LEIGHTON. Ala. Oct. 2S.-Armis- tice Day will have a double, meaning for this city situated on the main line of the SoutherA railway, in the north western part of Alabama. Besides cele brating November Il as the anniversary of the cessantion of hostilities in the World war, Leighton will observe it's one-hundredth birthday.
 Early days of the county of Colbert will be depicted by a pageant and pa- rade in order that the youth of today may learn of the traditions which have been banded down in Colbert county. It was as tavern stop in the early nineteenth century that Leighton first came into being. Leighton was situated on the old road to Tuscaloosa and she main street of the city is part of the first highway authorized by the leg islature to be constructed in Alabama.
 On Tuscaloosa Road
 The road began in Lauderdale .oun- ty, crossed the Tennessee river at Bain- bridge, "a village no longer in exist ence, passed along the county line of Franklin, through Cross Roads, the present Leighton, and on to Tuscaloosa.
 The legislative set stipulated that the road should follow as closely as pos sible the county line, and where the topography permitted, the old Frank line is still marked by this road.
 The railroad which served Leighton

 Its Founding 100 Years Ago
Armistice Day To Have Double Meaning For
 Valley Town With Historic Background

was the first regularly constructed rail road west of the Allegheny mountains. It originally was part of the old Tus- cumbia- Decatur railroad, and was first operated in 1880 as horse car line.
 It was at Leighton that the first chartered school in Alabama was opened. La Grange college, a Metho- dist institution, was located on the mountain three and one-haf miles out side the line of the present town.
 Before it's construction by federal troops, during the Civil war when Unit ed States forces occupied the Tennes- see valley, La Grange college was the almer mater of many notables.
 Has First Tavern
 The tavern at Leighton, one of the first such buildings to be erected in the Tennessee valley, is known to have served travellers as early as 1915. The structure is still standing. Its pro rrietor was General John Gregg. The site of the school which also was taught by General Gregg before he moved to Texas, is still landmark in this vicinity.
 Another point of interest near Leigh ton, which is today, even in its ruins, a picturesue spot, was the Saunders home stead, m evidence of culture and aris-tocracy.
 Travellers going west can enjoy a fine view of this old building with its turrets and towers and other sugges- tions of English architecture.
