List of Prizes Awarded
at Poultry Show.

From any and every angle OF VISION
the first annual show of the North
Mississippi Poultry Association which
was held in this city last week was
eminently successful, even beyond the
most sanguine expectations OF those IN
closest touch with the details and out
look. The truth of the matter is that
year ago, and at the time the associa-
tion was first organized, the fondest
hone of the promoters was to pull OFT
the first show with 1000 birds on exhl-
bit,on and it seemed that to hope for
more than 1900 would be no less than
folly. A great many of the members
mainteined this standard up to the
hour of actual count and when it was
announced that there were 1000 birds
cooped and ready for the judges the re-
port could not be given credehce. But
such was the case and had it not been
for the excellent judgement and tire
less efforts on the part of SuperiDten-
dent C. w. Hall and his sole assistants
the confusion and chaos that might
have resulted from this surprise would
no doubt have caused some inconven-
ience and annoyance. But by working
night and day everything passed with
out single untoward incident and by
six o'clock Saturday afternoon every
specimen had been handled by the
Judges, viewed by visitors by the theus-
and and was en- route home. Since
that time the secl etary and his assist
ants have been working overtime try
ing TO make sure that every award IS
properly placed. 1t required greater
