Langdon, of Mobile For Treasurer, John L. Cobbs, of Montgomery For Auditor, Cyrus D. Hogue, of Perry For Attorney General , Thomas N. McClellan, of Limestone For Superintendent of Education, Solomon Palmer, of Marshall THE PLATFORM There seems to be some misunderstanding among the men who made the platform at the State convention, as to that is meant by the second plank in the same………. COLONEL THOMAS G. JONES An oration delivered by Col. Thomas G. Jones, of Montgomery, at Oakland Cemetery, Atlanta, Ga. on Memorial Day, appears in the constitution of April 27th………….. The Republican State Ticket is as follows: W. T. Ewing, of Etowah for Governor; R. S. Hefflin, of Randolph, for Auditor; John M. Clark, of Lawrence, for Supt. of Education; L. T. Fowler of St. Clair, for Treasurer and Geo. H. Craig, of Dallas, for Attorney General. There was no nomination for Secretary of state and it is said that Clark will not make the race, claiming to be a Greenbacker and not a Republican. It is said that President Cleveland wants Commissioner of Pensions Black to be his mate in the race for President. The Evening Star, a new paper published at Jasper lies before us. The Star is bright and newsy, and may it long continue to shine. We are in receipt of a nicely printed catalogue of the University of Alabama for 1887-88. The commencement exercises commence on Sunday the 17th of June. The Mills bill has been laid over for one week and the appropriation bills will have consideration this week. Early in next week the tariff legislation of the present Congress will be known. The great flood on the Mississippi is subsiding. This year’s flood is the greatest ever known on the Mississippi, and the amount of damage done by the destruction of crops and property is very great. President Cleveland will have a walk over at the St. Louis convention. The only thing calculated to get up any contest is the platform…………. The rumor that James G. Blaine had withdrawn from the Presidential race in favor of Mr. Depew, seems to have been without much foundation………… The extension of the Georgia Pacific R. R. from Columbus to Johnsonville is now an assured fact, as the contracts for the work has been let from Winona to Johnsonville, and will be let in a few days for the work from Columbus to Winona. The route has not been determined from Columbus to Winona, and both Starkville and WestPoint hope to get the road. The road will most likely be built by Starkville as that is the most direct, as well as the best route. Charges that money was used by both the Blaine and Sherman factions at the late Republican convention are being made by members of that convention……….. The Vernon Rifles have forwarded a petition to headquarters for a commission to organize under the State laws. There are forty-four names enrolled. Among the leading men in the movement is Capt. J. S. MCEACHIN, who has been prominently connected with the military of the state, having been prominently connected with the Alabama Corps of Cadets and Captain of the Warrior Guards. Our citizens are taking a commendable pride in the undertaking and before long Lamar will have one of the best military companies it he state. The material for efficient service cannot be excelled in the state. The suggestion of building a Dummy line to the Kansas City from Vernon has been much talked about of late, and the project is altogether a feasible one. The road can be built with forty thousand dollars and with but little more than was offered the Tombigbee road as a mere donation. With a subscription of as much more land as was freely donated to the Tombigbee road the branch could be built and our town people own it. A company controlling eight thousand acres of land in this county would have sufficient backing to build the road. If our people desire to aid an enterprise and get back dollar, for dollar for money paid in this is the kind of a road to help. There is no use giving away your land to a corporation to build a road if they like, or to hold our agreement to donate for years and do nothing. But in an enterprise where the donors are the owners of the road; instead of building a road for some other fellow it would be but an easy task to get twenty thousand acres of land to procure the money on to build the road. ALABAMA DEMOCRACY – Grover Cleveland and Governor Seay Endorsed – Platform NON-RESIDENT NOTICE The State of Alabama, Lamar County IN Chancery, ELISHA ALEXANDER, Complainant Vs.

Mr. BROWN is one of the oldest inhabitants of our county, and knows the history of this county from its earliest days to the present time. He talks of killing deer and bears in this country in his young days as the average boys now do of shooting birds. Assistant Engineer Foster, of the Kansas City, Memphis & Birmingham railroad, commenced last Wednesday at Aberdeen, Miss. to survey a branch road to Columbus, Miss. The distance is about thirty miles and work will commence on the same in a few days. It is estimated that the entire work will be done this summer and that trains will be running into Columbus by fall. The Memphis, Oxford and Tuskaloosa road seems also to be an assured fact and will be built this year. This road also goes by Columbus. Nothing has been heard from the Tombigbee road and it is generally conceded that the prospect for breaking dirt within “three weeks” as reported is quite slim and the completion of the road is set at a date sometime in the future.
