Quite a number of poultry grow
ers and citizens met at the City
Hall at two o’clock Monday af-
ternoon for the purpose- of out-
ling a plan for holding a poul-
try show this fall. Every man
present was enthusiastically in
favor of pulling off the show, and
expre ssed their willingness to co- “
operate by subscribing to the sub-
scription 1st.
Of course it will require con-
siderable cash to hold this show,
as coops and everything neces-
sary for the holding of the show
have to be pure-based . It is esti-
mated that it will require as least
$200 to buy the coops. This is the
first expense, and is the greatest.
This expense will not be in the
wav next year as th coons pro-”
perly taken care of will last for
a long time. In order to get the
necessary funds -John Thurman
and Oscar Pearson were appoint-
.....I as a finance committee to go
out and get th money. This is a
small item when pro rated out
among the citizens and business
men of the town and we predict
that the money will be forth com-
ing when the committee makes
the round.
Thursday and Friday, Decem-
ber 11 and 12 were selected as
the dates for the show. This will
give the committee time to get”
everything ready and make- up the
premium list and advertise the
show. It was decided to make the
show a free for all .and neighbor-
ing counties will be invited to
send in their chickens. This will
make the show more attractive by
bringing together a better and big
ger collect ion of poultry. Of course
the usual entrance* fee will be
charged, but this will be a small
item to the exhibitor.
As the proposition is now on,
foot it is up to every citizen to
fall in line, co-operate- with the
committee in working out the de-
