WALL, Editor and Publisher VERNON, LAMAR CO, ALA. FRIDAY, OCTBER 21, 1887 Vol. II, No. 20 PAGE 1 THE COURIER ONE DOLLAR A YEAR We are in receipt of an issue of the Anniston Hot Blast (piedmont Fair Edition) showing the make up of the progressiveness of its citizens. The war poet Col. James R. Randall, famous in Southern lyrics and whose celebrity could be permanent did it depend on nothing else but the plaintive song “Maryland” is its editor in chief, and Edward Oldham the skillful ex- editor of the Winston (N. C.) her --- manager. Their paper judging from the issue in hand is a model journal of a “model county” replete with not only the news sought by the bustling busy worldlings but also editorial brimming over with literary beauties. The cuts of the different scenes of interest of the city are enough to make the eyes of the immigrant glisten while the graphic accounts of everything noticeable are items of editorial merit. We heartily commend this able and interesting journal to all readers. ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN – [Sunday World] Prof BROWN made a hurried trip to Birmingham last Friday. THE NINTH BABY’S NAME – joke IT SHOULD BE SUPPORTED The newspaper is now recognized as the most important factor in the building up of any town or county, and when the paper has met the obligations devolving upon it, by doing all it can gto build up the country morally, socially, and financially, it then becomes the duty of the town and community for which it labors to give it their heartily support. No community should expect a newspaper to labor for its good without a liberal patronage from the people directly benefited by its efforts. – [Birmingham Herald] MCCORD’S BONANZA – The Pulaski Editor Strikes It Rich And Grows Defiant - (hit a gold mine) LURED TO THEIR DOOM New York Herald – Saturday morning when engineer Newton chanced to stroll down to the Statue of liberty to Bedlam’s Island he saw a circle of dead birds surrounding it. He knew at once what had happened and so did Superintendent Littlefield, who came up at that moment and who has charge of the electric plant on the Island. These gentlemen did not need to be told that the birds had been attracted by the light in the statue’s hand and had dashed themselves to death against it. They gathered the dead birds into a heap, counted them, and found that they numbered 1,375. There were among hem specimens of more than 100 distinct species. The largest bird was a Canadian woodpecker. It measured thirteen inches from wing to wing, and its girth was correspondently great. The smallest bird was one inch long, a lovely plumaged humming bird. An examination proved that the heat of the light had blinded the unfortunate creatures, and that in not a few cases their brains were actually roasted. Strictly speaking, hardly any of them were dashed to death, but were fatally burned and blinded. That thousand so other birds will probably lose their lives in the same way is almost certain. The flame from the statue can be seen by human eyes for thirty-six miles, and as bird’s eyes can certainly see it much further off it goes without saying that during the season of migration many feathered favorites will be lured by it to an untimely and miserable doom.

PAGE 2 THE VERNON COURIER Published Every Friday Vernon, Alabama THE THINGS WE LOVE – Poem CAPTAIN NATHAN HALE – Story Of One Of The Revolutionary Heroes A GREAT TUNNEL – Plans Adopted For Tunneling the Rocky Mountains Under Tray’s Peak One of the most prodigious engineering projects now on the tap is that for tunneling the Rocky Mountains under Tray’s Peak, which rises no less than 14,441 feet above the level of the sea. It sis stated that at 4,441 feet below the peak, by tunneling from east to west for 25m000 feet direct, communication could be opened between the valleys on the Atlantic slope and those on the Pacific side. This would shorten the distance between Denver in Colorado and Salt Lake City in Utah, and consequently the distance between the Missouri River, say at St. Louis, and San Francisco, nearly three hundred miles, and there would be little more required in the way of ascending or descending mountains. Part of the work has already been accomplished. The country from the Missouri to the foot of the Rockies rises gradually in rolling prairie until an elevation is reached of 5,000 feet above the sea level. The Rockies themselves rise at various places to a height exceeding 11,000 feet. Of the twenty most famous passes, only seven are below 10,000 feet, while five are upward of 12,000 and one is 13,000 feet. The point from which it is proposed to tunnel is sixty miles due west from Denver, and, although one of the highest peaks, it is by far the narrowest in the great backbones of the American continent. – [N.

A. COBB, and ye local started for Sulligent on the K. C. M. & B. at 10 a.m. we drove up at the popular old Southern home of G. E. BANKHEAD, which is situated half a mile from Sulligent and which overlooks the beautiful site of this rapidly growing town. At the usual hour for dining we were invited into the dining room where Mrs. BANKHEAD had set a most excellent dinner, as she always does. After dinner we walked down to Sulligent where we saw lumber for a number of business houses piled up. The frame of one building up. The carpenters on the ground to commence the erection of a store house for M. A. COBB, a young man of sterling worth and business capacity equal to any one, and who has been connected for the past six years with one of the largest mercantile houses in Columbus. Next is the firm of OGDEN & Son, who are substantial business gentleman. The next firm is that of our fellow townsman, Mess. RUSH & Co., whom we regret to vie up, but as they are men of push, energy and great business zeal, they desire to go to a new place and grow up with the town, which is destined to be a progressive town. As all towns must have a hotel, R. F. BANKHEAD has purchased the handsomest site in the town to erect one upon and will rapidly push its completion. Various other business and resident buildings will be erected at once. Now it is well enough to speak of the stability of the gentleman mentioned in this: They are men that go to stay, and men who will press forward. With such men there is no reason why Sulligent will not bloom and blossom into a live business town. At 4:30 p.m. the train from Memphis came along and stopped long enough for passengers to get on and off. The train from Birmingham to Memphis passes at 11 a.m. the same day. A great deal of cotton will be hauled to Sulligent. The merchants there propose to buy cotton and will give all it is worth. Eggs worth 10C per dozen. Cotton 8 ½ c delivered at Sulligent on K. C.
