Hamilton needs a good church house, also a court house, and last but by no means least, she needs a good school teacher. We heard a few days ago that tam meeting was to be held for the purpose of deciding as to what should be done in regard to his matter. Now let them (we mean the citizens of this town and vicinity) appoint a time for holding this meeting and then all attend and decide whether we need a teacher. And we think they will readily conclude that one is needed and badly needed. There are quite a number of children to be seen daily, playing and frolicking about over town who should by all means be in the school room. Parents will please not mistake our idea in regard to this matter, as some of them might possibly think that we favor a method of all study and no play. Now we favor nothing of the kind. But we do favor a little more study and less play, for we think it would be of great value to the children in the future. The late act providing for the Teacher’s Institute will greatly aid the cause of education throughout our country, as we can have a better chance for securing good competent teachers than we have heretofore been able to do. So why will the parents continue to neglect this matter when their children are calling on them for an education? Now, in conclusion we suggest that you wake up and make some sort of show toward securing a good teacher and there will never be a more appropriate time for the awakening than at present. The people everywhere are right-minded and honest. They are patient and long suffering. They are also very credulous. The give their confidence cheerfully and withdraw it reluctantly …………. ECONOMY IN FARM HOMES – ALABAMA’S GOOD FORTUNE It is asserted now that the crop prospects in Alabama are the best in ten years, and that unless there is some unforeseen atmostphere disturbance – a great storm or drouth, the yield will be the largest ever known…………. Col. C. C. Merrick, President of the Gulf and Chicago R. R. Co. and Col. N. N. Clements, one of the stockholders made interesting speeches at this place on last Friday in the interest of said road. It is thought that the road will be built at an early day. The citizens of this county have appointed a meeting at Godfrey on next Friday and at Double Springs on Saturday following, where it is expected there will be speaking by some one. The object of the meeting is to try to raise a fund to assist in surveying said lie through this county. Let everybody interested, or that can be interested in the mater attend one or both of these meetings. This may seem strange to some but come and hear the whys and wherefores before condemning the idea – [Winston Herald] A WESTERN HOWLER A recent issue of the “Arizona Howler” contains the following personal explanation. “We must apologize for the wretched appearance of ‘The Howler’ this week, as we have been utterly unable to do the paper justice. Our wife arrived from the East early in the week, and instead of fighting it out with the lady we married since coming to this place, they both fell upon us and pounded us very nearly to a jelly. When we explain that we write this holding the pencil with our teeth, the reader will readily see how impossible it was for us to make this issue what we desire.” One of the greater proofs of the divinity and authenticity of the Christian religion is its survival of hypocrisy within and the attacks upon its faith from without……………. Mr. W. W. Webb writes in the Southern Cultivator that……………. It seems rather unfortunate that there are always cranks or lunatics who have a crazy desire to murder the President………….. Mr. G. W. HILTON of Winston County, in writing to the Winston Herald says: “I heard there was living in Walker County, a man by the name of MR. JOHN HENDON who it was said could cure cancers. I visited him in October last, and got a prescription from him and in tend days the whole cancer broke all around and fell out by the roots. Some of the roots were ¾ of an inch long, laving a considerable hole in my face, which soon filled with sound flesh. I am now sound and no appearance of its return, it being eight months since it was removed. I make this statement feeling it is my duty I owe to Mr. Hendon and for the benefit of my fellow men.” The surveying corps of the Gulf & Chicago R. R. have reached Houston. They are moving in the direction of Gum Pond and Moulton. The prospect for three or four railroads through Winston are very flattering. – [Winston Herald] STATE ITEMS The Salvation Army is making a raid on Montgomery. The Eufaula Times and News is advertised for sale. Greensboro has an epidemic of measles. Anniston claims to have the largest cotton mills in successful operation of nay city in Alabama. The first bushel of new corn raised in Wilcox County was carried to mill on 2nd July. Tuskaloosa claims the honor of having the best banking facilities of any town in West Alabama. Alabama devotes one-third of her income to the schooling of her children. The company boring for gas in Hartsell seem to have met with grand success. It is to be controlled by Decatur parties who will run it in the interest of that thriving city. Walker County has nine saw mills with a capacity of 100,000 feet per day, and still they cannot meet the increasing demand for lumber. This is satisfactory proof that Walker is enjoying a steady prosperous growth. Rumor sys that the L. & N. R.R. Company has offered the brakeman named Baldwin, whose neck was broken by falling from a car $20,000 if he will compromise the case. Baldwin is the first and only man in the world who has been so fortunate as to survive a broken neck. He should have the twenty thousand. Sad news reaches Double Springs that one of Mr. H. J. HITLER’S sons was drowned in Mr. LACY’S mill pond in Beat 5 last Saturday. – [Winston Herald] The Mormons are decidedly anxious it seems for Utah to be admitted into the Union as a State. They held a convention in Salt Lake City recently at which time they went so far as to denounce polygamy as being in opposing to the spirit of the age, and in violation of the laws of this grand Republic. Now, all this would sound quite well denouncing polygamy and etc. But the Mormons are sharp enough to know that when admitted their minds would quickly change on this question and having as they are well aware a large majority that is in favor of it, they could then enact laws to suit all their peculiar ideas. David Hoffman, the man who participated in wrecking the Missouri Pacific passenger train on the night of the eleventh of January lat was hanged at Nebraska City, Neb. on 22nd July. All of his confederates who took part in the wrecking are serving a ten year’s sentence in the penitentiary, they having turned state’s evidence. -------- Ad for Simmons Liver Regulator The following extract from the London telegraph will give our readers a correct idea of the English peoples knowledge of America and its prominent features……………… ------------ PAGE 2 THE MARION HERALD Published Every Thursday Hamilton, Alabama THY MOTHER – (poem) GRAND LESSONS - What Science Has Drawn from Investigating the Moon GATHERING VANILLA–How the Indians of Mexico Cultivate the Plant and Prepare it for Market USES FOR HORNED TOADS THE SEA TELEPHONE A NEW TELEPHONE – Interesting Experiments made Recently between Paris and Brussels TALL TUBEROSES THE BEST AN INTELLIGENT FATHER HOME AND FARM Try buttermilk for the removal of tan and walnut stains and freckles. --------- Sausage: To fifty pounds meat, twelve ounces salt, four of ground black pepper, two of fine sage, and two of saltpeter.

Chancery JOHN ARNOLD Co. Supt of Ed. W. W. WHITE Representative R. W. CASHION Coroner Rev. WESLEY STIDHAM County Surveyor JASPER N. GREEN County Surveyor Commissioners W. R. HALL W. T. BISHOP J. J. KUYKENDALL L. M. ALLEN Educate your children Mr. JOHN ALLMON of Pikeville is in town this week. W. H. KEY, Esq. paid Birmingham a short visit this week. If you can’t keep cool, better go to the river. Watermelons are now ripe - better take down your scare-crow. Old Sol has something like a corner on the weather. Mr. JOHN HIGHTOWER of near Pikeville we learn was dangerously ill on last week with congestion. Good crop! Fine crop! Never saw such a crop! This is a universal cry all over the county. Mrs. L. J. CLARK is visiting relatives and fiends at Detroit this week. Mr. W. T. GAST paid the quiet old city of Pikeville a visit on last Saturday and Sunday. Died – Near Barnesville on last Sunday, one of Mr. GIB CARTER’S children. Mr. L. J. NIX of near Pleasant Ridge, Miss. gave us a call this week and subscribed for the Herald. The finest watermelons of the season were offered for sale on our streets last Saturday. Come again soon Mr. PALMER. Messrs. J. T. YOUNG, REUBEN SHIREY and C. L. HALEY are appointed a committee to examine the treasurer’s books. Quite a refreshing rain fell here on Tuesday last, also, a pretty heavy wind but no damage was done so far as we have learned. The children of our friend, Mr. R. W. CASHION, whose illness we failed to mention last week, we are pleased to say are all improving. The mercury varies from 95 to 100 in Hamilton in recording the different degrees of heat in different points in town these hot days. Miss ELLA HAMILTON paid her relatives and friends a welcome visit on Friday last. She remained until Sunday and returned to her school in the country. There will be a singing at Hall’s Mill church on Sunday next. It will be conducted by old uncle IRA POPE. His old friends and neighbors are all invited to attend. Mr. W. R. WHITE returned from Vernon Tuesday last where he has been attending the District conference. He says Vernon is very hopeful over the prospect of a new railroad. Mr. FRIERSON LANGSTON, of Caudle, spent part of last Sunday in town. He say Caudle is moving right along and thinks it will be a considerable little town in the near future. The surveying corps of the Sheffield & Sea Board R. R. broke camps here on last week, and are now camped near Hodges some miles north of his place. If this route proves a good practical one, which beyond a doubt it will, the prospect for the road’s being built is very favorable. Mr. JOHN W. HOWELL, of Goldmine, was in to see us on Monday last. He is quite enthusiastic over the present prospect of a railroad running through his farm, and say he owns some of the finest coal land in the state, which the speculators have been trying to swindle him out of for some time but so far they have failed to do so. THE DOCTOR’S TURKEY We have been informed that Dr. MORTON of Caudle, Ala. who by the way is a very courteous gentleman as also a clever shot, not long since heard that a turkey was roosting in a tree on the roadside only about two miles distant from the home. So early the next morning the Dr. started out (gun in hand), in search of the turkey. He soon reached the spot designated as the roosting place, and sure enough there sat the turkey. The Dr. moved about very cautiously until having found a suitable position from whence he could get a clear view and then taking a cool deliberate aim, banged away and down dropped the turkey. The elated little man shouldered him up, carried him to his home some two miles distant never doubting for once that he had killed a genuine turkey. So just imagine his chagrin and surprise when on reaching home he found that it was nothing more or less than a large “turkey-buzzard.” The Dr. swears vengeance on the urchin who informed him of the turkey, alias buzzard. FROM CAUDLE Caudle, Ala., July 13th, 1887 Editor Herald: Seeing nothing from this place in some time in the Herald, I decided to give you a few brevities. The health of our town and vicinity is remarkably good. The Doctors are all having a splendid rest. Miss LUELLA MARTIN has control of a school near this place. Miss LUELLA is a good teacher, and we receive her with much hospitality and cordiality. We are anticipating a big “boom” soon, as the engineers will soon be here to lay off our town in lots. Every town and village in Alabama where the ring of a few hammers, together with the rattle of saws can be heard is considered a being on a “boom” Trestling and track laying will be in operation along here soon. S. CAUDLE, Esq. has purchased a lot from Dr. GUIN and has a good building in process of construction. Farmers are wearing bright faces over the present indications of good crops, which are conceded to be the best known in this section for a number of years. We have been informed by our worthy townsman FRIERSON LANGSTON, that Messrs CLARK and WHITE have bought a big stock of goods for fall and winter trade CLAVIS HACKLEBURG HINTS July 30th 1887 The rust has made its appearance on our cotton. We are beginning to need rain. Rev. GEORGE ROC. of Allhill preached two interesting and instructive sermons in Hackleburg on last Saturday and Sunday. The Congregational Methodist will meet in convention at Hamilton on Saturday before the second Sunday in August for the purpose of organizing a new district, and delegates will be expected to attend from the Congregational churches near Bexar, and also from Pine Springs in Lamar County. Mr. J. M. COLEMAN and W. W. OSBIRN returned from the state of Winston on Wednesday last where they claim to have seen the cars smoking through old Marion and Winston. Mrs. SARAH KEENUM of near Allhill died on last Sunday night after a long protracted illness. Mr. MIKE LINDSEY and family of Itawamba County, Miss. are visiting friends in the burg this week. Mr. J. Y. MILLER and A. J. DUNOVEN are digging a well for W. W. OSBIRN. They say according to the teachings of the old folks “always begin at the bottom and go up.” They hardly know how to proceed with the work. GLEANER Mr. PAGE HARRIS, the oldest resident in Hale County, died near Green springs recently, aged 94 years. He was the father of Maj. J. G. HARRIS of Montgomery. Vol. 1 No 1 of the York News, a new paper just started at York Station, Sumter County, is lying on our table. The News is edited by L. D. GODSEY, Jr. is Democratic to the core, and will doubtless do some good work for Sumpter. We gladly place it on our X list. DETROIT ITEMS Detroit, Ala. July 30th, 1887 Editor Herald: After a silence of six weeks, I again attempt to give you a few items from Detroit. The health of our community is unusually good, and crops are still looking fine. Mr. BOB RAY’S family and Miss ANNIE STOUT who have been visiting in our town, returned home first of the week. Prof. J. F. WHITE made a business trip to Aberdeen on last Monday. Mr. T. W. NORTHINGTON started to Birmingham last Tuesday with about 800 chickens. We hope FRANK will find ready sale for this “cargo” and soon return home in safety. We are happy to meet our esteemed friend, W. R. WHITE, in town on last Wednesday evening. Our friend “Clip” attended the picnic at Brown’s on the 23rd inst and told us confidentially that he had met his “destiny” (his intended). Being old and cunning, “Clip” is very anxious that his be kept a secret, but he dealt so relentlessly with us last week we wish to propagate it from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The Detroit Debating Society met last Thursday night and discussed the following query: Resolved, that there is more pleasure in a married life than in a single life. After a warm contest, our bachelor President, Mr. E. D. GILMORE, decided in favor of the affirmative; and judging from his peculiar conduct at Central Point the next day, the decision was made with an approving conscience. BUTLER The President has recently made another ten-strike and cleverly knocked out a brother-in-law of Jim Blaine. Sakes alive! Our Grover is still improving and every now and then puts a stinger in the right place. Sad announcement – a palsy cyclone has swept over the camp of the G. A. P. of which the “Fair Child’ is a member and shook things up in such a wonderful manner than many leading members of both political parties have asked to be honorably discharged.
