Q.t SATURDAY, NOV-15, 1913. - NUMBER 95 INTEREST IN CHICKENS WHAT THE POULTRY SHOW MEANS Many Inquiries Coming In From this and Adjoining Counties The Executive Committee of Gran ville County Poultry Association are very much encouraged with the interest manifested in the Poultry Show to be held in Oxford Wednes day and Thursday, January 14 and 15. Mr. Jim Stegall, one of the most enthusiastic chicken men to be found anywhere, is in receipt of many inquires from this and ad joining counties, and there is an agreeable surprise to see so much interest developing right here in Oxford. The decision of the Ex ecutive Committee in fixing the entrance fees is meeting with general and hearty approval. The entrance fee for single chicken is 10 cents; for pens of not less than five 50 cents to residents of county; for non-residents of the county the fee.for single chicken is 50 cents; for pens of five $2.00. ' . It begins to look like the Poultry Show will become an annual event. Already a great many have paid their dollar and become members of the association. It costs only one dollar to join and this pays for one year. The membership fee paid now will count for stock when the Association becomes incorporat ed. The poultry men see in the poultry show the means of greatly increasing the food supply of the county and this fact alone should awaken the interest of everyone. While it is a new organization in "our midst, it is a far-reaching one, and nothing will shed more lustre upon the county than the develop ment and demonstration of poultry. It is a step in the right "direction and is of vital imoortance to the . entire county and we hope to see the Association crowned with sue cess. Dangerous Thing. People should be more careful about throwing banana peelings on the sidewalks as' they are danger r ous.

THE MARKET IS STRONG CONTINUES TO SELL VERY HIGH Many Handsome Checks Made Out to the Farmers While the breaks this vveek have not been as large as they were dur ing the previous weeks, they have been sufficiently large to make the market a lively place. Prices have shown a good gain, however, and the daily average has been a way up. That tobacco sells better when the breaks- are medium size is proven bv the nrices paid this week. There has been just enough tobacco here to keep the buyers on edge and every buyer acted like he real ly wanted every pile offered. Dur ing a big glut there is always such a rush that some piles are not given the same attention they receive when there is not so much in. , The color of the breaks this week has not been any brighter than usual, but the quality may have been some better and thus affected the average price. Granting that the quality is some better, at the same time it can hardly be denied that prices are " better than they were. Warehousemen and growers admit this to be true. In the final count figures always tells the story. M. T. Oakley, of Tally Ho Township, sold one load at Owen Warehouse Thursday and received a check for the large amount of $879.
