1- Dog Owners Throng To Clerk's Office Jackson county dog owners were rushing the county clerk's office Thursday and again Friday until closing time, many with late thoughts of Fido, who had to be licen sed by 5 p.m. Friday or pay a penalty. Thursday's dog license busi ness topped $1,273 and short ly before S p.m. Friday more than 300 licenses had been sold for the day. The money had not been counted. Since the licenses were still $2 and S3, (S2 for males and $3 for females) the take was at least $600. The applications mailed in had not been processed so the total would run far beyond the $1,800 represented in over - the counter sales.
