WALL, Editor and Publisher VERNON, LAMAR CO, ALA. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1887 Vol. II, No. 30 PAGE 1 THE COURIER ONE DOLLAR A YEAR A HAPPY MARRIAGE Last Sunday will be long remembered as one of remarkable interest in the history of Vernon, Lamar having no Probate Judge the general expectation has been that marrying would have to cease until an appointment be made. But such ideas have proven erroneous by the romantic marriage of Dr. F. L. MORTON and Miss EUNICE MCLAINE. About 10 o’clock Christmas morning the bride and groom with a number of friends set out for Lowndes County Mississippi. Though the weather was extremely cold and the snow lay everywhere yet the sun shone forth in all his brilliancy and made a magnificent Christmas Sunday. A more beautiful day could not have been chosen. The scenery along the entire route was grand beyond description. All nature seemed to be attired, especially for the occasion in her costliest robe. The sun shining though the pure crystal snow supported by the green pine boughs afforded a scene rarely excelled in loveliness. At about 2 o’clock pm the merry party arrived at its designation, the residence of Mr. THOMAS SMITH, where Rev. G. L. HWEITT, (after being assured that there could be no question in regard to being on Mississippi soil, performed, in a most solemn manner, the ceremony which made “Two hearts beat as one.” With but a short delay the jovial throng was again on the road speeding gaily in the direction of Vernon. Arriving at Col. T. B. NESMITH’S a few hours later, the bridal party was met by a pleasant crowd of friends and sincere congratulations offered. After an elegant supper at which all fared sumptuously, the crowd retired to the parlor were the remainder of the evening was most pleasantly spent. None could fail to appreciate the excellent music furnished by Mrs. S. J. SHIELDS and Col. NESMITH. Repartee was also indulged in freely.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: I trust that your good patients will indulge me a short time, while I attempt, in my humble way to deliver this valedictory, or rather a tribute of thanks to our kind teacher for their earnest labor with us, in this the Alabama Normal of 1887. Dear Teachers: A few days ago unknown to you your pupils met and selected your humble servant to tender you at the closing exercises of this school their sincere and grateful thanks for your untiring zeal and labor with us for the past month. One month ago many of us met you for the first time. But how wonderfully rapid has been the flight of thirty short but pleasant days, which perhaps under other circumstances would have seemed years and even centuries. One month so fraught with consequences, anxieties, and hopes to you. I hope Sirs that your teaching here will be as bread cast upon the water and will be gathered up here and there as we journey though the fields of song. It may be perchance that your teacher here will cause some one to delve deepest into the science of music. It may have awakened the crystallized poetry in some heart who will surprise the world with his or her sweet song. Or again it may have fired some young heart with a missionary zeal to carry the life giving word to other climes. Be their lustires wheat ever they may upon you they will fall. The bell that called us together for this school has broke the stillness of the morning air the last time. We will hear it no more but in our memory. The songs we have sung together are gone, gone, gone, gone to be heard no more, but in our memory they will ring on and one as we talk and think of brighter days. Your going from us will not be marked by any priceless gift. Neither have I at command the flowers of Rhetoric to decorate these closing scenes. But far more than flowers of Rhetoric, screams of eloquence, or floods or oratory, your Christian fidelity has won for you the upper most seat in our affections which the long ages of time cannot destroy. In after years where ‘er your fortune many carry you let your mind recur back to the time and place when you so endeared yourselves in our heats. This time will ever by a green spot in our memory which time cannot obliterate. Your success we will count as ours and in the trying hours of adversity should such arise our sympathies and prayers are yours. But we must part, how pleasant it would be to remain together, but our errands call us forth and to morrow we will be scattered from Georgia to the lone star state in the far west. But as we journey let us sing, Sing of His power to save, Sing how He bursts the bars of death And triumphed over the grave. We live in a world of change the decree has gone forth and is unalterable We will meet no more as we have met, soon alas too soon some of us will be called to join the silent majority on the echoless shore. These thoughts unnerve and choke my utterance. Sirs, did we control the guiding stars of our fortunes, great indeed would be your portion in this life, and did we hold the seals of your destiny happy would be your portion in Eternity. Now I feel that I have spoken the true sentiments of this school, town, and community, I will add no more. May the Guardian Angel watch over you. May a kind Providence guide and direct you. May we all meet in sun bright climes and sing together throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity is the prayer of your humble servant. R. L. BRADLEY, Dec. 13, 1887 CHRISTMAS MORN – Poem DR. R. L.
