IN THELOCAL MARKETS
CONJECTURE REGARDING PRICE
OF TURKEYS CHRISTMAS.

Now that the Thanksgiving holiday is a
thing of the past and the Christmas sea-
son is only little more than two weeks
giving the question of purchasing Christ
mas supplies considerable thought
Are turkeys going to be high?'' is being
asked.
Dealers say they are unable to answer
the question. and the consumers are re-
calling. the drop in the prices at the Thanks
giving season. 1t is more than likely that
many Of the consumers will not give their or
ders for the fowls so far in advance Of the
of the farmers are already talking about
the prospective shortage of the fowls, but
those who have had experience in such
statements are always made. 1t is thought
that the cry raised by the farmers and
some of the dealers prior to Thanksgiving
caused some of the patrons of the market
dealers to pay advanced prices.
Every turkey this side of the Rocky
mountains has been killed." was the state
ment made the day after Thanksgiving,
land turkeys will be 40 cents a pound at
Christmas"
IF all of them this side of the mountain
were killed. a dealer remarked yester-
day, there must be plenty of them on the
other side of the mountain, for We have
had no trouble getting what We wanted to
supply the demand since last week"
Turkeys were quoted at 20 cents pound
advance in the price before Christmas and
that they will sell at about % cents for
the dressed and % cents for the drawn
fowls.

7 T Is a noteworthy fact that no col-
ored man sits IN Congress at the
present time; and It Is also note
worthy that no colored man from q
northern state ever did sit In Congress.
The first colored man elected to Con-
gress was j. Willis Menard of Louis
lana. He was born In Illinois educated
at iberia college, had acted as hospital
steward and recruiting officer for the
government during the war, and was
sent on a special mission to Honduras.
In whatever Office he served he won the
confidence OF his superiors, He had
great influence over his own people, and
was noted as public speaker. No
negro was ever worthier of seat In
Congress but Menard was never al
lowed to serve In the office to which he
had been chosen, being barred out Ivy
alleged Irregularities In his election
His failure, however. and the criticism
1t evoked. paved the way for the en-
trance of the black man into public iifa.
