Bankhead -----------(National political commentary)---------------- A THIN DODGE There has just been recorded in Memphis a murder of the most atrocious character, Louis Lane, a young man aged 26 years, deliberately walked up to Mr. J Mack Brown, of Fulton, Ky…………… You may just keep crooking if you like, the Herald is here, and it is here to say. Ever ready to applaud and encourage morality, and sobriety, and also with just criticism to stack and expose immorality, and the popular evils of the day. If you are what you ought to be the Herald will not hurt you, but if you are not, be sure the paper will find you out. -------------- Why is it that a few individuals are always trying to pull down the county paper! Was there ever such a thing heard of in any other county in the state? Certainly not. But it seems that there are a few constitutional grumblers in Marion County, who are not satisfied with any enterprise that may be started up, unless it can be controlled by a few self designing bosses. Marion is the only county in the state that has ever produced a man that would stoop so low, as to canvass the county in opposition to the county newspapers, and we are very sorry indeed, that we have to confess that there is such a man in the good old county of Marion. And while a large majority of our people are grand and noble citizens, we have a few that are always ready to crush the life blood out of any enterprise that would help build up our country. The Herald was established at this place in 1885, and is now running in its fourth year, and we are proud to say that it has had a liberal support throughout the county for which we return our many thanks to the good people who have stood by it. And while it has always been willing and ready to indorse and advocate any move that would build up or improve the country, it has also run independent of any ring, click or organization. Therefore there has been a great many false assertions made concerning it. It has been circulated over the county in order to prejudice the people against the paper that it costs $15,000 per year, direct out of the County treasury to pay for the legal advertising. And a great many other false statements too numerous to mention. The cost of legal advertising has never amounted to $200 per year, this is less than one cent per year for the average tax payer of the county, and the gentleman that raised such an uncompromising howl during the canvass, about the unnecessary expense of a newspaper don’t pay anything. If we had the least idea that the substantial Democrats were opposed to a newspaper running in the county and that they objected to paying this small amount annually for the maintenance of the same, we would most nobly quit the field and retire to a private life. But we are glad to know that this is not the case, the good people of the county favor the interprise, and we expect to stem the storm, independent of what may be said or done.

Bexar, Ala., Aug. 18th, 1888 Editor Herald: Please say to the Teachers of the county who have requested monthly payments, that the 1st Saturday in September next will be pay day at Hamilton and that it is very necessary that all contracts should come in at once. Respectfully JOHN ARNOLD, County Supt. of Ed. Be quiet and let your neighbors rest. Several new cases of yellow fever in Jacksonville, Fla. Our town is on considerable boom at present. Hamilton is soon to have a new church and Masonic Hall. Mr. R. I. CAMPS’ new residence will soon be complete. The citizens of Hamilton enjoyed a splendid rain on last Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. M. H. KEY made a visit to Pikeville on last Saturday. The farmer should all be happy, as they have an abundant crop. Considerable people in town on last Monday and Tuesday attending U. S. Court Rev. ____ RICE preached an interesting sermon at this place on last Sunday evening. Mr. G. B. MIXON is having his store house repainted which will add considerably to its appearance. People should prepare their ground and sow turnip seeds during the seasons. If you are in the habit of growling and mouthing around about your neighbors. Quit it. A large number of our young people attended preaching at Smyrna Church on last Sunday. There will be corn enough made this season to supply the demand for two years if taken care of. Mr. J. F. WHITE of Detroit was in town first of the week. Come again Prof. you have many friends in Hamilton who are always glad to see you. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. CLEMENTS spent the night of 24th at the Florence house in Birmingham on their way to visit relatives in Morgan County. Ladies, if you are Democrats discard that bustle from your wardrobe and renounce this cumbersome appendage. Mrs. Cleveland has done so, and it is hoped that every Democratic lady will do likewise. Any young lady or gentleman that wishes to be united in the holy bans of matrimony would do well to seek the employment of some publishing company as it seems that printers are in demand. Mr. JAMES WRIGHT of Fla. passed through town this week, en route to Barnesville, where he perhaps will spend some time with his Bro. Mr. M. F. WRIGHT. Mr. WRIGHT is a genteel and intelligent looking gentleman, but we confess that his present in our city would have been more highly appreciated had he not come from the yellow fever district. If there is one thing more than another that will make a newspaper devil feel bad, it is the skipping out of the editor, and being left in full charge of the business. In such a case he is forcibly reminded of his in competency to do that which he is compelled to do. And such is the case at the Herald office at present, although we will promise to do the best we can, and hope our friends will make proper allowances until we can do better. We don’t think our friends will be at any loss to know why we advertised for a printer, after reading this weeks issue. The truth of the matter is we have been so wonderfully busy trying to get up the paper that we f- o-r-g-o-t to get up any news. CUPID’S FREAKS The people of Hamilton were very much startled last Friday evening on hearing of the elopement of Mr. JAS. S. CLEMENTS and Miss ELLA HAMILTON. Mr. CLEMENTS has been for the last eighteen months, the popular and intelligent editor of the Marion Herald, and Miss ELLA is the accomplished daughter of Capt. and Mrs. A. J. HAMILTON. These young people have for some time, shown a decided preference for each other’s society, but no one anticipated such a sudden consummation of their attachment. Mr. CLEMENTS left town early on the morning of the 24th to return to his old home in Morgan County, and made it convenient to go by Hackleburgh where Miss ELLA has been teaching this summer. At Hackleburgh Miss ELLA joined him, and they took the train at Darlington on the S. & B. Road, and going down to Jasper were there united in the holy bans. The last heard from them they were registered to the Florence hotel, Birmingham, whence we presume they will go to Hartsell or Summerville, where Mr. CLEMENTS has secured a position on the Hartsell Index. We are unable to account for the romantic manner in which they were married, unless sit were merely to surprise their friends, and thus to act out the crowning scene of an adventurous love affair. The Herald regrets to give Jim up, as his connection with the publisher has been very pleasant, and entirely satisfactory, but he has sought fairer fields, and we wish him success. This young couple start out in life under favorable auspices. They are both favorites among their numerous acquaintances. The gallant groom is affable and social, and is an intelligent and successful newspaper man, while his fair bride is of good family and universally admired for many amiable qualities and sweet deposition. They share the best wishes and brightest hopes of all their friends, and from none more lavishly than from the Herald. Like a good patriarch, we raise our hands above your heads and say “Bless you, my children.” NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT State of Alabama, Marion Co. Probate Court, 29th day of Aug. 1888 JESSE V.
