Poultry Meeting
Be Held Saturday

Our county agent and home demon
stration agent have called poultry
meeting for Saturday at 2:30 p. m. at
the Chamber of Commerce room. AT
this meeting we want to see ii we
cannot in some way get the Poultry
Department of Agriculture to send us
one of the best poultrymen in the
southeast to give us assistance and
skilled direction in poultry raising in
this county.
Many of our people are getting
checks often for chickens and eggs as
is shown by bank records and poultry
raising is increasing. Florida is to
make us a great poultry market from
now on and prospects are fine for
moneymaking in poultry. Just now
we have up movement to buy car
load of friers and ship from Fitzger-
aid. If we do what we ought to do we
can ship several carloads each year
and in that way build up just as good
market for Fitzgerald as any commun-
ity has.
The Fitzgerald Hatchery is doing all
it can to boost the business and we
can do more for Our territory if you
people will meet with us and fall in
line with this. profitable movement
which in time will bring into our sec
ton many tens of thousands of dol
lars.
Let US make Fitzgerald a great poul
try market. Let the big city dealer:
know that when they want chicken:
in car lots they can get them in Fitz'
gerald. Quantity makes the market
Come to the meeting.

Pres. Fitzgerald Hatchery

gress, composed of Republicans and
Democrats. has authorized the coin
age of several million Stone Mountain

being sold throughout the United
States, north and south, at one dollar
each. the fifty cents difference making
a Memorial Fund for use in making
out of this great mountain of solid

to the southern soldier.
The north and south are joining
hands and hearts in this significant
move Banks in the north and banks
in the south have supplied themselves
with the coins and are now taking or
ders for them at one dollar each. Ger
tifcates are issued for the money
paid in advance from now until july
3, at which time the certificates can
be brought in to the banks and the
coins received. Orders are given that
no coin be delivered until July 3 al
which time they will be delivered all
over the United States by banks.
There will be no other issue of this
coinage and in years to come these
memorial coins will be held with such
appreciation that they will be hare
to get.
In Fitzgerald, where the first Blue
and Gray organization was instituted
and where the old soldiers from th'
north and the old soldiers from the
south have lived for years on sucf
friendly and mutual terms-they ane
their children-it has already become
apparent that Northerners here

Blows Struck
, In Evolution War

Dayton, Tenn, May 2O.-First
blows in Tennessee's famous evolu-
ton law fight have been struck.
The blows were literal instead OF
figurative, and were exchanged be
tween an advocate and an opponent
of evolution at a meeting of Dayton
citizens to protest against a contem-
plated move bp Chattanooga to rush
to court a case testing the Tennessee
anti-evolution law ahead of the trial
of ]. T. Scopes of Dayton.
An assertion by DR.. George Rap
Rheyees, evolution leader, who swore
,Sut the warrant for Scopes arrest to
test the law, that man evolved from
I lower forms of life. was resented by
Thurlow Reed, Dayton. barber, as
fnAection on his family, and he dashed
to the rostrum and attacked DR.. Rap
pleyees.
Numerous national organizations
and prominent Individuals, including
William Jennings Bryan, Dudley
Field Malone, and Clarence barrow
are enlisted in the fight which will
center around the Tennessee legisla-
ton, and it now is apparent that a
pre-legal contest is on for the honor
of starting the court battle.
The grand judy which will con-
slider the case of Scopes, who, as a
biology teacher in county high
high school, discussed the theory OF
evolution after reading a passage from
an authorized state text book, does

Young Girl Shoots
Fathers Woman Friend

Chicago, May 20.-Lucile Wunsch,
15-year-old high school girl, last night
with her mother, found her father,
William, in company with Miss Agnes
Simneck, %, she shot and probably
fatally wounded Miss Simnecls. She
also slightly wounded her parents
when they attempted to intercept her.
The git ,,as held by police in Riv-
erside, a suburb, where the shooting
occurred. Ter mother, who threw
herself before the girl to prevent her
shooting the father, said she did not
know that the daughter was carrying
the weapon, when they confronted Mr..
Wunsch and Miss Simneck.
Miss Simneck was wounded in the
side and in both lungs, hospital Sur
geons said.
Girl Is Village Belle
,Riverdale officials were said to be
reluctant to prosecute Lucille at least
pending some development in the con-
dition of Miss Simneck. She is one
of Riverda1e's younger village bellies
and her father is a member of the vii
1age board.
The gi5l is said to have been goaded
to shooting because of gibes of school
mates who knew of her fathers
friendship for Miss Simneck.
Miss Simneck told hospital doc
tors that Mrs. Wunsch and not Lucille
did the shooting While the county
highway police accepted this terrible
version, the Riverdale police said both
