Jock Association Organized,
committee from the associa-
SSns met in Union City at Rey-
eritblds' Opera House, for the pur-
pose of organizing the West Ten
nessee Poultry and Pet Stock As
ISOLATION. The object of the meet
ing was stated by q. H. DrewrY, of
Greenfield. A motiou was made to
organize the association and the
same was UNANIMOUSLY carried and
the association was organized with
quite good deal of enthusiasm,
and the following officers were
elected: President, r. w. Tanner,
of Ripley, Tenn. Vice presidents
from the Greenfield Association, w.
H. Dolan and A, M. Kelly, Dyer;
from the Lauderdale County Asso-
citation, L. A. Williams and S. B..
Ferguson, Halls, Tenn; from Obion
County Association, A. #. Tits
worth and w. R. Andrews. Secre-
tary and treasurer, r. E. Perry, of
Greenfield, was unanimously elected,
there being no other name offered
before the association for this Office.
Mr.. Perry's chicken fever was re-
ported to be one hundred and
seven.
1t was moved, seconded and car
ried that the president and vice
presidents be made an executive
committee of the association. This
committee will obtain its authority
from the constitution and bylaws.
At this juncture of the organiza-
ton we listened to an able address
by G. R. Mullins, a representative
OF the Greenfield Board of Trade.
Mr.. Mullens made a strong speech
in behalf of his town, and offered
as an inducement for the first show
to be held by this association in his
town, to furnish a room we'll
lighted and supplied with water
For Mr.. Mullins kindness he was
given rising vote of thanks.
Each and every town that chanc-
es to be in position to entertain the
show would do well to correspond
with some member of the financial
committee, as this committee will
pass upon the financial matters.
Any town, however, desiring to Of
fer these inducements for the first
annual show will directly cores
pond with the secretary of the as
ISOLATION, Mr.. R. E. Perry, of Green
field, Tenn.
The next matter that was before
the association was the matter of
members and membership fees
This matter was voted upon and
one dollar fixed as the annual men,
bership fee, it being understood
and desired by this association that
each and every member pay his
dues on entering the association,
in order that available cash may be
