     There are two cats in Perry, Ga. that are excellent retrievers. Recently
Maj. Brunson had been shooting English sparrows in his horse lot. Those cats, by
their own motion have learned that the report of a gun means something to their
benefit, if properly attended to, Consequently  they closely wat the major when
he picks up his gun, When he fires they rush out and pick up the bird, whenever
he is fortunate enough to kill one. They persistently ckainm and devour every
bird they get. These cats respectively belong to Maj. W. Brunson
 and Mr. C. H. Moore.
