ANOTHER CHICKEN SALE,
DAWSON, NEXT TUESDAY
Highest Prices Will Be Paid for
Poultry, and Expert Grader
il Be Present. Another Car
- Joad Will Be Shipped.
The sccond Terrell county co-oper
ative chicken sale will be held m Daw
on ‘Tuesday of next week, June
j2th. Due to insistent demands of
< who were present and so well
Jleascd at the success of the first co
aperative chicken sale and many oth
ers who were unable to attend the
cle will be held next week apd an
“her carload of chickens .will be
Hu;»m]‘_
U"i\; ihe first sale approximately $l,-
700 was realized by poultry raisers of
wie and adjoining counties. The price
paid was 21 cents % pound for - hens
and 45 cents @ pound for fryers.
Chickens may be brought in any
pumbers, and cash will be pa}ld as the
fowls are weighed and delivered to
he buvers.
I“Erh!s sales afford ‘an opportunity
v dispose of surplus chickens at a
ral price without the additional
trouble and annoyance o.f marketing.
There arc many people in the coun
ty who had rather not sell their barn
vard fowls than be forced to attempt
to dispose of them by a house to
house canvass. The co-operative sale
here on the 12th will eliminate all of
that trouble. The only thing required
is that your chickens be brought to
the railroad car and- turned over to
the marketing bureau men, wha_ will
in turn weigh them and see that you
get your money.
One Farmer’s Chicken “oney.
A rather interesting incident relative
1o the first sale at Dawson is narrat
«d by a merchant of a neighboring
county. A customer, of his from the
ame county brought his chickens to
Dawson for the first sale and received
around $B5 for the lot. A few days
later he was in the)store and bought
several articles, and the merchant in
quired if he wanted them charged on
mis iall account. The customer an
swered at once in the negative, and
turned to his wife and told her to pay
the amount of the purchases out of
“hat chicken money” he had receiv
ed in Dawson at the sale. This is just
2 concrete example of how the sale
hlped one man. It is a source of pin
money ii you-do not desire to sell
many chickens.
Everybody is urged to bring their
chickens to the sale on Tuesday, June
12th. Every chicken will be weighed
and bought by experts.
It will be a good idea, however, to
inform the local promoters, R. D.
Smith and H.® A. Petty, just how
manv fowls you intend to bring to the‘
sale.
It is believed that in the coming‘
sale there will be even more chickens
brought in than at the first one. |

JACK HOLLAND IN OLD-TIME
FORM. LOCAL BOYS HAVE
FAST TEAM.
The team of Terrell couilty stars
composed of boys recruited from all
over the county defeated the Albany
Legion team in Albany on Thursday
afternoon. Jack Holland, of Bron
wood, pitched for the local boys and
was master of the situation through
out the game’ His battery partuer was
Joe Henry Nasworthy, of Dawson,
who received in fine style. Zeb Mar
shall, of Sasser, was the fielding star
of the game, according to reports of
the contest received here. Camp
pitched for Albany andshis offerings
were knocked to all corners of the
field by the Terrell lads, who are a
bunch of heavy hitters. Simmie Huck
aby, a former Dawson boy, starred in
the field for Albany. :
This class of ball, while inexpen
sive, is really the most interesting
and exciting kind, due to local inter
est in the players. Their brand of ball
is fast and clean, and should they
schedule a game in Dawson no doubt
a large cromd of fans would attend.
