During the heavy southeast storm in the early hours-of Friday morning an unusual occurrence happened in the grackle (crow-blackbird) colony, occu- pying thelr usual icnements in the big pines on East Main street. Two of the large but niéely made nests were blown from the trees, both had contained part- ly incubated eggs which were broken on the lawn. The grackle s a careful nest builder and the ruin of his home by wind is very seldom noted, Two local trout fishermen were whip- ping one of the brooks off east of Stone fish trap. The trap was made of this year's green willow twigs, woven care- fully, and with no little art, so as to fashion a long slim basket. One end was closed Wwhile the other had a long concaved funnel entrance. Stakes driv- en into the bed of the brook held the | end up-| stream. Theplan of the poachers it was evident it was to set the trap well down toward the mouth of the brook, then go | away up the current a half mile or more and wade it down, with a great splash- ing and poking under the overhang of the banks with long sticks, There was no evidence to be learned as to catches or ownership. Men with such devices as these can clean out a good brook in a few drives. A Jewett City man was plowing his! garden' one day this week when the plow turned out of the dark loam a handsome little turtle mot a bit larger in circum- ference than a sflver haif dollar. The little chap was exceedingly spry. He could run across a dinmer table four feet wide, in ag many seconds, which he did with his neck stretchied out before and his little sharp tail sticking out stralght behind. It is some question how he got where he was found. Turtle eggs are not generally hatched untll June, At the Methodist §hurch, Sunday morning, at 10.45, daylight saving time, there Wiil be special music and the sub- ject of the pastor's sermon will be, In Partnership With Christ.

Thursday morning @ earrier pigeon came to rest on one of the window sills at E. F. Burleson's in Sylvandale. Later in the day he flew away, as the house- hold thought, on his way home day morning, during the heavy southeast storm, he came again, evidently lost and bewildered.
