About the only thing possessing an air of calm indifference around the exhibit of the Alabama Poultry, Pigeon and Pet Stock Association is the lot of Belgian hares and pet rabbits Throughout all the babel of sounds of the famous chanti- cleers. who seem to have the one and only idea that it is their purpose and duty to .'spiel' with all the confidence and eclat of the most sanguine midway spiel er." these bunnies remain calm, cool and collected, and evidently to make up for their inability to ''toot their own horn" the managers have, with much forethought and consideration, placed them in the most conspicuous place.
 The exhibition this year Is unusually good, especially the class of Silver Wyan- dottes and Light Brahmas. which are said to be the finest fowls ever exhibited in the state. The entries of Barred Ply mouth Rock are very numerous, tnis probably being the largest exhibit of It's class to be seen there. Among the largest exhibitors are Ali Bentley of Atlanta, Tom Dolan, Birmingham, and the Te- 
 cumseh Chicken Roost.
 F. J. Marshall, who will judge the ex- hibit. of Georgia, arrived Tuesday night and work of judging commenced yester- day. So far the Barred Plymouth Rocks have been passed on. The managers had expected to finish the awards by Thurs day night, but owing to the large num- Der of entries 1t will be impossible to fin- ish before Friday. The exhibition will close Saturday night.
 Below is a list of the prize winners yes- terday.

ANNISTON.
Burglars Secure Ten Dollars, But Fall to Get Several Hundred.

Anniston. December 1S.-(Special )-The store of Boozer & Co.,, and the local freight office of the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad were entered by burglars yesterday morning and an attempt made to enter a large clothing store in Noble street Ten dollars in cash and large quantity of dry goods were taken from the store of Boozer & Go.
 The store was entered through a back door after a board had been knocked off of a brokenout light. At the Louis- vile and Nashville freight office the de- termined attempt was made to enter the large safe, both the knobs being wrench ed of, and an attempt made to file an opening in the door. It is supposed the burglars were frightened away before the job could be finished.
 The burglary was discovered yester- day morning when Will John went to wrecked by the burglars. Mir. John had great difficulty in opening 1t.
 It is supposed the burglars hid in the warehouse during the day. and went into the office after the closing hour. None of the doors to the office had been broken open. The safe contained sever al hundred dollars, and had the burglars succeeded in making the entry, they would have made a good haul.
 Petitions were sent to Governor Jelks on yesterday asking for the appointment of L. w. Grant of this city, Frank Shuford of Oxford. and R. R. Toalin of Piedmont as registrars for Calhoun County. The petitions contained the names of many influential people of the county. The applicants are excellent gentlemen, and would make good of ficers. Their appointment is expected.

The flames were extinguish- ed, but not until most of her clothing had been burned from her. She received several burns on her body. but the wounds will not necessarily prove very serious. fes
