COBB COUNTY POULTRY SHOW.

The following clipping was taken from
The Southern Poultryman of Dallas,
| Texas:
Mr.. C. w. Fowler, assistant secretary
of the Cobb County Poultry Association
! writes under date of August 18th: "A
very enthusiastic meeting of the Cobb
County Association was held Aug. 18th.
The next show will be held Dec. 3. 6.
Several nice silver cups have already
been donated and there will be over a
hundred dollars on some varieties. D.
M. Owen will judge the poultry and
Geo. Ewald, of Cincinnati will judge
the pigeons. For premium list and en-
try blanks address John P. Cheney, Sec

prize at many Of the fairs for best ex.
hibit of farm products. She began do
ing that back in the days of my boy
hood and keeps it up to this blessed
day. Cobb is peopled by wonderfully
progressive people. They don't half do
anything and they are not going to be
turned down by any other poultry show
in Georgia. It will be good one, be
like everything of the kind that people
touches, the best.
This is Fowler's home county, which
means the best Buff Rock exhibit in
Marietta, Dec. 3-6, that will be seen in
America next show season. 1t is the
home county of Loring Brown and Bel
mont Farm. Fowler with his Buff
Rocks, Loring Brown with his Bantams,
White Leghorns, Pekin Ducks and
Scotch Terrier Dogs and Belmont Farm
with it's nine breeds of poultry. turkeys,
ducks, collies, Beagle hounds and pet
stock can alone make show worth 60
ing two hundred miles to see. They are
not the only breeders in the county by
great odds, but can make big show all
the same.
This is going to be one of Georgia's
best, if not the best show held by her
people. 1t is in Cobb County where
the best of everything grows"

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.

A movement has Deen started in the
public school this year which merits
the hearty support of every citizen.
For long time the school seems to
have stood merely in the relation of a
workshop to it's many pupils, place
where 80 many tedious hours must be
begrudgingly spent, an institution re-
ceiving neither love nor loyalty, whose
influence as a school is at it's greatest,
but temporary, and at its widest, con-
fined to the school grounds.
And this is not the fault of faculty
whose energies, owing to the over
crowded condition of our schools, are
entirely consumed by the merely me-
chanical performance of multitudinous
duties. If the students of school are
to approach their work with ardor, to
regard their instructors with love and
respect, to work for the best interests
of the school and to hold its influence
dear in after years, the school must
To meet this need, several plans are
on foot. For both boys and girls lit
erary societies have been organized
which have already met with hearty
reception. REGULATIONS, debating and
social features are included in the plans.
A public debate with some other school
and school paper are among the sug-
gested possibilities.
For the boys an athletic association
has been organized, and under its au-
| spices an exciting tennis tournament
has already been played. A football
team has been partially equipped and
is now in practice. 1t is planned to
have several games with other schools.
By the liberality of our progressive
school board. the grounds have been
extended and improved so that the
school is now in possession of fine,
though somewhat limited athletic field,
Here it is proposed by the Athletic As
ISOLATION to erect simple apparatus
for field and gymnasium sports. In
short, the school life is to be made to
approach as nearly to that of the best
schools as the interest and support OF
the citizens will allow,

mistakes are admitted. Money has been

Teams have disbanded and failed. But
a new dispensation has arrived. Every
cent of money contributed will be pub
licly accounted and applied to the pur-
poses outlined. Every piece of equip.

of the school, and will be used over and

WHY NOT

Twenty-three years ago man
of the name of Westmoreland was
sentenced to a three years term
in the North Carolina penitentia-
ry. He served a bit more than
two years, end then escaped.
From that time on he led an hon.
est and industrious life in Wins
ton, more than twenty years, and
in the meantime married wife
and became the father of several
children. His manner of living
gave every evidence that he was a
thoroughly reformed man, devoted
to his duties as husband, father
and citizen. Then came along
somebody who recognized him as
an escaped convict with still few
months of his sentence TO serve,
and be was arrested and sent back
to the penitentiary. The lnformer
doubtless thought he had done a
fine thing, especially as there is a
standing reward for the apprehen-
sion of escaped convicts. But
does it not seem that in cases of
this kind there should be consid-
Grafton for the poor fellow who
has tried to reform and who has
reformed? Down i'll the depths of
the heart of many a man who is
honest with himself there turks

mercy of God and the ignorance
of the grand jury, he would him.

then, not let the poor devil who
had fallen and been caught, but
who has lived decently afterwards,
have chance to live on honestly
and redeem his past, for the sake
of the conscience that cries out
within us that we are all sinners?
