III HAMILTON, ALABAMA, THURSDAY MARCH 1, 1888 NO. 47 The Marion Herald – Issued Every Thursday by the Herald Publishing Co JAMES. S. CLEMENTS, Editor EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT Tennessee Democrats are yelling against Gov. Taylor. How long will the people of the North and West continue to remain in the land of cyclones and blizzards when they can come south and enjoy it? A New Jersey man is trying electricity in a means of capital punishment. If the experiment proves a success Foraker should be heavily loaded before the flag question is again introduced. The Democratic National Committee met at Willard’s Hal in New York City on Feb. 22nd to select a time and place for holding the National Convention. St. Louis secures the prize, and June 5th is the time set apart for the meeting. Jay Gould is said to be negotiating with the Rothschilds to form a mammoth Trust Company by which they could control the finances of the world and take a mortgage on the moon. If the grand jury of New York City will do its duty, Little Jay and Russell Sage will not take part in many more “trusts” but will be safely lodged in the penitentiary. --------------------- LETTER FROM WOLF SPRING – A DREAM Wolf Springs, Ala., Feb 14, 1888 Editor Advertiser – (a dream about death of the Agricultural Wheel) ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES OF FARMING EVENTS THAT HAPPENED ON FRIDAY The “Democratic Voters” of eh dear old county of Morgan, who are calling for Dr. J.

GAST has been quite ill for the past few days. Serenaders were out on last Saturday night. MR. G. B. MIXON is visiting Aberdeen this week. Mr. J. C. CAMP is off on business at Aberdeen this week. We received a communication from Detroit and one from Sheffield this week. They will appear next week. Mr. J. LOCHRIDGE, of near Tremont, Miss. was in town on Friday last. Dr. M. C. MARTIN paid Aberdeen a visit this week. Fresh Garden Seeds and Irish potatoes at W. R. WHITE’S - cheap for cash. Mrs. MICHEAL HAMILTON of Bexar visited relatives in this city on last week. Mr. WARREN LOWREY of near Guin visited our town on last week – on “business” of course. A slight snow fell on last Sunday night but soon departed before the warm rays of Monday’s sunshine. JAMES HANEY who is charged with counterfeiting was removed from the jail at this place, to the Huntsville jail on Sunday last. MARY KEY, an old and respected colored woman of this place, has been quite ill for the past few days, but is now convalescent. I have just received a complete stock of dry goods, notions, hats, boots, shoes & groceries which will be sold cheap for cash. W. R. WHITE Rev. JOHN W. WHITE delivered some appropriate remarks to a large and attentive audience on last Thursday night. He is a competent minister, and his sermons are always to the point. Married – Near Hamilton, on 23rd ult. at the residence of the bride’s father, Mr. JAS. RUDSELL to Miss ARTIE CARPENTER. The Herald extends congratulations. Mr. W. A. DUNN, an intelligent young gentleman of near this palce but who is now teaching near Pine Springs was in to see us on Monday last. We sympathize with Mr. W. T. GAST, in the loss of one of his Guinea pigs, which occurred on last Saturday morning. It met its fate by a naughty “purp” which happened to pass through the room where the little pigie did reside and thinking probably it was a rabbit or rate, sprang upon it, and before any one could come to its relief the Guinea pig was no more. On last Monday night the citizens of this city met at the law office of W. H. KEY, for the purpose of employing a teacher to take charge of the class in instrumental music, which is being organized at this place. The writer being present, recommended as a competent person, to take charge of, and instruct said class in instrumental music, Miss ANGIE BALDRIDGE, of Fulton, Miss. whereupon it was agreed to employ Miss BALDRIDGE as teacher, the school to open the 3rd Monday in March. OUR SCHOOL What about our school? What is it doing, and what progress is it making? These are questions that are frequently asked by patrons of any school. The best answer we can give to such person or persons in regard to our present school at this place, is to come and see for yourselves. We say to the patrons of the school at this place; come and see what progress is being made. It has a tendency to cheer the hearts of the teachers, stimulate and encourage the children, satisfies your own minds and is a mutual benefit to all. We received an invitation to visit the school at this place on Friday last and witness the examination of the students in the different branches of learning; we responded to the invitation, and was fully compensated for our visit by witnessing a most creditable examination from all students present. Both the principal and assistant of this school are indefatigable workers for the cause of education, and their labors are by no means in vain, as nay one can see, who will attend the school and listen to the recitations from the different classes. Most of the complaints against the teachers of our schools today arise from some supposed grievance or imaginative wrongs, than from any negligence on the part of the teachers and which could in most cases be avoided if parents would only visit the schools and see for themselves. We take great pleasure in reporting our school to be flourishing in every respect, so far as the management is concerned. It is true the enrollment is not by far what it should be, but teachers are not responsible for this. Children should attend regularly; it is impossible to keep a school well classified unless the attendance is regular. These are a hundred children in and around Hamilton, who ought to be in school every day. We would say to the parents of such: Wake up to the better interest of your children, and grasp these golden opportunities while they are held out to you. AFTER THE MOONSHINERS, SIX ILLICIT DISTILLERIES DESTROYED AND FOUR MEN CAPUTRED On last Thursday night (23rd ult) a party of revenue officers, composed of Maj. W. H. CHATMAN, Deputy Collector W. W. COLQUIT, C. S. TUTWILDER, J. L.C LAY and others , made a successful raid on the “moonshiners” of this county and Franklin, destroying six stills and capturing four men. Five of the stills were on Franklin County soil just over the line, the fifth was only about six miles distant from this place, and hear the residence of JOHN PARKER. The captured parties were: A. C. COCHRAN, FARREN NICHOLS, and NAPOLEAN POSEY, the latter was apparently quite young in years, not more than 16 or 17 years of age, but has doubtless spent the greater part of his life in business of this kind. In one of the stills was found the wife of the distiller, busily engaged keeping up fires, etc for her husband, while he was attending to his other business. No difficulty was encountered in capturing the men as they were taken completely by surprise, and well covered before they were aware of the presence of the officers. The officers were all well mounted and armed with repeating rifles, so after destroying the stills, they took their prisoners behind them on horseback and rode rapidly toward Hamilton, which place was reached in safety, and the violators of the law were arraigned before Commissioner D. N. COOPER, who placed their bonds at $300 each, which they gave, and all were released. There is one advantage in this walking mania among the female maniacs of the present day – if they exercise their heels more, it will give them a chance to rest their jaw, and thus give joy to the world.
