lleppner Gazette: All over the coun

as ever, and yet our county has paid out
over 1800 for squirrel scalps this season.
The Gazette, )u the interest of those w ho
pay the taxes, will oppose the renewal

will not be pnt in force by our county

individuals who are interested in the
crops put their money into the work of
extermination. The present arrange

who are not directly interested, and lie

rently as fnft, if not faster, thun they
are being killed.
