The Montgomery advertiser. [volume] (Montgomery, Ala.) 1885-1982, 1906-10-09

| IL is easy to believe that G. Huey was
so frightened by the presence of 50
much authority that he kept his chill
dren locked in the house
Fight at Negro School.
There Is something humorous in the
! solemnity with which the village con-
| stable describes the fight and the fuss
at the colored school on October I. He
says.
| AT the entertainment given by Cora
Crenshaw, Mrs. Harris and Stella Knox
at the Col. Shoot, Willie Banks and
| Theodore Williams had a fight. Bad
| order cept at the entertainment, repor:
ed next morning"
In one way or another beer gave the
village constable considerable trouble
He had to busy himself with 1t on Oc-
| tober 10. when he records that
y. W. Chisholm has permission to
nave 1-S Of key of beer at the Chow
der party on Woolsey Beach. Oct. 49,"
GOOD order was presumably Kept at
the chowder party, as there was no
further entry relating to 1t in the rec
ord of the village censor
social events came thick and fast in
Woolsey and the record is< dotted with
| items that tell OF them.~ The consta
Bile had to grant permission for all
these entertainments and acting under
authority. no doubt he specified in eao h
e'SN tiiot tnC
close at night On October Is, it Is
reported that Wv. Dickson. c. Poe ami
J T. Wingate have permission to give
Ball in Col Shoot house. October o.
| midnight"
| If anything is lacking to prove the
vigilance OF the Woolsey Dogberry it
| Is supplied with the item of Monday,
March 8, in which 1t Is recorded:
Mrs. John Robinson and james
| Wheat had arro1 g.
kJohn Robinson reported James Wheat
IN yard
On March 10 it Is solemnly set dowa
| AT o'clock dummy two Bbls OF
beer came from the Bunelos Any
thing that comes for the Bu:elos in the
nay Of liquor will be passed to Center
wharf"
Just what will happen to anything
in the way Of liquors after 1t gets to
Center wharf Is not known.
| Censor of Morals.
| Nothing detrimental to morals III
Woolsey would be tolerated This Is
made clear and positive by the record
Here Ia an entry that shows this:
About 6:45 p. m. Capt. OF Watch
and H. Buck went to Francis Bradley
| House on Spring Street and notified her
to keep her daughter at home. IL not
she would be arrested and confined"
AhothcI tdul IciIS tRht
the keeper Of the village peace and
| morals on May "a:
Informed Mrs. Hubbard about her
calves in Ditch at Sisters Convent"
On March 20, the record plainly sets
forth the constable notified Joseph
Butler to leave the reservation, which
he did in boat"
On April %, there appears the rec
ord:
Notified Mrs. Ely Houston to an.
pear before the Captain Of the Yard.
She appeared at p. m. and was told
II she was ever brought before him
again she would be made to leave the
reservation"
Mrs. Houston evidently gave no
more trouble for her name appears
no more on the record.
About this time evidently d coral
wave had enveloped the yard for on
one day the following persons were
ordered by the constable to leave the
reservations: Henry Brown. Earnest
Powell, Ed Celestine. George Lewis,
Burley Williams. The items imme-
diarely following record the exact
time at which these prescribed and
| ostracized ones obeyed orders and left
| the yard.
| The record, however. is filed in the
main with notices to jewellers in Wool
sey that they might or might not re-
move from where they were living
Interspersed with them are items sim
liar in nature setting forth that GER
tain visitors Tere given permission to
| stay at DESIGNATED places for a GER
tain Ie9a,n of time. One item. dressed
in thefodd phraseology Of the village
constable. sets forth:
~Daughter of Old Woman Clestene.
| tCol) has permission to move to No.
"a Palmer Street. she having bought
house from G. Wilson. Mrs. Forney
and Husband"
nihcant than expressive: odd wo-
man Love has left the Reservation for
good"
| Examples Of the largest class of en-,
tries made by the village Vidoc are
such as these:
John Wingate has permission to
move In the house of Peter Alvarez,
| Palmer Street"
| SON of George Stallworth has per-
mission to stay at his house"
| Mrs. Gillvally has permission to
stay at her mothers home. Mrs. Mitch
OIL
Mrs. K. Ketchum has permission to
STAY with Mrs. Dickinson for 10 days"
'Mr. Maggie and family have permits
sion to live at 20 Commissioners
Street"
1t fell naturally within the duties
Of the village constable to keep a
record Of the births and deaths.
Was Vital Statistician.
He was the official vital statistician
Of the village and his work was done
with the same method and offcious
precision that characterized all his Of
fetal duties.
The items are Of this nature:
Male Child born at No. 6 Canal
Street, Mrs. C. III. Seeley."
''Died Nov. 20. Diana Powell. col.
No. Spring Street"
| "John Dugan. Col. died this day.
Dec. 5. on Howard street"
There is something original about
this entry of vital statistics made on
Jan. LIST:
Child died of Fred Holmes in War
rineton."
The record nook, and 1t is not a
large one closes with census OF all
the employees of the Navy Yard living
in WooIsev and Warrington. Oppo-
site each name is set down the duty
of the owner at the Navy YARD.
Beyond doubt the house Of the
| Woolsey Constable was wrecked in
tha September hurricane as was prac-
| tically every other house in Woolsey.
It was brought forth from the wreck
age to throw an entertaining light on
the ways of naval village and the
system OF espionage that then pre-
