Woods, Mike L. - 1874

The non-appearance last year of the Birmingham Iron Age, after a prospectus had been issued by Frank A. Duval & Co., Mike L. Woods, Editor, was owing entirely to the failure of Col.

Pearson, R. H. - 1874

We present the law card of R. H. Pearson, Esq., to our readers. If we did not well know, that, although a lawyer, he is a modest gentleman, we would give him a “puff”. He needs no puffing. He has made rapid strides into public favor here, and, we think, he was about the first lawyer who settled in Birmingham, (Mr. Pearson is a young man, notwithstanding that), in partnership with the lamented Robt. H. Henley. He deserves unlimited success.

O’Brien, Frank P. - 1874

Why is it.- We have not had a Dramatic or Minstrel company in Birmingham since last season. Our theatre-goers are very anxious to have our beautiful theatre occupied once in a while. The unreasonable license of last season has been repealed and the gentlemanly lease of the Theatre can now offer inducements to good companies to visit us.

We learn that the whole charge per night, covering all house expenses, is only $15. Come, gentlemen, show your companies in Birmingham. There is many a spare dollar burning in our pockets. Frank P. O’Brien is the Lessee of the Theatre.

Selig, G. - 1874

State News
Mr. G. Selig who has for some time been doing business in Dallas, Texas, has moved with his family to Auburn. He does not give a flattering account of Texas, and says many of the people who have gone from Lee county would like to return.

It is better to stay where we are in this healthy country and lovely climate, and restore our lands by judicious farming, than to take the hazards of health and many other disadvantages in the far west.

Young, Isaac - 1874

State News
[We gather the following items from the Opelika Observer:]
Our old friend Isaac Young, of Clay county, let his plantation out to freedmen last year. There were nearly thirty persons in the families, and between twelve and fifteen hands.- They made six bales of cotton and have’nt <sic> corn enough to do them.

Mr. Young reserved some patches about the house containing a little over seven acres. These were cultivated by his children, under his direction, having the use of a mule to do the plowing, and they produced seven bales of cotton. Here is the argument- a little more intelligence to direct, less land, better cultivation, more fertilizing, larger crops, and more clear profit.-[Telladega Reporter].
