there a very small volume of buying

The foreign markets reflected the progress

MISSISSIPPI NEWS MATTERS
A Brief Chronicle Of the Important Happenings
Exhibit Of Poultry and Pet Stock.

The poultry industry is on a grea.
boom in the South, and the most sur
prising fact demonstrated by the poul-
try exhibit at the st. Louis Exhibi-
ton is that the South produces rs
fine birds as the North. A Texas
breeder sold one of his st. Louis win
ners to a Northern breeder for 5000,
and $50 to 500 chickens are some
what common. In Monroe county can
be found number Of fine poultry
breeders, whose yards show some CT
the finest specimens Of the different
varieties. These breeders have been
banded together for number Of years
for the purpose of promoting the cul-
ture of pure-bred poultry. The as
ISOLATION thus formed, in holding an
nual exhibits, seeks no profit other
than improving the poultry industry.
The Mississippi Poultry and Pet
Stock Association has perfected ar
rangements for its annual exhibition
of thoroughbred poultry at Aberdeen.
The exhibit promises twice as large
as any previous exhibit, and the asso-
citation is prepared to take care of
LOCO fowls. Loring Brown, of Smyr-
ma, Ca, one Of the most noted judges
In the South, will place the ribbons
The competition will be close and the
winners will have cause to be proud
OF their birds. The members of the
association have contributed literally
and the merchants of Aberdeen have
very generously assisted in raising
money to defray the expenses Of the
exhibit.
The premiums are open to the COM
petition Of the world, and the payment
Of all premiums is guaranteed. Elk
hibits have been promised from all
parts of the South. This is the only
poultry association in Mississippi, and
well merits the encouragement and
patronage of all poultry rasers.

Independent Of Grand Jury Inves-
tigation.

New York. Interest in the social
ed Dodge-Morse tangle increased when
it was announced that Mrs. William
b. Gelshenen, widow OF banker, and

this announcement came a statement
from her attorneys, among them Jas.

ter followed one from District At

that counsel for Mrs. Gelshenen "can-
not deny that my letter to Mrs Gels
henen was in his hands before she
sailed for Europe" This letter is the
one to Mrs. Gelshenen, notifying her
that failure to comply with a sub
poena for her appearance would re-
suit in the publication of her name as
one of the witnesses wanted.
The District Attorney is also
quoted as saying that the "so-called
DodgeMorse case is live wire; that
several members Of the legal fraterni-
ty in New York have been picked up
with the livewire, and have been short.
circuited, and that the voltage is very
high and the amperage sufficient c
make any one dance who may handle
it."
Another interesting development In
the case was the appearance of w. Il
Gelshenen. son Of Mrs. W. B. Gel
shenen, before the grand jury. Thet
purport of his testimony was not made
public. 1t is understood, however
that he told Of his mothers appear
ance for Europe several days ago.

ing Chicago will make application to
Judge Kohlsaat January II for a
permanent injunction restraining all
ticket brokers from dealing in any
form Of non-transferable tickets
Should a writ be issued against them

writ against the scalpers at the time
but it is said all will join in the
movement for permanent order.
