PAYNE, a highly respected citizen of that place, was shot from ambush, and killed by an unknown assassin. He was a witness against moon shiners in the United States Court at Huntsville and the deed is laid at the door of one of them. Much indignation is expressed over the cowardly crime.” HALLS MILL ITEMS W. B. MOSES made a trip to Guin last week and reports cotton dull. How long will our farmers procrastinate the things they ought to do? We are sorry to note the severe illness of the infant of J. D. CLAY, and hope for it a speedy recovery. Dr. GUYTON, W. A. HALL and others are bustling around trying to get off to Texas by the 15th inst. Mr. Editor, what per cent of the emigrants do you think would like to have a situation back in old Marion ere a year rolls around. Mrs. LEAH POPE is quite sick at this writing but we hope she may be quite well again soon. HENRY MAYS caught the finest specimen of the finny tribe on last Thursday that has been brought to land in this section. Henry thinks he can rake them in now. We hope to see the time in the near future when our farmers will quit trusting to broken down office seekers for a living and go to raising their supplies at home. Then we can say farewell to the Alliance, white caps, etc. and be our own men. J. A. M., Halls Mill, Nov. 2 CRIME IN LAWRENCE COUNTY A special from Moulton says: At the present time this (Lawrence) county seems to be in the midst of a season of lawlessness and crime. About a month since the cotton gin and mill of BYNUM & CO. at Courtland was burned by some fire bug, entailing a loss of $7,000. Last Tuesday night TOM HIGDON was called to his door, about six miles from this town, and shot dead by young KEY. The day following, KELLEY PAINE, who lived on the edge of the mountain, was ambushed by some unknown party and now lies at the verge of death from gun shot wounds in the back. Saturday night the house of H. B. IRWIN was west on fire while occupied by the family, all of whom fortunately escaped. A few articles of furniture were saved from the lower rooms, but the horse and everything contained in the upper rooms were soon reduced to ashes. The loss is quite a severe one, as the house was quite a substantial residence and well furnished. The supposition is that the last named house was fired by the white caps. A great many gins have been posted in the county, and Mr. IRWIN, together with all of the good citizens of the county, have been using every means in their power to run down the dastards. HEFLIN SURRENDERS Ackerman, Miss, Oct. 31 W. L. HEFLIN, the man who shot and killed R. W. B. SHUMAKER in this town on October 16, has come in and surrendered to the authorities. He will have a preliminary trial at Chester tomorrow before Mayor B. C. MCGARRITY and S. G. TOWNLEY and M. F. TOLLERSON, Justices of the Peace. District Attorney Hill to conduct the prosecution.

Nov 8, 1893. One Dollar a year LOCALS Educate! Where are the trustees? Give us a winter school. Quite a crowd in town Monday. What is the school building for anyway? Doubt is aroused when suspicion is awakened. RUS PEARCE, of Bexar, was here Monday. A. A. WALL, of Guin, was here last week. A ray of hope makes the prospect brighter. To our correspondents we extend a hearty welcome. Greed will take advantage of every opportunity that is offered. Those who are rightly inclined lean to the side of virtue. JOHN A. POPE, of Crews, was on our streets last Monday. When insult is added to injury difficulties begin to multiply. W. H. MATTHEWS, of Guin, was here last week on business. Ambition looks for opportunity, but energy seeks and finds it. Every man is a Job when the boils are on some other fellows. JOHN J. BULL, of Bear Creek, was here on business the first of the week. County Superintendent BOTTOMS was in town last Saturday and gave us a pleasant call. E. VICKERY, of Winfield, was a welcome caller at the Free Press office on last Monday. Mrs. SUSAN FORD and children, of near Hackleburgh, visited relatives in town last week. Rev. J. R. HOLILDAY, of near Barnesville, gave us a short call while in town on Monday last. Stop croaking about hard times and give your boys and girls a chance to educate themselves. Miss ANNIE CANTRELL, of Barnesville, spent part of last week with relatives at this place. Miss MOLLIE BARKER, of Lamar County, is visiting the family of her uncle, A. J. STANFORD, Esq. JIM HAMILTON is at Street Springs this week, attending a singing school taught by Prof. JOUDON. Rev. J. W. COWAN will preach his last sermon before leaving for conference on next Friday night. Mrs. C. M. GOGGANS and little son, of near Barnesville, visited relatives near town the latter part of last week. The Free Press is not going to “shut up” until our people decide to “put up.” A school we need and a school we must have. If you take only a slight glance at the columns of the Free Press this week the “ad” of HAMILTON & TERRELL cannot fail to catch your eye. GEORGE NORTHAM of near Hamilton left with his family yesterday morning to seek a home in the Indian Territory. George has our best wishes for success. Miss MAUD PRATT and her brother AD, of Guin, were here Saturday. Miss Maud stood an examination before the educational board and will teach this winter. And the cemetery is yet covered with weeds, briars, and brush. The dead can make no appeals but our citizens should lose no time in formulating a plan of action and then act. FROM NASHVILLE Editor Free Press- Your newsy sheet has made its advent to Marion since I last took my departure of her. It is useless for me to say that such a visitor coming from home is truly welcome. While the city ahs many attractions for me, yet I often find my mind inclined to wander back to the hills and brooks of my old home. The schools of Nashville are all in fine progress, business is apparently fair and the crops of this state are reported good. The tomb of James K. Polk, tenth president, is being removed from his old residence in this city to the capital grounds. Great men live an active life, indeed, and yet their bones are often not allowed to rest in peace. The lectures season is now here. Students have excellent opportunities here of hearing some of the best lecturers to today’s platform. Each college now has its own lecture course, besides other lectures of a more general character. Last week I had the pleasure of hearing Ex-Governor “Bob” Taylor deliver his famous lecture on The Paradise of Fools. The ticket read as follows; “Paradise of Fools – admit one.” After being admitted I found we were there by a large majority. It was a most excellent lecture. His parody on “the Man in the Moon’ and “after the Ball” were very comical. Nashville has many schools and hence the name Athens of the South. There are schools here for businessmen, preachers, teachers, lawyers, and doctors, but none of them, probably, effect the interests of the south so much as the University of Nashville: Peabody Normal College. The purpose of this college is to prepare teachers for our south land. Those who are to take the crude marble of our land and chisel out the future citizen and living statue of our civilization. Questions have been asked about the Peabody fund, where has it gone? A glance at the list of trustees shows that Hon. H. M. Somerville of Alabama, Hon. J. L. McCurry of Washington and President Cleveland are members of the board. No further argument is needed to prove that this fund has gone to the right place; that is to the education of teachers for this grand country, the home of the free and the brave. Mr. Editor, please pardon me for saying so much about our school, but I hope that soje of your readers may feel as I do that Alabama needs more prepared teachers and make an effort to rise to a higher plain in this sphere. Respectfully, W. T. M. – Peabody N. College, Nashville, Tenn. Nov 6 BEAR CREEK LOCALS The Free Press has been received and highly appreciated. Miss STRATTIE ALLEN has been visiting relatives at Isbell for a few weeks. Mrs. VIRGINIA SRYGLEY visited Russellville one day this week. Our school this winter is in charge of Miss MAGGIE GRESHAM, of Mars Hill. She is a good teacher. The boys have organized an interesting debating society. They meet every Friday night. We have also a nice literary society under the management of the young ladies. This society is named in honor of ALICE and PHOEBE CARY, and, by the way, Mr. Editor, if you come across any writings from their pen, please save them for us. Miss VIC PHILLIPS has been quite sick, but under the treatment of Dr. J. M. CLARK, of Russellville, she is improving fast. PHOEBE, Bear Creek, No. 3 CRIS (sic) and LEE SIDES were given a trial before Judge Banks at jasper on last Monday and allowed bail in the sum of ten thousand and fifteen thousand dollars respectively. It is thought they will make bond. Judge Ford has received the warrants for the needy Confederate soldiers, and applicants may now come forward. DETROIT LETTER Editor Free Press: I wanted to be in time to say something upon the birth of your new paper but as the kid has discarded its swaddling clothes and taken its merited place among the leading journals of our country, it would be doing it an injustice to even intimate that it had not always existed. So without further comment I will proceed to give you the locals from this place. A strange ---- attempted to outrage Miss LOVIE SMITH yesterday evening while she was at the cow lot attending the cattle. It seems that the ---- had secreted himself in a stable and when Miss SMITH passed near he seized her. She screamed and he attempted to choke her but Mrs. SMITH came at once upon the ground and succeeded in scaring the brute off without accomplishing his hellish design. Mrs. THOMAS E. SMITH, the father of the young lady, lives on his farm about three miles east of town and is one of our best citizens, with one of the nicest families in the community. Our citizens are very indignant over the matter, and every effort is being made to capture the brute, and if caught he will no doubt be the hero of a necktie party Miss MADGE STANLEY, with her little brothers, JOHN and JIM, are visiting relatives at this place. Mrs. LONIE COBB, of Itasca, Texas, is visiting here. Mrs. Judge COBB, of Vernon visited Detroit this week. Dr. W. S. HOLLADAY, of Bexar, was on our streets this week. Dr. OSCAR KENNEDY, from Rara Avis, Miss. has located with us to administer unto the sick. J. H. DAVIDSON is clerking for a short while for J. LO. GUTHRIE at Sulligent. J. C. BROWN, from Florida, is back on a visit. R. R. FITE, Esq. of your place was here last Saturday. Your correspondent has just discovered the cause of all these “hard time” we are now having. It’s “over production.” J. F. WHITE has too many clocks and they are making too much “time.” It’s time a great deal of “time” is now being consumed in Washington and the demand for time is unusually great everywhere, and yet its “hard” time and Mr. WHITE’S little nickel-plated Waterbury’s just keep piling it up, second upon to of second. What a pity! CLIP, Detroit, November 3 WINFIELD NEWS Editor press: Dead? No, not quite. You are well, thank you, how am I? Well, I am just middling, they have been working the old man too hard and too long at a time, and he feels more like “small potatoes and few in a hill” than an item gatherer for the Hamilton Free Press. I don’t much mind hard work if it was not so plagued regular. Thirty-four bales cotton on the platform this morning for Birmingham and twelve for Memphis, one car coal unloading and one car lumber for Eldridge, so you see Winfield is still hustling. Mrs. JOHN EARNEST and children are visiting Mrs. NATH MUSGROVE. Miss PATTIE ODEN, of Glen Allen, is visiting Mrs. R. F. CARNES. Winfield High School, under the excellent management of Prof. J. B. ZIEGLER is a fine educator, having graduated in this country and Paris, France. Our people have learned a lesson in regard to quarreling over who shall and shall not teach and are now determined to have a good school. Three hundred and thirty bales of cotton have been shipped this season to date. J. A. NORTHCUTT got the gold fever in his eyes and has had to make several trips to Aberdeen for a doctor to cure ‘em up. Mrs. BILL COUCH is very low with fever and at this writing is not expected to live. Uncle, Winfield, Nov. 3 COMMISSIONER’S COURT Commissioner’s Court was in session last Monday and Tuesday. A full board was in attendance and considerable business transacted but lack of space prevents us from giving the proceedings in fill this week. It will appear in our next. M. B. LODEN rented the pauper farm for twenty-eight dollars and will provide for the paupers next year for seven dollars per month each. A. J. HOLLEY called to see us on yesterday. JACK informs us that the people in his neighborhood are in need of a post office and will make an effort to secure one. By all means let them have it.
