FOR POULTRY SHOW.
In CorvaiIis-It is to be on a big Scale
The Plan.

It is proposed to have a poultry
show of surprising proportions IN
Corvallis. The date is to be months
and months in the future, but the
movement is already begun. The
greatest scorer on the coast has been
secured, and this assets alone Is
expected to draw exhibits galore.
The reason it will draw is that
poultry fanciers are anxious to have
their birds pass under the eye of
famous scorers in order to them
selves learn what are the most sue
cessful points, so they can subse-
quently breed to suit.
The plan has been discussed for
some time. It took shape in a
meeting held Wednesday evening
at which nearly all the fanciers in
town were present, F. L. Miller
presided, and Otto F. L. Herse was
secretaryi Conditions were canvas
sed, pro and con, and by unani-
nous vote it was determined tc
proceed with an organization fo1
the purpose of perfecting details
for the big show. The date was
fixed at December Sth 9th and 10th.
B. w. johnson w. G. Emery and
c. M. McKellips were appointed &
committee on constitution and by
laws and A. L. Knisley, DR.. Lester
and Gene Simpson were named as
a committee on canvassing for
membership. Another meeting i:
to be held in two weeks. c. G.

large and appreciative audience last
evening at the second recital by Mr..
Elmore Rice at Hotel Superior.
The different numbers were render
ed with Mr.. Rice's usual skill. The
weird music of the Peer Gynt Suite
was especially well received by the
audience. Mr.. Rice's playing was
delight to all who attended. He
has complete mastery of the instru-
ment, displays good technique and
plays with much feeling and expires,

If present indications are to be
relied upon the coming virtuoso of
America may perhaps be found in
the person of the young violinist,
Elmore Rice, who has attached such
wide spread attention amongst crit
les and musical circles during the
past two years. His style is matur-
ing rapidly, his tone more broad
and firm, his attacted more accurate
and his technique better than when
we last heard him. He certainly
possesses to marked degree an ar
tistic temperament. His repertoire
IS excellent and includes compost
tlons of Mendelssohn, Beethoven,
Schubert, Remenyi, Musin, Wienia.
wski, Paganini, and others. We
predict remarkable career for this
young artist. Musical Revew

THE BULLET HOLE.
In osburn's Collar Turner Sentenced
to so Days-Things People say.

r.
Though it is now history. there
is still much talk about town of the
terrible drama of last Sunday morn
ing. The two funerals. the incar-
ceration of young Turner. and the
slow recovery of Officer Osburn,
have been incidents of the passing
week. A strong effort was made
by the officers to implicate Turner
as an accessory in the shooting of
the officers, but so far it has been
barren OF result. More than a
score Of witnesses were put through
a searching examination, but the
evidence was not secured that war
ranted the charge duplicating the
defendant. and the case on that
account is continued for the pres
ent.
Turner, however, is serving out
a so days sentence in the county Jail
for carrying concealed weapon.
and is in addition to pay fine of
$40 He was charged with the of
Tense in Justice Holgate's court
Thursday morning, and pleaded
guilty
A relic of the shooting that at
tracted considerable attention while
it was to be seen about town, was
the collar worn by Officer Osburn
at the time he was shot. 1t is a
stiff linen affair, and two inches to
the left of where it buttons, and
perhaps quarter an inch below
the top of it, is the bullet hole. A
few spots of powder burn are to be
seen on the shiny surface near the
bullet mark. The shape of the
hole throws little light on the
course taken by the bullet. In
cidentally, there is a general beliel
that the collar, in all human pro-
liability saved the officers life. Be,
ling very stiff, it unquestionably
did much to break the force of the
bullet, and in fact may have slight
ly diverted the bullet so that vita.
organs like the jugular vein in the
neck were missed. The relic ha:
been taken to the home of Mr.
Osburn.
| Incidental to the shooting, many
opinions are advanced, and much
advice is given, but out of it al
stands one universally admitted
fact that the course pursued by the
officers is marked by great discre
tion, by wise action and by com
plete disregard Of personal danger

The Howard Lake, MINI Herald
says: The Elmore Rice concert in
City Hall Monday evening, under
the auspices Of the W. R. c., had
a much larger attendance than could
have been expected at this season.
Mr.. Rice is highly accomplished
violinist, and his ease, grace and
expression with which he renders
the most difficult classical music is
truly wonderful. The audience re-
ceived him enthusiastically and he
cheerfully responded to the encores.

Page, II Young lady who was born

Miss. She is the daughter Of Mr..
JAS +. Page and is a sister of Mr..
Robert s. Page, an attache of the
Commercial Appeal, who is well
known 10 most of our RAIDERS in
Lee county. At All early age Miss
Page developed extraordinary tai

years of amateur work in decora.
ting china etc. pursued a course of
study at the celebrated School of
Design at Cincinnati under the
best teachers of the country. Her
progress as a pupil was phenome-

into the front rank of specialists
in this work. She opened a studio
at Memphis in which she enlarged
the scope of her labors and met
with remarkable success. She
rapidly rose in celebrity and popu-
larity aud attracted patronage
from wealthy aud critical admirers
of this fine art. The Commercial
Appeal saw her proficiency and
placing her at the head of this
branch of it's service introduced
her into national notice In this
position she is achieving still
broader success and is receiving
merited plaudits from the public.
Her subjects thus far have been
appropriately chosen while her
execution aud presentation of them

Too Much totton.

From our exchanges We CLEAN
the information that the farmers
of many localities r ploughing
up waste lands in large areas to
plant in cotton this spring. The
high price that has prevailed for
the past two seasons and the pros
poet of its continuance seems to be
stimulating them to greater efforts
to make more cotton than ever and
they ire straining themselves in.
trying to do so. We fear that this
unwise course will have a disas;
trous effect upon the country and
feel that it is II duty to utter a
word of caution to our farmer
readers on this subject.
The present high prices of cot
ton were caused by the failure Of
the Sonth TO make large crops
during the past two years. If the
response in yield had been the
equivalent of the producers efforts
to make large crops the high prices
would not have prevailed. The
crop of last year lowered around
the ten mi lion bale notch and it
is now apparent that the present
crop will not excel that figure.
Any crop under that figure will
insure a price exceeding ten cents.
A crop over that figure will cause
a drop in price out of proportion
to the excess in production. 1t is
then clearly established that it is
to the producers interest to hold
the crop below instead OF above
the ten million bale limit. By do
lug this he makes cotton with less
labor and expense and gets more
for it than if he strained every
nerve and made the larger crop.
All of our farmers are now in
pretty easy situation. There are
but few of them who are not clear
of debt. They are hopeful and
cheerful and independent. They
can keep in this satisfactory condi-
ton if they do not become greedy
and OvertaX themselves. Let the
oil sedge fields stand for pastures
and grow fat cattle and sneep and
hogs. Raise more corn and hay,
more potatoes, more sorghum and
more vegetables. improve your
houses. Add a room or two to
them and adorn and beautlfy them.
Work with more system aud get
better implements. Send tbs chill
drrn to school and buy the girls
AN organ or a piano. Fix up your
places and help IN the roads. Be
wise and make ten cent cotton in.
stead of seven cent cpttOn. This
ii be done if thu farmers don't
get too greedy and overtax their
capacity IN trying TO raise too
much cotton.

1npelo as a Banking City.

With it's present greatly enlarg-
ed banking facilities the city Of
Tupelo has forged its way for
ward until it has become the lead
ing banking center Of north Mis-
sissippi. The Bank of Tnpelo has
doubled up its capital and has thus
enlarged Its operations. 1t is now
the only bank of one hundred
thousand dollars capital all paid
in in north Mississippi. The first
National Bank has steadily grown
in favor and business and now
stands the equal of any OF it's COM
petitors in solid reputation and
reliabilities. The new candidate
for business, the Peoples Bank
aud Trust Company is opened up
with its capital stock of sixty
thousand dollars paid in and with
the promise of a fine business.
Taken together these institutions
place Tupelo ahead Of all her neigh
bors as a banking center. The
banks of a city form a register of
its general business which is as
correct as the thermometer is as
a register of temperature. The
banks of Tupelo have been liberal
in the treatment of their custO-
mers and while banks have null
tiplied in the country contiguous
to us their business has constantly
and steadily grown until their
statements are phenomenal. The
banks of a civy are also great pro
moters and producers of business.
They understand the force of the
quaint old adage that "money
makes the mare go' and they put
it to such uses as makes business
grow. Banks are entrusted with
the care Of the peoples money.
Without them the business of a
city, where large sums Of money
exist, would be restricted. They
take the peoples money and so use
it that business huns and every
body is benefited. They are
great institutions and in times of
need are a great help to the people.
We congratulate the city of
Trpelo upon it's new position as 3.
great banking center. We also
congratulate it on the prospect of
the gain in business and in other
ways that this means.

Mules.

We had an interview with Mr..
John McWhorter. of the Planters
Vile vicinity ,on The subj, ct of mule
raising AS one Of the profitable
branches of stock growing for our
comfy. Mr.. Nc Whorter has had
large experience in this business
and considers it one of the most
profitable of the many ways in
which the farmer "a make money.
He has found that a mnle colt can
be grown to maturity at a nomi
mel cost, and that, in our comfy,
it may be said, the value of the
mule, when grown, may be con-
sid red as profit. AT a year old the
colt can readily be sold for fifty
dollars while at two years old it
will bring n hundred dollars,
which gives fifty dollars per an
mum to the farmer for the little
trouble aud expense of raising it.
We have seen during the past
year many fine mnles that were
home raised. The greater part of
these were grown in the eastern
part of the county by white farm
r The interest in this subject
is growing and we hope to see it
grow until every farmer in the
county will have a fine young rule
for sale every year. TO raise a
mule does not interfere with the
farmers operations in the least. A
good mare will bring a colt every
year and lose no time from work.
When it is six months old it can
be turned loose to make it's own
which it can easily do by
grazing and browsing. The de-
mand for mules is steadily increas-
ing every year. They have reach
ed ante. bellum prices and there is
no prospect of a drop from these
figures soon.
Mr.. Nc Whorter is proving his
faith by his works and is now
prepared to help along the good
work. He has advertised for sale
a number of fine young jacks which
are equal in pedigree and quality
to the very best of kentucky rails
ed animals. rhe mule has made
Kentucky and Mississippi rich and
famous and we don't see why it
couldn't be made to. do the same
for Lee county. =
