A Georgia Goose Story.

“Yes, sir,” said the Georgia hunter, “a drove of wild geese came flying over, and, for a wonder, they were all so close together that for the length of a mile and a half they hid the sun, so that the chickens went to roost at midday. I climbed to the woodshed—so as not to strain the gun—and fired both barrels; then, quickly reloading. I gave ’em another broadside, and for two days thereafter the farmers were picking up dead wild geese all over the settlement! What’ll you fillers take?” —Atlanta Constitution.
