HEBNANDo, Mes September 25.-
Early on Monday morning casual
observer could see that something un.
usual was going on in our otherwise
quiet town. To the uninitiated il
might have appeared that it was
circus day but for the fact that go
many colts were on tie road. BY
about 10 o'clock fully 1000 men and
over 100 horse and mule colts, suck
lings, yearliDgs and two year olds were
assembled in and around the court
house yard to take part in the stock
exhibition and awarding OF prizes to
the colts sired by Mambrino George, a
stallion, and Knight Templar, a jack,
both owned by Joseph Goodman, an
enterprising farmer and granger near
the town. To make the occasion
more interesting and imposing Mr.,
Goodman invited all the owners OF
stations aud jacks and their progency
near this place to take part in the ex-
hibition, end by sending out circulars
and otherwise calling attention to it,
succeeded in making 1t grand sue
cess. Some OF the stock shown would
have done credit to an older stock conn
try than this from their blood
like appearance as we'll as ap-
parent good care, feeding and
grooming given them. There
were present two yearlings, one weigh
ing 942, the other $40 pounds, which
are certainly creditable weights, and
they ara no draft hois:s either. The
stations on exhibition ranged from
800 to 1860 pounds. Goodman also
drove around in his buggy, behind a
team OF one and two year old colts,
which drove splendidly together and
performed like old horses. Among the
stations in sight were Marcellus,
owned by r. NJ. Ban ks; one owned by
a Mr.. HiIdebrand, from near White
haven, Tenn. another by Martin s.
Thomas, from near Endora, Miss, and
several others OF younger ages.
We had a regular band of jacks,
performing their solos sometimes,
and such duets, terzetts and quar-
tettes rs only jacks can perform.
There were present Goodman's fine
FIVE year old jVck Knight Templary
r. M. Banks's King Alfonso, Messrs.
Dean & Cartrell's jack, Mr.. G. T.
7. Banks two year old, and Mr.. ALI
Dockery's young grey jack, bred, born
and raised in Dfsoto county. To add
q variety to the show Mr.. ]. w. Odam,
of Nesbit, Miss, exhibited his full
blood Devon bull, IS months old and
about 1000 pounds. HIS foe
color, apparent beef qualities and good
behavior elected universal praise and
admiration. Mr.. Goodman also ex-
hlbited his fine herd Of Jersey cattle,
which were much admired by good
judges. Messrs. Dean & Cartrell also
