Gen. Samuel Thomas, father Of E, r.
Thomas, from paying E. r. Thomas
more than $4,000 year from his $4,000

this on the ground that he had been

GEORGIA POULTRY SHOW
WILL OPEN ON TUESDAY
Weather Was So Bad Express
Company Couldn't Deliver
. Birds for Monday Opening

The eighth annual exhibition OF the
Georgia Poultry association opens at the
auditorium-armory at 9 o'clock Tuesday
morning. Instead Of l O'Clock Monday
afternoon as previously announced.
The delay is attributed by Supt. Frank
J. Coll primarily to the unusually severe
weather. the slippery condition of the
streets having made 1t impossible Cor
the express company to keep up with
the delivery OF the fowls
Superintendent Coll declared on Mon
day that approximately 1000 fowls were
cooped in the big arena. The entries,
according TO officials. total slightly over
$50 so il can readily be seen that
the tremendous task of coping the re-
naming 100 fowls would have TO go on
with visitors in the narrow aisles i'm
peding the progress or workmen, If the
doors were thrown open at l o'clock
Monday.
However, despite the adverse condition
OF the weather, officials expect to have
everything in tip-top shape by 9 o'clock
Tuesday morning. and not only will the
doors of the auditorium be thrown open
to the public at that time, but the work
of judging the handsome fowls will also
commence then.
While show officials were on the job
until midnight Sunday. they had little
work TO do, as the express company
could not use their horses for delivery
before they had all been taken to a
blacksmith and rough shod in order
that they might keep their footing on
the slippery streets.
The eighth annual exhibit of the
Georgia Poultry association promises
despite the weather to be one of the
most successful events in the history
Of the organization.
Coops for more than 1900 fowls have
been i'm place for several days, end
many of them are now filled with the
choicest birds in the south. Particu-
larry strong will the show be in the
popular varieties, and a number of
handsome fowls of the well known types
are already in their places.
The main arena in the auditorium is
well filled with the exhibit coops. One
of the corridors is also filed with coops
for a big display of ducks, many Of
which are already in their places. A por-
ton of Taft hall is being used for show
purposes and in it are several pens of
games, some handsome Orpingtons.i and
small. but extremely CLASSY display
OF pigeons
The admission fee TO the show has
been placed at % cents for adults and
10 cents for children. The show will
run through Saturday, the doors being
opened at 9 o'clock each morning AMI
closed at o'clock in the evenings.
All advance clerical work has been
done by the show officials and the
awards, they say, will be placed upon
the coops of the winners almost imJne-
diately after the birds have been Judged.
The show officials expect this work to
be concluded on Tuesday.
