MANY LICENSES SOLD.
Hunters of Terrell County Preparing
For Game Season.

Game Warden Eli Hill reports that
At state and "a county hunting Ii
censes were sold in Terrell county
during the month of October and
that the number of permits thus far
issued are already in excess of those
given for the whole of last season.

especially noticeable in view of the
fact that the great slaughter of these
birds in years past had thinned them
out almost to the point of extinction.
