Poor Hickory Nuts and Wolf Bounty Headline Mix
In this rural update, hickory nuts are expected to be poor this year as the breath dries the meat leaving shells hollow. Nashau township offers a $6 bounty per wolf head before March 1, 1914, with county bounty adds. Funeral notices, school attendance fines, and local farm notes follow along with brief community items and local political chatter.
