time. And the end is not yet, still
they come.
Their boldness and daring have also
increased in proportion to number.
Therefore, as last resort for the pro-

farmers have decided upon a new and
novel scheme of determination.
We propose to institute drive, mod
eled after the style of the old fashioned
fox drive of the eastern states
People in different parts of the coun-
ty have made various attempts at
catching wolves, but have always been
unsuccessful by lack of organization
and proper methods,
What we need, and must have, is a
sufficient number of people, to enable
US to properly execute our plans.
Therefore, IN order to insure success,
we extend cordial invitation to all
parts of the county to participate in
| this, the only wolf drive the county has
ever witnessed.
Let everybody come. Let nothing
deter you from participating in this
day of merry>making. 1t matters not
how far away you live, if the day is
pleasant come. Your presence is nee
| essary to insure success. Bring a good
stout club to defend yourself. You
may need it as no fire arms will be al.
