LINVILLE FALLS, N. C. 
(Continued from page 790.) 
As to hunting—the gunner has a variety of 
game from the small gray squirrel to the big black 
bear. The wild mountains and gorges make 
splendid cover for bears, and nearly all the 
natives have their scarred bear hounds, and a 
long list of tales of how “the 'biggest bear on 
the mountain” got away. 
For fowl shooting, the woods are full of ruffed 
grouse, while quail are plentiful in the valleys. 
Although there are a few turkeys, they are very 
wild and hard to find. 
The writer has had the pleasure of visiting 
nearly all sections of the Blue Ridge, and I 
know of no other place that can offer such a 
variety of sport and mountain scenery. To the 
true nature lover—it is a paradise. The botanist 
will find wild flowers everywhere in profusion. 
The lover of birds will find endless variety that 
migrate in the spring to rear their young. The 
geologist will find many interesting stratas and 
formations, and the sportsman—well, go and see 
for yourself! 
“YOU AND ME.” 
That Empty Creel. 
We did not think it trouble, 
To watch each whirl and bubble. 
We sought the brook, each shady nook 
And cast our fly and hook. 
The day was dark and dreary, 
We returned both wet and weary 
With broken rod and tangled line 
And called the fishing fine. 
The Empty Bag. 
We do not think it trouble 
To tramp thro’ weed and stubble 
O’er fields of wheat and maize 
Where hare and rabbit graze. 
The day is cold and cheerless ; 
We return both bold and fearless, 
We put up faithful dog and gun, 
And call it glorious fun. 
We do not count the cost 
of time and tackle lost. 
When bag and creel are filled, 
Not one o’er limit killed. 
The day is bright and cheery 
We are neither tired nor weary, 
This earth so broad and free 
Seems good to you and me. 
A FRAGRANT MEMORY. 
In days of old, 
When nights were cold, 
And I was 'but a kid, 
I spied a tail 
Just off the trail— 
And this is what I did: 
I grabbed said tail 
And with a flail 
I smashed his lid, 
I smashed his trunk— 
!!!???!! ???*** 
Silence be—it was a skunk! 
“No man or boy of common 'scents’ would 
nowadays do such a foolish thing—he’d scoot 
to windward and shoot.”—J. C. H. in “Maine 
Woods” of Nov. 12th inst.
