told the crowd, "If they
