WALTER H. MATTHEWS, Judge of Probate of Marion County Ad for Simmons Liver Regulator LAMAR CONFIRMED Es-Secretary Lamar has been confirmed by the US Senate as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Hurrah for the great Mississippian. “Mumps at Hamilton, our town should quarantine against her immediately” – [Southern Idea] Hardly necessary, mumps would never cross Little Bear Creek, and even if the disease should cross, it would be ambushed before it could possibly reach Russellville. Attend to your business and regard it as being worthy of your attention. Working men, of all classes, are apt to consider that their occupations alone are laborious, in that they are very much mistaken. Labor of mind is productive of even greater fatigue than labor of the body and it is quite erroneous to suppose that others do not work as well as we do, simply because their work is different from ours. Labor is the earthly condition of man, and to live without a purpose is to lead a very restless life. The state of Alabama, Marion County To owner unknown and all other parties in interest, you will take notice that a motion has been made in the Probate Court of said county praying for an order to substitute upon the records of said court, decrees rendered and proceedings had at the April term 1885 at the Probate court for said county, for the sale of the following described lands for delinquent taxes, to wit: SW ¼ of NE ¼ Sec 18 T 10 R 12, the original proceedings and decrees had on said lands which originally proceedings and decrees have been destroyed by fire, and that the 21st day of February 1888 be set to hear said motion at which time all parties in interest may appear and resist said motion if they think proper.

The mayor of Jasper gets $100 per annum, and the Marshal gets $300 with fees. The Anniston Watchman is urging the establishment of an industrial school for girls. The Probate Judge of Sumpter County issued seventy-five marriage license during last December. Judge David Day, a distinguished Republican, died at his home in Hartselle on 10th inst. Congressman Wheeler has introduced a bill into Congress to increase the pay of fourth-class post-masters. Tuskaloosa is the only town on the Queen & Crescent line between Birmingham and New Orleans, in which whisky can be procured. Tom Ellis, editor of the Hornet, a vile sheet published at Birmingham, put three bullets into a detective in that city on last week. Birmingham’s “Buzzard’s Roost” continues to boom. -------------- The Moulton Advertiser gives a full account of the late Lawrence County Wheel meeting, and it appears that many of the delegates were beastly drunk – [Blountsville News] The G. P. R. R. has recently added to its rolling stock three new forty- eight ton passenger engines. The engines were made at the Baldwin Locomotive works in Philadelphia, and are pronounced to be as fine engines as were ever brought South. The Enquirer is loud in its call for a County fair to be held in Morgan. The Enquirer is correct, Morgan should have a fair, and in addition to her vast resources she could get up a wonderful exhibit in the way of candidates. The writer passed through Hartselle about a month ago and the woods between Somerville and that town were full of them; and they have been cropping out ever since. A DRUNKARD’S APPEAL Ad for Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid There is a lady at Abbeville who puts on the old man’s breeches and goes out after him when he stays longer than 10 o’clock at night – [Moulton Advertiser] Nothing remarkable about that, plenty of them in this section who donned the “breeches” within twenty-four hours after the silken knot was tied and have been wearing them on all important occasions ever since. The blizzard that swept down upon us from the Northwest expended itself in a drizzle. This reminds us of the tariff sentiment that swept down from the Northeast. – [Montgomery Advertiser] TRAIN ROBBERS Vernon, Jan. 15 – [Special] – Five of Pinkerton’s men, accompanied by the sheriff of this county went out yesterday morning to arrest JAMES and REUBEN BURROW, under a requisition for robbing a train near Texarkana, about the 10th of December last. They surrounded JAMES BURROW’S house and held him up for an instant, when he made a bold run and was fired on twelve or fifteen times by the detectives but made a miraculous escape. It is reported that t ball from a repeating rifle passed through his shirt dollar. The matter was a great surprise to the people here. The young men had lately moved back from Texas where they have been living for a short time, and are well known and connected her. They are represented by the men who were hunting them as being desperate and determined men. They are still at large and the detectives have left the county at present – [Birm.

Next thing we know Bill Chandler will have those people up there so worked up from fear of an invasion by the Mississippi brigade that they will be having snakes in their boots. – [Birmingham Herald] If a man spends several winters in Dakota he ought to be in good trim to start on a journey to discover the North Pole – [Register] PAGE 2 THE MARION HERALD Published Every Thursday Hamilton, Alabama AROUND THE HEARTH – (poem) THE FORTUNES OF WAR – A Romantic Tale of Life in Goat’s Hollow THE ROME OF TODAY READING FOR THE YOUTH A POEM FOR RECITATION – (Poem) TRIXY’S LESSON – An Adventure in a Tub – Why There was No Wood Party YOUNG OSTRICHES – What Grandma Knows About these Qu eer and Awkward Birds PAGE 3 SEEKING EASY PLACES – A Poor Way of Achieving Successful Recognition in life HARMONY OF SEA-BIRDS – a Concert Heard Among the Islands North and west of Scotland SOME STRANGE CONFESSIONS NEW ANAESTHETIC – A Horse-Doctor’s Valuable Medical Discovery in Louisiana THE MARKETS – (prices for produce and meats) CHIEF OF STRANGLERS – A Hideous Old Thing Tried His Terrible Arts on a Tourist FUNERAL OF A CHINESE SAILOR Small advertisements Ad for Pacific Liver Pills Ad for Hood’s Sarsaparilla Ad for Prickly Ash Bitters PAGE 4 THE HERALD Subscription Rates One year in advance - $1.00 Six months in advance - $0.50 Three months in advance $0.25 In clubs of ten or more, 80 cents each.

GAST paid Pikeville a short visit on Tuesday last. Our friend WESLEY CLARK is writing in the Probate Judge’s office this week. Rev. W. C. RICE occupied the pulpit at this place on Sunday last. Mr. J. R. PEARCE and lady of Bexar visited relatives at this place on Sunday lat. Messrs D. W. and W. W. OZBIRN of Hackelburg were in town last Sunday. Mr. F. LANGSTON of the progressive little city of Guin was in town on Sunday last. Snow remained on our streets from 15th to 23rd inst. How is this for “The Sunny South” The attendance at school for the past week has been unusually small. Cause – mud and snow. Mr. PAUL BISHOP, of Bexar, was circulating among his many friends on our streets last Tuesday. A communication from Palo and also one from Thorn Hill received too late for this issue. They will appear in the next. The rumor that Mr. L. J. CLARK, our efficient Circuit Court Clerk, would resign his office has cease, and we are pealed to learn that he will hold his position. Sickness in our town is gradually abating, those whose illness we have previously mentioned are all improving and considered as being out of immediate danger. Mr. FRANK ALLEN, of Pearce’s Mills, has been in town for the past few days attending the bedside of his little daughter LULA, who has been quite sick with pneumonia, but is now improving. We welcome to our town Mr. J. C. CAMP and family, late of Caudle. They are occupying the GAST house. Mr. CAMP, we learn, will begin sawing the lumber for the new court house as soon as a suitable location for his mill can be obtained. Mr. ROBERT CAMP has purchased the stock of goods owned by Mr. G. B. MIXON of this place and is now engaged in the mercantile business here. Mr. CAMP ha s been one of our many successful farmers and the Herald wishes him equal success in his new field. It would take seventeen weather prophets such as Wiggins, to tell when the weather would be just the thing wanted by the mail carriers in order for them to reach Hamilton with the mail. With the carrier, however, it is quite different. He never has the least idea (and of course he is right about it) of coming if he sees bright prospects for a cold wave, or if a rain has fallen the day before. Oh no, he is too sharp for that and we are glad of it. He usually waits until after the sun has shone out and dried up the mud, then if he thinks there is anybody around Hamilton wanting their mail, he ventures out doors, and after scanning the clear sky to make sure that a cyclone will not get up and overtake him before he reaches town, gallops in with the mail. Greets everyone with news concerning the weather, gets his return mail, and goes home for the winter. LAWRENCE CO. WHEEL – Delegates Trying to Promote Temperance by Getting on a “Pleasant Jamboree” If we are to judge from what the Moulton Advertiser says in regard to the late Lawrence County Wheel meeting held in Moulton, it was a grand affair – in the way of drunkenness and immorality – and still further deepens our convictions that the great wheel is a great fraud. The Advertiser says there were nine delegates to this love feast, down between two houses, so drunk that they could not distinguish midnight from noon day. The Wheel is a great lover of temperance but the delegates were only mistaken about the method by which the great cause could be best promoted, so they tried to get on the outside of all the “Red Eye’ in town so that the Moulton folks would have to keep straight. All the delegates who were drunk are styled by the Advertiser as “distinguished guests from other counties.” We are pleased to know that this much can be said to the credit of Moulton. It is enough for her to entertain a body of “distinguished guest’ such as were congregated on her usually quiet streets during said meeting, for the purpose of promoting temperance and discussing the better methods of political farm planning. The Wheel in this county maybe considered already dead. Some are yet hading on the tail of the critter, waiting for the millennium, but the mass of the people are sick of it; and in many instances those who were hood-winked into it by the “grand royal leaders” are now ashamed to acknowledge that they ever belonged to the organization. In conversation with a reformed member not long since, he told us that on the day set apart for the last meeting at this place there were not enough members on the ground to start the wheel song. We say, let it go: “To the vile source from whence it sprung, unwept, unhonored, and unsung.” “Anarchist paper at Birmingham” says an Exchange. Wonder if the Hornet and Sentinel have consolidated? If the President’s policy of reducing and revising the present burdensome tariff is a “radigal measure” why do the Republicans join hands with MR. Randall in condemning it? The Montgomery Dispatch has this to say in regard to the Blair Educational Bill being made an issue in the coming state canvass: “The Blair Bill ought to be made a prominent issue in the coming state canvass. The people have a right to know all about this national fraud. “The editor of the Marion Herald must be a daisy, he says “We arrived with the county safe a few days since, after travel of six days under ground.” – [Birmingham Herald” Well, no, the editor of the herald is not exactly “a daisy”. The truth is the editor had nothing to do with the above item. It was only a “get up” of our 200 pound devil, who engaged in the safe business during our absence and who is, beyond question, a most magnificent “daisy.” The high tariff press of the country is airing the term “free trader” for all it is worth. We do not believe that there are a dozen absolute free traders in the state. It is true that the people throughout the country are fully awake to a sense of the injustice being imposed upon them by over-taxation, thereby hoarding up several million annually in the treasury that is not needed for an economical maintenance of the government – all demand a reduction. These same organs are clamoring for a repeal of the internal revenue, but our people prefer that the tax on whisky and tobacco remain unchanged rather than be repealed for the sake of keeping up the iniquitous tax on the real necessaries of life.
