 BUILDINGS ARE NEW There are two buildings, both prae- tically new\ and which would do credi, to much larger cities than Cullman, now being used by S90 children in the gram mar grades. The auditorium of the newer building is just being seated, and the first enterajnment to be given in | it will take place on Wednesday, March 30. when there will be a home talent minstrel
 The County High school here,v whose building is a good one, but inadequate to house the more than 300 students in attendance, is located in grove of oaks, just north of town. Fl G. Bowling is the efficient and popular principal of this school.
 One of the most attractive spots in north Alabama is St. Bernard college located, one mile from Cullman The beautiful buildings, the large swimming pool and the artistically arranged grounds make thIs an ideal place to ed ucate boy. And just a short distance from St. Bernards is the girls$ school Sacred Heart academy. It is much new CT than St. Bernard. and will in time be made equally as attractive

This is demonstrated in no better way than in the magnificent church buildings erected here within tho past few years The Sacred Heart church here is said to be the most mag nificent. structure of the kind south of the Ohio river. It is of gray stone, anl of very pleasing architecture
 Then with comparatively few funds to begin with the Christian church has just been completed here at cost of about $S5,000. Dr. B. F. Foster, the pop ular minister, was untiring in his eff forts to erect this church and his people responded nobly.
 The Baptist church is new and we'll equipped, as is the Methodist In addl- tion to these, there are two very live Lutheran churches and a Methodist and Baptist church located in West Cullman If any single institution in Cullmaa could be chosen as nearer to the hearts of the people than any other. the Inde- dependent Order of Odd Fellows Hone for Orphan Children here would be per haps selected e.rs.
 HOME IS MODERN
 This home IS iocatel Just north of tn city, and is plainly visible from the rall- road It's spacious buildings and we'll kept lawns afford the home comforts and surroundings to 100 motherless and fatherless children and give them chance in life.
 A large number of the citizens of the town went out Friday, each carrying three dozen dyed Easter eggs to give the children the glorious thrills of, find ing the colored eggs in the clover and grass of the home grounds.
 A movement is now on foot to organ ,ze Kiwanis club among the business men of the city. There are many fra ternties with chapters in Cullman. and the American Legion is a favorite or sanizaton among the younger men of the town and county. Capt. W. F. James, Lieut.. Robert Rosson and Pvt. John Nuss are the offfers of this or ganization.

Then, too the acres and acres of straw berry fields are now in full blossom, and unless there is hard freeze Cullmaa will have ripe strawberries on the mar ket within three weeks, according to the truck growers.
 MEANS THOUSANDS
 The strawberries brought 5000 per car last year It is estimated that they will bring $500 this season. There will be about 75 carloads shipped from here, and this will mean over sloo.OO0 turned loose to relieve conditions.
 Cullman county is said to have more of a cash market than any other county in the state. Cotton is raised, about 30000 bales per year. but in addition 70 this, there is rarely a time throughout the year when the Cullman farmer has not potatoes, chickens, fruits, etc., to sell. Thus the slump in the price of cot ton does not mean absolute ruin to them.
 Very little hay and feedstuff of any kind is being sold in this section now. This means that the farmers are raising lntlT oWI lttu. 4>p tOi II PloStiSsbilS WdS shipped in this year, the farmers having enough for their own use.
 SCIENTIFIC FARMING
 The sum of s20,OoO was realized here this spring through the shipment of 10 carloads of "whippoorwill' peas And thousands of dollars worth of crossties were sold to the railroad here.
 Cullman county soil is poor, compared with that of many other counties of the state. The secret of the success here is that the people handle their farms scientifically. There are no large plan tations in the county. each farmer own ing only small tract and tending this himself Thus. the renter class of peo- pie is done away with. And these small land owners plant orchards, live in pans ed and well-kept homes, take care of their stock and, in other words get d good living off of land which planter from the more fertile sections of the state would consider not worth culti- vating
