The “Twelpth Nyght*” eutcrUimneut given by the young ladies of Wmycroaa, at the residence of • Mm. Olenian on Wednesday evening, was at once, the moat novel, and enjoyable one of the season. The room* were beautifully decorated with evergreens, though the entire ab sence of all mistletoe, caused no little disappointment to some of the ardent swainea. The ladies, almost without exception, were costume* of the last century, and with their powdered hair added the crowning beauty of age, to all the charms of youth. Indeed could their great grandmother have seen them, they, the, “to the man ner born/' might hare been pardened some feeling of jealousy. The young gentlemen for various rea sons, mainly financial and physical, did ,_jM>t-4ppear in old time dress, but looked their beat in preaent day costume. It was no surprise therefore, when it was announced Rat one of them has been captured lira lassie, who had boldly availed lienwlf of her leap year privi lege^ At exactly the right time, supper Was announced, and a supper. There was nothing that did not tempt the ap petite, and there was nothing absent that could serve to gratify it After this serious business was dispos ed of, danelng and the more sentimen tal diversions were resumed, until the candles lighted to test the constancy of the maidens—which test by the way was in the highest degree flattering, burned low in their sockets, when the guest bidding the charming hostess and her accomplished daughter good night, feced the homeward way and the bitter air. jp the visiting ladies who added b to the occasion by their pres ence, were Miss Eva Acosta, and Miss Susie McKinney, of Blackshear, and Miss Maude Cook of Bamesville. That was one of the most enjojrable Hops ever giv» In Way cross on the night of December, NI, 1*91 and morn ing of January, 1, 1892. It was con ducted by the Way cross Rifles in'their elegant armory.

TMb Herald wishes the Baby—with a big B—on GRmore street many happy is over. Ihe new year has begun. The city election has been de cided sad every man should now lie at peace with his neighbor. The last of the paring on Plant ave nue between New and Old Waycross i* completed, making a splendid bu-ine*s thoroughfare. Home of you may not hare noticed the formation of the new legal firm of Hitch A Myers, successor* of Col. 8. W. Hitch. The courteous gentlemen com posing this firm arc well known to The Herali> readers. Their legal talent is unquestioned, and business placed in their hand* will have prompt and satis factory attention. The charter for the Tobacco Growers and Manufacturers Association has been granted aud a meeting of stockholders has been called for Tuesday, January-, 12 at 7:30 p. m., at the Y. M. C. A. Rooms. Htorkholders should lie pres ent in {>erson or by written proxy, with their 10 per cent. All arrangment* have )>een made to begin planting at once. Those who have not subscribed to the stock and desires to do so, should attend this meeting, A sash, door, blind and cheap furni ture factory will be located here this year. At least, so says the gentleman from Newark, N. J. who has been here and engaged a site for the purpose, aud who selected Way cron* in preference to Valdosta, Brunswick and Jesup. The Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers is composed of an intelligont and honorable membership. The members of that order in Way cross are as affable a set of gentlemeu as you can find. Their rooms in the Reed block—which we were courteously shown through a few days since is elegantly furnished and has an air of permanency. The order has recently closed a contract with the 8. F. and W. railroad on the basis of pay for miles run, and the members are highly gratified with the change. The new organization of conductors if properly managed can do much good for their membership. We hope to see them permanently locate in quarters of their own at no distant date. The new safety gates at the crossing near the express office in nearly com- pletedand will be the means of preventing serious accident, several of which have already been narrowly avoided. The big pile of fresh clay on Plant Avenue near the depot means that a sub stantial foundation is being built for the waterworks stand pipe. Have you seen that big new addition to the School building? Contractor Brown will complete it next week, and then we will have room for 100 more pupils. That roof on the new Court House presents an imposing appearance, but the contractors will have to work fast to be ready for the April term of court. Ixx>k at the new advertisement of Cason A Miller. These gentlemen make specialty of fine butter,, direct from a farm in Orange County, New York, and fine flour from the West. Try them. Mr. W. E. Spangler is starting a novel advertising scheme. He proposes to build a large wagon with advertising spaces for sale on each side and the back, and will go through the country distributing and posting advertising matter for our merchants. Mr. Spangler is well fitted for this work. He will perform the ser vice faithfully, and this form of advertis ing is sure to pay. He will represent The Herald and work for its interests on his various trips. The Confederate Veterans’ reunion Waycross will be a grand affair. ^ should not only aim to give our guests a rousing welcome, but we should press them ,with the future importance of our growing city. Those who want to buy tobacco seed should write to H. S. Ragland Seed Co., Hyco, Halifax Co., V*. See their ad vertisement in this number. This com pany has the largest tobacco seed farm the world. PEUOm MENTION. Dr. McSIaster and Mr. McWhorter paid New Year’* call* all day and in the evening. This is a pleasant custom too much neglected in Waycross. Mr. W. H. Miller was taken quite ill Saturday evening after close attendance on the election as one of the supervisors in a building not warmed. We are glad to learn the indisposition was only tem porary. Dr. A. M. Moore, a prominent citizen of Blackshear, died December, 30th. af ter a long illness. We see by the Florida papers that Mr. H. A. Bennett, representing Ferst A Co., is a jiopular Knight of the'Grip. Miss Hattie Murphy gave a party to her young friends New Years Night. Mr. Robert Austin, who was several yean* ago recording clerk in the Road way office of the 8. F. A W. R'y here, spent last Sun<iay in Waycross calling on his many friends. His headquarters are now in Macon where, as auditor of expenses for the Florida. Southern Rail way, he ably fills a position of trust and responsibility. Col. Htone of the Savannah Morning News looked in on us Saturday. Our friend, Guy Pride, of Jackson ville, made us a pop call Thursday. •Santa Claus put a baby girl in his stock ing. He says “the mother and child are doing well, and the father is expected to recover.” Guy has a good voice for singing lullabys oft in the stilly night. We wish him all the delights of father hood. We learn with regret of the illness of our friend Dr. J. L. Walker. Our genial ticket agent had a tight shave.
