The Hunters Tax Fund.

Two weeks or more ago we were asked
what would become of the fund to arise
from the sale of hunters licenses Zone
of the new Ventress bills making it COM
pulsory that all who hunt, either for the
market or for pleasure, secure licenses
At the time we were unable to answer,
but hazarded 4 guess, which proved to
be good one. The fund will be devoted
to the payment of salaries of game
wardens for the various parishes Of our
State and in defraying the expenses of
three Game Commissioners, selected
from different portions of our State, who
will meet annually in Baton Rouge.
That's all we'll enough, and the move
is surely step in the right direction.
We believe it will, as it should, lead up
to better conditions for the sportsman.
The pot hunter has had his day. He has
about robbed our forests and fields OF
their former hordes of game. Let those
who are willing to pay pittance for the
sport and make an honest effort in the
direction OF game protection and propa-
cation take charge of the field. There
isn't enough left to satisfy the pot
hunter or game hog, anyway.
/ And, while on the subject, We cannot
resist the temptation to once again urge
that when the proper time comes al
sportsmen insist that a portion of the
fund be given over to the purchase o.
different game birds from other localities
to be "planted" in our State, and to be
! offered as bounties for the killing o.
birds and animals Of prey and watel
snakes. We hope to see this follow.

In Memory.

Death is the poet where all may refuge find,
The end of labor, entry into rest;
Death hath the bounds of misery confined
Whose sanctuary shrouds affiiction best
AS Sunday, August 23d, was coming to
close so did the life of George de G.
Pickett, for it was just as the sun was
sinking that his soul took its flight to a
better place. The news of his death was
heard with sincere sorrow in the homes
of those who knew him, and a pale Of
sorrow still hangs over these homes OF
friends and relatives who knew him and
loved him for his goodness of heart and
his entire freedom from mercenary
motives.
George, it is hard to give you up, and
we feel that God has taken from US one
of our best friends, but He knoweth best
and hath transplanted your young life in
a purer world, there to live and prepare
a place for us. 1t will not be long before
familiar faces will come to rejoice with
you in Home of Peace.
Expressions of sympathy to his dear
ones comfort but little, for they know
best their grief, but God will comfort
and care for them in this, their deep
sorrow.
His remains were accompanied to their
last resting place at Cottage Grove by a
host of friends and heart-broken rela-
tives, who will ever miss his dear pres
ence. A FRIEND.

!. II. Gotham & Son sold of their
Ranch, last week, to Mr.. Chas.
Lytle, $4o4 worth of cattle.
These we're beef cattle and had
been grown at cost not exceed
ing $50. This information is not
given for the purpose of putting
our creditors after US, but to prove
that there is good money in stock
raising in Drew County. A good
stock.farm, in a section Of country
where the range is good and water
plentiful will pay better than al.
most any other investment.
There are number of localities in
Drew County where stock-raising
will pay if little time and energy
is devoted to it. The main thing is
to do is to get biooded stock to start
with and then the battle is won.

NJ. d. r Swatv. Special Apen

Mr.. d. r Swaty, Special Agent
for the Government Demonstration
Farm work, whose headquarters
are in this city, returned last week
from visit to his territory, and he
brought back with him a lot of the
genuine boll-weevil, which he has
been showing to our people. Mr..
Swaty says that this pest has made
its appearance in the cotton fields
around Banks. Bradley County,
and Crosset and Hamburg, Ashley
County. There is no doubt but
that the sample shown by him is the
genuine article, and since the
weevils are now within a few
miles of US. it behooyes our farmers
to use all precaution against them.
If all the fields are thoroughly
cleaned up and all rubbish burned.
during the winter. it will
do great deal toward averting
disastrous calamity.
