WHITE, (Post office Building) Hamilton, Alabama THE MARION HERALD JAMES S. CLEMENTS, Editor Hamilton, Alabama Thursday October 20, 1887 Yellow fever has appeared in Tampa, Florida but as the disease was brought from Key West, and said to be of a mild type, it can in all probability be prevented from spreading. Severe comment from the press is being caused by the absorption of the B. & O. telegraph by the Western Union and the monopoly of the entire telegraph system of the country by Jay Gould. ----------- The good people of Isbell as in fact the whole of Franklin County, are to be congratulated as we learn that the Wheel organ which has been rolling up communistic filth for them for some time past is to be moved to Moulton. The citizens of the ancient old capital of Lawrence have our hearty condolence. So long as our farmers are dependent on the merchants for all necessary supplies, so long agriculture will languish, and the cry of “hard times” be heard on every hand. Let them so diversify their crops that money will be coming in all through the year. Increase the acreage in corn, wheat, oats, rye, clover, etc., and plant less cotton. When this is done, and not before the grinding mortgage will be set aside and the farmers freed from their present embarrassing circumstances. The patrons and friends of the Hamilton Male and Female school will to forget that the school will open on next Monday the 24th day of October to continue for then consecutive months. The best opportunity is offered to the people of the community, and the county to have their children thoroughly educated in all the practical branches of learning. Such as is needed in the every day business of life. The citizens in and around town are in earnest in this matter, and will board your children at its actual cost – they want to build up the school. Tuition and board are both cheap, so send in your children, and let’s have a good school at Hamilton. The teachers are determined, if they can get the cooperation of the patrons, to make the school a success. Don’t forget that it opens Monday to continue ten months. Try to start your children the first day, and continue them in school, the whole time. The Alabama Enquirer contained in its last issue a wood cut of the Hon. Samuel Blackwell, and a brief sketch of his past life both private and public……….. IS IT RIGHT Oakville, Ala. Oct. 1, 1887 WHITE & WHITE: Sirs: I see questions asked and answered in your paper. I wish to ask some for information. 1st – Did the state Wheel allow the president a salary of $200.00 for three days work, $66.66 2 3 a day? 2nd – Did they allow W. L. WHITE, the vice president $50.00 for his salary and no work at all? 3rd – Did they allow J. M. CLARK a salary of $300.00 as secretary treasurer? 4th – Is it the principle of the Wheel to tax each Wheeler 10 c, and collect hundreds of dollars in the treasury, then pay it out to officers for a few hours work? Wheelers think of it. By answering the above questions you will oblige many Wheelers. A WHEELER At the risk of loosing our scalp and being stigmatized as a hypocrite, we will venture to answer the above questions. We turn to the proceedings of the late state Wheel Convention, held at an obscure place in Blount County, some few weeks ago and will base our remarks on what that August Body accomplished. They first resolved to pay the expenses of J. S. DAILY in attending two State Wheel Conventions. No specified sum is named, and we are unable to say what amount the dear brother received. Next a resolution was passed to remunerate Bro. R. M. CLARK for his extra services “since last meeting.” No one can tell from the resolution, anything about “is extra eservices” or what sum of money he received for same. This seems to be left entirely optional with our worthy grand president, and he can charge all eh thinks the Wheel will stand, or his big heart may dictate. Next – a committee, consisting of J. M. CLARK, JOHN C. HARRIS, L. T. KEY, and R. G. MALONE, was appointed to wait on JOHN A. POPE, late state secretary-treasurer. These precious, loving brethren are “to be remunerated for their time and expenses while hounding down the derelict ex-secretary. They can spend all the time they nay desire on this holy mission, and charge all their consciences will let them. However, if POPE is as hard to find as he is to hear from, the committee may spend six months without so much as getting on his trail. In the meantime, they must be “remunerated for the time and expenses.’ Next – R. M. CLARK, grand worthy president, was voted a salary of just $200.00 per year for his services. His duty is to preside over the state Wheel, sign his name all charters and orders on the treasurer, & c. The $200.00 salary pays him handsomely for all he does to “advance the interest of our noble order.” W. L. WHITE the worthy grand vice president, was voted $50.00 per year for his services. His duty is to play second fiddle to the president, and to sneeze when the boss takes snuff. We find no mention of what J. M. CLARK, secretary-treasurer, is to receive as his salary but Col. E. F. JENNINGS tells us that the amount was placed at $200 .00 per year. He has a great deal to do, and his salary perhaps is not too large. It is no big sum for the work performed, yet it comes up in dimes from the pockets of men who are not able to squander a cent. There are other little sums in time and money, which if added together would run up in to the thousands. We have given a fair answer to our enquiring friend, for which we expect to be abused by a set of men who are noted more for their ignorance and prejudice than for brains and common decency. – [Moulton Advertiser] The booming wave that has been sweeping over Alabama for some time will strike us ere long, so be patient. A FASCINATING GIRL – (short story continued from previous issues) THOUGHT HE WAS FROM WINSTON The best thing that happened at the circus last Saturday was the clown playing off as a countryman. When he looked over his shoulder and saw the hippopotami he broke off around the circus ring at a brakeneck pace, and so real was his impersonation of a countryman that many thought him a resident of Winston County. We don’t know whether it is so or not, but we have been informed that the clown’s wild look stamped Capt. MADDOX as he was coming in, and it is said that it was hard to tell which one of them made the best time getting from under the tent. – [Gazette] Simmons Liver Regulator TAKE WARNING At the U. S. Court at Huntsville last week about 75 to 80 defendants from Marion County went before the court and entered a plea of guilty and upon the application of Capt. J. H. BANKHEAD, Gen. JOSEPH WHEELER, and others sentence was suspended upon condition that all the defendants who own or control stills, would deliver them to the collect at Hamilton, within 30 days. And all who have been guilty of removing or aiding etc would locate the stills they knew of for the collector. The consequence is all the stills in the county have been located, and the Court further agreed that those running stills in the county who were not arraigned at the last term of the court might have the benefit of the same leniency if they would go before some Commissioner and enter a plea of “guilty” and deliver their stills to the deputy collector. The court announced that all who did not take advantage of those propositions would be dealt with according to rigor of the law. Maj. CHAPMAN, Dept. Collector TUTWILER, Com. COOPER, and Capt. WHITE will be at Hamilton next week to attend to this matter. Now let all violators of the law come up and accept pardon on the easy and amicable terms of the – the court. JOHN .A. POPE The perfect weather of yesterday enticed the people in multitudes out to the beautiful and quiet suburbs, and all day long the dummy trains upon all the roads running out of the city were crowded with passengers. there is no city in America of Birmingham’s population which has so may charming resorts, where the business and laboring men can take their families at a trifling cost for a Sunday afternoon of quiet enjoyment and rest from the cares and toil of the week, nor is there a city where this privilege is apparently more highly appreciated and generously used than here. - [Birmingham Herald] Last Sunday’s issue of the Birmingham Herald came to us with 32 pages filled with advertisements, live literary articles, locals and sound editorials. This shows what a live town can do for a real live newspaper – not yet three moths old. The Montgomery fair is now is full blast. Success to it.

WHITE paid Aberdeen a short visit on last week. Work on Dr. KEY’S new residence is progressing rapidly. ‘Squire KEY spent part of his week with friends at Bexar. The friendly “howdy-do” of the candidate will soon be heard in the land. The honorable Commissioners have purchased a safe for the preservation of the county records. Cranks and schemers are numerous in the land, but their predictions seldom prove true. As yet we haven’t heard any one speak of going to the state Fair. Our citizens have petitioned for a daily mail from this place to Guin station. Messrs. L. J. CLARK and W. R. WHITE paid the city of Detroit a visit on Sunday last. Rev. J. B. STEADHAM died at his home near Russellville Franklin County on 8th inst. Court closed on last Thursday evening, only three cases were tried two criminal and one civil. Born – To Mr. and Mrs. WALTER H. MATTHEWS on last week, a fine girl. There was a mistake made in the card of the Hamilton Male and Female school which appeared in last weeks paper – note the change. Mrs. W. T. GAST, we regret to say has been quite sick for several days. Hope she will be quite well again soon. The Herald is neither dead nor dying, but is still in the ring and steadily gaining ground. Mrs. A. J. HAMILTON and her accomplished daughter Miss ELLA left on last week to attend the Atlanta Exposition. Some parties camping in the jail room last week thoughtlessly left fire burning and came near setting fire to the building. We learn that the Hon. JOSEPH WHEELER was in attendance at the recent term of the Franklin County Circuit Court. Deputy Sheriff J. C. WEATHERLY and family returned from Mississippi on Monday last, where the latter have been visiting relatives for several days. Chancellor Cobbs held his first court here last Thursday – he enjoys the reputation of being the best chancellor in the state. Some of our exchanges are making a deal of useless racket over Bankhead’s post on the tariff. Our honorable Congressman will settle this question in a few months. The grand jury of Franklin Co after thoroughly investigating the recently killing of BAYLESS WILLIAMS, returned no bill The Hamilton School will open on Monday next. Our citizens should rise to a sense of their duty and make a good school this winter. No county in the state can boast of having fewer prisoners in its jail than Marion, within the past six months. Our jail has had but 3 occupants and they only remained for one and two days each. The residence of Mr. JOHN A. POPE, situated about two and one-half miles South of his place, was destroyed by fire on last Monday night. It is thought to have been caused by leaving fire in the kitchen stove. With the exception of a very few articles, the entire contents of the building was destroyed. Mr. POPE is a good citizen of the county and his friends will regret to lean of his great misfortune. Lay in your supply of wood for the coming winter. We learn that Judge BRUCE granted pardon to a number of our county men on last week. The men to whom pardon was granted were charged with illicit distilling and on promise that they would deliver up their stills and henceforth obey the revenue law the pardon was granted. THORN HILL NEWS Thorn Hill, Ala. October 14th 1887 Editor Herald: Not seeing anything from this place of late we will endeavor to give you a few dots this week.

SILVESTER STATE NORMAL COLLEGE AT FLORENCE The state Normal College at Florence has more students in attendance than ever before in the history and is receiving additions every day.

KEY, Ass’t GRAND JURY REPORT The State of Alabama, Marion County Circuit Court October Term 1887 To the Hon. H. C. SPEAKE, Judge The grand jury for said county and term would respectfully report that they have examined into all the indictable offenses committed within the county and have returned indictments in all cases where the law and the public good required. We have examined the office of the Probate Judge and find his books well kept, fees properly charged, and the office in good order. The same may be said of the offices of the Sheriff and Circuit Clerk. The Superintendent of Education has his office in proper order, and we have examined his accounts and vouchers and counted the money and find it all correct. The account of the County treasurer shows that: At the last term of this Court there was on hand $1277.86 Collected since 529.07 TOTAL 1806.93 Paid out to October 10th, 1887 1444.11 Balance Oct. 10th 362.14 SPECIAL TAX Total paid $522.59 Paid to October 10th 1887 326.61 On hand 195.98 FINE AND FORFEITURE FUND 295.69 Paid out to October 10th 1887 182.37 Balance on hand 113.32 Redemption Fund, Total 132.14 Paid out to Oct. 10th, 1887 45.19 Balance on hand 86.95 Excess Land Fund at Spring Term Total $297.98 Paid out since 297.98 Outstanding indebtedness on Gen’l Fund $252.53 Bonded Indebtedness $3979.86 Indebtedness on Fine and Forfeiture Fund $1655.01 There have been no prisoners in jail and consequently there was no necessity for the Clerk and Judge to visit the jail as required by law. The jail is in good condition. The court house was burned before the last term of this court, and has not been rebuilt. The taxable property of the county has increased about twenty-five per cent in the last twelve months. We have examined the bonds of the public officers and recommend that they all be required to give waiver bonds, said bonds not being sufficient without such waiver. We recommend that the Court of County Commissioners be requested to proceed forth with to erect a suitable court house. And now having performed our duties to the best of our ability, we ask to be discharged. JAMES G. DONADLSON, Foreman HACKLEBURG LOCALS Hackelburg, Ala.
