r THE WAYCROSS HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY r. 1893. gecott* “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. MILLER SHARPE KNIGHT McKIEL CRAWLEY Mayor and Aldermen. JUSTICE BIRD LOTT CRAWLEY Clerk. Treasurer. Attorney. LUMBER PILES ABLAZE. 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. St.SIMON’S EHCtMPMEKT Tbe Veterans and' the Military.

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.

Notice is hereby given to all ex-Con- federate Veterans throughout South Georgia that pursuant to action taken at our re-union in Brunswick on last Jan uary 19th, arrangements have been per fected for the joint-emcampment of the Veterans with the’ Military on St. Si mon’s Island, for the week embracing July 4th, next. Tents have been procured, and as the encampment will be near Hotel St. Si mons. those desiring same will be fur nished meals at reasonable rates. Veterans may bring with them cooked or raw provisions and cooking utensils or procure same at Brunswick or on the island, and necessary bedding for camp should also be brought along. Railroads and boat line will give re duced rates. As many as can should go down on Monday, 3rd, to avoid the crowds on the 4th. Veterans may bring with them such old uniforms, battle flags and war relics as they still possess, and come prepared to recount the stories of the war. Amusements, music, surf bathing and the benefits from the sea breezes, with all the social features of the encamp ment, will make the occasion most pleas ant and desirable. J. L. Sweat, Pres. South Ga. C. V. A. F. A. Boyle, Secretary. 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.” ^ ** Ignoramus.
