THE MOUNTAIN ADVOCATE — MAY 14, 1920
AS YOU LIKE IT
Guy L. Dickinson, Zack Ralston, John Ruggles and A. M. Blue went fishing Saturday. Guy was sleeping the sleep of the just at 3.30 a. m. when he was roused by a thundering on the door of his domicile. He thought hard as to who might be anxious to ambush him, but finally got up and it was Blue, babbling of babbling water and fish. He got Guy up then repeated the cruelty on Ruggles, who thinks bed was meant to stay in at long as possible. Ralston was already a victim and away they went to fish. Blue got one large bass, said to exceed the weight limit of three pounds, weighed on its own scales to be sure. His friends are talking about a gold ring he found in the stomach, but it may be a fish story. We know fishermen. Blue says we should not listen to a bunch of alligators and he comes of good Methodist stock. He insists it is a gold brick and not a gold ring yarn and there you are.
