Lem Creswell, one of the proni
inent stock farmers of the Leaday
country, came in from his ranch
Thursday afternoon and brought
in 82 fine year old Ttirker Gob-
blers, that averaged 14 3-4 pounds
each and sold to Miller Mercan-
tile Co. for shipment.
Mr. Creswell says they have
j-; ised something over two hund
red turkeys on the ranch the past
season and that he now has 103
turkey hens anti 17 fine gobblers
which he will keep to raise from
this year. He has a fine range
for his turkeys ahd at very little
expense and trouble hopes to do
better the coining year.
At 12 cents per pound this ship
merit of gobblers will net Mr. Cres
well a neat little sum of money
as a side line.

It is the intention of those at
the head of the local movemnt to
collect enough money from the
business men of each tow n to jay
all railroad expc ses. Twelve
men will be carried by each club.
This will demand a neat little
sum of money, but not as much as
