Madison County Poultry AS
SOciatiOn Meets Nav p.

To the poultry, turkey, duck and pet
stock raisers of Madison county:
The Madison County Poultry Associ-
alton will hold its annual meeting at
McKee's Rink, May %, to elect officers
and decide on the advisability of hold
ing show the second week in Decem-
ber. As all know, the work incidental
to holding a show has heretofore fallen
on the shoulders of few interested
breeders, which is not the accepted
spirit of the associations of this country;
and those who have been doing all the
work, wish to say to the breeders of the
county. that they don't feel that the
other breeders and sympathizers have
taken the interest that would have been
taken if all had done their share of work
and shown the proper spirit of CO opera
tion, which we are sure they will show
after this appeal. Will say further, that
unless we can get the cooperation and
help, that we will have to let the associ-
alton die the death of the uninterested.
| The object of the association is to
help the commercial breeder as we'll
as the fancier; and the one that will get
the most benefit is the farmers wife,
who gets her ''pin money" from her
chickens and eggs. So don't forget this
date, as this meeting will be OF material
interest to every citizen of Madison
county.
If you will just spend few minutes
of your time looking up the records, you
will find that Kentucky is far below the
position should be in with her poultry
and egg products You all know this is
not as it should be, as our State is as
good as auy In the Union, and if every
one will take an interest in poultry asso-
Citations and shows, our standing will be
improved at once The harder you pull,
the faster the other fellows will join
with helping hand, and when the
hands get numerous enough TO handle
the work without being burden to any
one hand, then you can expect results
and will get them.
Now every man, woman and child who
is interested should attend this meeting
and show that the interests of their
county is near their hearts. Take the
proper pride in your poultry and see
, that our county ranks at the top from a
commercial as we'll as fancy standpoint.
By attending you will help the workers
who have carried the load in the past,
and will have one of the best associa-
tions in the country. The association
is not out for the money there is in the
business for the association. but is after
results for the breeders and producers
of the county. Will say, there is moth
ing raised in the county that can COM
pete with the old Domineck hens pro-
ducts. The facts are, that the poultry,
|, eggs, turkeys, ducks and geese that are
, marketed in this county, viii cover
every other branch OF farming up SO thai
. you will have to havea search warrant
to find them. Now this sounds queer
but ask your produce dealers and the,
. will open your eyes with facts and fig
ures.
We also wish to ask the commercial
organizations, country clubs, girls and
+. boys and all other clubs, to attended il
body or send representatives to thi
meeting to cooperate with US in thi
great work for the good of the citizen
8 our county and State. H. NJ.

Citizens Will Present Grievances e
Chancellor at Tuniea.

Tunica,-The question Of the most
absorbing interest to the people Of
Tunica County who own land east Of
the main line of the Yazoo & Missis-
sippi Valley Railroad is that of the
heavy assessment levied against the
property In this area by the board OF
commissioners of the o-Coldwater
Drainage District for drainage puT-
poses. The same question is also
agitating the people of those parts OF
Pamela, Quitman. Tate and De Soto
Counties which are embrced in this
district. The engineers estimate Of
the total costs Of this work is
SO, zoo, 900, an amount which is ON
siderably greater than the total as
sessed value of all of the assessed
property embraced in the Yazoo-
Coldwater Drainage District, basing
the same on the county assessors
books for the preceding year. The
amount stated is that for which bonds
will be sold, and no estimate has been
made for the costs of maintenance or
fcS interest on these bonds. The law
authorizes the issuance of bonds to
run for 80 years, but they may be
arranged SO that part Of the bonds
will mature annually at the option Of
the commissioners, said bonds to bear
rate of interest not above 6 per cent
per annum 1t can be easily seen from
the foregoing statement that the
costs of this enterprise will probably
be $4,000, 900 or $4,000, 900 before
the maturity of the bonds, and to
construct the drains as contemplated
and to carry out the scheme as rec
commended by the board of commits
sioners and their engineer will impose
a burden upon the people in this dis
trict.
The people are making a protest
against the further carrying out OF
this scheme and they are filing pro-
tests by the hundreds to be heard by
Chancellor Denton at which time he
will hold his special term OF court at
Tunica, which is the domicile Of said
district, to hear these protests. The
people have also formed what ID
known as the Land Owners Protec-
tive Association, the purpose of which
Is to act in a body and make a fight.
The Land Owners Protective AssO-
citation has employed Judge Julian G.
Wilson and Hon. st. John Waddell OF
Memphis, Tenn, and J. w. Henderson
of Tunica, Miss, to make this fight for
them, and these gentlemen are very
actively engaged in getting things
ready for the hearing before Judge
Denton. The Yazoo-Coldwater Drain
age District Is represented by Mont
gomery & Montgomery, attorneys-at-
law of this place.
