This is something in which every citizen has an interest, and if the people will aid in uniform a company there will be no trouble experienced in organizing a strong company. The Rifles returned yesterday morning at 7:15 o’clock on a freight train over the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham railway from the seat of war in Lamar. They were considerably worn out by the long journey and were glad to get home once more. To the hospitable people of Vernon they desire to return many thanks for kindnesses extended to them during their stay. There was not a single man sick on the return. Strange as it may seem all dispatches from Vernon or Sulligent have failed to give Capt. WEAKLEY the praise that is so justly due him. He deepened the respect and love his men have always had for him by looking after their comforts at all times, and making the trip as pleasant as possible. His soldierly qualities and bearing were not without their impression on the people of Lamar. – [Age-Herald- The Age is correct. Captain Weakly received the commendation of every one for the strict discipline maintained and the attention given his men. Everybody speaks in the highest praise of the soldierly deportment of the Birmingham Rifles while in Vernon.

MILLIONS OF MONEY – It Poured into Johnston from All Over the World WHAT AN ADMINISTRATION – [Pittsburg Post] A CASE OF DEVOTION THE MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER INDIAN TERRITORY Kullychaha, I. T., July 22 Editor Vernon Courier, Dear Sir: With some hesitancy and fear of the waste basket, I take the risk to write a few items from the big Indian Territory. Since the opening of the Oklahoma country to white settlers, our people have been almost crazed over the idea that the Choctaw and Cherokee Nations would soon be opened up for actual settlement. The papers published in Fort Smith and surrounding towns, in Ark. are continually blowing that the above named Nation were anxious to become citizens of the United States. It seems that they want to make an appropriation of 160 acres of land to each Indian, and sell the remainder to the United States, and that the Indian be recognized minor heirs by the government for 20 years. I suppose that is to shield the Indian from the more greedy white man, until he becomes accustomed to his many plans of trade, (or fraud). If my memory serves me right according to an estimate I have seen the Indians would be the richest people in America by quiet (sic) an odds, besides their 160 acres of land, they would be worth twenty million dollars each. If this is correct, I do not wonder neither am I surprised that they are anxious to become citizens of the United States government. But if they will wait 40 or 50 years, there will be so few of the red men, it will be easy job to let them claim citizenship and come into the Union, with out having to buy their territory. There is I suppose at this time ten white men to where there is one Indian in the Choctaw Nation. If this is the case it eh Cherokee Nation, it cannot be a great while till they are entirely extinct as a Nation of people. It is a rare thing to meet a full blooded Indian now, as they are intermarrying with the white people regularly. Well, picnics and barbecues are the go in the Nation and Ark. at present. The Masonic fraternity opened up on a big picnic 24th of June; from that, Wheel Farmers Alliance, Nights of Labor, and old Confederate Soldiers, put in and there has not been a week since but one could have gone to a picnic, if desirous. Corn crops are thought to be as good in the Nation, and along the line in Ark. as they have been in ten years, cotton was kept back by cool weather until the middle of June, but is looking well now.

July 18, 1889 CITIZEN MEETING We give below the resolution adopted by the citizens meeting held last week. We were not furnished a copy for publication last week. Whereas, There is probable cause for believing that there are certain persons living in Lamar County who, from information generally known to the public, are not only cognizant of the BURROWS gang of outlaws but are aiders and abetters of said gang; and Whereas, It is further known to the community that firearms and disguises have been received by a citizen of the county whom the public have good cause to believe is cognizant of the movements of said gang, and that various threats have been made against our citizens by those who are supposed to b harboring, aiding and abetting the said BURROWS gang, and that a good citizen of this county has been brutally assassinated, declaring in his dying hour that RUBE BURROW was the assassin, all of which circumstances create a feeling of insecurity in this county and seriously affect not only the peace but its name; therefore be it resolved by the citizens of Lamar County assembled for the purpose of remedying these deplorable evils. 1. That we denounce the parties so recreant to every duty of true citizens and so lost to all sense of morality and humanity as to aid, abet and harbor these outlaws. 2. That we warn such person that thorough steps will be taken to promptly punish all such acts and that henceforward they will be subject to a vigilant watch upon their action. 3. That we (being constrained that life is insecure and personal right in peril through the nefarious practices of these persons) hereby warn them that should any lawless act occur in the future, or any steps be taken by them to aid or abet outlaws who are warring against the peace and security of our people, that prompt and terrible punishment will be meted out to them. 4. That we pledge ourselves to vigilant watchfulness, and to take every step to eradicate the aforementioned evil that affect he pace and fair name of our county, no matter how severe they may necessarily be to carry out our designs. Resolved. That the resolution is before the adjournment of this meeting, to assemble after the trial of the parties charged with the murder of MOSE GRAVES be printed in the Vernon Courier. Resolved. That the people of Lamar County in meeting assembled, contemplate no lawless action in reference to the evils that have called upon us for deliberation this day. But that we will see that all parties who have in any manner aided in bringing about the present state of affairs, or who continue to do so, shall be brought to justice. Resolved. We depreciate lawless methods, but we consider it necessary, under the existing circumstances that the people should move in the matter and use all lawful methods to secure peace and put down lawlessness, and we pledge ourselves to do. COMMUNICATED Vernon, Ala., Aug. 3 – Editor of the Courier: Your correspondent desires a short space in the columns of your valuable paper, to present a communication to the general public, in reference to the recent excitement attending the arrest and trial of JAMES A. CASH, JOHN T. and ALLEN BURROWN. Since all the facts have been developed in the trial it is to be presumed that many of the sensational reports have proved to be without foundation. The facts developed in the trial should convince all reasonable men that the sentiment against these parties should give way to a sense of justice, and that people should regard them more favorably. The result of the trial shows for itself that an erroneous impression in reference to the murder of MOSES GRAVES regarding these parties has gone forth, and has been fairly contradicted. In reference to the reports that these parties have made many threats against citizens and officers, it is just to say that the Solicitor called the court’s attention to them, and asked that they be held for an investigation of the same, in order to obtain if necessary, a peace bond; and that upon thorough investigation he discovered that there was no evidence on which to base such process. These parties expressed a willingness to make such bond, but as there was nothing on which to base such process it was abandoned. To show the spirit of the parties in this matter, the following is a copy of a letter sent by Mr. J.A . CASH to Mr. JOHN W. MORTON, who is reported as having left the country on account of such reports. Vernon, Ala., August 2, 1889 Mr. JOHN W. MORTON Dear Sir: It has been reported to me that you had left the county on my account. If this is the case you can come back and rest easy, as the report in circulation is all false and such an idea has never entered my mind. And as to your wife who made the affidavit which procured my arrest. I think she did exactly right, and that it was her duty to do so, and I think just as much of her as I ever did, and you too. I also wish you to come out to see me when you come home and we will talk it all over. Respectfully, your friend JAS. A. CASH It is hoped now since all excitement has subsided, that these parties will receive justice in the opinions of all fair minded people, and that the people will receive the assurance of these parties as sincere which are: that they entertain no malice to J. W. MORTON, his wife, and all parties connected with the arrest. That the proceedings were proper, and that they were justified from their standpoint in making the affidavit. “One of the boys” The above communication is published by request. THE MILITARY COMPANY The members of the Rifle Company and all who desire to assist in organizing a good military company in Lamar County are requested to meet at the court room in Vernon Friday evening August 16 at 3 o’clock p.m. It is the purpose and design of the originators to organize a company from the citizen of Vernon and Sulligent and vicinity, and the drills of the company will be held equally during the year in each town, once a month if a sufficient number of men between 16 and 45 years of age will meet me tat the time stated above, I promise the citizens of Lamar a first class military company.
