HENRY WALSH OF HAVANA CATCHES A FOUR FOOT OTTER

Henry Walsh (son of Patrick and Nancy Walsh) of Havana has the distinction of being one of the few persons to catch an otter in this section of Florida. While otters are not an uncommon catch in South Florida they are rarely found around here.

The animal was caught in a pond not far from Havana. It is over four feet long and has been put on display in the window of Bell and Bates. Not only do these animals make beautiful fur pieces but they also last practically a life time.

QUINCY VICTORIOUS OVER CONCORD

On January 5th, the girl basketeers of Concord eighth grade were defeated by the local eighth grade team by a score of 14 to 12. This enthusiastic game opened the season for the girls. The whole high school turned out to see and root for the coming atheletes of Quincy high.

Both teams showed splendid coaching. The Quincy centers had to watch their step in keeping up with the active side center who was Concord's star player.

Both Quincy forwards showed up splendidly, while the guards played a fast game for the regulars. The line up was as follows:
Quincy: Forwards, Lillian Todd, Marion McIntosh. Center, Rachael Burghard, Agnes Mack. Guards, Rena Smith, Martha Joiner,
Concord: Forwards, S. Walsh, M. Cook. Center, I. Chester, Barku. Guards, L. Cooper, L. Kemp.
