HARRISON’S OTHER GRANDFATHER ---------------- A BULL MOUNTAIN LETTER Bull Mountain, Ala. Sept 5th 1888 Mr. Editor: After the smoke and excitement of the election has cleared away, and everything seems to be moving along smoothly as of yore, I would ask the members of this great farmer’s organization if yet their cherished ambition is gratified. This noble order whose dear beloved brethren were too pure to belong to either of the old political parties, but who were going to take the refuse of both and build up a party that would revolutionize the government and bring about better times; who were first political, then no-political, pig, puppy, or anything else to break down the Democratic party. What have you yet accomplished? I do not charge every man in this organization of a desire to defeat the Democratic Party. On the other hand, there were some good Democrats who joined the order. No, like the Devil when he tempted Eve, you clothed your hideous form with other robes than those that are compatible with your nature. You assumed the unostentatious name of ‘”Farmer’s Wheel” in order to dupe and seduce the innocent and unsuspecting farmers of the country among your ranks so that from their already burdened shoulder you might step into office. Yes, you have some democrats among you, but all such will certainly forsake it when they realize your true intent, and see by whom they are led. I don’t suppose you could put your finger on a single genuine democrat among all your state officers. Then so far as your influence went in the last election, have you made an improvement on democracy? You have exchanged talents for stolidity, and sacrificed political and moral principles as boot in the trade. Again you use the name of farmer in connection with the wheel. Have you done anything in any manner by which the farmers have been benefited? If you have, tell it upon the mountain tops, and we will al join joy. No, you have done thing, as all who are observant can see. You have elected a few men to office who could not have been elected otherwise, you have weakened the cause of democracy, which is the only party through which a tax ridden and tax- oppressed people can effect relief. You have encouraged and strengthen republicanism, the party that has fastened a tax of 47 percent on all that you buy. Just think of that – 47 percent on every dollar’s worth you buy, goes into the pockets of protected monopolists, wrenched from the poor to make them poorer, and given to the rich to make them richer. These things you have done, and if you follow your leader, the state official organ of your order, for whose success so many of you have prayed, and for whose success so many of you have dropped in your coins, you will vote the republican ticket for monopolists and trusts. This sacred sheet has preached all the while, that no true wheeler would vote either the democratic or republican ticket, until recently, your editor came out with a hoop for high tariff, Harrison & Morton, and excuses himself by saying that there is no earthy chance to elect a labor candidate. But we think there is just about as much chance to elect a labor candidate as there is a Harrison candidate in this state. I. J. LOYD. The band of Sioux Indians who left their reservation in Montana several days ago and traveled in the direction of Washington territory have returned, and the United States troops have been withdrawn from the pursuit. All apprehension of further trouble has ceased and the noble red man once more smokes the pipe of peace with the pale face. – [Ex] THE BILL NYE CIGAR ------------- THE BOSS FISH TALE Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 9 – A Washington special to the Constitution says the outlook for the success of the Democratic Party has never been brighter than today……………….

Crops badly damaged by rain. Cotton picking time on hand. The potato crop is fine. Revive the prayer meeting. The Sunday School is not attended as promptly as it should be. There is not much being done towards the church. Lamar County is well represented in the U. S. Court this week. Take your cotton to CLARK, WHITE & Co if you want money for it, Guin, Ala. Lower taxes, cheap goods and pure democracy is what we need. W. Q. NORTHINGTON sold the first bale of new cotton at Guin Sept. 13th 1888 for 11 cents per pound. Chickens! Chickens! Bring in your chickens to CLARK, WHITE & Co. Guin, Ala. A man’s political complexion can generally be judged by his acts in political maters. Mrs. SALLIE CLARK is visiting relatives at Detroit this week. We learn that Mrs. E. P. JUSTICE has been quite sick for several days. Rev. R. W. CLARK and family in town on last Monday visiting relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. JOHN WINSTEAD was in town on Saturday and Sunday last visiting friends. We have been informed that the Wheelers are going to build a store house and put up a large stock of goods at Hamilton. The Democrats of Hamilton are going to raise a Cleveland and Thurman flag to be hoisted on public square to the height of 100 feet. We had the pleasure of meeting several of Hackelburg’s best farmers on last Saturday while in town on business. We received a copy of the Hustler this week, a neat, well edited, and newsy sheet, recently established at Amory, Miss. and gladly place it on our X list. We are requested by Judge MATTHEWS to say that he has in his office the late codes of Ala. for each Justice of the peace in the county. Our young friend Mr. WARREN CARPENTER left for Florence this week where he will attend school for some time. Miss LENA MATTHEWS, Hamilton’s most charming belle returned home on last Saturday from Bull Mountain where she has been teaching school this summer. We are to have a protracted meeting instead of a quarterly meeting, as stated in last week’s issue. How are you off for chickens? Mrs. HARRELL MARTIN, of Amory, Miss. who has been visiting relatives at this place returned home some days ago. Mr. WILL GAITHER, the intelligent young painter who has been in our town for some time, returned to his home in Fulton Miss. this week. September 9th, 1888 Mr. Editor After due respects to you, and success to the Herald, would say if you have space in your columns please state that the funerals of ROBERT TERELL and THOMAS BANISTER will be preached at Hapsiba Church on the 4th Sabbath, Sept. 23 1888 by Elder W. T. SPRINGFIELD and REV. J. R. HOLLADY. Barnesville has been silent for some time but expect in the future to send up a regular communication. We would like to see something in your columns from Barnesville every week. Times in this part of the country are dull, people are fearful that their corn and cotton crop are badly injured by the rains, though we hope that it is not as bad as they think for corps were fine two weeks ago, but no doubt they are damaging very fast during this wet weather. Barnesville has regular preaching once in each month by Rev. JOHN R. HOLLADAY. We had the pleasure of hearing JOHN W. OWEN preach an interesting sermon at Barnesville Church today. A protracted meeting will commence at Barnesville on next Saturday. School will soon be out, and you may look out for me, I am coming to town. Yours, & C BARNESVILLE We regret to chronicle the untimely death of Rev. G. M. G. DUNCAN, which occurred on the 7th inst, after a brief but painful illness. Mr. DUNCAN served as pastor of this circuit for three years next preceding this year, and was universally appreciated by the members of his flock as well as by all who knew him. His labor was well rewarded during his pastorate here. He leaves many friends on this circuit to mourn his sad demise. Nothing could have been more unexpected than the death of Bro. DUNCAN. He was the picture of health, in the prime of manhood, and bid fair to a long life of usefulness. Truly: “Death rides on every passing breeze, And lurks in every flower.” His family has lost a kind husband and father, his intimate associates a warm friend, the state a good citizen, the church a faithful laborer, and Christianity a noble exemplar. May we all solve that we may merit that highest of all encomiums that may safely be pronounced over his bier, “He walked up-right, in the sight of the Lord.” We tender our sincere sympathies to his bereaved family, whose hearts are sorely bruised over this severe affliction. May they look away from the cold consolation of a sordid world, and catch the sweet, sweet echoes of “I love thee. I love thee, Pass under the rod.” FERNBANK HIGH SCHOOL - Normal and Didactic, Primary and Advanced W. A. DUNN, Principal. Session for 1888-9 will open October the 1st 1888.

They need not go to any unnecessary trouble in selecting heir man, they had just as well sacrifice one kid as another, and it matter not who they select, the vote will pan out for JOHN H. BANKHEAD, al the same in Nov. A man should be firm in his political views, and act according to what he believes to be right and just independent of friend or foe.
