To be a successful doctor, farmer, merchant, mechanic, lawyer, or any thing else common sense must predominate in a man’s make up. The trifle old axiom “a little learning is a dangerous thing” is literally true. Too frequently it makes a man either a flippant fool or an arrogant knave. A good common school education is the best start a father can give his son in life. It is richer than any legacy have can bequeath him. Lamar is not behind the times in her school facilities at Vernon, Kennedy, Fernbank, Sulligent, crews, and many other points in the county there are excellent schools under the management of well educated principals, and the expenses at each are moderate. The surest plan of starting your son on the road to success in life is by patronizing this school. You do not perform your duty morally by teaching him how to write his name or read it when some one else writes it. If your son is not at school now, but him there and strain a point to keep him there. THE CROP LIEN LAW The Crop Lien law was left out of the Code of 1886. Before the adoption of the Code it had been repealed as to more than half the state, or more accurately had been repealed and certain counties were excepted from the operation of the act and among them was Lamar……………………. With all the excitement of the mob and the public over the Hawes murder doubtless it has occurred to but few that the legal testimony brought before the Coroners’ jury is very meager………………. The Senate restored the clause in the appropriation bill for the support of normal schools…… THE NEW GENERATION There are many strange freaks in politics. The year eighteen hundred and eighty-eight is fast closing. A glance over the past twelve months, taking in our fair commonwealth from the Tennessee to the Gulf, events signalize the new era in Alabama; not only as to her material progress but as to her matters political…………………… A TENNESSEE TRAGEDY – Two Bothers Engage in a Fight with Negroes Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 14 – PLENTY OF CHEAP WHISKEY Miss E.

Wanted. The gentleman who gave Sheriff METCALFE one dollar to hand to the Courier to send us his name, Sheriff METCALFE having forgotten who gave him the money. Notice! All parties against whom I hold executions, are hereby notified to come forward and settle them by the 1st day of January next as I will proceed to collect after that date. LEE S. METCALFE, Sheriff DOWN BY THE SOUTHERN SEA – (poem) Only one more week remains before the drawing which will positively take place on the 1st day of January 1889. Send in your subscription before that time, and if you do not secure the best prize – or if you do not secure any prize whatever – you will receive the best county paper in Alabama. NOTICE All parties indebted to me are hereby notified to come forward at once and settle or the accounts will be left with an officer for collection. JOHN W. MORTON, Vernon, Ala., Dec. 20, 1888 NOTICE. There seems to be a mistaken idea as to what is required of old subscribers before being entitled to enter the drawing. Every old subscriber is required to pay up in full to the 1st day of last November, and then pay for one year ahead. This makes old and new equal. For instance, an old subscriber whose time expired on Oct. 31st and who pays for one year in advance will not be entitled to enter the drawing. He must pay one year in advance of Nov. 1st. We make that rule so as to make old and new equal. Please remember this. AN ENJOYABLE OCCASION The hospitable house of Esq. W. G. MIDDLETON was a scene of gayety on Friday night last. Prof. HOOD having dismissed school for the holiday, an entertainment was given the young ladies and gentlemen who are attending the Institute. A large company was present, and spent the time most delightfully. HYMENIAL A very elegant quiet wedding occurred on last Sunday at 3 p.m. at the residence of the bride’s mother, Mrs. S. E. HENSON. The parties were Mr. W. W. OGDEN and Miss LULA HENSON. The bride was elegantly dressed in pale blue silk, trimmed in beaded passementrie, and jewelry. Other elegant toilets were worn by ladies present. The gentlemen present were in regulation dress. Judge YOUNG and wife were in attendance, they each being school mates and old time friends of the parties, it was but natural the Judge should be asked to perform the ceremony. The Christmas tree seems to be progressing nicely, and every indication is that we will have a magnificent tree. The tree will be in the Court House on Monday evening next and the distribution of present will begin at 6:30 p.m. Everybody is invited to be present. The committee requests that every person who desires to put present on the tree to have them at the Court House by 3 o’clock Monday evening so that there will be no difficulty in putting all presents on the tree. See notice of land sale in this week’s paper. “Uncle ANDY WHEELER” is offering for sale the best location for a fish trap in the state of Alabama. $100 given away to our subscribers. All new subscribers received between now and the list of January, who pay $1.00 for a year’s subscription to the Courier, and all old subscribers who pay for a year in advance, will be entitled to enter the drawing, which will take place the first day of January 1889 in the following manner. The name of every subscriber will be registered opposite a number and these numbers will be put in a box and drawn there from by a disinterested person.
