Seasons aplenty begin

soon for area hunters
Greetings everyone. I hope this finds everyone either
drying out or dryed out from the rains of recent. And I’m not
complaining about the rain because we need it, I just hope it
hasn’t washed anyone away!
Saltwater fishing continues to have plenty of promise.
Inshore the biggest thing to worry about is if the fish are
long enough to be legal. There are a lot of smaller trout and
redfish working their ways in and around the creeks. It sure
makes me excited for later on in the year.
On the freshwater front, I haven’t heard much from any-
one that has been fishing. I’m sure with all the rains, the river
levels will rise and hopefully you’ll be able to navigate the
river and get back into those ‘honey’ holes.
Dove season is fast approaching as well. It comes in Sep-
tember 6 at noon. I know I’m looking forward to an afternoon
of successful shooting hopefully. Keep in mind the license

Marine Corps Pvt. Matthew A. Williams, son of Sherry
L. and James D. Williams of Hortense, recently completed
12 weeks of basic training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot,
Parris Island, S. C. designed to challenge new Marine recruits
both physically and mentally. Williams and fellow recruits
began their training at 5 a. m., by running three miles and
performing calisthenics. In addition to the physical condition-
ing program, Williams spent numerous hours in classroom
and field assignments which included learning first aid,
uniform regulations, combat water survival, marksmanship,
hand-to-hand combat and assorted weapons training. They
performed close order drill and operated as a small infantry
unit during field training. Williams and other recruits also
received instruction on the Marine Corps’ core values--honor,
courage and commitment, and what the core values mean
in guiding personal and professional conduct. Williams and Brantley County Adult Education graduates were recognized recently at the annual honor’s banquet for accomplishing a
