Volume 28,
Deer For Wilkinson
To the People of Wilkinson County:
I am addressing this letter to all of
the people of this county, bu». especi
ally to the sportsmen.
A few months ago I began to work
on the idea of restocking the counties
in the Okmulgee Circuit, with deer.
There are eight counties in the Oc
mulgee Judicial Circuit, and six of
them lie along the Oconee river. The
Oconee swamp, and thousands of
acres near the river will make splen
did place for deer. I have secured
the passage of laws in these counties
protecting the deer for 8 years after
they are turned loose.
Mr Peter S Twittv wrote me on
Nov. 29, that he had contracted for
at least 10 deer and would deliver
them to me during December, and
would do his very best to get 10 more.
These deer cost the Game and 1* ish
Department about. S-'O 00 apiece to
deliver them to me, They are very
hard to get. The Game and I' ish
Department will deliver them without
cost, and then it is up to us to-do the
rest. It is going to be necessary fur
us to build an inclosure about 15 feet
high and about 2 acres in extent, at
the place where these deer wtll be
turned loose. Then we must keep
them about 6 months, or until they
drop their young, so they will stay.
As they increase they will spread
over a larger territory and it is esti
mated that one deer will range over a
territory of aboot 25 miles.
I propose to put these deer at a
point as near the line of Baldwin and
Wilkinson counties as lean get them
This place has not vet been selected
and I would like to hear suggestions.
However, it does n't nat< r where
we put them because they will soon
spread as they increase, and I have
figured it out that if we turn loose 14
female deer, and they proceed as
usual, we will have over 6,000 deer
in 8 years.
We are going to need some money
to take care of these deer 6 months,
and to build the inclosure. 1 know
of no way to get this rmnf-y except
to ask the sportsmen of this county
and the citizens who are interested in
preserving and restobking our forests
and streams with wild life to make
contribution to the cause. lam ex
pecting these deer to be delivered by
Dec. 20, and am asking that when
you read this letter in your paper you
immediately mail me check for all
you can spare. If I collect more
than enough, the balance will be used
to buy other deer to be liberated as
above stated. This appeal is being
made to the other counties.
This is your proposition. I have
taken charge of it without compensa-

of us untold satisfaction and pleasure

FULL
MEASURE
NO LEGISLATION can entirely
take the place of “ old-fashioned ”
standards of honesty. “Full measure
is more a matter of character than of
law. Our pound has always been
