Mildred Graves, of Morocco, district deputy of the Pythian Sisters, inspected the local lodge Thursday evening. Degree work was given and refreshments served. Ernest Sims, l&yeaifold son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Sims, of south of town, is quite a hunter for a boy of his years. Saturday morning he killed an opossum weigh-, ing twenty pounds on his father’s farm. Bernard Gerrich was along with him and was as proud of it as young Sims. The opossum is a rare animal in these parts and is very harmless. They are very fond of persimmons and in the south the colored folks prize an opossum very highly for a Thanksgiving feast.
