                        They say that laughter is good for what ails you, well I guess it’s a good saying, looking back to the late 1930’s, Turkey Johnson & myself was thinking and spinning yarns about two “characters in the Faceville School.”  One was given a draft card out of the 7th grade, the other attempted to manhandle a 90 pound anvil up over his head, he lost it and many years later went to his grave with a big toe flat as a niller wafer. We sat for near an hour talkin about them characters and things we pulled at Faceville School.

            They’s 2 things I learnt this heah week, one is to not git in too big a hurry to take up time with a child, the othern was always take time to pet a dog.

            Bainbridge Bass Club fished Flint river from Bainbridge, C. Suber won with 5 at 11.77, Joe Pickles 4 @ 10.93, Predmore  5 @ 7.5.  The last 2 wear shoal bass, Suber’s was largemouth.

            The Boys/Girls basketball tournament over on the creek, Hamric won it with 25 lbs, Sean Neal had big fish with 8.9 lbs.

            The Rod Benders Bass Club of Dunnellen, FL, finished a 2 day tournament with Tom Sarver taking first place with 15.8 lbs.  Jeff Patton with 14.3 took 2nd , Lewis Bredice third with 14.1, Jeff Patton had  big fish with 7.2 and Bill Rindlett also caught a big 6 lb. fish.

            Mr. Lewis had another big catch of hybreds on artificial bate this week they seem to have scattered, the black bass fishermen are picking up a few here and yonder, & Sunday big catfish was sited coming into shallow water.  We also have had a limit catches of big ole slab crappie taken on minnows by Jody Wells, he called Pam Marten/Wells, she went by boat and they only caught 4.  After she left they went back to bitten.  Mr. Willis took a big mess of small crappie in the stumps & some biguns in the River. Fall fishen looks great!
