A physician says there is nothing like care or worriment to plow furrows in the forehead, and these are badly marring the faces of our American women. We pass in the streets women of thirty-five whose foreheads are more wrinkled than the brow should be at seventy. Some of these may not have more cares than others, but they unnecessarily yield to the tendency to express them in the face. A three-year-old citizen of Springfield, O., was saying his prayers at this mother’s knee the other evening, and his baby brother in her arms was pulling his hair and pounding his head meanwhile. The boy took no notice of this until he reached the point where he usually spoke of the baby, and then he varied the regular form by adding “And God bless this frisky little fellow and make him grow up a good man.” – [Cleveland Leader] PITH AND POINT – jokes BOARDING AN ICEBERG – A Task Of Much Greater Peril Than One Would At First Imagine. PAGE 2 THE COURIER ALEX A. WALL, Editor and Proprietor Vernon, Alabama Friday, June 3, 1887 There seems to be an epidemic of flux all over the country. We hear of a good many cases in Millville bet. Mr. WILLIE BURNS received a letter from his UNCLE JOE RUSH at Apalachicola, Fla., in which he said the flux was raging down there. Also, Mrs. HUGH PENNINGTON received a letter from her mother at Mooresville, Miss which said the flux was there. The Columbus Index says – Capt. C. A. JOHNSTON and others have appointments to speak at different points on the line of the recent survey of the Tombigbee Railroad. The directors of the new road have aroused themselves and intend going to work in earnest to secure the aide of the people along the line of the contemplated road. The President has denied an application for pardon in the case of James J. Stanley, who was convicted April 13 of fraudulent registration and sentenced to seventy days imprisonment in jail at St. Louis. The President endorsed the application as follows; “I can not pardon a crime against the election law except it be in a case presenting unusual consideration for clemency. I consider such offenses the worst of all crimes, and I know of no punishment which is more important to the public. The St. Louis Great South says: The Tombigbee Rail Road is to be built from Columbus, Miss, to the Tennessee River, a distance of 140 miles, and will pass through a fine agricultural county as well as rich coal and iron deposits and great forests of valuable timber. It is a Columbus enterprise, some $300,000 having been raised by the city and county to aid in its construction. – This is a pleasing proof of the faith the local capitalists there have in their beautiful and substantial city, and such action cannot fail to interest capitalists from abroad to join hands with them in their endeavors to develop the country and build up a magnificent city. THE JURY SYSTEM VINCENT IN NEW QUARTERS Ex-Treasurer Ike Vincent went into new quarters yesterday. He was moved from the iron cell in the prison department proper of the county jail to a room on the second floor in the hospital department. The room he now occupies is larger than the cell and gives him more breathing space. In the day time he will be allowed to walk about and exercise in the corridor. The change gives him more pleasant and healthful quarters more room and more fresh air. – [Adv.] COLUMN 2 FROM KENNEDY Editor Courier: If you will allow us space in your paper we will attempt to give you a few locals from this place. Not being as able with the pen as our contemporary here, we shall not confine our selves to locals entirely. The news of this place is rather meager; in fact everything is moving along in that monotonous manner so peculiar to all little towns at this season of the year. We are enlivened constantly however, by that class of commercial men known as the “drummers’ from the vender of eye glasses to the seller of steam engines. Dr. J.O. KENNEDY is on an excursion to Washington City where he expects to see all the property owned by “Uncle Sam,” the capitol which cost twelve million, the White House, the abode of the Executive of the United States. We think if the Dr. could get a peep into the Green or Blue room he would come back and look at his neat new dwelling that is being erected here, and exclaim, “Oh my! Ho insignificant now. But we much remember that our houses belong to us and the public buildings at Washington are ours too. We know if the Dr. visits the Museum he will be delighted. There is to be seen there all the accumulated curiosities that can be found; from the skull of flat-head Indian, to the brains of Giteau, the assassin of President Garfield. Space will forbid our speaking much of the great Post Office Department, where the nimble fingers of beautiful women are busy breaking open and reading the dead letters that stray in there. Woman’s curiosity is proverbial and we know that they take a delight in this business. Then there is the Navy Yard where all the giant ships are built and sent out to guard the life, liberty and property of the people of the United States. We would like to say a word or too about the Smithsonian Institute, which is a living monument to the generosity of Mr. Smithson, but for fear of that deep abyss, the W. B. we will say no more on that line. Now one or two locals and we shall have done. The High School has closed, and Prof. J. C. Johnson has left for his home carrying the best wishes of all. Misses ROSA RANDOLPH and DIXIE GOURLEY, boarding students of the High school have gone home, we miss them very much. The measles are in our midst, three of Mr. JOHNSTON’S family are down with them now. We learn that the Vernonites are rejoicing over the prospect of having a R. R. running through Vernon, and well they may, for nothing builds up and brings wealth to a town, and gives life and enterprise to its citizens quicker than a R. R. We hope the good people of Vernon will put their shoulders to the wheel in the way of donations, and ere long the shrill whistle of the great iron horse will be heard. Yours truly SIMON MURDER WILL OUT [Hartselle Index] About two week s ago Mrs. Gus Edmonson of near Somerville, was found dead near a little creek where it was reports she had gone fishing. Notwithstanding diligent efforts have been made to ascertain the cause of her death, the whole affair has been wrapped in a mystery until last Monday, while Nancy Clemons a woman of doubtful character, who is now in jail at Somerville, sent for some of the leading men of that town and asked them to listen to their story. She stated that she had gone to Mr. Edmonson to live with them, finding her conduct was not endorsed by Mrs. Edmondson, she agreed with Mr. Edmonson to take the life of Mrs. Edmonson, and thus get her out of the way. The fatal hour was set and while the innocent woman slept, unconscious of the plan concocted, she was seized by Mr. Edmonson and held firm on the bed with her head extended while Nancy caught the heard and continued to twist it until the neck was broken. Edmonson was arrested but while on the way to jail made his escape and up to this writing has not been heard from. A BATTLE WITH A MAD DOG – Atlanta, May 1 STAR OF BETHLEHEM Lexington, Ky., May 24 – A gentleman who has just arrived from Hartford, Ky., states that Prof. John M. Klein, Kentucky’s great astronomer, discovered the star of Bethlehem last night about seven o’clock. Its position is in the north western heavens, closely skirting the horizon. Its luster is most intense. This is the same star that guided the Wise Men of the East top the manger where the infant Savior lay. Its period is about three hundred years, and astronomers have been on the look out for it for several years past. Prof. Klein uses a smoked glass lens, with a mirror, which enables him to detect comets and other heavenly bodies hovering in close proximity to the sun. A comet can by the Klein method be seen in daylight. This important discovery by a Kentucky astronomer has caused a ripple of excitement in scientific circles, and tonight numerous star-gazers will with smoked glasses and mirrors view the historical celestial visitor.
