WHAT TOURISTS ENJOY.

THE "Bob White," or what is known as the partridge—the game bird of America, abounds in this section. Trained dogs, guides and teams for those who are fond of the sport can be had at a very reasonable cost. This is the finest sport known, and is indulged in eagerly by natives as well as numbers of northern tourists who come here every fall and winter for nothing else than to enjoy the excitement of the hunt and the splendid bracing atmosphere. The gaming season begins October 15th and ends April 1st.
