The Montgomery Advertiser March 22, 1881
The quantity of waive notes, lien notes, and mortgages used this year is greater 
than ever before. 

A load of "home raised" corn was sold in town yesterday at $1 per bushel. It is 
scarce article. Dealers here cannot supply the unusually heavy demand for guano. 

In the Circuit Court last week, Green Nutt, colored, charged with killing 
another colored man some time ago, was sentenced for fifteen years. 

We learn that James Wortham a young man living six or eight miles north of 
Wedowee, received a dangerous shotgun wound one-night last week. While rabbit 
hunting with a torchlight, accompanied by a negro boy who was carrying a gun. He 
was accidentally shot by the latter, the load entering the rear of the right 
side and ranging upward, making a bad looking wound. 

Mr. Thos. Blake lost his large barn, filled with corn, fodder, &c last week. It 
is a heavy loss to Mr. Blake. 

The Grand Jury, present term of the Circuit Court, found 24 true bills. 

Not a peach or apple bloom has yet appeared in this section, although they 
usually appear about the first of March.
