There were, in all, "a coops and we DO
not believe "a finer coops will be found in
any collection from any neighborhood IN
the United States. 1t is a marvel to the
unskilled to see, what beauty of form and
color and What size can be developed IN
chickens. Such an industry ought to be
encouraged in the young. II is source.
of great pleasure and can be made very
profitable.

It is a matter of sincere regret to all CIT
izens of Rock Hill that Mr.. James Lord
the superintendent of the Standard Cot

where. Mr.. Lold is popular with tne
stock holders, with the citizens, and with
the operatives. For the first, he has been
successful manager; for the second,
polite and patient guide for the latter,
a firm vet kind superintendent. The op-
eratives have presented to him hano-
some gold watch, with engraving snow
ino whence it came, as a mark of their
appreciation. MI,

berg brought to our city Mrs. Blumberg'

popular here. We are sure the kind feel
ING towards him will be doubled now.
