„ - (Contributed). The poultry show to be held in this city the first week in January Is going to be a grand success and while this is a fact let us give some etiquette that we have noticed in' the show room. How often we- have been in a show room and noticed a group of visitors < inspecting the birds. First they come to the Barred Rocks, carefully looking them-over, and one will exclaim: “First prize cock, eh? Why, my old -has him skinned a mile, but I don’t believe in showing my birds; Week in the stow room knocks ’em all out.” 1 . The saunter along and pretty soon they come to White Wyandottes and looking at them from the aisle * ’ drib will say, “I’ve got hens that would beat this lot all to pieces, but you’ve «ot to wash ’em and they catch eold, and time they get home from the show theyare no good;, so I’ve never shown any.\ The next halt is made when they reach the Brown Leghorns and one of theparty, being an admirer of this variety, proceeds to give views on the subject: “Why don’t they get some decent stock? I wouldn’t have such stock on my place; the poorest pullet in my flock would beat this first prize birdX and I’ve some dandy cockerels but they are such scary things, they are pretty sure to get the roup and be all lousy when they get home, and in fact. I don’t like to show them.” \ Other visitors hearing them discuss and not being experienced, get theidea that It is injurious to fowls to show them, but when you hear people talk in this manner, you can make up your mind' that they are talking “hot air,” and just bluffing, Or they have been breeding poultry for about six months and' do not know what they are talking about And, dear reader, if you are a beginner and think you have good stock, show them and find out just how good they are. , ‘ It is not Injurious to the fowls to show them if a little common -sense & used and the thing is not overdone, but on the other hand it often proves a benefit to them. . < In examining the birds individually as is necessary in preparing them for the show, we often discover many serious breeding defects, Injuries, sometimes of disease, etc., which would not ordinarily be noticed. As to the confinement of the show room hurting them is a sad mistake. If properly shown two or three shows during a season will not hurt a bird, but not more than two shows should follow another without at least a week’s rest between, and sometimes I think a few Ti hat the jmbkc sag about our TeastfCoJfses is all the’ advertising we want, Evenj fomllv. using our Coffeecomea - back for more, and tell to aeiahoors about it as well?

shows are really a benefit to a bird. All things considered, if one has the birds, he should by-all means show them and at the same time show himself and get acquainted with the best class of fellows on the face of the earth. Don’t get the idea that you will not get a square deal, or that you must be in the “ring" in order,to win. The proportion of dishonest judges is no small that it is not worth considering, and don't let Anybody tell you that the older exhibitors will not use you well, or that it takes a long time and lots of big winning to get Into the “Brotherhood of Fanciers.” Show yourself to be a true fancier and you will find yourself in the charmed circle before you hardly know it and by a true fancier, I mean one'who shows his stock and does not keep it at home and then tell everyone how he could have won,'if he only wanted to take the trouble to fit them. . Be a cheerful loser and resolve to have better birds next 'year. Do not find fault with the other fellow’s Stock and shout about him being tea deal with the judge, etc. „ You only make a fool of yourself by so doing. " If Jeu show and lose, and cannot see the reason for it, do not get the idea that the judge does not know his business and proceed to berate him and everybody else and make a display of your knowledge (?) of the breed (and thereby show your ignorance(. Ask the judge or some exhibitor and they will point out where your birds are defective and often tell how to remedy the defect If you happen to win, do not make yourself obnoxious by ridiculing your competitors, or by blowing so hard about it to the other exhibitors, as to disgust them. The old timers ark always glad to see a new exhibitor wim but .because you win, do not tell everybody how much you know about • breeding and handling your variety of poultry, for some of them may know about you buying your stock jpst for the purpose of making a winning; - or, if yob have bred them, it may be just “luek”and next year you show up with a big string expecting to take all the prizes and you get a fifth. So let us not say uncomplimentary things about more enterprising and successful breeders than we are ourselves. A FANCIER. — ...■■■■■— . ■ » — The many friends of Miss Bessie Pearl Kimsey of Portland, for . four years a stenographer for the Ward Fence company, will be pleased to hear of her' marriage to James Edwin Leonard of Gas City, which took place last Thursday evening at the Methodist parsonage at Portland,- Rev. Loren M. Edwards officiating. The witnesses .to the ceremony were the bride’s brother. Forest Kimsey, and Miss Nora Millett, whose wedding will occur in a few days. Immediately after the wedding Mr. and Mrs. Leonard left for Gas City, where they will be at home at 430 East Main street. The groom is a well known young man of that city, being tbe present postmaster. The bride, who is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Kimsey, was a graduate of the Portland high school with the class of 1903, and later attended the Marlon Normal school. For the past four years she has served as one of the most efficient stenographers for the Ward Fence company, and came with them to this city where she worked until several months ago, when she resigned to prepare for the coming wedding. She is well known to the younger set of this city, who will unite in wishing her all the joy that the future can hold. ,p Dr. J. S. Cloverdale is in receipt of a letter from his son, Clark, who is operating a shingle mill at Marion, Arkansas, in which an interesting story is told concerning an employee. . Since living at Marion Clark has had a handy man, named Charley Brown, a negro, who did all sorts of jobs for him, working at the mill, when it was running and about the farm when not otherwise engaged. He was a good worker and Dr. Coverdale says that he thought that if there ever was a negro who could be trusted it was

As he laid the drawer on the counter to pick out the money, the negro who had come prepared for the job struck him over the head with a heavy iron bar, crushing the old man's skull and inflicting fatal injuries. The murderer grabbed the money and run. The sheriff was soon notified and securing the assistance of Mr. Coverdale, they went after Charley, who was arrested and taken to jaff after a hard battle. in which it was feared they would have to kill him to save their own lives. Clark says that the faithful old negro will be hung, as there is no chance for a colored man who assails a white in that section. Hangings are frequent in that country, and Dr. Coverdale, on one of his trips there, witnessed the execution of two negroes in one day. The hangings occur in the court house yard. 1 — Abraham Brown vs Ffed Schafer et I al., breach of warrant; appearance by C. J. Lutz for defendant. Rule to answer. . - .. - I - I Frederick E.
