It is quite astonishing how little some young men and young ladies read. This fact can easily be discovered by coming in contact with them in society………………. Some one would say, I think there must be some money behind that cussed paper, for I ordered my paper stopped some moths ago, and the blasted thing continues to come in spite of all my efforts to down it and my withdrawing don’t seem to have effected it in the least……………… Our farmers have escaped the booming fever so far and seem very much contented with pursing their old plan of raising corn and cotton, which is all very nice so far as it goes, but we think the day is near at hand when the farmers of this county will have to abandon farming in part and try their hand at something more profitable than raising a few hundred pounds of seed cotton with which to procure all things necessary for temporal comforts. We don’t mean to say however that we want all the good farmers of Marion County to discard farming altogether, but there are a number of farmers who barely make a support, those are the ones to whom we wish to speak as a general thing they go in debt relying on their cotton crop with which to meet this debt in the fall. The cotton crop fails, and consequently they get left. The merchant who has furnished them supplies with which to make their crop comes in for his little amount and that means the entire crop. This class of farmers are always behind, and will continue to be so as long a they look to the growing of a few hundred pounds of seed cotton with which to pay for their meal, corn, flour and etc. We sincerely hope in the near future to see our farmers discard this great evil and begin raising those things at home.

PAGE 4 LOCAL DEPARTMENT Warm weather. No sickness in town. Plenty of rain for the present. Let everybody go to prayer-meeting tonight. Do not allow yourself to loose temper or to speak excitedly. JAMES PEARCE of Pearce’s Mills was in town this week on business. He that will have no trouble in this world must not be born in it. Our friends W. A. DUNN gave us a call on last week. Large crowd in town on last Saturday. A love letter may be said to be a writ of attachment. Col. NESMITH of Vernon is attending the land sale in town this week. Never select a crooked path by which to travel through this life when you can find a straight one. Mr. W. J. CLARK is assisting in the store of G. B. MIXON while Mr. TERRELL is absent. Mr. CHARLIE HALEY of Thorn Hill was in town attending the land sale this week. The heaviest rain fall on last Monday that has blessed this section for some time past. No more mineral lands to be sold in this county for the present for the nominal sum of taxes and costs. Our friends W. F. GREEN of Russellville paid this town a visit on last Saturday and remained until Monday. Innocence is like a flower, which withers when touched, and blooms not again, though watered with tears. We were pleased to shake the hand of our friend Mr. PAUL BISHOP of Bexar while in town on last Saturday. “Crowded out to make room for more interesting matter,” said the editor, as he shoved aside a plate of beans and tackled a pie. Mr. JAMES M. GAST paid a visit to his family and friends at this place on last Saturday and returned to Isbell on Monday. Life’s real heroes and heroines are those who bear their own burdens bravely and give a helping hand to those by whom they are surrounded. We learn that the M. & O. R. R. has succeeded in getting the charter for the Birmingham and North-western Railroad. This road if built will pass through our county and likely through our town. Cooking schools re all very well in their way, but they will never reach their highest possibility of good until they begin to teach the young girls who intend getting married how to build the kitchen fire. The rains which fell in this section recently has given a new appearance to everything especially so with the farmers, all of them can be seen moving around quite happy in anticipation of an abundant harvest. Rev. J. W. WHITE in company with his wife and daughter paid this community a visit on last Saturday and remained over until Monday when they returned to their home in Russellville. While in town he preached two interesting and instructive sermons to a large and appreciative audience. A young gentleman residing in this town, whose name we defer from giving just now but can be easily discovered by applying to a certain party who is in the habit of making frequent trips to Aberdeen, is a candidate for matrimony and says one vote will elect him. Ladies, now is your time, but don’t all vote at once. A fishing party composed of W. R. H. LODEN, CALVIN WEATHERLY, W. R. WHITE, Mr. WEAVER, J. W. WHITE, IRA MARTIN, JAY MATTHEWS, W. T. GAST, Dr. MARTIN, W. H. KEY, Dr. GUYTON, L.M. LODEN, JAMES WHITE, A. J. STANFORD, and JAMES S. CLEMENTS, all made a trip to the river on last Friday for the purpose of having a fish fry. They spent the day in jolly sport and secured a bountiful supply of fish to meet the demands of the crowd which on an occasion of this sort are never very hungry. A German has invented an anesthetic bullet……………… LOST Five days ago I was in a little town in Kentucky where I had been going for ten years on business each year........................
