Mississippi Ninlr0ds
= Capture a Wolf Brood

Forest, Miss, Feb, 15.-The chasing
of wolf brood through miles of South
Mississippi forests, and the capture Of
three of the youngsters, after an ex-
citing venture, is is being described |
today by Cliff Dustin and Sam Lovett,
two farmers who live seven miles
northwest of Forest.
While out hunting birds in the woods
near their homes, the Nimrods struck
a wolf trail. How they knew it was
wolf trail no one is able to find out,
but it was wolf trail, as succeeding
events will show. Possibly the way
they knew it was wolf trail is pro-
fessional secret. However, that Is
very immaterial point The out
standing fact fact is that it was wolf
trail. The gentlemen Immediately gave
up the bird hunt and devoted them
selves to the more exciting pastime
of wolf hunting.
They urged the unwilling dogs on
and on. Time passed. The slantins
rays of February sun began to pierce
the naked tree tops. AS if by magic
the frosty atmosphere was dispelled
and the cares of the men gave way
to the spirit of the chase. Old Sol as
cended in the heavens. Noon arrived
and over the hills came the faint tin
king of a dinner bell; but the hunters
gave no signs that they heard. Their
minds were on the trail before them
On and ever they sped, over hills
and dales, through the marshes and
over the ripping brooks, over faller
monarchs of the forest, and through
the briars and underbrush; and eve

questions which were coursing through |
the minds of these men when, just
as the sun was disappearing meath
the horizon, the dogs came to halt
and set up vociferous barking and
began governing excidedly around the
trunk of hollow giant oak which
lay on the ground.
"Hopes Went A-Soaring."
The hopes of the men went a-soaring.
Rushing up they cautiously recon-

protest of leading members of the
wolf pack at this desecration of their
sacred haunts by the presence of men

tucked their tales, silenced their voices
and stood trembling in abject fear,
looking up into the faces of their
masters in mute appeal for eXplana-
tion and protection. If they could
have talked they would probably have
emitted the old phrase, "Uh, huh; we
told you SOL" They doubtless would
also liked to have told their masters
: that this business was out of their line,
anyway. The knees of the men were
none too steady, but undaunted they

Although comparatively few knew
that the pike was open Sunday there
was an increase in the travel and sew

ed soon after being purchased
The delay in opening this turnpike
has been due to trouble in perfecting
the title. The stock company original
ly chartered had been permitted to
lapse through failure to hold regular
meetings and while Newt E. Vaughn,
who sold the pike to the county, own
ed the large majority of the stock OF
the pike, 1t was necessary to unravel
some legal complications. Assurance
es having been obtained by the county
attorney, Col. w. C. Whitthorne and
Judge Mcknight that these matters
would be adjusted, it was agreed that
the gates would be opened.
The pike owners will be paid in an
interest bearing warrant of the coun-
ty for $4,000. This will not. however,
be issued until the deeds and other

SEVERAL PROMINENT FARMERS
OF FIFTH DISTRICT WOULD
SERVE.
WANT AN ELECTION EARLY
Hope Is Expressed That There viii
Be No Delay So That the Agony
viii Be Over soon-McKibbon and
Hill to Run,

From present indications there will
be no lack of material from which to
select the justice of the peace in the
fifth district to succeed the late Ben
jamin Leroy Wilkes, who died this
week. Already several more or less
active candidates are in the field and
1t is believed that others are being
groomed One or two have, it is said
confessed to intimates, that they were
in the hands bf their friends"
1t seems practically certain that
among the candidates will be /. Hill
McKibbon, prominent farmer of Gull
leoka and the father of John Van Nc
Ribbon, the champion corn grower of
Tennessee. Mr.. McKibbon is a mem
Der of the advisory school board of
the district and while never active in
politics has strong following.
Another said to be certain entry is
Thos. F. Hill, of ~Stiversville, the prin-
cipal Of the school at that place and
also farmer. Mr., Hill is personally
very popular, is active-in church work
and is very progressive citizen. He
would unquestionably receive strong
support. -
Several citizens have urged that E.
j. Park, of the Culleoka Produce Co.,
consent to make the race, While he
is very busy man and has distinct
.distaste for politics, Mr.. Park is adj
mittedly well qualified for a member
of the court Intelligent, progressive,
having the courage Of his convictions,
absolutely honest, thoroughly indie
pendent possessing to an unusual de-
gree the confidence of the people of
his community, he would make valu
able addition to the court. However,
Mr. Park has discouraged the use of
his name and has no desire for politi-
cal preferment.
The hope is generally expressed
that the commissioners of election
will lose no time in ordering the cleo

Tax AGGREGATE Of
COUNTY SHOWS GOOD
INCREASE IN YEAR
MORE BY $oso,ooo THAN 1T WAS
FOR THE PAST TWELVE :
MONTHS.
COMPLETED BY COUNTY CLERK
Will Add About $3.50 to the Tax To.
tai to Be Collected Next Year-Four
Districts With Assessment of More
Than a Million Dollars.

Maury county's taxable wealth is
greater by approximately $3OO,O
this year than it was last. County
Court Clerk Lipscomb has just fin.
ished the tax aggregate for the sew
eral wards and districts of the coun.
ty and the aggregate of the whole is
$297,650 more than the aggregate for
1914. On this approximately $3.50
IN taxes will be collected during the
coming year. However, it would not
be proper to assume that all of this
represents a real increase in the tax
able values OF the county for such is
not the case. A portion of the gain
has been due to the assessment of
property that was not assessed last
year, but upon which, nevertheless
the trustee collected the taxes.
The total value of all the real and
personal property of the county, ex-
elusive of railroads, telegraphs and
telephones, assessed by the railroad
commission, is $12,109,425. This same
property for 1914 aggregated $11,S11,-
us, The total assessed personal
property of Maury county is $2,872,.
S75, The aggregate of the real prop
erty, farm lands and town lots, is
more than $9,9OO,000.
Of course the ninth district, includ-
ing Columbia, has the largest assess
ed valuation of any subdivision of the
county In the city, the first ward
leads all others with total of 81 ,057,-
900. The seventh or Mt. Pleasant
district comes next in value, although
it is not very far ahead of the sixth
district There are but four districts
in the county having more than $1,000
200 of assessed value, the Spring Hill
or third being the other The eighth
district IL not far from the million
dollar class
operations are the largest tax
payers and Of them the Maury Ma
tional Bank heads the list with to-
tai assessment of $220,000 Phos-
phate companies are hefty payers too,
the Federal Chemical Company con-
tributing $S5,50O. The aggregate as
sessment for abutting property taxes
on the Hebron road is 100000
The following is the assessment of
the personal property, and Of the to-
tai property of the several wards and
districts AZ the county:
