WHEN SALLY SANG FOR ME.

When Sally sang her songs for me, In days
when we were young,
The sun and stars about our path lovelier
glamor flung;
And was won't to smiling say, while look
ing in her eyes,
The melody was treacle, spilled from
realms of paradise.
And so the hours went gliding by, as
streamless as the sea,
When we were younger than today and
Sally sang for me.
I see the plain old parlor now, wherein
some afternoon
She warbled Maggie" with wet eyes,
then turned to Bonnie Doom"
And Molly Darling had its charms, and
rather seemed divine,
The while longed to have her put her
little hand in mine." q3a
All, we'll! old age should cease to dream.
but would like to see
Her face once more. as In our youth.

THE POULTRY EXHIBITION.
Hundreds of Pure-BlOOded Birds of
Every Variety.

The third annual exhibition of the
Lafayette County Poultry Association
was thrown open to the public in this
city last Tuesday morning, and will close
today. The entries included every known
breed of blooded chickens to be found in
this country, and no variety was forbid
den. Competition was open to the world,
though the exhibitors were mainly resi-
dents OF his county.
Judge Emery, of Carthage, a noted fam
cier, acted as scoring judge, and his decis-
ions were acceptable to all exhibitors.
Premium birds were required to score 80
points, and nd premium 81 points.
This was done to protect those who make
a business of raising only full blooded
fowls.
This county is noted for the extent and
Importance of its poultry interests, and
fanciers from other parts of the west have
long since made this discovery. They
have bought hundreds of pure-blooded
chickens OF our breeders, and many of
them came long distances to attend this
exhibition.
Among those who received premiums
on chickens were: Miss Fannie New
man, Geo. M. Catron, j. H. Eggleston,
Robert F. Norfolk, James Hays, James
Francis. E. F.. Meyers, Alex Brooks, Thos.
Harvey, w. IL. Greer, Rev. r. Ellerby,

d. List and r. s. Shelby, Odessa; Nc
Meekln & Son, B. f. Canterbury, Hig-
ginsvilIe; John Brady, Independence;
Mrs. Lydia Dyer, Hoffman; Mrs. Emma
Y. Foster, Borland.
The exhibition was attended by many
of our citizens who are not breeders of
chickens, and they were
astonished at what they saw. There were
varities which they had never
before seen, and many of them left orders
for one OIL more pairs of these rare and
beautiful game birds.
Besides chickens, there were on exhibi-
tion a great many pure-blooded turkeys
and ducks, which were greatly admired
by all who visited the hall.
MpMeekin q Son had the largest num-
Der and the greatest variety of birds on
and nearly all of them scored
Mrs. Emma Foster had the second
number, and nearly all of them
were of the most popular breeds, being
White Cochins, White Leghorns, Silver
Wyandottes, White and Barred
Rocks, Buff Cochins and Brown
.Leghorns.
1t was the largest display of pure-blood
ever made in this county, and was
4 credit to those who originated and man.
aged the exhibition. There were no less
han six hundred chickens, ducks and
on exhibition,
ALI those who attended were more than
with the exhibition, and many of
hem resolved to raise none but the best
purest breeds of chickens in the
