Sunday was a gloomy, rainy day. There was quite a large crowd in town Saturday. Now is the time to subscribe for the Herald. We have a supply of land deed on hand and for sale. Drummers have been scarce in this section during the past week. W. H. KEY, Esq. left for Birmingham on Saturday on business. L. J. CLARK, our worthy Circuit Clerk was in town on Friday last. Guin is said to do more shipping than any point along that road. Mrs. A. J. HAMILTON visited her daughter, Mrs. CLEMENTS at Guin last week. The obituary from Allen’s Factory will appear in our next. It came too late for this issue. Mr. L. M. LODEN left Sunday for Winfield where he will make his home. We wish him success. We learn that the K. C. M. & B. R. R. is doing a very large freight and passenger traffic this fall. We are informed that there are a great many squirrels in the Buttahatchie bottoms this winter. The circus at Carbon Hill resulted in a general row. Several persons were hurt but no one killed. Representative CLARK is on two committees. Local legislation and public buildings and institutions. Hon. WALTER H. MATTHEWS, our competent and faithful Probate Judge has moved into his new and commodious dwelling. We learn that the name of the new paper which is to be published at Guin will be The Dispatch. It is to make its appearance this week. A man named SWEENEY was lodged in jail on last Friday by deputy WEATHERLY on a charge of carrying a concealed pistol. OSCAR FULGHAM has been confined to his room for the past two or three days, but we are glad to state that he is rapidly improving and will be out soon. JOHN B. LEWIS raised 13 pumpkins on one vine the aggregate weights of which were 500 pounds. Mr. LEWIS is one of Marion’s progressive farmers. Constable STONE arrested a Mr. BROWN on last Saturday on the charge of trading mortgaged property. Mr. BROWN gave bond and will have a hearing at the net term of the county court. Hon. W. H. MATTHEWS has appointed W. H. KEY Esq. and Dr. W. W. WHITE as delegates to the Interstate Immigration Convention which meets at Montgomery on the 12th of next month. The selection is a good one the citizens of Marion County may rest assured that they will be well represented. We hear it rumored that Hon. H. T. CLARK will oppose the bill to prohibit the sale of whisky at Winfield and Glen Allen. We believe the rumor is calculated to do Mr. CLARK a great injustice, as the gentleman is a minister of the gospel and would be recent to his duty to his God and his fellow man. He won’t oppose the bill. Stick a pin right here. Miss DELLA KEY left for Fernbank, Lamar County, were she goes to accept a position assistant teacher in the Fernbank High school. Mr. DUNN, the principal, has shown great judgment in the selection of Miss KEY, who is a lady of fine educational attainments and is peculiarly adapted to imparting knowledge to the sound mind. We hope that she may have a pleasant stay and a sale return to her family. On last Monday a petition was mailed to Hon. GEORGE C. ALLMAN, our faithful and energetic Senator, asking that t he introduced a bill to prohibit the sale of whisky at Winfield and Glen Allen in this county. To show that the is at work, we simply state that regardless of the fact that he is chairman of the committee on local legislation, one of the most important and busiest committee in the senate, also on the judiciary and penitentiary committees, he drafted an introduced the bill on Thursday. Marion county has a young representative but one that is second to no Senator in the general assembly in the point of intellect and energy. Hamilton has a young gentleman who, if his assertion be true is a “Youth of such delectable mein “that to be loved needs but to be seen” He asserts that if each tear drop that he had caused innocent women to she represented a dollar and he possessed them, his wealth would exceed that of John Jacob Astor, W. H. Vanderbilt, and the Rothschild’s combined. And if they were all collected in a pond they would float the Great Eastern that laid the Atlantic cable. It is to be hoped that no will not have such a controlling influence over the lachrymal ducts of the fairer sex of Marion county. Now do we think that he will cause many of our young ladies to shed enough tears to float even a small sized bark canoe, but it will be well enough for your young ladies to be prepared of any emergency, so when you go out where you are liable to meet this “masher” have a supply of handkerchiefs at hand to wipe away the crocodile tears that he insists must flow on getting a glimpse of his esthetic countenance. AN OLD FRIEND IN NEW CLOTHES – (Montgomery Advertiser Ad ) NOTICE I, J. P. FORD, late Tax Assessor of Marion County Alabama, hereby give notice that I will apply to the next season of the general assembly of Alabama for the passage of a special law, authorizing the payment to me, the sum of three fourths of the amount of commission received by me for assessing the state, county, and poll tax of Marion County for said year.
