Poultry Show Is a Great Success. . . Show Last Tuesday Was the Best Ever Held in This Section—Exhibits Viewed by Large Crowds

A large crowd attended the second Macon County Poultry Show, which was held in the new Joines building last Tuesday. The finest showing of birds ever gotten together in this section was on the floor, there being over 50 separate entries for the various prizes offered.

Mr. Weaver Gray, an old Macon County boy, who is now Farm Demonstration Agent for Jackson County, acted as judge at the show. Mr. Gray was very enthusiastic over the excellent showing made by the people of his old home county, and declared that the show would have done credit to any county in the State.
