LARRY HORN DIES AT
 AGE OF 1O1 YEARS
Talladega Demands Belt in Chicken Industry"-Candidates Are
 Smiling

Taladega, April 30.-(Special)-At the remarkable age of 101 years. Larry Horn of Clearmont Springs, Is dead. For two generations the people of Talladega have beheld his tall. stawart form, grizzled face and listened to his "reminiscences. Many claims to longevity are unfounded but in the case of Larry Horn it is susceptible of abundant proof that he had passed the century milestone. Near ly 100 of his descendants and kinfolk inhabit Horns valley in Clay county. and the country whereabouts. He used to- bacco and whisky all his life, and he was a mighty hunter. He was a fine type of the Appalachian pioneer and he lived through the sunshine and shadow of 100 years without one disgraceful act to mar his record.
 Talladega county steps to the front and demands the belt in the chicken indus try. Forty-siX Rhode Island Reds owned by J. M. Jackson are growing for recog- hilton and the record. These fowls got down to cases in the early morning on February 1, 1911, and up to Friday, April 29 these bipeds have layed 2405 eggs. MT. Jackson has sold 10l settings of eggs. These hens have matched 150 chickens. If anybody comes up with a record at all comparable to this let them file affi- davits with the claim, because Jackson will demand the proof.
 The First Baptist church of Talladega has been without pastor for some months, although several visiting min isters have been tried out without ex- actly coming up to the requirements of the congregation. On April 23, the Rev. J. M. Thomas of Union Springs, preached to the church and five days later the committee on pastorate reported favor ably to calling him-which report was unanimously adopted by the congregation. The First Baptist church is a strong and wealthy body and the church has been served in the past by some of the leading preachers of that denomination.
 Candidates for county offices are al- ready getting busy, especially for the places of tax assessor and treasurer. The glad hand and the smile that won't come off are in evidence when these plums are mentioned, although 1t Is more than a year before there is vacancy.

TWELVE FOOT VEIN
 NEAR ASHVILLE
Purchases of Schulers in Coal Lands Looks Like Big Developments
 in the Future

Ashville, April 30.-jS Special. 1.-The discovery of g 12-foot vein of iron ore about thrae miles out of Ashville and the cor tinued purchases of large tracts of land in that neighborhood by F. T. Schuler of Gadsden has caused con- siderable furry in St. Clair county.
 The Schulers have bought thousands of acres of coal and iron lands near here, and as it Is to be traversed by the Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia railroad 1t is likely to be opened and developed in short time. It Is said that the Schulers are making their pur- chases for parties in the east, but many people believe that they intend to get back into the iron and steelmaking game before long.
 The vein of ore which Is being opened and which Is reported to be 12 feet thick Is in the Slasham fiatwoods about three miles east of here. In the firing ing mountains there Is known to be a large quantity of iron which Is too high in silica for present furnace prac- tice, but down in the f1atwoods 1t is said to be free from silica and very high in metallic iron. Some years ago a vein was found to be about six feet. In the near vicinity the Schulers own about 5000 acres of valuable coal land, which is said to be equal to any in either the Gadsden or Birming- ham district. When the railroad Is built 1t will be only a short time before Ashville will be ranking in the indus trial cities of the south. It is firmly believed in local industrial circles that a big mine development Is soon to take place about three miles east of Ash ville and on the prop osed T. A. and G line of railroad
 Owing to the continued rains in this section of the county but very little cotton has yet been planted and hardly any corn. The farmers are getting restless and say the prospect is indeed very unfavorable.
 The annual Sunday school picnic will be taken on the second Saturday In May by the three churches of Ashville. The picnic will probably be at Point Peter.
