NEW YORK DEMOCRACY -----------(National political commentary)---------------- AN EXTENSIVE FAMILY DESERTED We clip the following from the Cullman Tribune, which expresses the truths that we have uttered time and again, viz: that no fair minded man who has the interest of this section at heart can consistently be anything but a democrat and that all the parties that are springing up in our midst are but tricks of the republicans to defeat the democrats. The following is the letter…………….. AUGUSTA DRY AGAIN Augusta, Sept. 13 – Augusta is again a dry city. The Savannah River is in its channels and the people are setting actively to work to repair losses. Four bodies were received today, all of the previously reported drowned except one…………….

The farmers have had excellent weather for gathering crops the past week. The officers of the county are busily engaged in getting ready for circuit court. Marion county now boasts of an empty poor-house; not a pauper in the county. Our friend R. N. TERRELL made a pleasant trip to Guin last Sunday. He reports that town on a boom. Mr. W. A. DUNN, who has been quite sick for several days is, we are glad to say, rapidly convalescing. Commissioner D. N. COOPER and Capt. WHITE are in Birmingham attending United States Court this week. MR. W. R. WHITE, one of our most enterprising townsmen and merchants left last Monday for Memphis on a business trip. WE learn that a new firm has opened up business at Guin under the firm name of JONES, LANGSTON & POPE. Give us your card, gentlemen. Come to court prepared to pay your subscription to the Herald or if you are not taking the paper come prepared to subscribe and pay for it. Mr. HENRY HENSLEN, of Franklin County spent Monday in town with relatives and friends. Henry comes to Hamilton very seldom but is always welcomed in a royal manner by his host of friends. Mr. BURT HANKINS has established a first-class cotton yard at Guin, Ala. and is now well prepared to weigh and take care of your cotton, and all who patronize BURT will be politely and hospitably treated. We were down to see our friend R. F. DUNN on last Sunday, and after a long and pleasant chat, walked over his farm, upon which we found an abundant crop of corn and cotton. Mr. DUNN is one of Marion’s best farmers. The Barn Creek items show MR. J. N. BURLESON to be the champion turkey hunter of that section, if not of the state. Some days since while hunting he killed five out of a gang of sixteen turkeys and say his gun was not properly loaded or he would have killed more. The lumber for the new church is on the ground and the foundation laid and it will not be long before we hear the chimes of its bell each Sabbath morning calling us to God’s house to worship. We had no mail last Monday. WE suppose it was owing to the rigid quarantine laws that are being enforced at Birmingham and Memphis, at which places the mails are thoroughly fumigated. NELSON C. WHITE has bought the Southern Idea at Russellville, and will runt he paper in future. NELSON is a mere youth, only about sixteen years old, but from the appearance of the paper since he assumed control he will make it a first-class newspaper. May success attend you, NELSON, in your new field. We are glad to learn that J. S. CLEMONS, formerly editor of this paper, has secured a position on the Protectionist at Jasper. JIM is calculated to make friends wherever his lot may be cast, and has but few superior for morality, honesty and attention to business. We predict for him a bright future. Rev. Mr. PUCKETT preached at the school house in this place on last Monday to a large and appreciative audience. We regret exceedingly that we could not attend, but learn that the discourse was well delivered and logical. We hope to be able to announce that he will preach for us again soon. Circuit Court will soon convene and we trust that our readers whoa re in arrears for subscription will come prepared to settle their accounts. It is a small matter to you but when you consider that you are but one of 500 or 600 who owe us you will see that it makes quite a neat sum for us. WE have been patient and have used our every effort to furnish you with a first-class paper, and we sincerely hope that you will come to our assistate. Sheriff FRAZIER and Deputy WEATHERLY have been and will be kept quite busy summoning witnessed and jurors for the fall term of the court which convenes on Monday Oct. 8th. Mr. FRAZIER has been in office but about two weeks but he exhibits a fitness for the position that is rarely found. His selection of Mr. WEATHERLY as Deputy is a most excellent one and gives universal satisfaction. Mr. A. J. MCWHIRTER of Gold Mine and MR. J. G. WOOD, of Halley’s gave us a pleasant call on Tuesday last. They were on their return from the meeting of the Primitive Baptist Association at New Hope, Itawamba County, Miss. They are true Christian gentlemen and regular subscribers to the Herald and called to pay their subscriptions. Call again, gentlemen.

The bride and groom perhaps entertaining the idea that the tying of the silken not and publicly pledging to each other their life- long fidelity and love being an occasion sacred for the public gaze. The Herald rises to extend congratulations, if in order. May their married life be even brighter than their lovers dreams have pictured for them. May the anniversaries of the day be lengthened out to the gold wedding, and may that time find their happiness as unalloyed and their love far each other as lavish as new. “O, fortunate, O, happy day When a new household finds its place. Among the myriad homes of earth Take a new star just sprung to birth And rolled on its harmonious way Into the boundless realms of space.” Next couple to the front.
