The cotton wagon has made its appearance again. Overcoats were to be seen on the streets yesterday morning. See Tax Collector PENNINGTON’S notice to tax-payers in this issue. Rev. Mr. WILSON filled his regular appointment in town Sunday night. The fine and forfeiture fund failed to get its usual black eye last week. Mrs. BANKHEAD, wife of Congressman BANKHEAD, visited friends in town this week. The teacher’s Institute for Lamar County will meet at Fern Bank tomorrow and continue two days. Sheriff R. P. CAINE and Circuit Clerk R. F. PETERS of Fayette County spent several days in town last week. Esq. P. W. KEMP and Mr. JACK HOPPER of Betts beat have enlisted with the Thomas G. Jones Riflemen. Mr. W. D. BOLIN and family of Crews Depot visited the family of Clerk R. E. BRADLEY in town this week. The guns for the Thomas g. Jones Riflemen have not yet arrived but are expected to reach here this week. Many amusing things happen during our circuit court. A person is always well repaid for a day spent in looking on in the court room. Mr. JAMES DAVIS and Miss ADALINE SMITH were united in marriage at the probate office yesterday morning, Judge W. A. YOUNG officiating. I am still at my old stand, six miles north-east of Vernon, making as good Rolls as ever. JAMES BARNES The Vernon Institute is in a very flourishing condition. New pupils enter almost daily and the enrolment will soon reach one hundred pupils. Our sanctum was brightened this week with a call from a party of charming young ladies – Miss EFFIE WOODS, BUELAH and LULA SPRINGFIELD. Miss JALA GUIN, one of Vernon’s fair and accomplished young ladies who ah been teaching in Walker County, returned home Friday last to the delight of her may friends. Mr. JOHN SHELTON, a prominent citizen of Millport was fined $50 on the charge of shooting with intent to kill JAMES PHILLIPS, another prominent citizen of the same town. The “protracted meeting” will begin at the Methodist church in town Saturday night. Mr. WILSON expects to be assisted by several distinguished ministers, and a gracious revival is hoped for. Sickness on the part of Judge YOUNG kept him and Capt. MCEACHIN from filling their appointment to talk railroad at Millport and Kennedy this week. They speak of going next week. The freedom of the town will be tendered the ex-confederates who assemble in Vernon on the 12th of October next. The proper committees will be in the field in a few days to make the arrangements for a glorious time. The re-union on the 12th will be largely attended if the number of persons who have enquired about it is anything to count from. No less than fifty old soldiers have enquired of the day and asked us to publish the call. Will some one send us a list of the officers in Lamar County who served in the late war, and inform us as to their rank and as to senior officers in the county. This information is necessary for the committees on arrangements in making up the order of the day. The state secured convictions in forty cases with fines amounting to eight- hundred and fourteen dollars. The jury brought in verdicts of not guilty in eight cases, and four were not pressed. The fees of the Solicitor mounted to $589. The cabin occupied by FRANCIS HOLLOWAY, colored, just outside the western corporation line, with nearly all its contents was destroyed by fire on last Friday evening about 1 o’clock. The fire is supposed to have been started by a child dropping fire into some fodder which was piled in some part of the building. The entertainment given by the Bradley Club on last Thursday evening was a perfect success, and everyone present enjoyed the excellent singing. The class was led by Dr. BRADLEY, Profs. CHANDLER, BOYD, MCCULLOUGH and ALLEN, and no one was more highly complimented as a leader than was Sergeant ALLEN. The grand jury failed to indict Mr. JAMES CASH as being an accessory to the murder of MOSES GRAVES. Our reader will remember that Mr. CASH was arrested and brought before the county court, and waived examination and gave bond to await the action of the grand jury, which a above stated failed to indict him. ATTENTION RIFLEMEN Attend regular drill at Vernon September 28, at 2 p.m. at which time you will be equipped with arms. R. J. YOUNG, First Sergt. The post office in Vernon is creating some stir. If a change is made in the postmaster at this place it will be to please the Administration and not the citizens of Vernon and vicinity, who almost unanimously desire Rev. T. W. SPRINGFIELD who has served so long and satisfactorily to continue as post master. One of the grand jury committee who examined the books in the officers of the Judge of Probate and Clerk of the Circuit court informed the editor that the books were “marvels of neatness and elegance.” While we know this all the while, it is gratifying to know that the public is informed of the existence of these facts. The plain chirography of Judge Young and the clear round hand of Clerk BRADLEY may be seen in the records page after page without a blot or blur. As a good receipt book is a household necessity, you can now get the best and latest work extant by purchasing Dr. Chase’s Receipt Book. For sale by S. W. VICE. I will canvass Lamar County for the sale of the above named work during this summer. S. W. VICE, Kennedy, Ala., July 6, 1889 Mr. J. N. MCNEIL, of Kennedy, formerly of this place has accepted a position with the enterprising firm of W. P. BROWN & CO., Columbus, Miss. who are opening up a wholesale department in addition to their large retail establishment. Mr. MCNEIL will be pleased to have his friends call and see him. Wholesale orders will receive careful attention. ATTENTION EX-CONFEDERATES On the 12th day of October next, the Ex-Confederate soldiers of Lamar County are requested to assemble in Vernon for a reunion and to send delegates to the State re-union which meets at Birmingham on the 29th day of October next. The hardships and dangers incident to war naturally bind men with strong ties of friendship and esteem. Our ranks are growing thin and the passions of the conflict are forgotten. We will, like those issues, soon be but a memory, and it is but proper that those who can answer to the roll call should grasp hands again. MANY EX-CONFEDERATES REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY To the Hon. S. H. SPROTT, Judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of Ala. The Grand Jury empanelled and sworn at this term of the court now ask to make this their final report: We have made a personal inspection of the county jail, in regard to its sufficiently for safe keeping of prisoners, their accommodation, and their health and the manner in which it has been kept since the last term of this court, we find the same in good condition in all respects, except we think that new mattresses should be put in the top cell and that the jailor should keep the scraps of food out of the jail so as to keep ants from annoying the prisoners. We have examined the bonds of the county officers and find them in proper shape and sufficiently secured. We have examined also the different offices of the several county officers and so far as we can see they are all well and neatly kept and no illegal fees charged. We append hereto the report of the county treasurer and superintendent of education, which are to be taken as a part of our report. The treasurer has satisfied us that he has the money on deposit to balance his report. Under existing circumstances he does not think it prudent to kept the money here, and we concur with him in that opinion. We have examined into as many cases as we have had the time to investigate. We have undone much work that we could have done if our time had been longer. We have examined 163 witnesses, investigated and partly investigated 110 cases and found forty-seven true bills. We have indicted in all felonies where we thought the evidence warranted indictments and in all misdemeanors where we thought the public good required protection We thank your Honor for the explicit charge given us at the beginning of the court, and the other officers for their kind attention, and now having completed our labors we respectfully ask to be discharged. G. E. BANKHEAD, Foreman, Sept. 14, 1889 The trustees of the proposed Colored High School will meet at Kennedy, Ala. on the 28th of September 1889 for the purpose of said school. The public is respectfully invited to attend. Rev. W. BRAZELE, Pres.

B. PERSONS purchasing property from parties leaving the county, will do well to see that the tax of such persons has been paid, as the state holds a lien on all property for taxes. Therefore I will be necessitated to collect such tax out of property that may have belonged to such taxpayers during the year 1889. J. E. PENNINGTON, Tax Collector for Lamar County Ad for Dr. J. H.
