HOOD and WILKERSON are making an active canvass of the county in the interest of the school. It is said by persons in condition to know that the patronage of the school will be near two hundred. It will be almost a necessity that all the families in Vernon open their doors and board students at a low rate. This is all that is needed to give Vernon one of the best schools in the state. Many persons say that if they could rent houses they would move to town to educate their children. Property owners should note this and see that by building up the school they advance the business and property interests of the town.

It had not been denied that some of the Parmellites had broken the law but the framers administers of that law were more guilty than the Permellite offenders. INDIAN FIGHT Two hands of Indians in the Lasal Mout. Ins. near the Utah Colorado line, engaged in a fight. The fighting was undoubtedly between a nomadic tribe known as Piute, who have not been under the agency protection for over then years and a band of Utes, who were sent from the southern agency where the three Ute commissioners now are, for the purpose of getting the renegades, if possible, to go to the agency and take part in the treaty negotiation.

A FUNNY WORLD – (poem) See Tax Collector’s notice in this issue. Call to see us when you come to town during court. Rev. L. M. WIMBERLEY is at Sulligent this week building a cotton warehouse. Dr. R. L. BRADLEY attended camp meeting in the southern part of the county this week. Mrs. ALICE MCNEIL, of Jasper is visiting her father, Rev. T. W. SPRINGFIELD this week. Mr. JAMES BROWN, a former student of the high school, spent a day or two in town this week. Mr. WILLIAM YOUNG, of Bedford, spent a few days in town this week, the guest of Judge YOUNG. The young folks spent a few hours very pleasantly at Circuit Clerk BRADLEY’S residence Monday evening. The mill of Messrs. THOMAS & CLEARMAN, four miles west of town, was badly damaged by the recent high water. Professors HOOD and WILKERSON are spending the week throughout the county, in the interest of the Institute. The friends of Prof. W. J. MOLLOY will be glad to learn that he is fast recovering from his recent dangerous illness. We are glad to note that Miss HARRIS SPRINGFIELD, who was so dangerously ill last week, has improved very much. A very interesting singing was conducted at the church Sunday night by Messrs. BRADLEY, LIVINGSTON, ALLEN and CHANDLER. Miss MOINA SHIELDS, a charming young lady who has been spending the summer with relatives in town, left Wednesday for her house near Columbus, Miss. The fourth quarterly conference of the Vernon Circuit was held at Lebanon Church, last Sunday, being a change from the announcement made some time ago. The heavy rainfall last week raised Town branch so high that the citizens living on the north side of the branch were unable to get home, but our enterprising young stable keeper, C. F. HALEY, soon had a conveyance ready and loaded all safely home. Next Monday the Circuit Court of this county will convene and remain in session two weeks. Were it not for the felonies that appear on the docket, both civil and criminal could be duly disposed of in four days……….(can’t read)----------- TEACHER’S INSTITUTE -------(cant’ read)-------- WALTER LACKLIN, a colored boy was brought to town this week by a party of citizens who live south of Yellow Creek. A warrant was sworn out under charge of vagrancy and he was brought before the County court. The proof tended to show that he had been lying about in outhouses for several days and when talked to gave very unsatisfactory answers. On the examination of the defendant it was in a very feeble condition and that he had been sick with fever for about two weeks and that he had been all this time without any attention and scarcely any food. Of course he was discharged, and Rev. PETER PHILLIPS, pastor of the colored church took him in charge. His mind is badly rattled with the fever and he is much in need of help from the charitable public. A GOOD MAN GONE A special to the Birmingham Age from Hillsboro, Ala. date Sept. 9th says: We have just received news of the death of Rev. G. M. G. DUNCAN, pastor of the M. E. Church South, at Moulton, Ala. He died sometime after 1 o’clock today.” The death of this good man will be regretted by his many friends through this county, who he served so faithfully, as a pastor of a number of churches. Mr. DUNCAN’S death is a great loss to the church militant. TWO CONDUCTOR’S FIGHT Columbus, Miss., Sept. 10 – A difficulty occurred this morning at Sardis, a flag station east of here on the Georgia Pacific Railway, between A. W. MOORE, a freight conductor, and another conductor named WEST. Particulars not known,. MOORE is a quiet and peaceable man, and his friends here think he must have had abundant provocation. WEST is shot through and through, and will probably die. THURMAN SAYS IT IS ALL RIGHT - Columbus, O., Sept. 10 The Birmingham Age has on foot a project that is worthy of note. It proposes to publish a complete history of Alabama by counties, one county a week until the sixty-six counties are completed. This is a move in the right direction and should have all the encouragement and assistance that is necessary to get up a complete history of the state. A good history of Alabama gotten out in book form would find ready sale. A sham battle take place today at Birmingham. The battle was gotten up by the Birmingham Rifles, who will entertain the visiting companies. Eight companies have said they will take part in the battle, and several others are expected. The Thomas. G. Jones Riflemen were invited to take part, but were not in condition. The opposing sides will be composed entirely of Alabama militia and it is expected that 1,000 men will particulate. 20,000 rounds of ammunition will be used. Large numbers of emigrants from the cold Northwest will come to Alabama this winter. Some steps should be taken to bring Lamar County to their notice. Lamar County, taken altogether is the best county in the state, and we are ready to show why, if any one cares enough for the assertion, to come and investigate. ------(can’t read)---------- ADVANCEMENT IN THE SOUTH - Washington, Sept. 7 [Decatur Free Lance] – Down the river last night there floated a flat boat all the way from Knoxville and on it lodge in rough, but comfortable bunks, was a professional theatro party,………..
