“THIS AND THAT.”
BY “ DAB,” FOB THE HERALD.
To lore to VajeroH.
....... , , I thought this country and this town
! belonged to Uncle Sam and that he was
averse to having titles given to promi
nent citizens, still I see that the Magic
move froin Jacksonville to Waycross.
Mr. Ligon was for a long time a citizen
of Quitman and at one time lived in
this city. Recently he has boen em
ployed by the 8. F. & W. R. R.
Mrs. Ratliff Dead.
Bin. Ratliff, mother of Mr. W. R.
Ratliff, died at the home of her son on
Gilmore street at half past one o’clock
Monday. Mrs. Ratliff was quite an aged
lady and had been sick for some time.
She jeached Waycross the night of the
late storm and has been confined to her
bed ever since. The news of the death
reaches us just as we are getting ready to
go to press. v .
Married.
At the home of the bride in this city
this afternoon at half past four o’clock
Dr. J. C. Rippard to Bliss May Barnes.
The newly married couple have many
friends in the city and the Herald wish
es them all the happiness in the world.
Owing to short notice we are unable to
give the name of the officiating clergy
man or any further particulars.
Don’t Take Down Your Sign. *
The buiness man who takes his adver
tisement out of the local paper because
times are dull, simply takes down his
sign and virtually announces to the pub
lic that he prefers to retire until times
are better. We hope none of the Way-
cross merchants will take down their
signs in the manner indicated.
Floyd Hot Dead.
The report that section foreman Floyd
was found dead in his bed at Millwood
yesterday morning came to the Herald
straight as we supposed. We learn to
day that Mr. Floyd is not dead and we
are very much pleased to hear that such
is the case. At any rate we got the re
port straight and published it as
heard it
Married.
At Quitman, on Thursday evening
last, Col. O. M. Smith, of Valdosta, to
Mias Clara Graves, Rev. J. M. Lovett
officiating. * te junior editor of The
Herald and u jily acknowledge the re
ception of cards. The young couple
have our best wishes for their future
happiness.
City has a Knight at its head.
What gentleman’s name would we use
in speaking of a bunco man or fc gam
bler? Why a Sharp, of course. This is
not by me, it is per-Ham.
When will we have our new park
opened? Soon I hope, and I would like
to see a first class running and bicycle
track put down first thing and then a
good place fixed for playing foot ball,
cricket, baseball, lacrosse, etc. Give
the younger generation a good recreation
ground and you will have them grow up
good, strong and healthy citizens and s
credit to the Blagic City no matter where
their lot is cast. I would. also like to
see a first-class gymnasium started,
fitted both for ladies and gentlemen, to
be used by them separate days and
evenings.
Who discovered that the moon is
made of green cheese? Why, A. Wise
(man) of course.

JACK BOOTH COMMITS SUICIDE.
Morphine Does the Deadly Work.
Jack Booth, a well known- citizen of
this city and a painter by trade, took an
over dose of morphine on Sunday, from
which he died Tuesday a. m. It is un
derstood to be a clear case of suicide
and there will be no coroner’s inquest.
Booth had been on a spree for several
days and recently had trouble with the
city officials who were trying to arrest
him. After it was discovered that he
had taken morphine several doctors were
called and did all in their power to save
him but without avail. Jack Booth was
known as & good hearted man, possessed
of ready wit and plenty of intelligence
with many fine traits of character. • He
is but another victim added to that long
list which continues to grow each day,
and outnumbers those claimed by war,
pestilence and famine.
MANOR’S MENTION.
Picnic and Fourth of July Celebration.
A Billiton Feet Valued at 010,000* Bi
cd mi Clinch Haven.
Monday while all the hands were at
dinner a pile of lumber lying between
the planing mill and the saw mill of
Paxton & Blattox, at Clinch Haven,
thirty miles from here caught fire. A
million feet of lumber valued at $10 per
thousand, was burned, and all the tram
raiiroad trucks and the track of the tram
railroad were destroyed for some dis
tance, twisting the iron in coils. For
some time the two mills were in
great danger, but were saved by the ex
traordinary exertions of the employees.
The mills are considerably damaged. We
learn that Paxton & Mattox have
twenty thousand dollars insurance on
their mills, and about "$1,500 on the
lumber. Their loss will be heavy.

The First Street Car.
A correspondent is informed that the
first car was built by John Stephenson.
It was first used on November 6, 1832^
and ran from Prince street in the Bow-
cry to Fourteenth street. Oh its first
trip it carried the Blayor and Common
Council. The patent for this car was
signed by President Andrew Jackson.
The car had three compartments of ten
seats each, the doors being on the sides.

J. E. Wadley as receiver, has been sold

We learn that BIr. Norton effected a

sale as stated. BIr. Humphreys will
come to Waycross. Mr. Wadley has
been relieved as receiver. It is rumored
that the business will be put upon
firm basis and greatly increased.
Lloyd not« Suicide.
We make the following extract from
the Brunswick correspondent Savannah
News:
Rumors have been circulated alleging
that C. B. Lloyd, president of the bro
ken Brunswick State Bank, who died last
night, committed suicide. These rumors
are untrue. In answer to a note from
the Morning News correspondent, the
following statement from the attending
physician was received: /
- The report that says Mr. C. B. Lloyd com
nutted suicide is utterly false and without
any foundation. I attended at his bedside
during his entire last illness, and he died of
jmrlisti and .general nervoas breakdown from
financial worry and business reverses.
Hugh Bubford, M. D.
Dr. Robert E. L. Burford, another
attending physician also denied the re
port officially. Mr. Lloyd has been
sick for months. The day before the
national bank failed Mr. Lloyd left a
sick bed for New York. Arriving there
he was taken sick and after lying in bed
.ten days left for Brunswick. He was
obliged to atop in Savannah on hit re
turn for medical treatment, and coaid
only be up a few hours each day before
his final collapse. Mr. Lloyd deeded
every dollar’s worth of property he
owned over to the hank, all his life in
surance wen^fof his debts, and he made
every effort ta repair what he bad «n-
fortunately done.

St. Johns Day.
The celebration of St. John’s day by
the Masonic fraternity Saturday night
was a delightful affair. Mr. W. W.
Sharpe, Master of Waycross Lodge No.
305 F. & A. M., acted as master of cer
emonies. Tbe program was arranged
by Mr. Adolph Bennett It was unique
and highly entertaining throughout.
The address of welcome was delivered
by Judge Joel L. Sweat in his usual
eloquent style.
The musical selections were very ap
propriate, especially those by Messrs. C.
C. Thomas and Forrest L. Hall on the
banjo and guitar. The old Goorgia
break-down brought down the house.
But the most enjoyable part of the
program was the elegant supper: The
tables were loaded with the choicest
viands. The committee that had charge
of the tables deserve great credit for the
taste displayed in their arrangement.
The supper over, the guests returned
to the hall to hear the closing part of
the program, which consisted of a de
lightful solo by Bliss Wideman and BIr.
Carswell, a recitation by Miss Laura
Le Count, and music by Messrs. Thomas
and Hall.
$Iiss Eula Britton, who has been liv
ing in the country about seven miles
from here paid us a visit last week.
Miss Linnie White, of New Prospect,
entered our school last Blonday. Miss
Linnie is an excellent young lady and
we are glad to have such patronage.
Mr. W. H. Booth has been ill for sev
eral days, but is improving now.
There have been some petty thefts
going on in and around this place. For
the sake of our race we lay it to the
colored people, but we advise whoever
it is to stop it or they may have trouble
in dwelling among us.
Cheap Tom is as lively as ever. He
has a good word for every body and is
always ready to accommodate his cus
tomers.
Friend R. A. Lee says “Let us have
the picnic.” ^

Jim Conrney, the negro murderer now
in jail here, and whose crime Ha* often
been mentioned in these columns, was
resentenced by Judge Sweat this week
and will in all probability be hung on
July 28th. Conrney exhibited no sign*
of emotion during the time Judge Sweat
was passing sentence, notwithstanding it
was evident the judge intended to im
press him with the fact that he might as
well give up all hope and prepare for
the end. He listened stolidly and al
most indifferently to the solemn words
of the judge, and if he felt emotion he
certainly did not show it. -Jim Coor-
