GUITEAU’S CURSE The yes of the people throughout Alabama are now eagerly looking toward Montgomery. The people are taking an unusual amount of interest in the Vincent trial now pending before the courts in that city. We would like to know whose land the Editor of the Wheel has his eye upon for a share. – [Franklin News] Mr. R. D. SOUTH living nine miles south east of Fayette has discovered coal on his place. The deposit is fifteen or twenty inches thick. The person reporting this fact says that Davis creek, which empties into Sipsey some ten miles below this place has abundance of coal. – [Fayette Journal] Yellow jack still lingers at Key West. DIED LIKE A GENTLEMAN One of the most interesting incidents of the late war is told of Gen Lytle, just before he received his fatal wound at Chickamauga………………. Capt. M. C. Dillehay who has been conductor on a passenger train between the cities of Montgomery and Nashville, for a long time, and a man whose utterance were always taken for solid truths……………. Prohibition was defeated in Texas by an overwhelming majority of 100,000. The Knights of Labor in Illinois have wisely concluded to have nothing to do with Henry George and his wonderful land theories. WILL THERE BE RAILROADS IN HEAVEN – (by Bill Arp) A DREADFUL DILEMNA STRIKE FOR LIBERTY What do you mean? Who are slaves or serfs? We heard an intelligent farmer say yesterday morning there had not been such a prospect for an abundant corn crop in twenty years as we now have. What are you going to do with it? Sell it this fall for 25 and 30 cents and next spring buy it back at from 85 cents and $1 per bushel with which to make another crop? Would it not pay to send up West and get a few car loads of sows and pigs and turn your surplus corn into meat? Or, but they would all take the cholera and die. Well, suppose you hunt around and find a few old cows that are likely to go under when the frost kills the grass and leaves, and stall-feed them for beef cattle. Great quantities of beef is shipped from the West to Birmingham Montgomery and New Orleans, and we have no idea that these cities are prejudiced against Alabama or Tuskaloosa beef. The gentleman alluded to said that now was a good time for the farmers to meet and devise some plan by which to overcome the effect of the disorganized or diverted condition of labor soon to be realized by the farmers. He said there was not better country for stock-raising, and that ought to make an organized effort to go into the stock business. But he sighed, and said the farmers would never organize for the betterment of their condition – don’t comprehend the meaning and force of concerted action in anything – every man is for himself. We sympathize with our friends, but he must not be discouraged, the boom can’t get along without the farmers, and whenever they organize a “farmers boom” the whole country will start forward on such an era of prosperity as it has never known. A dozen farmers – intelligent, determined farmers – are enough to put the ball in motion. Farm machinery must take the place of diverted labor – fat cattle and their products must supply the deficiency of cotton bales. Fewer bales, more meat and bread, less worry, and more money in the purse is the economic problem, solved. – [Tuskaloosa Gazette] GEN. JACKSON’S DEATH BED The festive water melon is here and he comes as a home product but his price is the price of the striped importation from Georgia. But never mined the price; it is well worth it, and the rich succulent fruit is both wholesome and palatable……. THE NEW SOUTH Governor Taylor of Tennessee in a late speech filled with patriotism, well and truly said of the South: “The old civilization of the South is dead. Its old institutions are dead. The old prejudices are dead and forever buried in the painful past. Of the old south nothing now remains but precious memories. We love them, we cherish them, we keep them green. They linger with us like the perfume of flowers that are faded and gone. We stand today in the midst of a new civilization, born of the brawn and brain of a changed and progressive people, and founded upon free education, free thought and free labor. The scene before us today represents that new civilization – the spirit that gives a prophecy of the grand and inevitable destiny of the south………. FACE TO FACE – Special to St. Louis Globe –Democrat Ad for Simmons Liver Regulator One of the most shocking railroad accidents that has ever occurred in the history of railroading happened on the 11th inst on the Toledo, Peoria and Western railroad…….. NOTICE TO WHEELERS I have just received a letter from the President of the Co. Wheel of Itawamba County, Miss. stating the Wheel and Farmers’ Alliance of said county will meet in convention at Fulton on the 20th inst for the purpose of transacting some very important business, and that they desire the cooperation of the Wheelers of Marion county. Each Sub. Wheel is requested to send one delegate. This August 8th 1887 T. J. FARRIS, secretary Marion Co. Wheel The jury in the first case against Vincent returned a verdict of guilty and recommend him to the mercy of the court. Bud Veal, the Stone Mountain merchant who killed C. D. Horn in Atlanta recently was to have a preliminary trial in that city on 13th inst. Veal is still confined in the city prison and suffering a great deal from the effects of his wound.

KUYKENDALL L. M. ALLEN Mr. W. W. OSBIRN of Hackelburg was in town on last week. New goods at W. R. WHITE’S cheap for cash. Mr. W. B. DICKINSON of near Goldmine was in town on last week and called on the Herald. If you want cheap goods for cash – go to G. B. MIXON. He will certainly sell goods cheap for cash. The “fodder-pulling” season is now at hand – our farmers should not neglect saving a good supply. Mr. JAMES M. GAST spent part of this week and last with family and friends at this place. Wool, beeswax, and dry hides bought at W. R. WHITE’S and goods in return at cash figures. It is possible for locks to keep out thieves, but the liar can always gain admittance through the keyhole. G. B. MIXON keeps constantly on hand a full supply of meat, flour, coffee, and sugar, which he will sell for a very small profit for cash. Mr. GREEN HOLLIS of near Beaverton, Lamar County, has been visiting friends in and near town for several days. We call your special attention to the advertisement of the Florence Normal College which appears in another column. County and state Claims bought by W. R. WHITE. We are sorry to learn that Mr. R. E. DUNN, living near town has been quite sick for several days. Hope he will be out again soon. Only a few of the Congregational Methodist met on last Saturday. Consequently they did not go into convention. Their next meeting for the purpose of organizing a new district will be held at Bexar. “That’s a relation of yours, isn’t it?” said a man to his wife, at the same time pointing to a donkey. “Yes, by marriage” was her stinging reply. A few more clock tickets to give away. Call and get one. – W. R. WHITE U. S. Commissioner D. N. COOPER, after spending several days at Fayette C. H. returned on last Sunday to this place and is now ready for the “boys.” If you have wool, hides, and beeswax for sale, call on G. B. MIXON, before selling elsewhere. He will pay the highest prices. Quite a number of our citizens are contemplating the idea of purchasing new buggies while some have already made an order. In fact nearly every man you meet is wanting to trade for some sort of “rig” from a broken down wheelbarrow to a jersey wagon. Mr. PINKNEY BISHOP accompanied by his charming daughter, Miss EMILY, took leave of their relatives at this place on Tuesday last and started for Texas. If they are pleased with the Lone Star State they will make it their future home. Otherwise they will return in the fall. The Herald wishes them a safe and pleasant journey. FROM MISSISSIPPI Utica, Miss, Aug. 7th 1887 Editor Herald: As I once lived on the line of Fayette and Marion counties, but am now living in the good old county of Hinds, one of the best in the broad old state of Miss. I thought I would write a few dots for the Herald. There is a very good colony of us living near here composed mainly of people from Marion and Fayette counties. There are probably fifteen families in all, and only one of that number is taking your paper, Mr. J. L. LEE. I have read some interesting letters in your paper from different portions of old Marion. The first thing I wish to speak of is the crops. We have as fine a crop of corn as was ever known in this part, and all about made. Our cotton did look promising, but the worm has made his appearance and is doing considerable damage. If ear they will clean it up in a short time. We don’t expect more than half a crop of cotton. The Farmer’s Alliance are working for each other in this section, and the merchants are wearing long faces in consequence thereof. We have considerable sickness here now, such as chills and fever. For fear this will find its way to the waste basket, we will close for the present, hoping to have the privilege of writing another soon, giving a full description of this part of Dixie. Wishing the Herald a long life and much success, I am yours respectfully P. E. W. “Our friend Clements of the Marion Herald is becoming excited on the railroad question” – [Southern Idea] Ah! Indeed, friend WILLIE, becoming excited are we? Now, because thou are kept in a constant state of excitement looking around for something with which to “boom” your town, don’t be trying to induce people to suppose that we are in a similar condition. The great cry among our farmers that their occupation don’t pay, arises more from an absence of systematic management and economy than from any want of quantity of crops. There are very few farmers in this country that give the amount of attention to the small things on the farm that they should. Close economy and good study work is all our people need to make them a financial success. Our worthy contemporary, the Eutaw Mirror voices our sentiments throughout in speaking of the kind of men we need to manage the affairs of the government. He says: “We want to see the affairs of this government from President down to Constable run by men of the Grover Cleveland and Tom Seay stripe – young, vigorous, wise, patriotic and progressive, with courage to guard jealously the trust given into their care, and brain and information enough to know what to do and when to do it without asking assistance.” DETROIT NEWS Detroit, Ala. August 15th 1887 Editor Herald: We are not as jubilant over our crops as we were at our last writing. The rust is injuring the cotton crop in some localities. Our popular friend JAS. M. RIGGAN left on last Tuesday morning for Okolona, Ark. where he expects to become salesman for his cousin JOHN M. RIGGAN. We regret to loose JIMMIE from among us, but as it is our fate, we can only hope that our loss will be both pleasant and profitable to him. Dr. STANLEY’S family are sojourning at Henson Springs this week. Some sickness around town but none serious. Rev. DUNCAN closed his meeting at Wesley Chapel yesterday. After nine days service, he was rewarded with eighteen accessions to the M. E Church, and $19.00 subscription to the Missionary cause. The Missionary Baptists are carrying on a protracted meting at Liberty Hill this week. Mr. JOHN MORGAN and family of Lee County, Miss. are visiting at W. F. HAMILTON’S this week. CLIP The Wheel Editor has resurrected that old political skeleton, forty acres and a mule, and put a new dress upon it – [Franklin News] Yes, and a mother Hubbard at that. But her garments are no longer capable of shielding the intention of the Wheel from the gaze of our good citizens, a great man of whom were induced to join the machine, thinking it would bring relief in the end. But are beginning to find out that it means politics, and nothing but politics. Wonder what’s become of the Franklin County Wheeler that so positively declared his intention of deserting the Wheel when they rolled her into politics? Time for him to begin moving if he don’t want a slice of the political cake. STATE NORMAL COLLEGE, Florence, Alabama. T. J. MITCHELL, PH. D. President. Superior Advantages.
