ger. The convention called to order by rooster
Low, who elected Chairman, and to state the OBJ
ject of meeting Rooster Low arose, and with great
sOlemnity pictured on his cOuntenance, stated that
this call of the domestic fowls, to take in
sderation the best to adopt to lessen the
destruction and fatality of our Kind stay in
this world is but short, at most, and it would be
well to migrate to some congenia cline, where
emigration and civilization will not reach us. Roos-
ter McCrum made motion that the Chair appoint
committee of five male fowls to draft resolutions I'M
mediately, and report. Motion carried, and the
Chair appointed on that committee ROSTERS Price,
Franklin, Leak, Brenner and Shanks there being
one of each church. The committee retired under
the shade of tree and in few minutes reported
the following; but before the report read, See
rotary and Treasurer were appointed, rooster Frck
being appointed secretary, and rooster Forman
treasurer Secretary was permitted to read the
buttons: Whereas We, peaeeable, harmless fowls
of the earth, have been most cruelty tortured and
abused, the lives taken from children regardless
of age, sex, condition, by the ruthless hand of
man and whereas, We have, in all our endeavors,
tried, with hens to lay sufficient eggs to supply
the demand for mans consumption which u
great sacrifice to us and progeny, and had ten
dency to lessen our population; and further, We
of the chicken fowl kind, have passed through the
gaps while young and also cholera, and at this
crisis, and after have destroyed all the potato
bugs grasshoppers, and every fell destroyer to bc

adopted. Rooster Franklin said, time is short
and tomorrow being Sunday, there is a certainty
that some Of heads would be decaptated, he
made motion that they all 60 up Pole-cat Hollow.
The objections raised by rooster Floyd that the
fumes of that hollow sufficient to produce death,
and they might well be eaten by preachers Roos-
ter Vineyard proposed that they all migrate to Geary
City, but few ministers visited that place.
The objection raised by rooster Frick, that he
had, for n long time lived in that place. and the con-
sumption of the fowl kind fearful The Objec-
ton sustained when rooster Shanks arose, with
great solemnty, and proposed that, he had raised
large family, and felt great deal Of security in
Weasel Hollow, that he thought it safe; but there
being too much risk in having, perhaps in nights
time, the ugular vein cut and the last drop Of blood
drawn from their babies. Roost Bremen took the
stand. Being Of the Cook and Bremen family, he
felt some little security in this calamity but at the
time sympathzed with his fellow fowls. He
stated that he had felt, for time that measures
ought to he taken; admitting that he had large
family of hens and pulets, thought best to do some
thing, and proposed that they all go to Goose Hollow
as time getting short. Rooster McCrum stated

and crippled, he would start; when they all, with
one voice, crowed Goose Hollow, Goose Hollow.
