Another game, another commanding victory for Addison. The Class 1A No. 2 Bulldogs rolled past Sulligent 53-0 at A.G. Hicks Stadium on Friday night to earn a spot in the quarterfinals for a second straight year. Elijah Roberts and Zane Smith ran for first-quarter scores before the former connected with a latter on a touchdown pass later in the opening half. Judah Wilkins added a punt return score shortly afterward to help Addison build a 28-0 halftime lead. The Bulldogs continued to dominate after intermission. Joey Wilson had two touchdown runs, Kash Turner also scored short run, and Roberts threw another touchdown pass — his second coming to Wilkins.

The Cullman Times · Holly Pond, AL
Nearby: Holly Pond, ALThe town of Holly Pond may soon be looking to have more control over the types of businesses that are allowed to operate within its town limits. Mayor Carla Hart asked the members of the Holly Pond Town Council if they would be open to considering a type of ordinance that would prohibit what she described as “offensive” businesses from obtaining a business license during the council’s meeting on Monday, Nov. 2. Hart said, at the moment, said that she wasn’t aware of any rumors about any individual business looking to open up shop in Holly Pond and that she didn’t want to limit entire industries other than to say she felt that prohibiting “places that might have pictures with nudity and things in their window” would be in the town’s best interest. “I’m not going to name anything in particular because I’m not that prejudiced against things, but I do think there are some things that shouldn’t be around children,” Hart said.

Nearby: Athens, ALWorld War I drew to a close when Armistice with Germany took effect in 1918. It was the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month — an occasion that prompted President Woodrow Wilson to proclaim November 11 as Armistice Day in the United States. The observance was marked by parades and public gatherings with an emphasis on peace and gratitude for victory. By 1926, annual observances of the day had grown into Congress officially recognizing its significance and encouraging public participation. Then, in 1938, November 11 was recognized as a federal holiday. The increase in U.S. Veterans following the World War II (1935-1945) and the Korean War (1950-1953) broadened the significance of the holiday. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation renaming Armistice Day as Veterans Day, honoring all U.S. veterans past and present.
