Depopols. November 14.-(SpecialJ
Last Saturday was livestock day at De-
mopolis, and a great show it was.
Only five days notice had been given.
The farmers within radius Of 10 miles
Of Demopolis were asked to give a
community show" and to bring their
stock from the pastures, especially grade
stock. The idea was to show not only
what could be done in the Demopolis sec
ton but also to show what was actually
being done. The greatest herds were
represented and the little farmer who
is just beginning to really farm also
brought his COW, horse, hog or sheep to
town.
Pens had been prepared around the
beautiful little public park in the heart
of the city. Every one was invited, but

ANNIsTON LADS PATRIOTIC

Calhoun county young men are more
patriotic than those of any other section
in the state, if the reports of enlistments
just made by Capt. Arthur Harrison,
senior recruiting officer, may be taken
as an indication.
Captain Harrison has just made re-
port to the quartermaster general show
ing the number of recruits enlisted by
the different recruiting officers of the
state from August II, when these offices
were first opened, until November 8.
The report shows that the Admission
recruiting station heads the list with IS
recruits to it's credit, and more are being
enlisted every day. The station at Dade-
Vile ranks lowest, with only 10 recruits
Gadsden, which has nearly as many in
habitants as Admission, reports only So
enlistments.
Captain Harrison states that a number
of applications are made every day for
enlistment, but not all who apply are
accepted. The applicant must not have
any physical defects that would have
a tendency to prevent him from serving
effectively in the army, but many defec-
tives apply daily and some almost beg
to be allowed to enlist, so great is their
desire to serve Uncle Sam.
