Guard Well Your Coop of Christmas Chickens
PESKY POPE’S AT LARGE!
"Keep a padlock on your chicken
house and tie the dog inside it. The
Atlanta negro is going to have his
Christmas chicken, even if he has to
buy it, but buying is his last resort.”
That’s the advice the county police
are giving suburban residents as Christ
mas approaches. Even as watermelon
on the Fourth of July or as fried fish
in the springtime is the smell of chick
en gravy at Christmas to the colored
contingent. Chicken fanciers who have
lost whole coops of prize-winning birds
in other pre-holiday seasons are sit
ting up with shotguns between their
knees.
For several years there has flourished
in Atlanta and its environs a chicken
fancier known to sheriff and police as
Pesky Pope. Pesky is a chicken con
noisseur. He can tell a Buff Orpington
cockerel from a barred Wyandotte the
minute he tightens his grip around their
legs, and he can shut both eyes and
distinguish between a Brahma and an
Indian Game the instant he sinks his
teeth in the drumstick.
Some Chicken Eater!
Pesky is accustomed to chicken three
times a day in the intervals when he is
not sojourning in the stockade, and is
known far and wide as a more danger
ous pest than the roup, pip and all
other chicken epidemics combined.
During the last chicken show at the
Auditorium. Pesky coaxed a ticket from
some one and roamed up and down the
aisles like t> cat outside a canary cage,
his mouth watering for prize chicken.
“That languid colored gentleman,
there by the bantam coop, holds the
distinction of having eaten the highest
priced meal ever served in Atlanta,”
said one of the show directors, point
ing out Pesky to a group of visitors.
"New York’s lobster palaces are pikers
beside him.
Pesky's $950 Breakfast.
"It was just after the first chicken
show given in Atlanta. AU the prize
birds had been loaded Into wagons,
ready for the express office, when that
negro happened along and took a look.
He climbed aboard a wagon, persuaded
the driver to have a ‘nigh-beer’ or two
with him. and finally drove the load-of

chickens into Darktown, chose about a
dozen fine young fowls and disappeared.
"Next tmorning the police found
chicken feathers outside his door and
the remnants of a chicken breakfast
on his table. Pesky and his friends
had devoured $950 worth of chicken, ac
cording to prices offered and refused by
the owners. How’s that for one break
fast ?
"Come over here, Pesky,” he called.
The dusty fancier approached, grin
ning.
The Way To Raise Chickens.
“Pesky, they tell me you are the best
chicken raiser in Atlanta," said the di
rector. 'Tell us how you do it."
"Well, ,suh,” explained Pesky. “Di
bes’ way to raise chickens is to get a
nice wide plank and a tallow candle.
When d< nights are chilly de chickens’
feet gits cold on de roostses. You
slip under de roost and light de candle
and warm de end of the plank. Den
you slip de plank up in front ob de
chicken and touch him on de toes and
he'll step off on it, glad to git his feet
warm. Den you let him down easy and
put him in de sack. Dal's de bes’ way.”
A look over the police records shows
that Pesky Pope is now at liberty.
Warning is therefore issued to all
chicken owners to buy a bulldog or
take their chickens inside the house.

PLANS FOR SIOO,OOO
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
CHURCH COMPLETE
Plans are complete for the new Chris
tian Science church to be erected at
the northeast corner of Peachtree and
Peachtree circle, and the congregation
will ask at once for contractors’ bids.
The church will cost something near
SIOO,OOO and it is expected that work on
it will be started not later than early
spring.
The lot is fan-shaped and fronts on
both Peachtiee and Peachtree circle. It
was bought several ago for $16.-
000, and the church has refused various
offers up to $30,000. The lot is held to
be worth $50,000 or $60,000. The church
will be built after the fashion of the
Baker Street church, now headquarters
of the Atlanta “Women’s club. with
colonial pillars and a dome. Its seating
capacity will be nearly 1,000. Edward
E. Dougherty is the architect.
Local Christian Scientists started
their meetings in halls and later had
rooms in the Grand building, then the
Baker Street church, and still later
leased the present quarters on North
Broad street, near Peachtree.
We wish to call your attention to the
fact that most infectious diseases, such
as whooping cough, diphtheria and
scarlet fever, are contracted when the
child has a cold. Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy will quickly cure a cold and
greatly lessen the danger of contract
ing these diseases. This remedy is
famous for its cures of colds. It con
tains no opium or other narcotic and
may be given to a child with implicit
confidence. Sold by all dealers. (Advt.)

FRANK WYNNE NEW
SECRETARY OF BEES;
SUCCEEDS 8.8. OWEN.
Frank Wynne, one of the most popu
lar young men in Atlanta, has been
elected secretary of the Order of Bees
by the board of governors, succeeding
B. B. Owen.
The position held by Mr. Owen was
that of secretary and manager. The
two offices were separated, Mr.. Wynne
being elected secretary and Theodore
Fichter manager.
This change In officers of the Order
of Bees is a very acceptable one to the
750 members of the order, as both Mr.
Wynne and Mr. Fichter are very popu
lar with the membership. (Advt.)

song and deeds of arms.
At tiie meeting Friday the resigna

i was chosen to fill the vacancy.
Advice to Those Who
Have Lune Trouble
Tuberculosis is said to be curable by
• simply living in the open air and taking
, an abundance of fresh eggs and milk.
Do all you possibly can to add to
strength and increase weight; eat whole
some, nourishing food, and breathe the
> cleanest and purest air. and then, it'
; health and strength do not retnrn, add
i the tonic and beneficial effects of Eck
, man’s Alterative. Read what it did in
this case:
1 105 East Fifth St, Wilmington, Del.
i "Gentlemen: In January, 1908, I was
taken with hemorrhages of the lungs. My
i physician, one of the leading practition
ers, said that it was lung trouble. I took
, eggs and milk in quantities, but I got
' very weak. The doctors said I would not
gain in weight as long as I stayed in
the store; but I kept on working and
prayed each day that I might get well.
I believe my prayers were answered, for
Mr. C. A. Lippincott, my employer (Lip
pincott & Co., department store. 306 to
314 Market street. Wilmington, Del.) had
i learned of a remedy called Eckman’s Al
terative that had done great gqod, and
upon his recommendation 1 began taking
- it at once. This was about June, 1908.
I continued faithfully, using no other rem
edy, and finally noticed the clearing of
the lungs. I firmly believe Eckman’s Al
terative saved nij- life. I sent my spittle
later to the state board of health to be
examined for tuberculosis bacilli, and
none were found. My mother died from
consumption when I was about two years
1 old.
< ”1 make this statement so that others
; may learn of the wonderful merits of
Eckman’s Alterative. I regard my re
covery as being miraculous."
’ (Sworn affidavit) JAS. SQUIRES.
Eckman’s Alterative Is effective in bron
' chitfs, asthma, hay fever, throat and lung
■ troubles and in upbuilding the system.
Does not contain poisons, opiates or hab-
■ it-forming drugs. For sale by all of
, Jacobs’ drug stores and other leading
druggists. Ask for booklet telling of re-
• coveries and write to Eckman Laboratory,
■ Philadelphia, Pa., for additional evidence.
