HOWELL ----(political commentary)--- DANIEL COLLIER has been nominated for State Senator from the district composed of the counties of Fayette, Lamar and Walker. A better selection could not have been made in the district. COLLIER is a fighting democrat and the Jeffs will have something to do to defeat him. At the mass meeting of miners at Adamsville Monday there were some of the men in favor of going to work. In fact one man made an attempt to speak upon this line, when he was rapped out of order. As a result of this dissatisfaction a meeting of the contingent in favor of returning to work will be held at Adamsville Saturday and it is thought that , regardless of what the other contingent says, those in favor of going to work will accept the reduced rates and return to work. Deeds of deviltry have again been committed by supposed strikers. Monday night the Corona accommodation was fired into near Day’s Gap. Fortunately no one was hurt. It is said that the Kansas City, Memphis, and Birmingham officials heard that a body of strikers, who had been in attendance upon the mass meeting, were camped near Adamsville and that they expected to capture a train. In consequence of this and fearing that trouble might result the train was held until after daylight yesterday morning. However, this is denied by officials of the road. – [Age-Herald] PLATFORM OF THE STATE DEMOCRATIC PARTY PROGRAM OF TEACHER’S INSTITUTE TO BE HELD AT HACKLEBURGH The next Teacher’s Institute of Marion County will be held at Hackleburgh on the 13th and 14th days of July 1894.

One Dollar a year LOCALS Mrs. LUCRETIA HENDRICKS is on the sick list this week. Ye editor has been on the sick list for several days. Mr. JAMES SPRINGFIELD of Guin was on our streets last Saturday. W. C. DAVIS returned Sunday from a business trip to Aberdeen, Miss. A. J. STANFORD, Esq. visited Crews the latter part of last week. Dr. MOORMAN, of Bexar was here on professional business last Saturday. Mrs. MICHAEL HAMILTON of Bexar is visiting friends and relatives in town CHARLIE MALONE, Franklin County’s hustling deputy sheriff was here one day last week. W. W. OZBIRN one of Hackleburgh’s leading merchants was in town on last Monday. On last Saturday afternoon, about 2 o’clock, we had quite a refreshing rain, the first in several weeks. Farmers are rejoicing. W. T. MITCHELL, of Thorn Hill is visiting in Hamilton this week. Tom has hosts of friends here who are always glad to see him. Dr. STONE has located at Guin. He is an experience physician and surgeon and desires the patronage of the people. Mr. WALTER APPLING arrived at this place on last Saturday. The people of Hamilton extend to him a hearty welcome. Mrs. JANE HALL, mother of our esteemed sheriff, has been quite sick for the past few days. We wish for her a speedy recovery. Capt. HAMILTON had the misfortune to lose three fine colts last week. They were standing under a tree during the storm when a bolt of lightning struck the tree, instantly killing the colts. Colonel BROWN, an aged citizen of near Barnesville, spent Saturday in Hamilton. The Colonel is old and very feeble, but is as bright and enthusiastic as ever when you mention Politics to him. He is a life long democrat, and much honored by all who know him. Our town was visited by a hard wind one evening last week, but no material damage was done to buildings and fences; however, the court house was moved a little, judging from the fact that some of the doors could not be closed after the wind had ceased. And right here we suggest that some one makes a move to have that frail little frame to which our church bell is suspended, taken down before the bell becomes broken by a fall. Here goes a dollar from the Free Press toward building a nice and substantial belfry – who next? W. R. APPLING, Esq. left his morning for Hamilton, where he proposes to locate and practice law. Mr. APPLING is a young man of ability and promise, enjoying in a high degree the confidence and esteem of this community. His many friends here will always hear with pleasure of his success. We have peculiar pride in recommending him to the good people of Marion County, as a gentleman in every way worthy of their confidence and good will. – [Walker County Record] Blank waive notes at this office. 20 pounds good sugar at Littleton’s for $1.00 Call at the post office building for fresh garden seeds.
