  In 
  more 
  secluded 
  neighborhoods 
  and 
  in 
  other 
  parts 
  of 
  

   the 
  State, 
  the 
  wild 
  turkey 
  is 
  as 
  numerous 
  as 
  ever. 
  

  

  The 
  Partridge, 
  or 
  Quail 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  termed 
  in 
  other 
  States, 
  

   seems 
  to 
  be 
  more 
  abundant 
  in 
  northern 
  and 
  middle 
  

   counties 
  than 
  in 
  those 
  bordering 
  on 
  the 
  Mississippi. 
  

   This 
  may 
  in 
  part 
  be 
  attributed 
  to 
  the 
  circumstance 
  

   that 
  very 
  little 
  small 
  grain 
  is 
  produced 
  on 
  the 
  large 
  

   cotton 
  estates.
