NE w CREAMERY IN. TALLAP P0OSA MAKES. DA|RY|NG PUP PULAR.
Alexander City Section Looms as Important Dairy
 Center

ALEXANDER CITY, Ala. March 24.-CSpecial.)- )-No state in the union perhaps, has made greater progress in dairyng during the past several gears than Alabama, and this sec ton fas kept pace with the rest of the state.
 Eighteen months ago, when the Alexander City Creamery was estab- lishcd in this city, there were not more than % people, perhaps, en- gagged in the dairy business in this part Of Alabama, because outside of what it took to furnish Alexander City and that shipped elsewhere by the few who engaged in the business there was little demand for dairy products.
 With the establishment of the creamery, however. all of this was changed, and many became interest ed. Quite number of people began adding to their herd of cattle anu others purchased herds outright, and a { the highest point, some thing like 150 people were engaged in dairying to a greater or less extent. This has fluctuated to some extent tine seasons of the year being something of a boost ar draw wback to the busi- ness. $ the weather would be warm in the summer or cold in the winter.
 Spring and summer have been the seasons best adapted to dairying for the people of this section of the state. There are many fine pastures to be found in Tallapoosa and Coosa counties and these pastures are sup piled by an abundance of water.
 Many of those who are engaged in the dairy business are setting aside tracts of land where they are mak- ing their pastures under the direc- ton of the Central of Georgia rail- road which is devoting much time and no little attention to this work.
 BLACKFRIARS GIVE PLAY

An election will be held at Jasper on Monday, March 26, to determine whether or not the qualified cleo tors here want to change the form of their municipal government from an aldermanic to the commission form.
