CLEMENTS, Editor and Proprietor Entered at the post office at Guin, Ala as second-class mail matter. Subscription Terms, Cash One Year………..$1.00 6 mos…………… .50 3 mos…………… .25 ….(state and national news items)…. With this number the Dispatch closes its existence, and while we regret having to part from our Marion county friends, circumstance over which we have no control forces us to do so. We have labored for the past three months and spared no effort to make the paper second to none in the county, but proper encouragement has not been received and the result is we are forced to try another field. The Dispatch during short period of its existence has endeavored as best it could to assist in the advancement of Marion County and her citizens, but without proper encouragement no newspaper can long survive and we are not prepared to work for glory alone. To those of our friends who have stood by us we return many grateful thanks, and would be pleased to serve them in any way possible. Respectfully J. S. CLEMENTS THE TAX RATE LOCAL ITEMS No mail from Hamilton the first of the week. Business has been rather dull this week. Mr. J. L. PAPAZAN is recovering from a severe attack of measles. Capt. A. J. HAMILTON, of Hamilton was in town on business this week. Mr. BURLESON is having a new barn erected on his premises. Dr. J. B. GUIN has part of the lumber on the ground for a new residence. Mr. WATSON BROWN proposes to build a residence and move his family from Beaverton to this place at an early day. DAN OZBIRN, and a man named LEVI CAWTHORN had a difficult at Hackleburgh (sic) on last week, and Ozbirn stabbed Cawthorn with a knife, inflicting a serious if not fatal wound. It remains to be seen whether the county will build an iron bridge or another wooden structure. The former would cost but little more, and would be cheaper in the long run. The Dispatch is in favor of a good bridge and to insure a good one it should be of iron. Taxpayers who fail to meet the assessor at his appointments will be liable to costs, and in all cases where proper demand is made, and they neglect to render list, thereby forcing the assessor to assess from information the law says “he shall add to such assessment a penalty of 50 per centum.” The law strictly forbids the assessor’s receiving any list without administering the oath.
