Pine Iron Work: The gunning season is drawing nigh. In former years, gunning was permitted by nearly all the farmers in this vicinity. Unfortunately, too many of the hunters did not respect the property holders for allowing them the privilege of hunting on their properties. They too frequently followed the game close to the barn and in some instances even entered the yards after partridges. Fences were left open and stone fences torn down, in trying to dig out rabbits. Chickens and turkeys were also often shot. The following farmers say they have determined to prosecute any person detected hunting on their property: Mahlon H. FOCHT estate, Henry MAUGER, Adam HECKMAN, Mahlon EGOLF, John YOCUM, Jim HARTMAN, tenant on the farm formerly owned by Aug. LEVENGOOD, Jere.
