Killed Night Heron.
Mr. John M. Michael, who lives in
Bullock's Creek township, brought to
this office yesterday a specimen OF a
night heron that he killed on Mr.. w.
G. Turner's place last Thursday. The
bird flew up before him and alighted
on a tree from which he shot 1t. He
nor none of the neighbors had ever
seen such a bird before, and 1t was
brought to The Enquirer office for
identification. Comparison with the
plates of birds in Webster's Interna-

doubtedly a night heron.
Poas Thinks It Good.
Mr.. O. F.. Wilkins Of Yorkville,
quotes j. Edgar Poag as being much
pleased with the cow show idea: why
fellow" says Mr.. Poag, that Is the
best thing that has been done in this
part of the country in long time. The
people have the cows, and they should
show 'em and learn how and why
their COWS are better or not so good as
somebody else's cow. Yes, the cow
show is a great thing and the people
are going to come to see 1t too. You
lust remember that. Why, they are
talking about this York county cow
show everywhere, not only over York
county and throughout the state; but
in other states"
