The Spring Wolf Crop.

Jasper county is investing; lots of money in wolf scalps now days, especially the little ones. The bounty on young wolves is $3 and on old ones $7. They come high but we must have them. April 11th., Porter Williamson, from Walker tp., brought in the scalps of one old she wolf and her six cuts. April 19th, John Burger, also from Walker, six cubs. Last Monday, April 22, Richard Campbell, of Union, 7 cubs. Same day, Benj. Turner, from Gillam, one old wolf. Tuesday, Apr. 23, B. R. Faris, also from Gillam, 1 old she wolf and 8 cubs. These last were killed Saturday, by Mr. Faris’ sons, having been “pointed” by their bird dog. The total us the above is 27 young wolves and 3 old ones, making $lO2 paid out for wolf scalps since AprillOih. But it is money well invested. i
