FARMERS MIX GRAIN.

One day this week number Of pro-
gressive farmers living north OF town
received a car Of shelled corn and,
having to empty the car p. d. q. they
asked for bin in the Farmers Ele-
vator which was given them, provid-
ing they cleaned out the bin first,
which they did. The Farmers had
the engine going to elevate the corn,
but they did not understand placing
the spout to tho right bin, although
they thought they knew, and placed
tho Indicator to the right point but
failed to place their foot on the do
dad that HITS the spout to. the bin
that - shown by the indicator. They
shot IN the corn and It all landed in
ade tire building, but tho corn w.s not
part cular M to which bin to landed
in and therefore struck four different
bins. The farmers are now cleaning
corn out Of about 5000 bushels OF
wheat. They now understand how to
operate that "dingbat" to the righe

Doctor Cowan came to the Old Aux.

COLONEL BRICKEN
 WANTS GOOD ORDER

Montgomery, January 14.-(Special)- To Company Commanders, Second Infan-
 try, A. W. G.:
 The regimental commander desires to call attention to the absolute necessity upon the part of the members of the Sec ord regiment who attend the inaugural ceremonies in Montgomery.
 Every officer, non-commisisoned officer and enlisted man is placed strictly upon his honor to do nothing that could in the least bring discredit upon the National Guard of this state.
 The members of the legislature and the governor will have an opportunity to judge of the Alabama National Guard from a standpoint of its department upon this occasion. and as this legislature will be called upon to give to the National Guard much needed assistance in the way of new legislation. and increased appro- pirations, it can be readily seen that for this reason only, as well as for many other reasons, there must be no act com mitted that will reflect upon the National Guard.
 Company commanders will bring their men in light marching order-that is to say, the uniform and eqlupment to be worn upon this occasion will be as fol- lows: Service hat, khaki coat, khaki brooches, canvas leggins. with tan shoes If possible, rifle and cartridge belt. No blanket rolls or packs are to be brought If the weather is rainy, ponches can be brought, but in this event each man must write his name and company on Inside of poncho with pen and ink so that it can be identified if lost.
 Company commanders will read or cause to be read to the company before leaving the home station this circular, and also shall explain it to their men while en route to Montgomery.
 Further instructions will be given at Union station upon arrival in Montgomery. The Second regiment will form at the foot of Lee street near Union station.
 The Regimental commander can be com municated with in Montgomery at phones 2491, 6S7, 595. Very r~octfrllv.
