PROTECTION OF GAME.

In almost all sections of the
country where Gun Clubs do
not exist, the game law is disre-
garded, and young quail are shot
before they are able to fly, thus
violating a state law. The Fitz-
gerald Gun Club intends to see
to it that the law is not violated
and that the game in Irwin County
is protected. A reward of
twenty-five dollars ($25) will be
paid by the Club for the name of
any and all persons who violates
the game law, in 1908, with evil
dence to convict.
Below the law is printed in full
for the benefit of those who are
ignorant of the game law.
