CHICKEN CAR PICKED
UP MANY FOWLS HERE
SALE OF POULTRY PUT S1,1s2
IN FARMERS POCKETS. COM
ING BACK SOON.

The visit of the poultry car to Daw-
son Thursday was a great success.
The train arrived here about noon af-
ter visiting Blakely, Arlington, Edi-
son and Cuthbert, at which places
only 1000 pounds of fowls were pick
ed up, and the men in charge were
much surprised to find the large
crowd that was awaiting them. More
chickens were obtained at Dawson
than at the other places combined.
The total number of pounds of
chickens sold at Dawson was $3.50,
for which farmers of the county were
paid S1,15204 The sale of hens led by
wide margin, 4,163 pounds of them
being bought; fryers came next with
$50 pounds, while 343 pounds repre-
scented the weight of roosters. No tur-
keys, ducks or geese appeared
Fryers brought the highest price, 40
cents per pound; hens were sold at 20
cents, and roosters at cents The
weighing and grading was done by
Mr.. F. A. Whelchel. Of the State Blu
reau OF Markets Mr. Kelley, of At
lanta, was the purchaser
The train arrived at Dawson about
noon, and farmers with chickens for
sale came in such large numbers that
it was impossible for it to leave on
schedule time Many came with poh-
try after the train had gone and 9TH
ers were kept away by the heavy rain,
which felt practically all day.
The train remained at Dawson only
about two hours, which made it neces-
sary to load rapidly. The farmers and
business men pulled off their coats and
worked steadily until the chickens
we're all weighed and put aboard.
According to Mr.. Whelchel anoth-
er car will probably be operated
through here in about three weeks.
Official announcement will be made
as soon as possible in order that the
people owning poultry will have time
to get their fowls together.
The success of the sale was due to
the cooperation of the home demon
stration clubs, the farmers, the banks
and the business men of the city and
countyS
A movement is on foot to install a
first class hatchery at Dawson, which
would give a great impetus to the
poultry business of this section and
be worth thousands of dollars to the
farmers.

A VISITOR TO DAWSON
Plant of His Newspaper Badly Dam
aged by Recent Fire.

Editor E F. B%nes, of the Rich
land News, was in Dawson yesterday
and was a pleasant caller at The News
Office
Editor Banes, who recently came to
Richland from Illinois. had the mis-
fortune to suffer serious damage to
his printing office by fire a few nights
ago. The damage is estimated at ST.

to his plant, and has set to work
to overcome the obstacles, and will
not miss an issue of his paper.
