At such a , strenuous age as this when the Housekeepers' league is wag ing campaigns against the high cost of living in many northern cities, result ing in a drop in the price of hen trull from fifty cents or more per tlozcu to "suffragette eggs" for twenty-three cents, such a remarkable feat on the part of a member of the feathered tribe is considered far from the ordinary. - "At this polat o fthe story Dr. Colum bus Few, a great chicken fancier and president of the Henderson County Poultry association, stalks in and he fact is related to him by the newspa per scribe. The genial doctor knows a great deal about the traits of a hen but. he frankly admits, that this "stunt" by the gallinaceous bird is ont on him for lie cannot recall anything better than an eld hen of his laying two eggs onp day while in a coop. Mr. Boyce said that while, watering his horse he frightened a hen frora'thp trough and that In her flight to the ground, covering a distance of about six feet, she ruthlessly deposited two samples 'of soft shelled eggs before alighting.' Mr. Boyce was Inclined at first to believe that the hen laid.cnly one egg, which he thought . was a little but of the, ordinary,.

The next convention wil lbe held on the fi At Sunday in June at the court house. -; -, For the accommodation of the choirs the. association was divided Into three districts so that rehearsals may be held without much inconvenience; Each district can hold meetings any time it is thought best but the three districts will unite twice yearly. .
