A New Paper.- We have received the prospectus of a new paper, the Iron Age, the publication of which is to be commenced about the 1st of February, at Birmingham,- Duval and Roberts, editors.  Politically it will be Democratic,  Frank Duval would edit no other kind of a paper.  Success to the Iron Age.-  [Marion Commonwealth].
~ Birmingham Iron Age, 17-Nov-1874, Page 3, Column 2


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. Woods to come to time.  He was to have furnished the entire capital, and his failure to do so, involved an indefinite postponement.  As we selected the name of the paper then, we have adopted it now, and Col. Woods is in no manner connected to this paper.

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].
