Ad for Harwood’s Chair Seats – picture of Chair Ad for The Southern Cultivator NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the Board of Education for Marion County will meet at the School House at Hamilton on the first Saturday in June for the purpose of examining and licensing teachers. JOHN ARNOLD, County Supt. The wheat dealers in St. Louis are impressed with the idea that a “corner” is bout to be made on that article. The Memphis Avalanche is of the opinion that political indications now point to the selection of a Southern man for the Vice-Presidency in 1888. Secretary Lamar is the man the Avalanche would have nominated. According to the statement made by the Courier, Vernon will in the near future be connected with the outside world by means of a railroad. My John R Fowler has taken editorial control of the Morgan County News. We are glad to learn that that News has fallen into hands so competent and well qualified as Mr. Fowler’s, and we feel quite sure that no effort on his part will be left unmade to advance the cause of old Morgan and her people. The Herald extends a hearty welcome and says long may you soar friend Johnnie. The question is asked by some, why it is that Marion can’t have a boom as very near all the counties of North Alabama seem to be booming of late. To which question we answer by saying: that it is not because we have nothing with which to create a boom, for coal, iron and various minerals abound in our county, the quality of which is superior to some that is now booming the county in which it lies imbedded. Let the people arise from their slumbers, put on the garments of activity and make one grand united effort to advance the cause of our county. Only a short time past not so much as one mile of railroad was running through this county. We now have fifteen miles in process of construction with ten miles already complete. The Kansas City, Birmingham R. R. running across the South-Eastern part of the county is of untold value to us as we can have means of transportation for all we produce as well as having our market for supplies nearer home, the nearest railroad point having previously been forty miles distant. There’s no county in Alabama or elsewhere that can ever hope to rise without a so-called road, and we suggest to our citizens that they take some interest in these things and do all in their power to secure the cooperation of capitalist’s who are investing daily, yes hourly in the South. The time is not far distant when these so called men will be spying around in Marion looking out locations for various enterprises for which the county is well adapted, as we have the mineral, the climate, the pure water and health, of which the three last named are the most desirable things on earth. In conclusion, we would say there’s no use sitting down with your hands folded and in that position await the coming of prosperity and the much coveted boom. There’s a part for you to act and then the county will begin to advance, and not until this reformation takes place can we expect to attain great wealth, and rank with the leading counties of Alabama.

ORCHARDS FOR LAWNS – How Many a Waste Corner on the Farm Can be made Productive without Culture PAGE 4 LOCAL DEPARTMENT “No success without effort. No royal road that leads to eminence.” See final proof notice in this issue. W. H. KEY, Esq. made a business trip to Caudle the first of the week. In justice to Mr. HULSEY we would like to inform our readers that Mr. WHITE in place of GLEN accompanied him to Fayette C. H. a short time since. Why was Eve made? For Adams Express Company. The Wheelers held their regular meeting at this place on last Saturday. There was an unusually large crowd in town considering what it has been for several weeks past. Love your neighbor and your country, do unto newspaper men as you should, and subscribe for your county paper. Dr. THOMPSON one of our good citizens moved from town last Friday to spend the summer in the country. We wish the Dr. a pleasant sojourn. “Where is happiness found? In the Dictionary.” Our friend, Mr. T. W. WIGINTON living near this place, we learn has been quite sick for several days. We hope to see him out again soon. Don’t forget that the 21st day of May is the day appointed for the picnic. Our merchants continue to bring in new goods, they are evidently determined that the people shan’t lack for any thing in their line. Our Tax Assessor Mr. J. P. FORD who has been sick for the last few days, we are glad to say is circulating among his friends this morning. Luck: An article much to be compared with lightning. Seldom strikes an editor, never known to strike an editor twice in the same life-time. Mr. HENRY BURNETT who accompanied the U. S. Marshall’s to Huntsville on last week, was promptly locked up when he arrived at that city. We would say to all maimed and disabled soldiers and widows who are entitled to a benefit under the recent act of Legislature, the Probate Judge is now ready to prepare applications for such benefits. Mers. HIB HULSEY, W. G. J. MATTHEWS, W. H. KEY, Esq. and J. S. CLEMENTS are appointed a committee to prepare the grounds for the picnic, which will be held at the bridge one mile south of town on next Saturday. All are invited to come. Mr. DAVID MORROW living four miles east of this place, requests us to say to the people who want carding done that he now has his machine ready for business and all persons needing anything in his line are invited to call. Mrs. E. M. HOWE, who lives about four miles south of town is dangerously sick with consumption. She has been sick for the past year, but was not considered as in immediate danger until about a week ago. Hopes are hardly entertained for her recovery. Mr. JAY MATTHEWS seems to be the most useful young man around the city, and we don’t think the town could be kept going a great while without him. Therefore the young ladies should remember that his home is in Lawrence Co., and they should look well to the interest of our town. A grand fishing party composed of some of our leading citizens made a three day’s trip to the River near Henson’s Spring on last week. The party consisted of Sheriff LODEN, Deputy Sheriff J. C. WEATHERLY, Judge MATTHEWS, W. H. KEY, Esq., W. R. WHITE, and W. T. GAST. They returned home on Friday bringing about 10 pounds of fish with them. They say they caught near 50 pounds, but as none of them are very fond of fish we can’t see what become of the remaining forty pounds. HOW TO KEEP BOYS ON THE FARM ‘how to keep our boys on the farm” is a question that has been frequently discussed of late. Farmers in whose vocabulary farm-life and drudgery are synonymous terms will continue to have trouble with their boys wishing to quit the old home and farm for a more congenial life in a city. The young man bred in the country, who is taught from childhood the exalted position of the successful farmer, and has come to understand, that all the forces of Nature are at his command, and that by his intelligence the soil is forced to yield him the much coveted treasure in abundance, that the high degree of excellence may be attained only by means of thoughtful labor and well directed effort; who realized that he is making fast progress and continually growing wiser – his boy will find something fascinating in rural life, that seems to bind him to it and does not so much as allow him to think of the city. Let no effort on your part be wanting to save your boy from the dangerous influences of aimless drudgery. The farmers in a great many portions of the country say they are needing rain, especially on their oats as a few days more of hot dry weather will injure the oat crop considerably, the corn and cotton seems to be doing splendidly. We think there is a better prospect for a good corn and cotton crop this year than has been for several years past. And we are sure the Farmers are acting well their part, for they all seem to be moving along with their work, better this spring than usual, everyone seems to be up with his work and moving along smoothly awaiting the much needed shower.
