WALL, Editor and Publisher VERNON, LAMAR CO, ALA. FRIDAY, February 24, 1888 Vol. II, No. 38 PAGE 1 THE COURIER ONE DOLLAR A YEAR A call has been issued for the meeting of the Republican Executive Committee at Montgomery on March 6th. When a pretty girl tells a young man he is “very saucy: he had better begin to save money. He’s got her, sure. A cave has been discovered near Huntsville, which rivals the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky. The cave has been christened Shelta’s Rock in honor of the discoverer’s daughter. In all probability the stars on the nation’s “spangled banner’ will during the present year be increased from thirty-eight to forty-one, by the admission of Dakota, Montana and Washington to the sisterhood of States. Mr. JERRY PENNINGTON, as will be seen in other places in today’s paper, desires to be elected to the office of Sheriff. Mr. Pennington has had considerable experience in the capacity of Sheriff and deputy, and is well qualified to fill the office of High Sheriff. He is a steady, sober and energetic gentleman and worthy of the office of Sheriff of Lamar County. George Arnold, of Battle Creek, Mich. was sentenced the other day to thirty days in the county jail for larceny. The court officers were too busy to take Arnold to Marshall, where the jail is, and so he said he’d go alone. They took him at his word, gave him a railroad ticket and started him off. He reached the jail all right, and reported to the sheriff, who was so surprised that he would of believe Arnold’s story until the court officers by telegraph, assured him that George ought to be locked up. -------------------- VALEDICTORY With this issue of the Courier we bid its many intelligent readers adieu: this we regret from the fact they have been kind and liberal in the support of the paper, and which we sincerely appreciate. The one great cause of our disposing of the courier was financial encumbrance. We have a family to care for, and could not stand to be crushed, as we might have been, had we not sold. The flood of destruction was just about to be turned upon us, and knowing our duty to our family we shut down the gate before the tide came. So now we say, farewell to the readers of the Courier in the journalistic field. ALEX. A. WALL TO THE PEOPLE OF LAMAR Believing that the generous and cultured people of Lamar County will support and appreciate a paper devoted to the development of our natural resources and the common good of our whole people, the undersigned will commence with the next issue of the Courier to publish a paper with that aim in view. The publishers desire to say that no expense will be spared in procuring the services of competent editors and correspondents to make the Courier lead this section in that line of journalism, which encouraging the development of the wonderful resources of our country. The courier will be a friend to Religion, Morality and Education, and its columns shall be clean and fit for your children to read. The publishers propose to make the paper a success and to publish it in the interest of the public alone; firmly believing that such a paper will be sustained in Lamar County. Very Respectfully, Courier Pub. Co. WASHINGTON’S LOG CABIN EDITOR MCNATT SHOT and Attorney Wendell’s Throat Cut at Pratt Mines, Ala – [Birmingham Herald] Between 4 and 5 o’clock on the evening of the 15th inst. a difficulty arose at Pratt Mines between E. J. MCNATT, editor of the Pratt Mines and Ensley City Advertiser, and J. B. WNDEAL, an attorney and real estate agent, which resulted quite seriously to both parties. The editor cut the attorney’s throat with a pen knife inflicting a wound about three inches long and half an inch deep below the left ear, laying bare the jugular vein; while the attorney shot the editor in the mouth with a 32 caliber Smith & Wesson pistol, the ball entering the left side of his upper lip, knocking out three teeth, and coming out on the right side. Drs. T. J. BROWN and ROBERT COTTON dressed Wendell’s wound, while Drs. G. W. BROWN, J. M. NAFF and WM. GRIFFITH were summoned and gave their attention to the editor. At 12 o’clock the same night both the wounded men were resting easy, and barring complications that may arise they were not thought to be fatally hurt. It seems that formerly Mr. Wendell did advertising work for Mr. MCNATT, and that they finally agreeing that they could not agree, they separated, MCNATT buying Wendell out, and giving him notes in payment. Wednesday morning they had a quarrel and the lie was passed. In the afternoon Mr. MCNATT came to Birmingham on the dummy and returned at 4 o’clock. Wendell met him at the station, and they walked up town together, engaged in a heated argument, the while concerning a final settlement of their affairs. They walked down the street together and into R. R. Stobert’s store, where the attorney used very insulting language toward the editor, which the latter resented by drawing his knife and cutting an ugly gash on his throat. The attorney drew his pistol almost at the same time and began firing. Mrs. MCNATT, who was standing by, rushing between the men knocked up the pistol, and the first shot struck the wall, the next shot struck MCNATT in the mouth and the third and last buried itself in a box of Limburger cheese. Both Messrs. MCNATT and WENDELL are married men and have always borne the reputation of being peaceable and quiet citizens. Mr. WENDELL was said to be drinking at the time of the difficulty.
