TALLADEGA CLUBS DO FINE WORK IN
 CITY'S INTEREST
Country Club Is One Of Most Attractive Spots
 In County

In civic, social and fraternal affairs TalladegH has a splendid array of or. ganiza tions which serve their objects in a most praiseworthy manner. There is not one among them that does not fully meet the obligations resting upon it. It has been noted frequently that the people of Talladega are nearer to. gether than they have ever been before and this is in large measure at tributed to the strong forces which have brought them in more intimate contact.
 Working for various objects and the bettPrment of community life are the Business, Women's club, Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, Civic association. Busi- ness Mems organization among the members of the Country club, Cemetery association, the Settlement club with a settlement home and aH-time worker. United charities, Parent-Teachers clubs, representing the Northside. Cen tral and Graham schools of the city public school system. each organiza tion looking to Improvement of conditions both in the school equipment and in recreational and social work. among the pupils. There is also q general awakening of all the people to their obligations of citizenship.
 In fraternal circles the Masonic bodies, Odd Fellows, Woodmen of the World and Elks flourish. The Tal- ladega Shrine club is live one and not only promotes the welfare of it's membership but frequently affords pleasure to others. The Masonic lodge owns it's temple, a handsome building on Court street, and there the Shrine club has it's rooms also. The Elks own their home and have a loyal member ship. The Woodmen are alive and grow ing and maintain a we'll equipped band,

FINE MARBLE IS
 GREAT INDUSTRY
 FOR SYLACAUGA
Birmingham Post Office And Masonic Temple
 Are Examples

Two of the finest buildings in Bir- mingham-the United States postoffice and the Masonic temple-are built of Sylacauga marble. The giant marble quarries in Syla- Acauga ship their product to all parts of the country, and it is used in fine buildings in almost every state.
 Experts who have looked over the local plants have declared that Syla- cauga marble Is second to none in the wOrld--not even the famous Italian marble.
 The Quarries are working at full speed to fill the stream of orders re- ceived during the past few weeks. They work large numbers of men. and equip ment valued at millions of dollars is used to draw the product from the ground. +s.-
 From far and near persons come to Sylacauga to watch the operations at the quarries.
 Officials of the plants declare that business this year has been even bet ter than usual. Sylacauga is fast gain ing national reputation as a marble production center.

half of public education has proven more satisfactory and more efficient than consolidation. In these schools the children who formerly were fought in one-teacher schools are given the advantages enjoyed by childen of the cities and densely populated commu- mites.
 Teacher Training Work
 The teacher training work of Tal- ladega county is surpassed by that of no county in the state. Of the one hundred and four rural teachers, not less than 99 have attended the regular monthly meetings held by the superin- tendent and supervisor. Every moment of these meetings is filled with interest ing and helpful discussions of the pro- fessional books constituting the course of study, or in discussion of the prob lem commOaSto allS schools. At these meetings, all teachers are provided with outlines covering in each subject the work of a month, the purpose being to show teachers that there is unity in teaching which can never be attained in the assignment of the next -four or five pages" and tha teach assignment should have far more definite pur- pose than that of putting behind them certain number of the ages of the text.
 Talladega's school officials have as their goal the making of their schools models of efficiency and are working on the theory that school should supple. ment the home in preparing for real

Wooing Of Talladega
 By The Sleeping Giant

and it grew to be part of her day, yet she dared not tell her father.
 One day another chief came bearing richer gifts than any of the others and Choccoloccoi swore to Talladega that she must surely wed this time. At the next dawn she told Coosa, for that was his name, that she must marry the next day. He was greatly dis turbed and said he would go to her father himself and ask for her. This seemed of little use, however, for he had no riches. Nevertheless, he ore. sented himself before Choccolocco and made his request. At first the old chief was naughty and said his daughter was already betrothed. Then Coosa dis. played all his accomplishments; he could shoot an arrow farther and truer than any man in the tribe; he was, skilled with the tOmahawk; his strength ex- ceeded them all, and in many ways he was powerful warrior. Among these accomplishments, however. he boasted a greater feat of having the power to become greater than any living man, but the Creeks laughed with derision and tapped their foreheads at this. He had not as yet brought any present to Choccolocco, therefore he begged for time to go on three days journey to get certain calumet which would make the owner more powerful. Finally ChOcoollocco granted his wish and Coosa set out.
 The old chief had demanded that he make his boast real, and, on leaving, Coosa had told them to look toward the west early in the morning and they would see a man greater than any of them. The disappointed lover, though, vas not to be outdone, for he had with his warriors most learned medicine man whom he now ordered to make a powerful sleeping potion from certain herbs. When the rest of the camp was quiet the medicine man put out in the direction Coosa had taken. After awhile he came upon him stretched upon the ground, man bigger than

Long years ago when this county was so blessed it was almost like the Happy Hunting Grounds there lived a tribe of Creeks in this valley. Their chief, Choccolocoo, had no sons, but there was one beautiful daughter al whose birth his faithful squaw had died. This daughter. Talladega, was the most beautiful of all the Creek maidens. She was also clever; she knew basketry and all the arts of her people, but she cared for none of these things, and least of all did she care for men, She loved her father devotedly and he was unusually kind to her. The omens at her birth had been encour- aging, and a medicine man had declared her worthy to be praised. Choccollocco had called his daughter "Talladega, bride of the mighty .one,' hoping that she would marry some great chief and thus carry on his line by worthy de- scendants.
 When Talladega showed no inclina- tion to marry, as all Indian maidens should, he became worried. What the girl cared for most were the noun 'tains, streams, trees and even the ami malls around her. The wild things came to her willingly and she was never happier than when she was alone in the forest.
 Many suitors came, bearing rich gifts, belts of wampum, rare furs, every kind of thing that is valued by an h. dian, but Talladega paid no attention to them. Each time ChOccolOcco would become angry and say she must marry, but she always persuaded him that another chief would come mightier than these.
 One morning at dawn, as she was drawing tine water for the household at the spring, she heard a note unlike any bird she knew, and she knew them all. This was inexpressibly sweet and appealing and caught her heart. She put down the great jar to investigate the sound more closely, but just then her father called to her sharply that he was waiting for his meal. With re-. luctant feet she carried the jar toward the wigwam, When she went back to the spot, search as she might there was nothing to be found. The next morn- ing she went eagerly along the path toward the spring, hoping that the song might be repeated. She was not dis appointed, for as she was drawing the water the sound came again, beseech- ingly tender, then without warning the notes changed and song poured itself out. At first it was so beautiful she did not realize it was a love song, nor did she try to catch the words. While she stood there listening youth parted the bushes on the hillside few paces away. He was tall and powerfully built and his naked body shone in the morning sun like bronze. At his ap- pearance Talladega fled up the trail.
 This began a wooing. Talladega was reluctant but all day long she could not turn her thoughts from the song of the morning nor from the singer himself, for he seemed different from her other suitors. Every dawn she was greeted at the spring by his lOFe song

RECONSTRUCTION

A man came into a Nebraska bank
in the spring Of 1922 and asked for
financial assistance. His statement
prepared in the Service Department
showed he was about bankrupt; that
he owed $1,000 more than his equip
ment was worth. He had farm rent
ed for the year. Further credit had
been refused him in his own bank and
he was about ready to quit and apply
equipment to his debts.
The banks Service Man went with
him to his farm and after an exami-
nation decided that If the farmer had
a half dozen COWS and ten brood sows
he would probably be able to use his
pasture and intended corn crop to ad-
vantage. The bank finally loaned him
$1,000 for this purpose and took a
chattel mortgage on the stock pur-
chased as its security. The bank adj
mitted that ordinarily loan should
not be made like that, but the farm
was close to town and the stock could
readily be resold.
When the end of the year came
around the exact records showed that
the family had been well maintained
and on half of the cream checks; the
other half had been applied on his
$3.50 note at the bank, covering the
loan for the COWS. Five days before
the year was up the principal and in
terest on the note were entirely paid
by crea mchecks. The pigs afforded
a net gain of $1,400 after all expenses
we're paid.
In addition to this financial gain,
the farmer was taught the value of
good cow and the necessity of keep
ing a record of his operations to know
which farm operations are profitable.
The Farm Service Department of the
bank was able to teach this man
things he had never dreamed about.
1t is worth the effort the banks would
be called upon to make if each bank
could but turn one broken, discour-
aged farmer ntD-aapos9ezDus oues-,
