An account of the murder of Mr. J. M Blitch by a negro named Zach Holmes, near Willacoochee about ten days ago, appeared in these columns at the time. The murder was cold blooded and with out the slightest provocation. The offi cers of the law have l>een on track of Holmes for some days and on Friday last found him in John Wilcox’s store in Coffee county. The deputy sheriff, Mr. W. A. J. Smith, was assisted by Mr. Wilcox, and when ordered to surrender the negro opened fire with a Winchester, farm, where He fired several times but his aim miss- j her with ar ed, when the officer returned the fire ! green apple with better effect and Holme penalty of his crime. BBFSSWICK’S NEWSPAPERS. A rumor that the Princess Eulalia might accept the Herald’s invitation and come to Waycross, has set the society gossips all agog, and the question “what shall we do with her” is being tully discussed. The Herald is not disturbed in the least about the matter. If the Princess wants to come —and she ought to want to come, we’ll wager our reputation that she is properly entertained. A part of our program will Ik- to take her to ride through the : brl S ht side > hanging light out of dark- beautiful oaks that shade the classic j ness * discouraging hopeless predictions. | ' advising in the proper direction and j ords of wisdom and encourage- • making order out of chaos. illy from her present A Manly Fight Against Odds. Never before in the experience of a long and eventful life, have we seen the influence of the press and its power for good more fully examplified than recently in Brunswick. In this, the dark hour of her sore trials, where else than to her newspapers could she turn for sympathy, for cheer, for advice. And manfully and earnestly has the Times and Advertiser come to the rescue, and devoted them selves to the task of showing up the PROFESSIONAL CARDS. DR. J. E. W.

Greets of Old Waycross, thence to Reed’s Mr. Bishop shall furnish j " lth v abundance of plums and ’ ,nentj Bruns' George Washington Behind the Bars. A great deal of pilfering from back , yards and private residences has been going on in Waycross for several weeks past. The ]K>licc have been on the took out and Saturday night Marshal Cason assisted by Mr Jack Booth caught t>ne of the coons and lie is now a guest at the county hotel. He gives his name as George Washington and owns up to several thefts. He stole a coat from Col. Leon Wilson, one from Mr. Ed. Baker, which he had on when arrested, an umberella from Mr. Jack Booth, also a clock from Rev. M. C. Austin, and other thefts are traced to his door. The negro is not well known here and is evidently one of the tramping, thieving vagabond gang that infest the land. It is not our desire to attempt to formulate public opinion except when we think it is right to do so, hut in this case would suggest that before George Washington is turned loose upon the community again it would he iu order for some one to give him a serious chat. A Plucky Woman Kills a Negro in Ap pling County. On Tuesday or Wednesday last, the house of Air. Davis Withers, a well to do farmer in Appling county, was visited by a negro during Mr. Withers’ ab sence, there being no one on the premi ses but Mrs. Withers. The negro asked for water, which was given him; he then demanded some thing to eat and followed Mrs. Withers into the house with threats of violence and outrage. The plucky woman re treated until she got hold of a navy pis tol, and then turning when the negro was nearly upon her, shot him through the body. Notwithstanding that he had received a mortal wound, the wretch managed to reach the woods, where he was found dead by the crowd which i mediately assembled. Mrs. Withers to he congratulated for her pluck and skill. Aged Minister and his Wife Killed by Nancy Hanks at Millner. Rev. Wm. Graham and his wife were killed near Milner yesterday while re turning from preaching, by the Nancy Hanks train. Mr. Graham and his wife were about sixty years old The preach er had just finished his morning’s ser mon and was returning home with his wife through a blinding rain storm. The umberella and the storm prevented their hearing the train which came from be hind. They were thrown about twenty- five feet in the air and instantly killed, The engineer did not see them until within a few yards. The train was on time and no blame is attached to the en gineer and conductor. A Good Showing for the Health of Waycross. From the report of Mr. Jamrs M. Free man keeper of Lott cemetery, filed this day we learn the following facts: From February 1st to May 1st there has been seven interments in the cemetery. Two of these were non-residents brought here to be buried, one was an unknown man killed on railroad and two were infants only a few hours old. For a city of five thousand inhabitants this is a wonder fully low death rate. An Immence Crop. The crop of pears on the trees at the Cherokee farm near this city is simply wonderful. • .The writer has seen many fine crops bnt this exceeds anything of the kind he ever witnessed. There is not a sign of blight in the whole orchard and the fruit is large and well shaped. Ten thousand bushels is a small estimate for the crop ou about twenty acres. The fruit has been thrashed from the trees twice and cannot be missed. The crop at the Chreokee nursery is worth looking at. The Examination. The examination for cadetships to West Point and Annapolis was held in Waycross on Saturday last. Four young men were before the Board.

Cairo, Ga., May 28—News reached here this morning of the drowning of two sisters, daughters of the late Capt. Jones, of near Whigham, The girls were 8 and 15 years of age, respectively.
