Jan 20th, 1888 WALTER H. MATTHEWS, Judge of Probate OUR WASHINGTON LETTER Anniston Hot Blast: The man who fails to advertise in dull times in on a par with the fellow who refuses to eat because his stomach is empty. WINFIELD NEWS Will you please give us a short space in the columns of the Herald in order that we may merely remind the people of Marion and surrounding counties where Winfield is, what she now is, and what she promises in the near future to be? Winfield is an enterprising little town of about 100 inhabitants, situated on the K. C. M. & B. R. R. about eighty miles northwest of Birmingham, surrounded by a thickly people country, and right in the midst of the most fertile and best farming lands to be found anywhere in the state. Consequently Winfield not only now is but promises to be one of the best towns on the above named road between the Magic City and Amory Miss. Well may our little neighboring stations be envious of their big sister, for about four months ago where Winfield now stands was then a forrest, not a stick of timber amiss, and in so short a time she has almost magically you might say, sprang into existence, with four large business houses, a commodious hotel, and elegant depot just completed, a new post office, et ceatera. We also learned from good authority that another good old reliable firm would soon engage in the mercantile business here. We willingly welcome the many acquisitions to our already prosperous and pleasant little town. Winfield is fast donning the city appearance and we believe the day is not far distant when she will be the garden spot of this whole country. We have up to this time shipped about five hundred bales of cotton from here this season, owing to the fact that most of the farmers had mortgaged their cotton to the merchants at Fayette C., H. but from this time on farmers in and around here will find Winfield to be a better and nearer market, not only for cotton, but also for country produce of all kinds, and we count on shipping not less than two thousand bales of cotton from this point next season. HARKINS, SHELTON & Co., WEBSTER and JONES, BOLAND & MCGAHA and MCCOLLUM & WHITLEY are the names of the four firms doing business here at present. All seem to have a good lively trade. The first named firm are doing quite and extensive business, both here and at Fayette C. H. They are an old and reliable firm and consequently they are buying cotton from and selling goods to people living 20 and 30 miles around. And last, but not least, the health of Winfield is unsurpassingly good, in fact your correspondent is almost constrained to say that it is distressingly healthy. The writer would therefore recommend persons suffering from almost any disease to come to Winfield, breathe its fresh air, drink its pure water and live. B. P. I. Some of the “new leaves” turned down on the first of the year ar e already crumpled on the corners. Ad for Simmons Liver Regulator THE BURROW BROTHERS JAMES BURROW, the Lamar County train robber, who escaped from Pinkerton’s men near Vernon a short time since was arrested in Montgomery on last week and safely locked in. His brother, REUBEN BURROW, said to be most desperate man of the two, made good his escape by running when nearing the station house where they were being conveyed by their captors. He ran down the street with an officer in close pursuit, when BOLL BRAY, a compositor in the advertiser office, started across the street to head him off. BURROW turned and shot BRAY through the body and then continued his flight. It is thought BRAY’S wound may prove fatal. At last account, all efforts to capture BURROW have been of no avail. ALABAMA NEWS Mumps at Vernon. Blountsville has mumps. Tuskegee is again a dry town. The Hartselle Index improves with every issue. Jasper is calling for more residents, workshops and business houses. Cullman is to have a fine hotel in the near future. Pike County farmers are making preparations for planting their crops. A party of 38 emigrants left Birmingham on 24th ult for North Georgia. H. D. Clayton Jr. is spoken of as among the foremost candidates for the States Attorney. “The New South” is the name of a new Democratic Club recently organized in Birmingham. The Anniston Daily Hot Blast is rapidly improving under its new management. J. M. Autry, deputy sheriff of Tuskaloosa County was shot and killed by a negro desperado named Jim Semms on 24th ult. Congressman Wheeler has offered a resolution for the printing of 5,000 extra copies of the report of the board of visitors to the military academy. The Alabama State Wheel paper, published at Moulton, is edited by E. F. Jennings, who has been always a leading Republican in this state. – [Montgomery Advertiser] The Mountain Eagle will issue a special edition about the 15th of February in the interest of the varied and inexhaustible mineral wealth of Walker County. The Probate Judge of Chilton County issued one hundred and eighty-six marriage license during the year 1887, and the View says that all the other branches of matrimonial industry are also progressing finely. THORN HILL Editor Herald: Having not written any thing for you in some time and wishing to rene (sic) our correspondence, we will attempt to give you a few dots. Quite a number of buildings of various kinds are going up in our little town. Mr. A. D. MITCHELL has a nice lot of lumber and says he intends to build a new residence. Mr. C. L. HALEY has his new gear-house half-way completed. Uncle LARKIN CRAFT has a brand new chimney. We are sorrow (sic) to say that Rev. GEORGE WEAVER has moved off some six miles from town, but he will continue to preach for us another year. We learn that W. ATKINSON has disposed of his favorite mule, that a strange “catastrophe.” Thorn Hill has a Wheeler Lodge, recently organized. “Quite proud of it, eh? – nine members. ANDREW TURNER Esq. and Miss VICTORIA LEGE were married in a few days since. We wish the amiable couple a happy life, etc. We are quite pleased with our school, superintended by Prof. W. T. MITCHELL. The school has an uncommon large attendance. We were glad to meet with some of our pretty cousins who visited our school not long since. Our friend, W. W. MCNUTT spent the other night with us. There are over a hundred hands at work on the S. & B. R. R. not more than three miles from here, we learn they are putting down the steel at a rapid rate. We learn that there will be a depot at MILLERS STAND. We were glad to see Mr. LATORN SOUTH in town this evening. He had a number of bags of cotton on his wagon, suppose the “women folks” at his house are going to work. JAY FROM BULL MOUNTAIN Bull Mt., Jan. 23, 1888 Mr. Editor: I have seen several articles of late in the Herald in reference to the Blair Bill, most of them favoring its passage. I am somewhat opposed to that bill and if you will allow me space in our columns I will try to give some of my reasons for that opposition. In the first place, before a state can get the benefit of his appropriation, it has to turn over to the United States authorities its own state school funds and our state school system of education all to be controlled by the United States government. How do you think it would suit us to have officers from other states sent here to take charge of and control our schools; and force negro equality upon us in the schools, if such a thing could be done - and I have no doubt that the attempt would be made? The bill is the most ingeniously contrived scheme to usurp states Rights that has been gotten up since the war. It is an attempt to buy our liberties and that too with our own money. Whose liberties, and honor to, could you not purchase regardless of the price if they would furnish the money? Those in favor of the Blair bill have certainly not studied it as they should, if it proposed to turn over the money to the State authorities to be controlled by the state, it could not be objected to much, but as it retains control of its appropriations and also of the State School funds, I don’t think that states should surrender to the general government the control of their schools. Of all the institutions of state government that of the education of its citizens should be the most sacred of any other, for upon it depends to a great extent the future prosperity and well being of its citizens. – I. J. L. Why is newspaper like a pretty woman? To be perfect it must be the embodiment of many types. Its form is made up. It is always chased, though inclined to be giddy. It enjoys a good press; the more rapid the better. It has a weakness for gossip. Talks a good deal,; can stand some praise, and its awful proud of a new dress. - [Ex] ---------------------- PAGE 2 THE MARION HERALD Published Every Thursday Hamilton, Alabama THE LETTER – (poem) ISABEL’S BUSY DAY – How Billy Balked and Bell Found a Husband - (story) TALMAGE’S SERMON – An Interesting Discourse on the Nobility of True Abnegation PAGE 3 THE NAN-GIN-TSIN – A Description of the Largest Opium Den in the Chinese Empire INEXPENSIVE LIVING – How a Healthy Person Can Live and Grow Fat on a Dime a Day THE BEST POLICY – A Doctor Considers Honesty the First Great Essential in a Sick Room LOSING A FORTUNE – A True Story About Seventeen One Thousand Dollar Bills TRANSPLANTING SKIN – An Interesting Experiment in a New York Medical College Small advertisements AD for Kress Fever Tonic Ad for Prickly Ash Bitters Ad for Pacific Liver Pills 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.

All those who are indebted to me will please come forward and settle at once, as I have retired from business and need all the money due me. Hoping all may come forward without further delay and settle their dues. I am, Very Respectfully G. B. MIXON Revive the prayer meeting. New subscribers coming in daily. Hamilton needs a literary society. Mr. R. I. CAMP’S family moved to town on last week. The Masons met at this place on last Saturday. M. A. KELLEY of Pearce’s Mills was in town on last week. Two commercial travelers in town the first of the week. No new cases of mumps in Hamilton. Mr. ROBERT YOUNG of Vernon was in town on last week. Mr. MAT HALEY was kicked by a horse near this place on last week. Even the little children around Hamilton are petitioning for the Blair Educational Fraud. Misses KATIE and ITTIE FRAZIER of Pikeville are attending school at this place. Mr. MORGAN PEARCE of Texas, Ala. passed through town on Monday last en route for Bexar. A more prosperous school than ours can not be found in Alabama, population considered. Mr. G. W. WILLETT of Pikeville gave the Herald a short but pleasant call while in town on Monday last. Mr. A. T. WILLETT of Pikeville is spending a few days with his son, Mr. R. L. WILLETT of near this place. Mr. JONES BAYETTE is removing the rubbish from off the ground to b occupied by the new Court House. Wake up or the wheel of progress will roll over you and rush out forever the last bone of “fogysim” in your body. Mr. JOHN P. JOHNSON, a sprightly young printer, late of Fulton, Miss. is now working in the Herald office. Our correspondent, writing from Winfield, is quite hopeful over the future of that little city. Read his letter in another column. Don’t fail to advertise your business simply because times are hard and business dull, this is too much like resisting food when you ware weak from want of nourishment. How long before some person will put up a hotel in Hamilton? Strangers passing through town, don’t’ relish having to ride around town till nine or ten o’clock at night looking for some place where they can get accommodations for the night. Misses ANNA and ROSA METCALF, two charming and accomplished young ladies from near Crew’s Mill, were in town on last Sunday. We learn that Miss ROSA will enter school at this place. Our printer thinks it very uncomfortable when upon entering his room at night, to find a measly cat in possession of the place and moving round the room like a lost comet coming to earth. The “protection” organs of this state are doing a great amount of grinding just now, they are in many places running night and day. There is the internal revenue that they have to grind out of existence in the near future, and they are uneasy through fear of not being able to complete the job according to contract, and they well know that unless that law is ground, they can’t keep up “the high toll” on all necessaries of life. And again the Educational food, called the Blair Bill, they can’t afford to have the grain in that bill pass by untouched. It must be ground to the last grain, and sifted out to the people as one of the greatest nourishments for education, ever fostered by a band of Republican educators. Yes, after we have finished the internal revenue corn, when we have plenty of whisky, free whisky and better whisky; and paved the way for more crime, poverty and drunkenness, we will then throw in the great antidote for all this crime and drunkenness the educational wheat, we will then run it through our smutter, and all will come out clear as crystal. We will educate the people, and they will not engage in the manufacture of whisky, but turn their attention to the higher elements of pig iron. Our infant industries will continue to be protected, the bottle will not be taken from their young lips and the money of our grand monopolists swept away, through thousands of people do have to writhe and groan under the heavy burdensome yoke of unjust taxation in order to keep their sucking bottles well filled – they must be protected, let it cost what it may. Whisky must be free as water to secure more starving children to the long list already made by the hellish demon rum. The Blair Bill must be passed, or negroes can never be persuaded to vote the Republican ticket. We the Democratic, Republican, Green-backers have spoken it, and our mil is going to grind it. Our toll comes out of the proceeding of protection to our infants, and we cheerfully do their work according to contract. ------------ In a short time the legislative candidates will be along asking the suffrages of the dear people. He will place his hands on his shirt bosom, roll his eyes toward heaven, and swear that he is the best friend of the dear people that lives. When he reaches the capitol, he will sit in the Legislature with his mouth and eyes wide open, just like any other fool! – [Moulton Advertiser] The Franklin News came out on last week with a new dress. It looks very bright and newsy in its new robe. SHERIFF’S SALE State of Alabama, Marion Co.
