Jefferson County Meeting
Is Voted Best Collec-
ton Yet.
SHOWING RARE BIRDS
Chicken Enthusiasts After Looking
Over Big Entry Declare 1t Splen-
aid-Hoid Meeting Today.

With very large exhibit, the Tru-
lock building on West Barraque
neatly arranged and the promise OF Il
successful week. the annual poultry |
show opened in Pine Bluff yesterday |
with every desired arrangemnt com
plte to the smallest detail.
The jefferson County Poultry AS
sociation has for four years past been
holding good shows and has done
much to increase the enthusiasm IN
breeding pure bred foods. Its past
efforts are thrown into the shade by
the present one. No finer show has
ever been held here and the quality OF
the stock is far and away above the
average, in fact competent judges say
much of it would do credit to the
large Northern and Eastern shows.
There are approximately 1000 birds
TO be seen, from the diminative Ban
tam to the lovely Rocks and Orplng-
tons. The Barred Plymouth Rocks
number nearly 200, while close be-
hind them will be found the White
Plymouth Rocks, White, Brown, Bur
and Rlue Leghorrs and White Wyan-
dottes are great in number and IN
quality while the Rhode Island Red
is NOT far behind any of them in num-
bers and it's quality is superb.
EIGHT different states are repre-
scented in this grand array of birds
Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Lou1sl-
ana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Missouri
and Indiana, and who ever may win
the nrizes will know that they have
!been won where competition was
keen and bird that would ordinarily
win first has had hard time &c
even get placed at second.
