PAGE 2 THE APPEAL J. S. CLEMENTS, Editor and Proprietor Subscription Rates One year, 50 cents, Six Months 25 cts. DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM BRYAN AND SEWALL -----(Political news and commentary)----- LINDSEY HOWELL, whom the republicans nominated for Superintendent of Education, was in town last Tuesday at the opening of the canvass but not as a candidate. Mr. HOWELL threw a bomb into the republican camp by taking the floor and announcing that he was a democrat, had always been a democrat and expected to vote that ticket in August.

LANN & CARTER Hardware Co, Aberdeen, Miss. PAGE 3 THE APPEAL Issued Every Friday Hamilton, July 17, 1896 CLUB RATES PUBLIC SPEAKING Call on H. E. MIXON when you need a pair of shoes. Prices as low as the lowest. B. R. FITE, Esq. made a business trip to Hackleburg the first of the week. J. W. WIDES of Guin was here Tuesday and paid us a pleasant visit. J. P. PEARCE of Pearce’s Mills was circulating among Hamilton friends last Tuesday. L. D. LITTLETON and L. PEARCE, two of Guin’s popular merchants, attended the speaking on Tuesday last. BESSIE, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. GREEN, died at Pikeville on last Monday morning, after a brief illness. The bereaved parents have our sincere sympathy. Rev. J. E. BARNARD of Birmingham preached tow able sermons at this place during the week. He was here with a view to organizing a Baptist Church at this place. Died – One mile south of Hamilton on last Tuesday, the infant son of Mr. A. R. WINDSOR. Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to the bereaved parents. W. G. RIGGAN of Onece, Fla. is visiting his Marion County friends this week. The Medical Board - There will be a meeting of the Medical Board of Marion County at Hamilton on Tuesday after the 2nd Monday in August, 1896. A. L. MOORMAN, President Prof. J. E. ALEXANDER, president of the West Alabama Agricultural School., located at Hamilton, Ala gave us a pleasant call Saturday evening, leaving an advertisement for this institution, which appears elsewhere in these columns. This school if fostered by the State, and was created especially for the farmers’ sons and daughters of this section, and we are proud to know the first session was a very prosperous one. Tuition is absolutely free and good board can be had from $5 to $7 per month. Prof. ALEXANDER is desirous of enrolling a large number of pupils from Walker County this year, and invites everyone who contemplates entering college to send for his catalogue – [Mountain Eagle] GUIN LOCALS Hot weather is still the style here, though we have seen it warmer – in a rolling mill. We made a flying trip to Hamilton on yesterday and heard republicanism expounded from the shoulder by the republican candidate for Representative LUNSFORD. He failed to do anything more than make assertions, which is all that any of them can do. The boss of Marion county democracy, as he was pleased to call Mr. DAVIS, proved to be lots too much for the Hackleburgh person, who voted for the negro DAWSON and against fusion. The fox and bell anecdote suites LUNSFORD exactly. Dr. J. C. STONE and family are visiting friends and relatives at Pratt City. J. L. GUTHRIE and family of Sulligent have been the guests of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. BROCK for the past few days, returned home yesterday. Mrs. O. C. LING is visiting relatives in Lamar County this week. The HUGHES Boys are getting along nicely and we hope to see them out again soon. W. R. HUGHES from Mississippi formerly of Guin visited his parents on last Sunday. Rev. TIPTON of Millport is holding a very interesting meeting at the Christian Church here this week. Rev. J. E. BARNARD passed through Guin yesterday en route for Hamilton, where he expects to organize a church. Miss WILLIE MATTHEWS and her sister Mrs. LENA WHITE are visiting friends and relatives at Detroit this week. J. BIRD, Guin, July 15 DETROIT GLEANINGS We are having some very nice weather now. Our schools are moving along nicely with much success. The great number of our farmers are done laying by. Picnics are still the order of the day. JOHN D. DOVE, who bears the name of the bird that found the leaf after the flood, has opened up school at Wesley Chapel. We wish him much success. J. H. WILSON visited Vernon last Thursday and was given a second grade certificate by the educational board. He will teach at Henson Springs. CARD OF THANKS We desire to return our sincere thanks to our neighbors and friends for their kind assistance during the illness of our baby, and for their aid and encouragement and friendly interest after her death. Especially are our thanks due to Rev. S. B. SMITH for his words of tender sympathy and consolations at her funeral. Our friends have made our burden lighter and easier to bear. W. F. GREEN, Mrs. W. F. GREEN, Pikeville, Ala. July 14, 1896 FROM GOLDMINE Good rains and good crops News scarce and weather hot. Watermelons plentiful and we have had our cravings satisfied once again. W. J. COCHRAN and W. I. BURLESON bagged two young turkeys each the other day. One at a time, boys. The braying of the Jack and the explosion of the Gas was not heard in our part of the county, and we hear it said that where it was heard it was so strong that it swept many strays back into the fold. The east side of this county may be relied upon to do her duty by the ticket in August. There may be some prejudice against some of the democratic nominees but if a man is the democratic nominee he is worthy of respect and deserves our votes. DEMOCRAT, Goldmine, July 14 It must have been pleasant for H. W. PALMER to submit to the scalping knife and be butchered to make room for LUNSFORD. Boss rule in the Republican Party is not dead in Marion but it is safe to say that PINK has the reins and for the present Judge COOPER, Col. TAYLOR and others may keep off the track. PINK is driving and don’t you forget it. THE STATE NORMAL COLLEGE, FLORENCE, Ala. This Institution has made wonderful success of doing exactly the work assigned to it by the State, viz: Training teachers for the public schools. The catalogue is one of the very best that comes to this office. The outline of the work under the head of “Departments“ is almost equal to a Manual of Methods on the subjects covered. Every teacher should have one. A strong feature of the College, not shown by the catalogues, is the aid and encouragement rendered struggling young teachers who enter. Indeed it is said that all really worthy young people who enter manage sooner or later to complete the course.- [Florence Times] $100 will defray a year’s expenses, including board. Fall term opens September 15, 1896. Send for a Trained Teacher or a catalogue. JAS. K. POWERS, President REGISTER’S SALE The State of Alabama, Marion County In Chancery at Hamilton, Ala.
