S. CLEMENTS, Editor DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET For Governor – Thomas Seay For Treasurer – John L. Cobb For Auditor – Cyrus D. Hogue For Secretary of State – Charles C. Langdon For Superintendent of Education – Solomon Palmer For Attorney General – T. N. McClelland For Congress, Sixth Congressional District – Hon. John H. Bankhead You can string all the Democrats who “scratch” the State ticket on a fishing line. It appears that Mr. Craig, of Dallas County has no special desire to lead the forlorn hope of the Republicans for the attorney generalship in this state. Mrs. Cleveland has invented a new style of dress, and thoroughly demonstrated that a lady can dress stylish and not wear a bustle. Washington ladies are following her example, and the bustle will have to go. An Illinois town boats of a religious sect which it is aid worships a woman. The average bashful lover knows that there are thousands of young men throughout the country well qualified for membership in this church. --------- The Congressional Convention for the sixth district met at Jasper on the 23rd inst., and as all predicted, re-nominated Col. Bankhead by acclamation. The Col. has been an earnest, silent worker for the people of this district, and the action of the convention shows to what extent his manly efforts in their behalf are appreciated. His services have not only entitled him to a second term but the people are going to give it to him by an increased majority. Our Wheeler friends who are so persistent in their efforts to impress the careless and unsuspecting Democrat with the idea that the Wheel is non- political and void of offence, would do well to read, and reread, the following advice given by the acknowledged organ of the order in this state, and see for themselves that all the barrier now between the organization and a political plank is just the want of force to insure success when the effort is made. “Can we accept a third party at this time without suffering defeat? When once we make the start we will have to go, so as we are yet won’t let the rotten old parties have the spoils, and while they are quarreling over them, let us propose to checkmate their next move. Let’s organize concentrate our actions and unite our forces, then, with one grand step, we can sweep these grand United States. Organize, co-operate, and educate, then for victory?” Mark well the expression, “we can sweep these United States.” What are you going to sweep them with? Are you going to teach economy, how to keep out of debt, raise more on your farms and consume less? No, we answer. Your organ had reference to no such thing when it said then for victory.” It simply meant to teach Wheelers that “not now” but at some future time when we have captured the required members from the old parties, we will “unite” and with a loud shout we will march our forces to the polls and there achieve this grand “victory.” THEY ALL WANT IDEAL HUSBANDS The following communication to the Canton (Ga.) Telephone from a strong Alliance man, is solid, practical sense……………….. A MEAN MAN The condition of Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, is slightly improved. Show the Herald to your neighbor and ask him to subscribe. NO UNDUE ADVANTAGE We want it distinctly understood that we do not indorse what our correspondents write by any means, but simply publish it for what it is worth. On last week a correspondent writing from Bexar said that it “has been whispered” that in case a certain wheeler is elected to the office of sheriff that the said wheeler will have a “colored Bro. for deputy.” Now, the Bexar correspondent we bout not heard some such rumor, but what of it. He knows quite well that nothing of the kind will be attempted, much less carried out. We do not believe there is a wheeler candidate in the field who would condescend to a thing so law as to declare his intention of having a colored associate in the discharge of his official duties as an offer provided he is elected. Such reports usually redound to the honor of the party they are intended to injure. While we do not belong to the organization, and cannot approve of its plans (as we understand them) for relieving the farmer, we would take no undue advantage of any member, who is now or may come before the people asking their support, to encompass his or their defeat. It is what we understand in the organization as being a tendency toward the establishment of a “third party” that we have opposed, and will continue to oppose so long as the present state of affairs exist. Our desire is to accomplish all the good possible for the cause of democracy, in an honest way, and not to use unjust or unfair means to further the interests of any man, class or corporation. TO LAND OWNERS – An Important Circular from the Commissioner of Agriculture Montgomery, Ala. May 14, 1888 The law creating this department gives you the right by paying a fee of $1.00 to register in this office any tract or lot of land you may have for sale. I appeal to you to avail yourself of this law, as by so doing I may be better prepared to push to a successful issue the work of immigration so suspiciously begun. It is my intention to issue a circular during the summer containing a full list and description with price of all real estate registered in this office. These circulars will be distributed over the country free of any cost to you. If you are in sympathy with this move, and desire to sell your lands………………… -------------------- ALABAMA NEWS Troy is arranging for a county fair. There are 150 prisoners in the Birmingham jail. Macon County’s treasury is reported as almost empty. Warrior is organizing a land and improvement company. Hartselle contemplates starting a broom and washboard factory. Plenty of rain and fine crop prospect throughout the state. Huntsville’s new $100,000 hotel was opened to the public last week. The Mercer Wire Works of Trenton, M. J. are to be moved to Anniston. A supply depot of the Farmer’s Alliance has been located at Opelika. Work is to be resumed on the Confederate monument at Montgomery. Refreshing and much needed rains have fallen in many parts of the state during the past weke. The principal of the City School at Bessemer has been arrested for cruelly whipping a pupil. Marshall County will not send an ignorant man to the Legislature, says the Guntersville Democrat. The two blast furnaces of the Eureka Co., at Oxmoor, shut down on the 23rd inst for want of coke. An open switch caused a collision on the G. P. Railroad near Eden on the 25th isn’t. Cars were badly demolished but no lives lost. The Republican delegates from this state to the Republican National Convention stands eight for Blaine and twelve for Sherman. “Pretty Sallie Boyd’ who was charged with the murder of James Leslie, was tried in the criminal court at Birmingham recently and found not guilty. Tom Garth, the negro who murdered two white men near Decatur, not long since, has been tried, convicted, and sentenced to the penitentiary for life. Things are far from lovely in Decatur, just now. Some one has been trying to slander Dr. W. E. Forest and family, and the late grand jury returned eight bills of indictment against Judge Bond. ---------------------- Owing to ill health, Hon. Jefferson Davis could not attend the laying of the corner stone of the Confederate monument at Jackson, Miss. The marriage ceremony of Prince Henry and Princess Irene was solemnized at Charlottenburg Castle, Germany, on the 25th inst. The tariff debate is now over, and the people may have a chance to breathe freely. Atlanta has postponed her Piedmont exposition until 1889 on account of the national exposition at Augusta Ga. The largest tree in the country east of California stands in Upper Sandusky Ohio. It is a gnarled old sycamore over forty feet in circumference. CLARK, WHITE & CO., Dealers in dry goods, notions, ladies dress goods, clothing, hats, caps, boots and shoes. A full and complete line of Family Groceries kept in stock, together with different brands of flour, which we buy under Special Contract directly from the Mills at such prices as to enable us to compete with any house in the south, as to prices and grades. Drugs and Medicines, hardware, glassware, cigars, chairs, tinware, tobacco, candies, mattresses, queensware, snuff, bed steads, bed springs. Give us a trial and be convinced that in prices we are as low as the lowest, and for quality and style of goods, are unsurpassed. Guin, Ala. W. R.

CAMP, Dealer in Dry Goods, groceries, clothing, Queensware, Drugs, Medicines, Notions. I buy for Cash, sell only cash, have but one price and that is the Very Lowest.

Gardens are now in the acme of their glory. Prayer meeting was well attended last Thursday night. Wanted – 1000 chickens in next 30 days. CLARK, WHITE, and Co., Guin, ala. Now is the proper time to scatter lime around your premises. On with the Church and Masonic Hall. It is needed. Our clever friend Mr. FRIERSON LANGSTON of Guin is in town this week. Playing things to suit themselves on “Organ Street” – the amateur organists. To Candidates – Hold out faithfully a few weeks longer, and blackberries will be ripe. Manipulators of the check board are slowly coming to the front with their cherished game. This is the season when particular cleanliness must be observed about the house and lots. The “ten hour” system vanished last week, and the boys are putting in twelve hours. Another car load of flour at CLARK, WHITE, and Co.’s store, Guin, Ala. ARTHRU WELCH, a sprightly youth, late of Aberdeen, Miss is picking type in the Herald office. No man is so blind that he cannot discern a fault, but the generally finds it with the other fellow. The days are getting longer and gradually warmer but the nights are delightfully pleasant and cool. Rev. C. M. RICE filled his appointment at this place on Sunday last at 4 p.m. and again Sunday night. Good qualities, though for a time hidden, will become unveiled and shine with splendor throughout the world. The farmers of this section are progressing finely with their work and we hear no complaint about scarcity of labor. We learn that Mr. L. J. CLARK has invested in Jasper real estate and that others are preparing to follow his example. Flour, meat, salt and lard as cheap as can be sold, CLARK, WHITE and Co., Guin, Ala. Hamilton should wake up and make the best efforts to capture some of the various enterprises which will move to Alabama this year. Mr. FRANK ALLEN spent Saturday and Sunday last in town. He left on Monday for Darlington where he will probably locate for a time. The administrator’s sale of the LOCHRIDGE estate has been continued until the 1st of December next at which time it will be re-advertised in the Herald. Mr. ROBERT HUGHES, of near Bexar, dropped into the Herald office while in town on Saturday last, and spent a short time in conversation with the editor. Our friend Dr. WARREN GUYTON is the champion horse trader, and every time he trades he appear to be as happy as a five-year old boy of his first pair of pants. White shelled corn taken in exchange for goods and groceries. CLARK, WHITE and Co., Guin, Ala. If buying guano and raising cotton will make farmers poor, then, our Marion farmers would do well to hold up. More guano is being used in the county this year than ever before. If some people could only be taught that their business and not the business of others demands the undivided attention, the world would move just the same, and all mankind feel happier. Will somebody oblige us by looking after the Sheffield and Seaboard Railroad? IF the thing is really dead we would like to know the date of its demise, and inform Capt. Moses of the fact. The fellow who once remarked that chewing gum was poisonous, must have been off his base. However, if it be true, it must be a very slow inactive poison for the um-yum has been going on a long time among all ages, sexes, colors, and previous conditions in this town, and we have heard of no serious results arising there from. BEAR CREEK SIFTINGS Editor Herald: WE have no bad news to report this week, such as a steamboat disaster, etc; but all is quiet, and everybody seems to be wearing a bright smile. We had a much needed rain on yesterday, and the crops are looking fine. Quite a crowd on the Creek today, looking after the finny tribe. Our merchant is driving a splendid business and more stores will soon be needed to supply the steadily increasing business at this place. Mr. J. C. THOMPSON, an enterprising fellow, speaks of engaging in the restaurant business at this place to feed the many people who stop over here daily. We now have daily trains between Sheffield and the Magic City also an Express office located here and will be ready for business this week. This will enable our people to ship their spare fruit, vegetables, etc. to Birmingham, any day they wish, which is said to be a good market for all kinds of produce The superintendent of telegraphs was in town yesterday and stated that he would inside of a week give us a telegraph office, which will be another accommodation of no mean caliber. The R. R. Company has located and are going to build a depot at once. Mr. J. R. PHILLIPS is going to have a large, free ferry beat built at once, to be used at the R. R. bridge. It has long been needed. Everything now looks quite encouraging in this part of the moral vineyard, as the following prominent visitors were in town prospecting this week: Judge TOMPKINS of Atlanta, Maj. CAMPBELL, and Capt. WHITE of Sheffield, Dr. ALLEN of Florence, Maj. AGEE and C. A. RENNELL of Memphis, L. C. ENSLEY of Boston, Mr. STUBBSFIELD of Murry, Ky., and many others. Miss KATE HARGETT, who has been visiting Mrs. THOMPSON returned to her home in Russellville on yesterday much to her many friends regret. Mrs. THOMPKINS is visiting in Russellville this week. Six well armed Revenue officers passed through town yesterday. Look out Moonshiners. Lots of Wheelers in town today, fine looking ones. The Jasper Land and Improvement Company deserves much credit for the present prosperous and thriving condition of that little city. Its work has been steady to the point, and to its wise management, almost wholly may be attributed the influx of immigration that is daily pouring in from various parts of the country. The Winston Herald says: “The longer we run a newspaper and write about people and events, the more we realize how utterly impossible it is to scratch every man on the place where he itches most.” The same here. Bro. Herald, and we have long since learned that it is best to “scratch” to the line, and let the “itch” fall where it may.’ For the essence of pure unadulterated communism, skimmed, boiled down and in quantities to suit the demand. Address the Alabama State Wheel, Moulton, Ala. The mouth of roses is now near at hand. The melon-colic days are not far distant. Another candidate out for Assessor. The work of putting on the court house roof is progressing. Candidates should remember that we have room for forty announcements If you want a paper that gives you all the news, both local and general, subscribe for the Herald. Throw off that mantle of “fogyism” and take part in the up-building of your community, or town as the case may be. Miss ROSA METCALF, a handsome and intelligent young lady who has been attending school at this place for the past few months left for her home near Crew’s Mills on Sunday last much to the regret of her many friends in Hamilton. Elsewhere in this week’s Herald may be found the announcement of Mr. JOHN T. CARPENTER for the office of Tax Assessor. Mr. CARPENTER is well known throughout the county, and we have no doubt if elected wills eve the people faithfully and make and able and efficient officer. HACKELBURG LOCALS Editor Herald: Times are rather dull this week, and we have nothing of much importance to write about, but our town must be represented and we are going to hustle after the locals. Good refreshing rain shower on last Thursday. Farmers are busily engaged this week, cutting the bushes out of the oat crop, and working the fleecy staple. Dr. JOHNSON, of Arkadelphia, Ala. passed through our town on yesterday. The Dr. has made frequent trips through this part during the past year, and says Hackelburg has been recommended to him as being the most desperate place this side of the region picture by Dante, but he finds it exactly the reverse, and the people are as generous, clever and hospitable as any among whom he ever traveled. Dr. W. W. WHITE passed through town on Wednesday last, and gave medical aid to Mrs. J. H. FREDRICK, who is quite ill with fever. W. F. GREEN, the sprightly local of the Sheffield enterprise, gave us a pleasant call on last week. He contemplated the starting of a new paper in our county at an early day. Much and lasting success to the Herald. GLEANER DECORATION DAY The years that have elapsed since the close of the civil war have served to obliterate all sectional feelings, and a united and prosperous nation joins in keeping green the graves of all its beloved dead. It is in this spirit that the publisher of the New York Family Story Paper has had written a thrilling and pathetic romance, peculiarly appropriate to this national holiday, entitled “Faithful Leonore; or His Grave Kept green”……………… The delegates from Marion and Lamar counties were the first to arrive,. They came in on last night’s train. They present the appearance of a fine looking body of men – [Jasper Evening Star] Yes, and the Marion boys returned home brimming full of confidence in Jasper’s future to become a magnificent city, and none were slow to confess their belief that the esteemed little Star is destined to keep up with the procession and ‘give light to the house hold.’ An exchange once told of a subscriber to a certain newspaper who died and left fourteen years subscription unpaid. The poor editor appeared at the grave of the departed friend as the lid was being screwed down the last time and put in a linen duster, a thermometer, a palm leaf fan and a receipt for making ice. Generally speaking editors are kind hearted and liberal, and never forsake a friend in time of need. Some rural pot of Blount County has composed a song that hits some of the farmer’s alliance men between wind and water, and one number actually went before an officer and tried to swear out warrants of arrest for the poet. He failed, however, as the justice could not designate the offence, there being no such thing defined in the code. It is hard to decide after reading the State Wheel which of the two things the paper has most at heart. The “cause of our noble order” or the “ten cent assessment’ scheme. Both are howled over by the Wheel editor w ho evidently carries a musket in each hand and a bowie knife in the other, but the “assessment” seems to lead. Mr. Cleveland has the masses with him but the politicians against him – [Alabama Tribune] Then he is solid, and don’t’ you forget it. Politicians have had their day and the time for the masses to run this government is, we thank God, near at hand. Commissioner Kolb thinks that the people from the far West will be flocking to Alabama next winter like black birds. DETROIT ECHOES Editor Herald: Prof. J. F. WHITE’S family are visiting at Bexar this week. The Prof. returned from Jasper on last Thursday and reports an interesting time. “Pitching dollars” is the leading entertainment of the town just now. Miss LONIE ARCHER after spending a few weeks at home, returned to Vernon, Thursday of last week to resume her studies at school. Mr. J. A. DAVIDSON and wife are off on a visit to relatives in Columbus, Miss. Mr. J. L. GUTHRIE is behind with his going to see the girls; he visited his parents at Pine Springs Sunday before last and lost the entire day. It is rumored that we are to be given a picnic at Pine Springs in the near future; she ought to give us one as she has two candidates in the field asking “the suffrage of the dear people” Our county, as well as your own, is full of candidates just now. These candidates are a clever lot of men, and excite every emotion of a voting man’s ear. Some we admire, and the others we pity and sympathize with; so we like them all and like to have them about us. Last week, while your correspondent was confined to his room with a fever, and rolling from one side of his couch to the other trying to find the cooler side, he heard an old hen in the back yards cowing manfully or roosterfully, simultaneously with the hen’s crowing came the soft whizzing noise of a stick of stove wood as it went flying out of the kitchen aimed at the leathered offender by a devoted mother who is ever on the alert for her son’s welfare. From time immortal these crowing hens have bee regarded by our mothers and their ancestry as emissaried of the devils – a foreboding of evil and destined to do injury to the family if left alone. But I like a crowing hen. At our house it means a chicken-pie on the following Sunday, company or no company. Somebody has coupled the whistling woman with the crowing hen, but I am afraid to say much about this. I will venture to say this much however; that if my girl whistles I like them too; if she don’t she don’t.
