Famous Writer to be at Bowdle April 15

Ozark Ripley, of Chattanooga, Tenn. the famous writer of Outdoor America will be in Bowdle, April 15 to address the Selby and Bowdle chapters of the Izaak Walton League. The meeting will be held at the school house.

Ozark Ripley who is known as the dean of sports writers, at an early age was a great lover of the outdoors. He was educated in France, but after finishing his education left for the wildest parts of the Ozark Mountains and became engaged in guiding anglers and hunters and training bird dogs professionally.

As a writer on outdoor topics, his work was first seen in the American Field and later in all outdoor publications and soon was regarded as the leading writer of things of interest to sportsmen, anglers and lovers of natural history, a position which he still maintains. His books on different subjects connected with the outdoors are widely read as are his favorite short stories.

Ipswich people are urged to attend.
