Perryville has become quite a poultry center of late years, and especially for turkeys. The big day of the season in this line was last Friday and over 2000 head left Perryville that afternoon on a special express car for the St.

Louis market. Rozier led the buying with 878 headr. The Perryville Mercantile was but little behind and L. P. Faherty also got his share of the birds.

Figuring at an average weight of 12 pounds, which is not at all too high, there were at least $5000 worth of turkeys bought at Perryville that day, and the price paid for them was per pound. About one-third as many turkeys were bought Saturday, some failing to get in for the big day. Louis Kutz had the prize bunch of the day. He brought in four fine young gobblers that weighed 130 pounds, an average of pounds, and at cents per pound they netted him $26.65, or $4.45 each. How would you like one for a Thanksgiving feast? The poultry business in this county has grown a great deal in the past year.

The merchants here tell us that all lines of the poultry business has about doubled in the past year. It used to be that the poultry on the farm bought the sugar and coffee, but now it settles many of the farmers bills and even builds up the bank account. And this reminds us that it is time to revive the defunct poultry association of the county. It is a help and inspiration to the raising of pure strains and in other ways is an advantage to the raisers. There is nothing like organization to help along a movement.

What do you say to reviving this interest? P. H. S. VICTORS OVER MAYFIELD MASSIVE BUNCH. The Perryville High School football team went to Marble Hill last Saturday to play the Mayfield College team, but they trembled when they beheld the gladiatorial bunch of huskies who outweighed them fully 20 pounds to the man, but they nerved to the task and won by the score of 21 to 19.

Mayfield scored a touchdown in the first quarter by line bucks, hitting Perryville's light line hard. Perry ville came back with a touchdown on a forward pass from Javaux to Cashion, the ball having been advanced from the 41 yard line on passes. In the second quarter Perryville scored again by the same method, Cashion again carrying the ball over. Mayfield came back hard in the second half and by a 90-yard run on an intercepted forward pass scored a touchdown, making the count 14 to 13. By forward passes and end runs Perryville again got over the line, Geile skirting the end for it.

In the last quarter Mayfield got a touchdown after Perry ville had held them for three downs on their two-yard line, and when the game ended Perryville led 21 to 19. Geile, Javaux and Cashion did the star work for Perryville. The game was characterized by much ragging and roughness on the part of Mayfield. They were not up on the game and tried to win by brute force when they saw the lighter team take the lead, and had to be called down by the umpire. P.

H. S. feels that they won a great victory, everything considered, but prefer to next time go up against less beef and beefing. WIFE OF OLDEST CITIZEN DEAD. Mrs.
