THE GRAND OLD PRESS The grand achievements of journalism are destined to rank among the proudest that adorn the pages of history…………….. Our county has been wonderfully blessed this year so far ass good seasons are concerned. The crops are looking fine and prosperous. In some portions of the state the recent heavy rains, and storms have done considerable damage, but still the yield promises to be the largest known for a number of years. The time is now not far distant when this crop of corn will be gathered and stored away in barns. Then, the question arises and confronts our farmer’s asking “what shall we do with our corn, shall we feed our hogs, and thereby have plenty of meat for another year? Or, shall we sell it to moonshiners, or wild cat distillers to be made into fire-water and sold to our neighbors, and our children? Will you, citizens of Marion County, sell your corn to a man or set of men whom you well know are engaged in making wild cat whisky? The men that have done more toward retarding the progress of your county than everything else. They don’t railroads, they don’t want schools; they don’t’ want any newspapers, in fact they don’t want anything but still and plenty of corn to keep her moving. Now, fellow citizens, for the sake of your county, your children and yourselves, don’t sell one bushel of corn to a man when you firmly believe that he is buying it for this purpose. Good substantial citizens are often heard to say, that if it wasn’t for the illicit distilleries corn could be obtained the year round for 50 cents a bushel. Here is the trouble you will sell your corn in the fall for fifty cents, and then give a dollar a bushel the next spring and summer. Now, there is no county in this or any other state, that need hope for one instant to ever attain wealth and rank among the leading counties, so long as one-fourth of her population are either directly or indirectly connected with a “Wild Cat” still. “President Cleveland is receiving a great many invitations from Southern cities to visit them. It is probable the President will accept some one or two of the many elaborate invitations. The Courier must cordially invite his Honorable Excellency to give Vernon a call while in the sunny South – [Vernon Courier] Yes, this would be very nice, friend ALEX, and should his “Honor” come to give Vernon a call, he can’t afford to pass through the flourishing cities of Pikeville and Moscow, without stopping a dew days to see the sights. MIXED SCHOOLS Whiter are we drifting? Well may we ask this in view of the recent surprising developments. the mere fact hat there are white men in Georgia who want to mix the races in the schools, which forced the legislature of that state to take action in the matter and pas a bill making it a penal offence for a teacher to teach a white child in a colored school and vice versa…….. There is every probability that the Democratic party of our county will present a solid unbroken front to the enemies of her great principles at the next election………[Haynesville Examiner] A WHEELER’S REPLY – No Political Wheel He Says Mr. Editor: In the Marion Herald of July 21st headed Wheelerism vs. Democracy signed by I. J. LOYD. It is always the case when anyone is ignorant of certain principles they are ever ready to prefer charges against those principles, especially in this case it is too true. If Mr. LOYD could have known anything about the principles of the Wheeler organization he certainly could not have had the impudence to have preferred such a gross charge against the Wheelers. If he would take the time to read and study the Constitution of the order, he would find that there is nothing political about it. I don’t doubt but that he has heard some fanatic belonging to the order express themselves in opposition to Democracy and favoring a new party. A man should be very careful in assailing an organization on account of the expressions of a fanatic, but should have investigated the principles of the institution, instead of going off half cocked or on his ear. It has been shown in our senatorial district that the Wheelers stood firm to true Democratic principles by voting for Col. JOHN B. SANFORD, against their own county man in the last senatorial contest. Nor does the Wheelers go so far as Mr. LOYD, in charging the Democratic party of imbibing Republican principles. I should think from the tone of this article that instead of the Wheeler favoring a new party, that he is in favor of forming a new party called old-time Democracy, and charging Wheelers with voting the Republican ticket, a charge which he can’t substantiate. But on the other hand admits that he votes republican principles by supporting the Democratic party. Now, Mr. LOYD, I am a Wheeler, and a Democrat, and have always supported the Democracy all the way through, and have never supported a Republican principle by voting the Democratic ticket. I am willing to admit that some of the democratic leaders imbibe Republican principles such as Samuel J. Randall and others. I fear Mr. LOYD is expecting to be a great manufacturer from the fact that he thinks that he has discovered a mineral mine on his place, but for fear it will pan out to be “fools gold” I would advise him not to imbibe too many of the republican principles until he finds out for certain that it is pure gold. Mr. Loyd says that he don’t want to discourage any farmer’s organization that might bring relief, or be an advantage to the farmer. Now, if this be true, why does he attempt to cripple an organization of that charter without carefully investigating the principles of an organization that is tending in that direction. Then he says “Wheelerism was sired in the North. If it was, can’t there be anything good born in the North, as well as anywhere else? Such expressions as these have a tendency to keep open the chasm between the North and South, the very thing that great statesmen such as Lamar have been trying to close ever since the war, but just such fanatics as Loyd have been trying to keep open and that too by expressions which he can’t substantiate. We can only judge from the tenure of his article is that he only hopes that the Wheelers will do as he says. His article if paid any attention too would have a tendency to drive men out of the Democratic party instead of bringing them into the field of Democracy. Now, I will notice what he says on the subject of supply and demand. Must say that he is not posted on this subject. If he would only read and inform himself, he will find that monopolies are making what is called corners in the business circles. So, it is not supply and demand rules prices, but it is moneyed monopolies that govern prices. I refer you to wheat and coffee, and the recent failures of these monopolists. Now, I hope when Mr. LOYD writes another article against Wheelerism, that he will post himself, and not deal in assertions alone. Respectfully H. C.

WHITE, our distinguished young salesman, paid Detroit a visit on last week. Mr. PINKNEY BISHOP is visiting his daughter Mrs. WALTER H. MATTHEWS this week. Miss DIXIE KEY returned home on last week from Bexar where she has been visiting relatives. The “Wheeler” mounts his wheel and rolls right into I J. L. of old Bull Mt., regardless of a collision. Miss DELLA KEY of near town, but who is teaching at Pikeville spent part of Saturday and Sunday last at her home. It seems from the reports all over the country that the only short crop this year would be when a man had his hair cut in July. The congregational Methodist will meet in Hamilton on next Saturday for the purpose of organizing a new District. “Take Progress for your motto, put ambition and energy into your knapsack and you are provided for the route to success.” We were pleased to meet and shake the hand of your young friend PAUL BISHIOP of Bexar while in the city on Saturday last. “Plenty of room at the top” exclaimed a hotel clerk as he ordered the porter to put another cot on the roof. Mr. W. T. GAST left town on last Tuesday for Franklin County where he will spend a few days with his parents in the old home at Mountain Springs. Little PAUL, son of Mr. and Mrs. JOHN H.

Our merchants are receiving a large stock of goods for the fall and winter trade, and all who want a bargain, just let them bring along the cash and beyond a doubt they can get some good bargains. Our esteemed friend W. F. GREEN of Russellville Idea gave the Herald office a call the first of the week. He says no town in the South has brighter prospects for a glorious future than Russellville. We are pained to announce the death of Mr. HENRY MILLS, who died at his home about five miles from Detroit, on last Sunday morning after an illness of several days. Mr. MILLS was a good citizen of our county; leaves a wife and children to mourn his death; all of whom have the sympathy of this entire community. Commissioner Court convened here on last Monday. After all other business was disposed of they then took a vote on the court house question. Messrs HALL and BISHOP were in favor of building, while Messrs KUYKENDALL and ALLEN were not. This leaving a tie, the Probate Judge was called on for his opinion. He thought it proper to not building at present, so the matter was settled on that question and we are not to have any court house for a while.

Good refreshing showers have fallen on us again, and health is remarkably good. W. W. FREDERICK is helping building the Sheffield city. GLEANER A reader of this paper tells us that while in Birmingham recently he had the pleasure of meeting our friend Dr. T. J. SPRINGFIELD, late of Detroit, Ala but who is now living at Townley, a thriving own on the K. C. M. & B. R. R. twelve miles west of Jasper, and his many friends in this county and Lamar will be glad to learn that the Dr. is keeping fully up with the boom and is doing well. He is getting a large practice in a country where every fellow “totes” his own pocket-book, and pays for the medicine he gets, and he is also running a family grocery business, realizing a neat little income that way. The Dr. tells of a very dangerous encounter he had recently with a hundred and eight pound negro that undertook to relive him of his surplus cash and perhaps of his very life blood. Last Saturday night one week ago Dr. SPRINGFILED and his brother were in the store closing the day’s and week’s work. It had been pay day on the road, and they had taken in some cash, which together with what they had on hand amounted to about $375. Great many of their customers were negroes, and some lingered about the store after dark. Mr. S., on leaving the store, told the Dr. to take the cash with him. The Dr. put the money into two picket books, closed the doors and went home. Mrs. SPRINGFIELD was in Birmingham, and there was no one at home except the Dr. and a hired girl. Before going to bed the girl came in and said there was a negro in the yard. He paid no attention to it, and pulled his bed out between the two doors, put the money under his pillow, and retired, but left the lamp burning. Early after midnight he was aroused by hearing a foot fall on the step, and just got out of bed in time to meet the slow but determined advances of a large yellow negro, with a long knife in on hand, and a presented pistol in the other. The negro was induced to leave the room by the unearthly shrieks of the Dr. but in a very dogged manner, keeping his face to the Dr. and his arms presented, walking backward until he got to the door. The same negro is thought to have been seen about the quarters of some of the railroad men and is under suspicion. We would advise the Dr. to handle his case carefully, and keep his shot gun at a convenient distance. The Dr. is a friend to this paper, paid up his subscription and sent us word to continue his paper. The good woman who works can sweep everything before her; while the woman of fashion naturally sweeps everything behind her…………… ATTACHMENT NOTICE ELISHA VICKERY, Plaintiff Vs PRICE & KING, Defts Kansans City Memphis & Birmingham Railroad Company, Garnishee Whereas an attachment issued out of the Circuit court of Marion County Ala. in the above styled cause on the 27th day of July 1887 was duly levied on the 29th day July 1887 and on 2nd day August 1887, in Jefferson county, Alabama by the sheriff of said county, summoning the Kansas City, Memphis & Birmingham Railroad Company as garnishee supposed to e indebted to, or having in its passion or under its control, property belonging to the defendants as provided by law.
