! Poultry and Pet stock E.hibition,

The second annual exhibibit of tho
Anderson County Poultry and Pet Stock
Association opened yesterday in the Bell
store-room, and will continue through
to-day and tomorrow. The Association
had determined to make it success, and
they have not been disappointed. When
we entered tho exhibition this morning
we were amazed, and could have spent
several hours viewing the beautiful col
lection of fowls, pigeons, etc. There are
over 500 fowls on exhibition, COM
prising all the different breeds how being
raised in the South. Our limited time
enabled US only 10 note few Of The pref
stiest fowls.

his Black Langshan and Black Min0rcas
attract great deal of attention.

hibits as those we have mentioned, but
our limited space forbids mention.
We advise those who have not yet vis-
tied the exhibition to do 80 at once. The
ladies, especially, will enjoy 1t. The AS
soeiation has had considerable expense
in arranging for the exhibition, and
charge the small sum of ten cents for ad-
mission to help defray the expenses.

We had the pleasure OF attending
Church at Pisgah, where we met our for
mer teacher. Mrs. Nettie Burdine. She
used to teach the Tuckerville school, and
it is with the fondest memories that we
look back and see her untiring efforts in
trying to train our illiterate mind 80 1t
would expand and grow to something
useful. We now realize and appreciate
her unfagging determination to make us
grow up to become useful citizens. It
always makes us glad to meet any one Of
our old teachers, for we can't never know
how much we owe to them. We are
proud to say that we we're once q pupil
of 30 excellent lady. We wish that
there wera more as good teachers as Mrs.
Burdine was.
The girls have organized riding club,
and there are some good equestrians
among them. We are proud to say that
the girls have taken this step, for some
good will result. It means better fig
ures, roster cheeks and brighter eyes.

they've got it bad, and we hope they
