The Herald mentioned in yesterday i evening’s paper that Miss Mamie Gill, of this city, had been seriously burned, j She died at 5.30 o’clock this morning j after great suffering. The circumstances as we have been able to learn them are ! about these: A fire was burning in the j yard under a j*ot and the young lady ; going too near, her dress caught and in j in a few seconds she was enveloped in j flames. She ran and screamed, and Har- | rv Reed, who lives opposite, went t«> the rescue. The terrible flame, however, I had done it* work. Our community is . shocked and grieved. The remains will be carried to Elam Church in Liberty | countv to-night for interment. * Ik*.*I ir- fur and raised iu Waycrm*. Who can beat it ?

The natural advantages which have made a beautiful and prosperous little city of Waycross and still here, actively at work and perfectly solvent. Waycross displays a decided disposition to expand and spread out. In fact the town ts quite large enough to put on metropolitan airs if she desires to do so. The Herald acknowledge* the receipt of an invitation to be present at the com mencement exercises of the Andrew Female collegeon Monday, June 12th. It w currently reported, and generally be lieved. that Dr. Paine was “leading'’ that party of surrenaders on Monday night last, and that lie instigated the movement.

If there is one thing more than another for which Waycross merchants are noted it is the fact that they give their customers more goods for the same money than any other town. The surroundings of Waycross furnish prominent advantages over any other town in the matter of furnishing grounds for beautiful drives. We’ve got the surround ings, we want the parks and drives.

Our little town was almost moved to Saussy, last Saturday to the picnic, which was a success. Mrs. W. T. James has just returned from visiting friends in Florida.

It was raining torrents at the time. The old minister and his wife had their umbrella pulled well down over their heads, thereby diminishing their oppor tunity of bearing the approaching train. Many of their friends are inclined to charge the train officials with careless ness, but there is no evidence to show that Conductor Cnbbageor his engineer were in any way to blame. The old couple had passed more than the usual rime alloted to men in this world, and in their great faith in the world both had followed so man v years were quietly and patiently awaiting the summons which came so rudely am unexpectedly. They had just left the church where the old gentleman had been leading in the services for more than 50 years. He had been doing the work which was the crowning event ot his life, and with the words of praise to his Master yet fresh upon his lips be met the death which comes to all, and beside him when that death came was the good woman who has been bis com fort and solace for the last 40 years o* bis life.
