May their path through this life be strewed with sweet flowers which are emblematic only of true happiness. Millport on Saturday last was a day of gayety, early in the morning was seen people in very direction wending their way toward the College ground to see and partake in the pleasures of the day. There was quite a large crowd to see the May Queens who had been appointed by the school to be crowned, first the pupils marched from the College to the ground where the throne had been erected. The Queen attendants in the rear. Miss EULAH GORE, a young lady who is in school here was the Queen Misses GERTRUDE and FLORENCE PROPST as first and second maids of honor, who acted their part well, next came the crowning of the little Miss MITTIE BARRENTINE who lives near Caledonia but is now hear (sic) in school. I never saw little children display more dignity gracefulness than did these sweet innocent little maids. MAMIE PHILLIPS made a beautiful little speech and placed the crown upon the head of beautiful little Queen with as much gracefulness as could a much older and experienced person have done. Then came little ANNIE DUNCAN with all her childish simplicity and presented the scepter with some appropriate remarks and a beautiful verse. Then came the compliments of the Queen to her little maids in appreciation of the honors conferred upon her. All in all we think they acquitted themselves admirably well, doing an honor to themselves and those who did not weary in instructing them. After all this we gathered around as well and bountiful table as it will be your happy privilege to meet with soon. Mr. ROBERT L. HARRIS, an evangelist is going to remain in our midst for several days. We truly hope teachings may accomplish great and wonderful good for our little town. Hoping Millport will keep on a boom and that you Mr. Editor will prosper and have many names added to your subscription we remain until heard from again a well wisher. INVITED OUT TO BE KILLED – The Invitation Accepted, but the Inviter Furnished the Funeral – Chicago, May 3 – The Daily News special from Cheyenne, W. T. says: Cowboy Jack Embree served two years in the penitentiary for shooting at E. M. Dixon, a ranchman near Larime. He swore to return and kill Dixon when his sentence expired, and yesterday he rode out to the ranch and invited Dixon to come out and be killed. One of Dixon’s men appeared, and Embree shots him in the arm. Dixon procured a Winchester and started toward the cowboy. As the latter aimed his six shooter at Dixon, the ranchman dropped to the round and the bullet whistled over his head. Then he shot the cowboy dead. A REMARKABLE CASE A Blountsville Special of the 4 to the Age Herald giving the following, The preliminary investigation in the case of the state vs. John Livingston, for the murder of his sister, Miss Ida Livingston was concluded before the Hon. J. W. Ellis, Probate Judge on yesterday…………… MURDER AND SUICIDE Shocking Double Tragedy in Albany, Buried Apart Albany, Ga. May 5 – A shocking double murder and suicide took place here last night in which Wm. Gilmer, a popular young man, killed his wife and then suicided. Last year Gilmer began courting Miss Fannie Wells, the 16-year old daughter of Mr. T. W. Wells. Objection was made by the parents but one night in October the couple eloped and were married. they were forgiven and taken into the Wells household. The mother-in-law made things so unpleasant that Gilmer left both the house and his wife. Subsequently the couple went together again and went to housekeeping. Gilmer then refused to let his wife visit her mother. One night she arose and went to the parent’s residence, where she remained ever since. The husband had been trying to induce his wife to return to him, but she steadfastly refused. Yesterday Gilmer dressed up in his wedding clothes, bought a 38 caliber Smith & Wesson and after dark called upon his wife. He asked her to play a religious tune on the piano in the parlor, to which she consented. He then stated that he wanted to talk privately to her, whereupon Mrs. Wells retired and left the couple together. Mrs. Gilmer sat on the sofa beside her husband. Drawing her to him with his left arm, he said: “I love you, and if you won’t be mine, no one else shall have you.” With the last word he placed his revolver at her forehead and fired. She fell dead at his feet. The report of the revolver brought Mrs. Wells into the room, and “What I have given her, I will give myself,” said Gilmer as he discharged the second load into his own head. The two buried today but not together. A TERRIBLE HAILSTORN – Raleigh N C TRAGEDIES AT WARRIOR – One Miner Found dead in the Woods Another Hurt by Slate Warrior, May 3 – This morning a white miner, Isadore Leroy was found dead in the woods back of Red Row. From all the evidence he had grown melancholy and tired of life and put an end to his life by placing the muzzle of a pistol in his mouth and sending a ball into his brain. Leroy was a native of France, and leaves a wife and two children in Belgium. This is the first suicide ever committed in Warrior. Monroe Murphree, a white miner, was painfully in not dangerously mashed today in the Wolf Den mines by falling slate. Er. Cross, the attending physician says he may recover. A BIG ORDER If the Farmers Alliance throughout the state would pass and carry out resolutions similar to those passed by the Calhoun and Farmersville alliance, the jute bagging trust would die a natural death as far as Alabama is concerned. An office of the Calhoun Alliance tells us that at their last meeting it was resolved their members would use anything except jute bagging, preferring cotton bagging, and any member who should use jute would be expelled. The resolutions of the Farmer’s Alliance, from their secretary, is found in another column, - [Hayneville Citizen] WEATHER CROP BULLETIN Observers report rain two days during the week; this was very much needed in a few localities of the state although most sections report good average precipitation The temperature has been low and the week closes with quite cool weather. In middle and north Alabama fires have been found to be comfortable on several days. There has been an average amount of sunshine. The cool wind days have injured the young cotton quite seriously in the upper portions of the state, and all sections report some damage done to the tender plants. Corn is generally looking very well. F. H. MELL, Director.

Mrs. AGGIE WALL accompanied by Miss LIZZIE HUDSON visited her mother Mrs. SUMMERS this week. County Court was in session Monday with a full docket but most of the cases proved to be worthless. Messrs. L. L. LENDERMAN and J. F. PEARSON, two prominent business men of Millport were in town Monday. The Courier received a pleasant call Tuesday from Mrs. EMMA MORTON, Misses MANERVIA, MOLLIE and LIFFY MORTON. Messrs. R. M. SHEPPARD, C. M. HARKINS and M. SMOTHERS came over from Kennedy Monday and spent the day in town. JAMES J. RAY, Esq. a prominent attorney of Fayette C. H. spent a couple of days in town last week on professional business. Mr. J. P. FROW, of the Wrought Iron Range Company was in town Tuesday taking out license and preparing to canvass this county. The burglars were evidently fooled about two things – the amount of money in the safe and the amount of powder it would take to get into it. Rev. L. M. WIMBERLY has purchased a new mower and rake, and will no doubt be ready to serve the farmers a good turn when oats are ready to harvest. The Teacher’s Institute, which meets here on the 17th promises to be a splendid affair. The Hon. SOLOMON PALMER, State Superintendent of Education is booked for the occasion. The Rev. AARON PENNINGTON is preaching a series of sermons on the parables in the New Testament at this place. The next one will be on the rich man and Lazarus.

SOLOMON PALMER will be present and will deliver two addresses. On Friday night he will talk to the teachers and on Saturday night he will address the public. These talks will be very interesting and instructive, and every body should go out and hear them. County Court was in session Monday with several cases on docket. Some being appeals from Justices Court, but it developed that in the late Code the right to appeal form a justice to the county court had been left out and nothing could be done. Another cases some of the evidence was that at a dance had by the colored folks near Crews Depot, a young man put his arm on a girl’s should, which was thought rather rude by the girl, who deliberately pulled a razor from her stocking with which to teach the young man manners. There was one conviction, two acquittals and two dismissals of appeals for want of jurisdiction of the court. HYMENIAL A happy union was consummated at Mrs. HUGHEY’S near Beaverton last Sunday by the marriage of Prof. J. C. JOHNSON and Miss JULIA E. HUGHEY. Prof. JOHNSON is a student of the Alabama Medical College, and will graduate in Medicine at the next session. They are well fitted by education and refined taste for each other and their many friends congratulate them on their union. The Editor regrets that circumstances prevented his attending the wedding to which he was so kindly invited. Your attention is called to an advertisement in this paper of A. T. Evans & Co., Chicago Ill. who are offering a complete set of family scales for 98 cents. This extremely low price is made to get new customers for to every one to whom a set of scales is sold they mail their catalogue, giving full description and wholesale prices of watches, jewelry sewing machines, books and a large variety of useful household articles. They give such unquestioned bank references as should insure every one that the firm is entirely reliable. NOTICE TO TOWNSHIP SUPERINTENDENTS AND TEACHERS It is exceedingly necessary besides a special requirement of the law, that each Township Superintendent and teacher in the county attend the coming Institutes, which the law requires to be held for the general diffusion of such information as will tend to the promotion of the educational interests of the county; and just here I would say that Township Supts. are specially requested to present, so they may know what disposition has been made at Montgomery of the balances in different townships in the county. Hoping to see the coming Institute attended by the thousands of the friends of education. I am yours very truly B. H. WILKERSON, Co. Supt of Education BLOWN TO PIECES – The County Treasurer’s Safe the Victim and Contents Taken – Only a Few Dollars Loss On Monday morning at about 2 o’clock one of the most terrific explosions ever heard in Vernon startled the citizens in their slumbers. Mr. JAMES B. MACE being closest to the Court House was the first to discover what was up, and ran out barefooted and began to awaken the town. From him we gather the following facts: that when the explosion occurred that it shook his house and rattled the sash in such a way as to cause the entire family to jump up in fright. When he cautiously opened the door he heard persons tramping on broken glass and throwing iron and cement about and at once realized that a safe had been blown open at the Court–house. About this time a man with a dark lantern started across the street toward the stores and closing and opening his lantern at short intervals. When a party of sufficient number had congregated they proceeded to examine the Court House but the burglars had gone. After daylight when the editor came down from breakfast a crowd of solemn looking men were gathered around the Courthouse, and the shattered condition of the Clerk’s office at once told the trouble, and the first words were “the Treasurer’s safe has been blown to pieces and his money is gone.” Judge YOUNG arrived a few minutes later and remarked “I am satisfied that they didn’t get big pay for their trouble.” Circuit Clerk BRADLEY was soon on hand and confirmed this opinion, and very perceptible signs of relief were manifested by the crowd. The shattered condition of the entire surroundings beggars description. The room looked as if a concentrated cyclone had been turned loose in it. Treasurer WOODS who was at his home four miles north of town, was sent for and when he arrived his friends were much relived to know that the amount lost was very small, only a few dollars in coins, perhaps not more than twenty dollars. The burglars had broken into J. B. GILMORE’S shop and procured a chisel and a bar of iron to open the window of the office. Mr. WOODS had taken the advice of Judge YOUNG and others and had deposited his money in bank in Birmingham sometime back, and the good sense of the precaution was plainly illustrated. The damage to the Court House will be about twenty-five dollars, and some to the binding of the books but the inside of the books do not appear to be injured to any great extent. The vouchers were found intact and uninjured. After the loss was ascertained and it was found that such timely precaution had been taken, the experts who had done the job so will seemed to be the butt of the jokes. The blowing up of the safe may perhaps be a benefit to Mr. WOODS, as the Commissioners will no doubt allow him better commissions, and he at some time might have put something in the safe, which proved to be but little more than sheet iron and plastering. The parties who committed the burglary were will acquainted with the surroundings, and left no clue that would point to the guilty parties. SWALLOWED EACH OTHER Mr. Editor: I read in your last issue of a black snake to which was hitched a yoke of oxen, etc. This tale seems to me to be without good common sense. Now listen to the details of the truth and good sense; about the time of this Moscow snake tale I was in that beat traveling to Col. OGDEN’S mill, and on the road on both sides I heard and saw a black snake coming towards me. They met and fought within thirty feet of me; finally exhausted, each one began to swallow the tail of the other, and to my astonishment they swallowed and jerked until they swallowed each other to the head, and there lies a little ball of black snakes. Respectfully TOMAS H. LOWREY TO OUR LADY READERS We have among our exchanges to day the sumptus (sic) May number of that handsome illustrated publication for the ladies, the Paris Fashion Journal and Art Dress Maker, of New York and Cincinnati……….. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT On the 17th day of April 1889, near the close of day little ETHEL HOWEL, one of earth’s brightest jewels was called home after many days of suffering. When she felt that death was near she called her loving parents to her bedside to bid them farewell; told them that she was soon to leave them and told her mama to dry her tears and meet her in heaven, and to bring papa. She then said grandma will you come too? And as if going to sleep she died. She was only eight years old, but a bright and loving child; loved by all who knew her. While we will miss her in the Sunday School and her dear parents when they gather around, their fireside will see her vacant chair that cannot be filled. But what a consoling through to know that she is now a bright angel in heaven and that at it will not be long ere they will meet their child again. God help the bereaved parents to be faithful until death, that they many join their own little ETHEL in the mansions of glory. Mrs. J. N. MCNEIL Mrs. S. E.
