Fur ther, all birds that come in over fed with grain will either be refused or docked five per cent at the discre tion of the seller. Fowls cannot digest grain without grit. There is not grit in a poultry car and if the crops are full of grain at the time they are confined to the car coops the food sours in the craws and the birds usually die or lose considerable weight in transportation. This ia probably the last sale of the season. Whether or not we have an other sale depends entirely on the price received and the amount of tonnage obtained on the route. E. A. NESMITH, County Agent.

MASS MEETING SUNDAY EVEN Matter of Orfani ration of Associat ed Charities To Be Discaaaed.

All the churches of the com munity have agreed to combine in the interest of this meeting and the same will he a Union Service of the Christian people of this ctiy. A need for the Associated Chari ties to take care of the request for financial assistance that arc con stantly being made upon our citizens have been keenly felt by the business men nnd others and as a result of it this mass meeting has been called.
