that Augusta has pigeon fancier in

years he has been engaged during his
spare time with the raising of several
Kinds of fine pigeons. In two crude
cotes back Of the house at 81 Mount
Vernon avenue are a number of fine
birds. the poutcr, fan-taii and carrier
|tNpeS all beng represented. as well as
several other varieties that a journal
rof ortcr, not being a dove specialist,
did not recognize. There were white
doves with red eyes, blue doves with
wonderful rainbow lights in their
plumage, and red doves that looked as
if they had been carved from o brick
There was one fine fellow with pure
blue "hlh," the lower half of his breast
beng the DureSt of white, and his
back was white lake with a long blue
renirsular running through it. The
owner of these birds is a Pole. who is
employed at the Edwards mills and
was not at home to be interviewed, but
his birds are a fine lot and well worth
a visit.
