Roanoke Leader December 26, 1934
Last Wednesday afternoon M. P. Craver came around to The Leader office with a 
young man named Duston Pirkle, who exhibited an animal (or what was it?) that he 
caught in the Tallapoosa River at Cravers Ferry. It was called an armadillo. It 
was an utter stranger in this office and was all the more welcome because it was 
dead. Mr. Craver thinks he will have the animal, fish, reptile or what-not 
stuffed and put on exhibition. A good many people in town, we were told, paid 
five cents to see IT.

Additional Comments:
Note: Today in this area you can walk out you front door and see an armadillo, 
but in 1934 that was not the case.
