Firemen Have Quiet
Day After Night Call

Christmas day, although ushered in
by one of the worst fires of the sea-
son, was otherwise comparatively
quiet for the members of the local
fire department. The firemen were
unable to leave the scene of the fire
in the Porter shoe store and the
Young China restaurant until about
o'clock Thursday morning and
then they were perfectly willing to
get little rest. No calls were reg
istered during the day.
1t is curious that but a few minutes
before the call from box 81 on We'd
nesday evening a still alarm actuated
by the sprinkler system in the Pur-
linton block brought the chemical
truck to that building and Chief
Small and other firemen We're look
ing through the building to find the
trouble when the box alarm came In
Nothing necessitating the attention
Of the firemen was discovered in the
Purinton block.

 On His Earn,

OPELIKA. Ala, March S.-(Special Leased Wire. )--Lee county, in line with the progressive counties of the. state, is rapidly developing the poultry industry. A great impetus is given the industry by the plan fostered by the home demonstration agent by which demonstration poultry farms in different sections of the county have been es- tablished. There are ten communities, each having demonstration flock. The work is done according to plans furnished by the poultry extension de- pertinent. A record of eggs laid, sold and price, expense for food, laLor and equipment are kept. At the end of each month records are sent in and graded and advice furnished as to how to proceed further.
 A notable example of what is being done is furnished by H. l.. Condon at Lakecounty, two miles from Opelika, who has one of these demonstration flocks. He has all modern equipment and large flock of White Leghorns. With the chicks already matched and those setting he will soon have 5000 baby chicks on his farm.
 Services To End-The special series of services conducted at First Method ist church by Dr. Andrew Sledd of Emory university, Atlanta, will come to close Sunday night when Dr. Sledd will preache his last sermon.
