Wolf Hunters Record,

Ninety-three timber wolves killed
In less than months time is the
record made by James Macintyre of
Quatsino, who has presented a bill to
the government agent there for S1,395,
the amount of bounty at the rate Of
SIS head.
An examination of Mr. Macintyre's
account showed that some of the
wolves were killed before February /,
the date on which the increased
bounty came into effect, and on these
he will be allowed only five dollars
per head, but he has evidence enough
of February's work to make his claim
when revised amount to about $1,000.
1t Is reported that Indians up the
coast, who have learned of the in
crease in bounty on panthers and
wolves to SIS a head, each have taken
to the woods on a hunt, and it is eX-
pected that they will have large sums
to collect from the government.-New

T. Hardy Williams.

| After an illness of several
months, Mr.. T. Hardy Williams
| died at Dallas. Tex, on July
I26th.
| Mr.. Williams made Tupelo his
home, but for a number of years
has been the travelling represen
tative for the American Snuff
Co. in Texas. He represented
the same concern in this terri
tory for a number of years, but
sought other territory on account
of better climatic conditions.
Mr.. Williams first moved to Lee
county from Tennessee and was
engaged in business at Shannon,
Miss, where he was well and
favorably known, taking promi-
nent part in the business affairs
| OF the town and was the leader
in the work of his town. At the
time of his death he held his
membership in the Baptist church
at Tupelo.
His death is the cause Of deep
regret by many friends here who
were held to him by strong ties
of friendship. He was a good
citizen, at all times taking a
stand on the right side in all
matters of public interest and
was impelled by q spirit Of true
patriotism.
AS the representative of his
firm. he was diligent and ener.
getic and was in their employ for
o 'er 20 years, and up to the time
OF his death holding the conf
d .nce of his superiors for his
eff :iency and answering fidelity
to duty.
Mr.. Williams never married.
H. leaves three brothers, two
sisters and a step-mother, the
latter holding him in that af-
fectionate regard as if he was
her own son. He was devoted
to every interest of his family
and was happiest when he was
doing something that might add
to their happiness and welfare.
His estate, accumu a tie d
through 20 years of hard service
and economy. inures to the bene
fit of his sisters.
