Thurman, of Ohio For Congressman, John H. Bankhead of Fayette Mr. Blaine is running the Republican campaign…………… We are having an article prepared giving full instructions as how to execute a deed, which will be worth something to every person who buys or takes any kind of conveyance of property Perhaps it would be safe to say that one third of the deeds in this county are in some way defective. The legislature will convene in a little over a month, and at this early day, the bills that are prepared for amending the code are in excess of anything before in the history of the state. Take it altogether, the present code is by far the best one that the state has ever had and any wholesale amending will result in confusion and confusion brings the law into disrepute. It is proposed by certain manufacturers of cotton send oil to make it displace the hog lard now in so general use in the country. The cotton seed oil is certainly preferable if it is adapted to the uses made of lard. As to why it should not be as good as the oil of the olive no one can tell. Great things are yet in store for the South. The Solicitor’s fees at the last term of the Circuit court was considerably over $600. In last weeks paper we complained of the unequal burden that is being borne by this county in the payment of Solicitors salaries. This county pays at the present rate seven hundred dollars more than would be the share under an equal adjustment of these fees. The law it is true contemplates that the surplus is to be returned to the counties in proportion to the amount paid in, but so far there has been no surplus and this fund being about fifteen thousand dollars behind with the state, it is not probable that there will be anything to return for a long while. President Cleveland has solidified the Irish vote on himself by his message on the fishery treaty…….. The yellow fever is abating and business will soon boom up and big things may be looked for in Alabama. There will be a great flow of money and people from the cold North-west to Alabama during the coming winter. Several railroads will be built and the prospect for another road through Lamar County is very good. All roads now are built toward the coal fields it matter snot where they start. It is said that only about fifty members of the House of Representatives are now at Washington. They are simply waiting for the Senate substitute of the Mills bill. It is thought that Congress will adjourn by the 15th of the present month. THE STATE TREASURY Today closes the fiscal year of the state. There was in the Treasury last night the sum of………….. CHARLIE DIGGINS Charlie Diggins is a little ginger-cake colored negro, about 15 years old, about three feet tall. He claims to be a native of Houston County, and has been raising considerable sensation among the negroes of Milledgeville, by his marvelous manner of preaching the gospel. He has completely captivated the negroes of that place, who flock to hear him in droves and shout “amen” a this every utterance. He presents quite an odd appearance, walking back and forth behind the tall pulpit but his earnest and simple appeals find ready reception in the hearts of his congregation very rapidly, and, although eh uses very simple language, he never lacks for a word. He gave his congregation an imaginary trip to hell on night last week and wound up his sermon with a picture of heaven. ……………. THE YELLOW FEVER Decatur, Ala., Oct. 2 – Four new cases are reported and two others are thought to be yellow fever. Eighteen cases are now under treatment. Among the number of cases is Capt. J. B. STEWART, who returned yesterday from Hanceville, who attended his son, who died Sunday evening. The majority of cases on hand now are colored. WORDS OF WISDOM – (various proverbial sayings)------------ Mr. G. W. HARRISON, the butcher, has had a very touching experience. His mother, who was a widow, married when he was a very small boy……………..[Fort Payne Journal] SCALPERS SCALPED Chicago, Sept. 30 – The hundred and odd railway ticket scalpers in this city were yesterday victimized to the amount of about $5,000…………………. Cherokee County has been having a lively contest over the election of tax collector. Mr. John H. Vandiver, according to the official count, was elected over Mr. W. B. Tripple, by a plurality of ten votes. Mr. Tripple contested the election which occupied four days in the probate court, and included all the lawyers in Cherokee county. The contest was decided in favor of Mr. John H. Vandiver, who has just served the county four years as sheriff. The fine exhibit of Cherokee county prepared for the fair at Rome was entirely destroyed by fire at Centre on Saturday evening. The collection consisted of some thirty or forty varieties of woods and valuable timbers, which had been gathered with great care and under difficulties. It is too late now to get up anther exhibit. Mr. Fred Sloss, one of the principal stockholders in the Pioneer Glass Company……… The steel car company is said to be constructing a fire proof steel car at Boston…………..

Respectfully E. W. BROCK KANSAS CITY, FT. SCOTT & Memphis Railroad. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 28, 1888. Memphis, the gateway to the South and South- east, having withdrawn quarantine restrictions, imposed as protection against yellow fever at remote southern points, there is now no obstruction to travel via this route. Memphis is one of the most cleanly and healthy cities in this country; during the late epidemic south there has not been a case of yellow fever at Memphis or within the state of Tennessee. J. E. LOCKWOOD, Gen’l Pass and T. Agt. EXPERIENCE – (poem) Chinquapin hunting is the order of the day now. Chancery court convenes here on the 15th of October. Several new advertisements appear in the Courier this week. Frost has been reported several mornings during the past week. Prof. WILKERSON’S new house is now in the hands of the painters. The Institute opened Monday with sixty students in attendance. Mr. J. R. BANKHEAD of Sulligent will spend the winter in Aberdeen. The circus advertised to be at Sulligent last Friday did not put in its appearance. LUTHER METCALFE, the negro boy confined in jail, was sentenced to the penitentiary for two years on the charge of burglary. Dr. BRADLEY and class left for Tabernacle Saturday morning and returned Sunday night, all report a very pleasant time. See the advertisement of BROCK & CREW of Crews Depot in this issue. When you want to sell your cotton and buy goods give them a call. This has been a very healthy season for Lamar County. The doctors have done less this year than any in the history of the country. The Riflemen met for drill Tuesday evening. Two new members were elected, Sheriff METCALFE and Prof. HOOD. Several more are expected to join next meeting. The county organization of the Farmer’s Alliance met at the Furnace Church 2 miles west of town Wednesday. We are not informed, however, as to any of the proceedings. At the last term of the circuit court convictions were had in 34 cases with fines amounting to $595. The Solicitor’s fees amounted to 607.50, being $200 more than our guess last week. The following are the pupils who entered the Institute from abroad this week. Misses SUE SULLIVAN and VINIA PENNINGTON; Messrs. SYLVESTER JONES, JULIUS BOYD, JOHN TURNER, WALTER WOODS, J. T. COLVIN, and ROBERT ERVIN. Judge SPROTT and Solicitor SMITH left for their home n Livingston on Thursday evening of last week, where they will spend a week’s vacation. They were forced to go through the country on account of the quarantine regulations on the A. G. S. Railroad. The cold weather for the past week has relived the anxiety concerning yellow fever and the quarantine was raided Monday. While the reports from Jacksonville and other points are about the same as during the warm weather the fever has broken out in no new places. KENNEDY DOTS The editor spent Monday in Lamar’s most progressive town, Kennedy. The business done in this town is the largest between Columbus and Birmingham, but like all other places, has suffered by the yellow fever scare on account of the delay in receiving goods, caused from the stopping of trains. Kennedy has nine stores - all well filled with a general assortment of goods, and very nearly, if not all the merchants, buy cotton. Over three hundred bales of cotton were received there during the month of September and the efficient station agent of the Georgia Pacific. Mr. H. G. NICHOLSON is kept quite busy delivering goods and shipping cotton. New buildings are continuously being erected, material is one the ground for the erection of a commodious school building, and the citizens hope to soon have a good school established. While in Kennedy, we were entertained at the WALKER house, and a more delightful place for a traveler to stop cannot be found in the state. IRON’S RETURN When the report gained currency yesterday afternoon that FRANK IRION would arrive on a certain train during the night, it caused no end of talk…………… (Birmingham Herald] VERDICT IN FOUR MINUTES Chicago, Sept 28 – A dispatch from Detroit, Mich. says: “About fifteen of the thirty-three women who were married to James W. Brown, the champion benedict, since 1883, confronted him in the recorder’s court yesterday. Brown’s method was to advertise for a housekeeper, select as a victim the one from among the applicants who please him most, and marry her as soon as possible. He would desert her after a few days. Five clergymen of the city certified to marrying Brown to as many different women, and the case against him was so clear that the prosecutor left it to the jury without argument. The jury took but four minutes to find him guilty. Sentence was deferred for the court to investigate Brown’s career still further.” SHE’LL DO TO TIE TO Rosa Wise, a young girl of Meridian, Miss had five cents given to her as a joke for a birthday present. She bought a yard of calico with it and made a sun bonnet, which she sold for forty cents. This she invented in more calico, made it up, sold the garments and reinvested the capital until she had $10. With this she bought potatoes, planted them, paid for the cultivation of her crop, for gathering and carting to town, and made $50 clean profit. – [Birmingham News] HE HAD SILENCE Ads for Hall’s Catarrh Cure SHERIFF’S SALE Circuit Court, Lamar County, Alabama Fall Term, 1888 NANNIE L.
