Story in the Reedy paper Sept. 1904
Possum Tail
Wade Dye reports that the great possum which has been fattening on Dusauce Dye's paw paws was killed by the orator and statesman, T.W. Dye..It weighed 75 pounds, and was the largest one grown in these parts. A generous portion was given to C.F. Doolittle, which in a measure atoned for the loss of his favorite possum. Dusauce will make an overcoat out of the hide for winter.
