WALL, Editor and Publisher VERNON, LAMAR CO, ALA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1887 Vol. II, No. 25 PAGE 1 THE COURIER ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Probate Judge, ALEXANDER COBB, was born March 5th, 1819. He departed this life on the evening of the 21st of November 1887. His exact age being 68 years, 8 months and 17 days. After two weeks of painful suffering, which this noble, true and good man bore with patience and fortitude, his life went out with the setting of the sun. Just one week before his death he embraced the religion of Jesus Christ, and was admitted into the Church by Rev. G. L. HEWITT and from that day till his death his utterances were praised to God of the brightest kind. One more precious soul has entered in through the beautiful gates to join the minstrel of Heaven and receive the coronation of the pure, the true, and the good into the beautiful home above our departed friend entered, and is now singing the song of redemption. While he is now hidden from our view by the tomb’s dark veil, there is a comfort to the grieving and bereaved hearts that there is one more added to the angels number and soon the veil will be rent, and the one who has only gone before will be waiting and watching at the pearly gate to greet their happy entrance there. Messrs JAS. P. and R. W. YOUNG had the misfortune to lose their gin house by fire, with thirty bales of cotton, on Tuesday last. -----, wife of Mr. ISAAC PENNINGTON, died at her home near town on last Saturday. Three young men, Messrs. SOUTH, MUSGROVE, and WHEELER, of Fayette County are attending the Normal Institute here. They are very gentlemanly and intelligent young men. A young negro boy was on last Sunday evening lodged in jail on charge of maliciously setting fire to sedge grass, thereby endangering the property of Col. G. E. BROWN, at Sulligent. He should be sent to the coal miens for such mischief. It is very gratifying to us to note the return of Rev. Mr. HEWITT to this charge for anther year. Dr. JOSEPH T. MORRIS is Presiding Elder. The Conference will meet at Anniston next year. Next Sunday at 11 a.m. at the M. E. Church South, the Memorial services of Judge ALEXANDER COBB will be conducted in the following manner: Opening exercises by Rev. G. L. HEWITT, Testimonial remarks by Dr. W. L. MORTON, R. E. BRADLEY, J. D. MCCLUSKEY, S. J. SHIELDS, T. B. NESMITH, and Hon R. L. BRADLEY. The friends of the deceased are respectfully invited to attend. By the Pastor Mr. Editor: Allow me to say to your many readers through the columns of your excellent paper, that after spending more than a week in the Town of Vernon that I do not know a more pleasant town nor a more hospitable people. Your county officers, attorneys, and professional men are equal to those of any county in all that goes to make up the character of true gentlemen. Allow me to share the sorrow and affliction of your town in the extreme and long continued illness of “Our most excellent Probate Judge,” and to add my humble petition to the many fervent prayers that have already gone up to Almighty God for his recovery, that he in his wanted health may go in and out again before us to the joy and comfort of all. I must not lay my pen down till I congratulate you on being so fortunate as to have in your midst such an able body of teachers; not by any means overlooking the department of music so ably conducted by Mrs. SHIELDS, and others, Prof. BO+ROWN is certainly the right man in the right place. My heart and head are both “chug” full of many fine things that I would like to say about the people and material resources of Lamar County, but I will only give you this note now. R. G.

BROWN of the Vernon High school has leased the academy buildings for a term of years. We congratulate the Prof. in this transaction and at the same time we are pleased that his stay in our town is permanent. We can but commend Prof. SHOWALTER in reprimanding at the church last Sabbath night, the ugly practice by some, in spitting upon the floor in the house of divine worship. It is wrong and should not be indulged in by gentlemen. The Normal Singing Institute opened Monday morning with 43 day students, and 16 for the night class. The Singing on Sunday night was largely attended and the rendition of several pieces by Profs. SHOWALTER, PERRY and St. CLAIR, was simply grand beyond description. W. W. SIMPSON, Post Office Inspector, was in town this week. He examined the post Office here, and pronounced everything in good order. This is complimentary to the efficient Post Master, Rev. T. W.

On Friday of last week our sanctum was highly honored by the presence of three charming young ladies, Misses ALICE WALLER, DRUCILLA BEARD, of Pickens County, and Miss ETTA ABERNATHY, of Lamar. Friday night last the Vernon High School gave a re-union at the Academy, where rev. R. G. ISBELL made a short talk in the interest of education, interspersing his remarks with a-now-and-then wit of which he is gifted. Capt. SHIELDS was called upon and responded in a short felicitous speech which was well received by all. Then came the beautiful young ladies promenading with the gallant young gentlemen of the school, which is allowed only on those re- unions. All in all the evening was spent very pleasantly and we were pleased to be there. We received by Monday night mail a beautiful wedding card inviting us to the marriage of Miss MAME LIDE ODOM to Mr. JOHN L. BROCK, a the M. C. Church at Hillsboro, Lawrence County, on the evening of the 24th, (yesterday). We regret very much that it was impossible for us to attend. As the contracting parties are friends of us at our native town and county, our heart is full of many warm greetings to them, and a hope that their lives linked together may be one continuous chain of sunshine and happiness.
