Ings and pressure from local bears and reac-
tionists. The crop estimate OF a New Orleans
authority placing the yield at 13,I5O,OOO bales,
excluding linters, proved rather larger than ex-
peeted and was probably a factor on the de-
cline in connection with relatively easy coolies,
reports OF an easier spot basis in texas and
Georgia and Louisiana. There was an active
demand around y 50 for January, however. and
the market later in the morning rallied or
points from the lowest.
Reports that the SOUTHERN correspondents OF
New York house estimated the ginning TO
December at II, $40, 600 bales helped the rally
and prices recovered 10 within 10 or IL points

from New Orleans that the National Ginners
association made the ginning IL, $50 900 bales,
the mgrket weakeden again under renewed gen
eral ffquidaton with prices at midday about

Coweta Poultry Association

PTSHE Coweta Poultry Associa-
ton have put on at Newman,
- Ca, this year probably one of
the best poultry shows that has
been conducted in any town of
anything like it's size in the entire
south. II shows how the interest
will grow year by year and how
the people will become educated
when these shows are conducted
annually, and furthermore, how
many people will become inter
ested every year in an enterprise
that up to the present time has
been thought but little of over the
south. A few fanciers in and
around Newman year by year grad
ually built up their business to
such an extent that now the poul-
try industry Of this section rep
resents thousands of dollars in
Coweta county, and the credit
largely for this wonderful entry
should go, practically speaking, to
five or six fanciers who have stuck
to the game through thick and
thin. Notwithstanding the bad
weather during the week, large

The Lion and the Lamb.

The hardest thing 10 train a wild
beast TO do Is TO perform with n weak.
~defenseless animal. In one of the big
c~ircuses some years ago an effort was
made to persuade n very dociie old
lion to lie down with q lamb. The
idea was certainly n good one. but 1t
took several lambs and also several
months before the lion, which was
willing to do any kind of trick. would
allow a lamb to enter his den with
impunity. Twice he killed n lamb In
the presence of his trainer. and once
he nearly killed the trainer. who tried
to pull away the carcass. Finally the
lion would tolerate the lamb In the den
just so long as the keeper stood over
1t with an iron bar. But the perform
was so evidently forced and so
lacking in smoothneSs and interest
that 1t WAS abandoned after two or
three attempts.
