BOWERS.

After having kept It secret for nearly
two years, announcement Is now made
of the wedding Of Miss T. Maud Sawyer
and William D. Short. OF Bowers They
were married by Rev. NJ Jones. OF
Maryland. at that time.
As yet, only few Of our sportsmen
have availed themselves Of the privilege
Of hunting for game since the open sea-
son has been in order, owing to the fact
that they have been doing their farm
work. Il is almost out OF the question
10 secure any labor to assist them in
this work, hence they must stick close
to II themselves in order to finish up be-
fore the winter weather sets in. Those
who have ayailed themselves Of the time
and privilege. report that game OF all
kind is scarce. This is not 20 be Won
dered at, when we consider the number
Of dogs Of all kinds which are allowed
10 roam all over the section where the
game is suppose TO raise. These roam
ing dogs destroy young rabbits, musk
rats and partridges at will during the
summer. and at a time when the young
game is unable TO take care Of itself by
seeking shelter in which they might
evade the ravages Of these worthless
ours. II is strange, yet nevertheless
true, that many Of the gunners around
Bowers, and perhaps the same is true
In other sections, are the ones who keep
the most Of these dogs. and they allow
them to roam the fields and woods,
where they destroy the game The gum
ners then complain about the scarcity
Of game. and say many harsh things
about the game association. The game
association would do we'll when the next
legislature meets, 10 so amend the game
laws Of this state if they want the game
protected. and have these worthless
dogs put out OF commission or kept con-
fined; otherwise, they should make the
owners or harborers suffer for their raw
ages.
Willis Johnson. who during the ex-
cursion, or hook and line season, cater
TO the wants Of those who indulge in the
