Gregg Chery, the Stateie next Governor drew much applause Just when prospects are good for hunting, the season has been extended, and the bag limit raised, the hunting horizon is clouded for guides and others who entertain sportsmen. The scarcity of shells is not the only cloud on the hori zon. It Js a scarcity of labor to help the guides carry on their work, and to help the womenfolks io the cooking. Consequently, it is reported many who formerly en tertained duck hunters, may not j operate this season. Already, from Mattamuskeet to Currituck we find an increased growth of wild g;rasses, and news that the birds are coming down south. We are now hearing their honking, and the rustling of their wings at night. On November 2, the seasons opens.
