Way cross. Cu,, July 17. —The
merchants of Waycross will build a
large company warehouse on the
triangle lot between the Phoenix
Hotel and Dan Broaway English’s
corner, on,Plant avenue, The ob
ject is to piirchase all kinds of mer
chandise in car-load lots, and thus
effect a large saving in freight rates.
George W. Deen, W. W. Beach
and others will shortly erect a large
four story brick building adjoining
the Excelsior Medicine Company’s
place. The structure will have a
frontage of 75 feet on Pendleton
street and 60 feet on Mary street.
There will be four store rooms on
the ground floor, while the upper
stories will be used for offices and
lodge rooms.
Everybody here is getting ready
for the fourth annual fair. From
present indications there will be
from us; to 200 trotters, pacers and
runners here. Applications for
space are being received nearly
every day bv the secretary, who
counts on having the grandest ex
positions ever seen in Southern
Georgia. The number of free at
tractions will be unusually large,
while the live stock exhibit will be
worth traveling hundreds of miles
to see. Trainer Hughes will com
plete the Northern racing circuit in
time to be here with some fine
horses, and he is receiving encour
agement from many noted horse
men throughout the North who
promise to be here with stables of
horses for the speed ring and show
departments. Mr. Hughes in ad-

Grace-Brantley Company,
dition to Tom Calhoun, 2.12, and
Miss Virgie B, 2.16, will have two
guiderless pacers with records bet
ter than 2.18. Carpenters will
soon go to w'ork putting the build
ings and stables in condition, while
the track will be improved until it
is the best in the south.
Mayor Knight is a terror to evil
doers, but he has so far been una
ble to capture the tlieif who bur
glarized his house recently. The
mayor lost his vest, a gold watch,
chain, charm, and other articles to
the value of about $l5O. The same
night Dr. English was robbed of a
vest, gold watch and chain, and
several dollars in cash. No clue to
the theif.
Waycross is almost deserted
now. The families of C. E. Mur
phy, A. L. Johnson, 11. Murphy,
Judge Wurfdn Lott, W. J. Smith,
and other promin4|pt: citizens, are
located on St. Simon for the sum
mer.
W. B. Fenton will soon have the
natatorium ready to be thrown
open to the public. The building,
which is on Pendleton street, is
feet, with a tank 30x60 feet
tapering in depth from three feet
at one end, to eight feet at the
other. It will be a popular resort
during hot weather.
There are rumors of all kinds
afloat concerning the future of the
Waycross Ai’Line railroad. Some
say the line is to be extended to
Fitzgerald, others to OcillaJ’ and
still others run it through toMsteon.
The Southern terminus is either
Brunswick or St. Marys. In the
meantime President Wadley re
fuses to be interviewed in regard
to the proposed work.
It is quite likely that the Brun
swick military company will be
here one day this month and ne
day next month, for official target
practice on the Waycross Rifles’’
Reedsville range. This is con
ceded to be the best rifle range in
the state, outside of Savannah.

Mr. L. Kuder. of the Southern Ex

Miss Tattler Says.
JThat Jim Dent goes fish
ing and pulls up pocket
books, girl’s apparel, etc,
from the bottoms of
creeks.
That she is getting ready
for the big school boys
and girls and expects to keep an
eye on ’em, when school opens.
That Sid Lott, in the Breeze
office, is getting even with the flies
and warm weather by having his
head shaved so clean that it resem
bles a peeled onion.
That if the Waycross Rifles comes
up here and barbecues every hog in
town she won’t open her mouth.
That she is having a big room
built up where she boards and that
she expects to have big quiltings
and hog killing times this fall.
That she heard a young man ask
a young lady, a few evenings ago,
how much longer do you expect
to keep me in suspense?” The lady
answered low, and then the moon
hid its face behind a cloud.

it; see that you get what you pay tor
when you buy. You can be sure of
this if you will buy of Young & Har

Mrs. Dr. Sibbett is sick again. Every

has a spell of illness too, in sympathy,
and of course we hope she will soon be
well again.
Williford keeps a fine line of
Harness, Saddles, Bridles and col
lars, and sells them cheap.
Mr. F. M. Hawkins, of the Waycross
Air Line was in town Thursday on
business of importance.
Those of our customers that for
the last four months have given us
plenty of promises, will, no doubt
be aware that they' lack one thing
to be made real, and that is to
take them from the shadowy land
of the future and bring them righl
down to the present, in-deed.
Creel & Jantzen.
You would do well to think favorably
about the Farmers’ Warehouse to be
built here. It will be a big thing for
Douglas.
The line of Harness, Bridles, and
saddles carried by J. W. Williford
is the largest we have seen carried
in a town this size.
