ALABAMA
PAYS PRICE.

The Alabama infantry regiment in
the Rainbow Division has been almost
wiped out in recent fighting, accord
ing to recent casualty lists received
here
This regiment was composed of
virtually all the old Fourth Alabama
Infantry, National Guard, and parts of
the First and Second Alabama. The
Fourth was the North Alabama out
mt, the Second the Central Alabama.
and the First the Geutern Alabama
with Mobile as its headquarters.
Colonel William p. Screws. an old
regular army officer, is in command
of the Alabama outfit. He is a SOL
der to his finge~ tips, and his own
fearlessness is reflected in the showing
of the men under him, scores Of whom
have paid the great price in recent
fighting.
The Alabama infantry outfits were
as typical a lot of Southern troops
during the border days as ever got to-
gether, and the Fourth was composed
of lanky mOuntaineers, husky miners
from the great industrial region of
the state, and scions of the noted old
families of the state, bearing honor
ed names.
The South is proud of this Alabama
outfit. Its losses have been very
great; but its sacrifices are worth
while, and the record it has made
is one that will bear comparison with
the record of the sires of the men in
it.-Jackson Daily News.

iiaiu We're delighted with their re-
cent visit to Tulsa, Okla. The 70
union at that place was pronounced
one of the best and most ;n+erost;ne,
ever held. Tulsa is a wealthy and
prosperous city, and the hospitality,
of her patriotic citizens has never
been surpassed and seldom equalled.
Handsome automobiles, street cars
and other means of transportation
were placed at the disposal of her
veterans free of charge, and the gray
uniform served as a passport not
only for the veterans themselves, but
also for the friends who accompanied
them.
There were some liberal contribu-
tions to the Fourth Liberty Loan at
this place and we are all rejoiced
when "old Lafayette" went cover the
top" This happy result we feel is in
great measure due to the untiring
efforts of the patriotic workers in
Oxford and vicinity.
