Thurman, of Ohio For Congress, Sixth Congressional District – Hon. John H. Bankhead Will the Protectionist please tell us the cause feed stuff going up and cotton down. Chief Justice Fuller entered upon his duties as Chief Justice of the United States Wednesday last. Vice-President elect Thurman was the first lawyer to address the Court. There is a balance in our State treasury of $556,125.39. She ought to give another half million to her free institutions of learning and keep them running six instead of three months as heretofore. Thurman’s letter of acceptance has been given to the public. It is a sound democratic document and is in full accord with Cleveland’s administration and the Democratic platform. --------------- The Birmingham Age speaks out boldly, manly, patriotically in favor of more money for the free public schools in Alabama. Though there is a wide gulf between the Age and Advertiser on the tariff question, we are thick as three in a bed on the free school issue. – [Moulton Advertiser] ------------ REPUBLICAN TARIFF REFORMERS ………..Warner Miller ……… Senator Morrill ……….Benjamin Harrison ……….William McKinley ……..Charles J. Folgers ---------Gen. John A. Logan ……..Levi P. Morton …….Justice Miller …….President Arthur WAKE UP The local apathy over the pending election is something alarming…….. – [Herald] AGE-HERALD New Orleans, Oct. 6 – The Picayune’s Birmingham specially says: “An important move in Southern journalism was consummated tonight by the consolidation of the two morning dailies, the Age and the Herald, the first name owning the United Press. The company will be capitalized at $200,000 making one of the wealthiest newspaper corporations in the South. The consolidated newspaper will be known as the Age-Herald. Notice is hereby given that there will be a meeting held on Saturday the 3d day of Nov. for the purpose of examining teachers who propose teaching in the public schools of the county. Also for the organization of a Teachers institute in the county. All teachers interested are requested to attend. R. S. BOTTOMS Co. Supt. Ed. THE STATE TREASURY Today closes the fiscal year of the State. There was in the Treasury last night the sum of $556,125.19. This includes every item such as the amount due to the schools, special fund, strangulated county money, etc. This is a splendid showing but it must be remembered that it includes considerable money which under the old law would be in the counties for the pay of school teachers. On the beginning of the fiscal year October 1882, there was in the treasury the sum of $471,427.33. The tax rate commencing October 1st will be 50 cents on the $100 worth of property which is one-sixth less than the tax rate of 1882-83. This looks as if the state will be able to make a large increase in the amount of the annual appropriations for schools. This is the crying demand of the hour and Alabama must do her duty – [Montgomery Advertiser] ----------- The editor of the Protectionist will soon be an angel, at least in one respect, for the merchants of Jasper will not trust him, and all the pictures we have ever seen of angels represent them as wearing no clothes. While he is now wearing a shoe that pinches him, we believe he will discard it and make a full fledged angel. Don’t get in with the republicans who have preceded you when you get down there, and form a coal and brimstone trust against the “Old Boy” for he might try the refrigerator plan. Hon. J. H. BANKHEAD, our able Representative, has an opponent for Congressional honors, by the name of Hanlin. Mr. Hanlin in his letter of acceptance says that the people had better let well enough alone. The people of the sixth district agree with the gentleman in that particular and will return MR. BANKHEAD to Congress in November next. ALABAMA ITEMS Three wild geese were killed in Vernon on last Friday. Dr. E. P. EARL of Birmingham has been appointed Consul to Conac, France. Alabama on Wheels arrived safely in Montgomery on last Saturday night. The Alabama Enquirer complains of promiscuous shooting on the streets of Hartsell at night. Will Cox, white, and Luther Metcalfe, col, escaped jail recently at Vernon, but were recaptured. Fifty-six marriage license have been issued by the Probate judge of Cullman County this year. Some villain poisoned 14 horses at Troy last week. No clue to the perpetrator of the crimes or the cause. The Nation Democratic Executive Committee is calling for voluntary contributions to carry on the campaign. Nothing but free will offerings are wanted. An exchange says if there were as many people who knew how to pay the printers as well as they know how to run a newspaper, printers would have an easier time. --------------- Green and George Western, brothers, residing on Dry Creek, had a cotton picking bout the other day, when George’s who is the younger, picked 275 pounds to Green’s 268 pounds. – [Blount County News] A man named Cheney and a woman named Kelly found guilty of living in adultery at the last term of the Circuit Court, were taken off to Coalburg on the 7th inst. “The way of the transgressor is hard.” – [Blount County News] A man supposed to be named Sheridan from Iowa, came into town from Georgia last Friday morning on foot. He was sick and Dr. Johnson gave him some pills, was furnished something to eat and he started up the railroad. Sunday morning he was found dead about one and half mile from town. It is supposed that he died of exhaustion. He was buried by the Coroner near where he was found. – [Alabama Tribune] Ad for McLean’s Tar Wine Lung Balm Fifty-seven souls were sent into eternity near Wilkesbarre, Pa. recently by the colliding of two excursion trains. The accident was caused by the brakeman failing to flag the second section. James McGowan was cut seriously near Stevenson the other day by an old man by the name of Tom Webb and a son and grandson. The celebrate actress Lillian Lewis was married to her business manager, Lawrence Marston, at Huntsville recently. Nina Van Zandt (Mrs. August Spies) has ceased to wear mourning for the dead Anarchist and will doubtless seek other notoriety. The House has passed a bill granting right of way to Pensacola & Memphis Railroad, through the public land of Alabama, Mississippi and Florida. -------------- Mr. Charlie Robison went out squirrel hunting one day last week. The gun bursted, and the lock of it hit him in the mouth, and for several days he had considerable lips and very shaky teeth. It was a very narrow escape on Charlie’s part, but the squirrel has not been heard from – [Blount County News] Ad for McLean’s Medical Almanac -------------- NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION Land Office at Huntsville, Sept 27, 1888 Notice is hereby given that the following named has filed notice of his intention to make final proof in support of his claim, and that said proof will be made before the Probate Court of Marion County, Ala., at Hamilton, Ala. on Nov. 27, 1888, Hd.

At almost every social gathering may be seen one or two men who won the title of general when they wore the gray. The Southern Society, started a short time ago, now has a membership of hundreds, and will soon have a building of its own.

In England, in the large stores, there is a department of hair dressing where an accomplished barber, with every convenience for showering and drying, will wash the hair of ladies for one shilling. In this country a good shampoo costs from 50 cents to $1 – which is a large sum for so simple an operation. After combing the snarls from the hair, braid it loosely and bind the end with a small elastic band. Draw tepid water in a basin and first wash the scalp thoroughly with castile soap. Then let the braid fall in the water, soap it and wash as if clothes. Afterwards thoroughly rinse and wring the braid in a towel. Wipe the head dry; undo the braid and brush out, beginning at the lower end when it will not tangle. Let the hair loose in the sun and air and it will dry in less than half an hour. A woman’s hair should be washed at least monthly if kept fine and healthy.

Now is the time to subscribe for the Herald. The health of Hamilton is remarkably good. Hon. W. H. MATTHEWS visited New River this week on business. A man named HOMER was lodged in jail at this place on Monday last. Capt A. J. HAMILTON has an apple tree in his garden in full bloom. Turn out and hear the Hon. Edward deGraffreid at this place on next Monday. Ex-County Superintendent of Education ARNOLD was in town on Tuesday last paying off teachers. The work on the new church is progressing rapidly, and when completed will be an ornament to our town. Two brothers by the name of JOHN and JEFF SMITH from this county were arrested in Lamar County for selling illicit whisky. ------ Mr. L. J. CLARK, our efficient Circuit Clerk, went to Guin on Tuesday where he will spend the greater portion of the winter buying cotton. The hour for holding Sunday school has been changed from 4 to 3 o’clock p.m. There will be singing on next Sunday after the Sunday school is over. Editor EDMONDS, of the Hot Blast and two other gentlemen were shot last week by two roughs who were friends to the “blind tiger” element of that city. If the building boom which has been raging in Hamilton for the past six or eight weeks would continue for a year we would have one of the prettiest little towns in the state. Keep the ball moving. We hope that our readers will bear with us this week on account of the appearance of the paper for we had such a rush of job work that we could not devote the time to the paper that we should have given it. We will do better in the future. A certain young man in our town seems to be exceedingly popular with the young ladies of this and adjoining counties at least we judge so from the number of photographs received daily. He has ordered a Saratoga trunk to keep them in, and is corresponding with an artist with a view to having them reproduced on canvass. Sheriff FRAZIER starts out on his first round for the purpose of collecting the state and county taxes for this year on Monday next and the people should meet him promptly at the times and places for after the first round your poll tax is delinquent and a fee of 50 cents will be added. There seems to be a misunderstanding as to the date of the speaking at this place by Hon. Edward de Graffenried, one circular stating that he will be here on the 22nd, and the other that he will be here on the 236d, instant. We are informed by Mr. deGraffenried himself that he will be here on next Monday. Come out and hear one of Alabama’s most gifted sons. The Hamilton High school will open on next Monday, and we do hope and trust that each parent in Marion County will appoint himself a committee of one to work for the success of the school. There is no reason why the school should not open with at least seventy-five students, and it will if each parent will do his duty. Start to work right now and do not stop until the school has two hundred pupils. An editor wrote, “An Evening with Saturn” and it came out in the paper “An Evening with Satan”. It was mighty rough, but the foreman said it was the work of the “devil.” And it looked that way. The Grand Jury of Marion County that has just adjourned was the dryest set of men that ever convened at this place. A gentleman who was in a position to know says that the only whiskey that was even smelt by the grand jurors was on the breath of witnesses. They returned forty-two true bills. They reported the financial condition of the county to be encouraging and thought that the county, by judicious management of its finances, would be free from debt by the end of the year. They also reported the bonds of the various officers as good and sufficient. The treasurer’s report was satisfactory, and the jail in a good sanitary condition. Prof. FINLEY spent last week with his widowed mother in Lauderdale County near Florence. The board of trustees meet at the court house on next Saturday. Joseph Jefferson, the veteran comedian, who played the opening engagement of his season in Pittsburg last week, has just announced that he and his three sons will cast their first votes at the presidential election in November next for Cleveland and Thurman…….
