CAPTAIN sHEEHAN ON ALA k BAMA DAY CicLEBRATIoN. .s Exercises commemorative of the an- niversary of the admission of Alabama Into the Federal Union, eighty eight years ago, were held in the Cottage Hill School on yesterday. Miss vir- ginia Hereford. the principal has shown much interest in the training of the pupils of the school in state his- tory, and the observance of the an- niversary was so worked out as to stimulate local pride and patriotic spirit.
 The address of the occasion was de- livered by Captain Win T. Sheehan. who spoke on Some Early and Some Peculiar Alabamians." He gave . vivid picture of pioneer life and times in Alabama, and detailed many thrill- Ing incidents In the lives of the Indians and the early settlers. Captain Sheehan has taken an intelligent interest In the history of the state, and has. visit ed the descendants of many of the old Indian families now residing in South Alabama. Readers of The Advertiser will recall his series of papers descrip- tive of his visit which were published some months ago.
 While not observed on December I4 the date of the admission of the state Into the union, the interest of the pupils was none the less eager. It is believed that these young Alabamians will be better patriots because of such anniversary celebratiQps, and from their studies, in state history.
 Captain JSheehan was formally pre- scented to the school by Mir. James <. Parrish, alderman from Ward One, in which Cottage Hill School is located.
