Williams, who lives near the river bridge, complains that some of the Waycross boys are stealing and destroying his water-melons. The \ Herald is not informed as to who the boys are, but we do know that Mr. Williams is very angry about it and he has cause to be. We advise the boys if they must have melons to go to Mr. Williams and ask for them in a straight forward, manly way. Mr. Williams says this stealing business must stop or somebody will be sorry for it. Mr. Fuller’s Resignation. Postmaster Fuller forwarded his res ignation to Washington to-day, to take effect at once. We are glad tne matter has taken this direction.

John Hogan will be in the office lor the present. Mr. Hogan is capable and polite. Blackshear and Waycross. Waycross was defeated yesterday by the Blackshear club, in a game of ball. The score was nineteen to three in favor of the home team. The game througout was one-sided and disinteresting.

Some changes have been made in the Waycross Express office recently. Mr. W. !?. Harris, late of Callahan, Fla., takes Mr. Wolfe's place here.

Postmaster Filler Addresses the Pablfc. Waycross, Ga., July lit, 1893. To THE PATR058 OP THE WaYCROSB Post Office : Upon overhauling my office on the 27th and 28th of June, I found a quantity of letters belonging to parties who should have received, regu larly, their mails. Some of those letters had been held for a considerable time. I thought everything was right in my office, but to my shame and mortifica tion it was not. As soon as I discovered the trouble I went to work to right everything that I could, and wrote a letter to the parties and sent my messen ger, a delivery clerk, with all the letters that I had failed to deliver through the office, and they have been delivered. I assure the public that no one can suffer more on account of this failure of duty than I have. I have been able hereto fore to boast of the conduct of my office in all of my official life, but in this I am undone. I hope the pnblic will pardon this great blunder, and I assure them that the little while I remain in the Waycross office, they shall have no ground of complaint, and that will not be long, as JI propose to ask to be re lieved at an early day. Thanking the patrons of the Waycross postoffice, and all the citizens of the city especially, for their uniform kind treatment in the past, I am, very respectfully, T. J. Fuller, P. M. P. S.—I further desire to state to the public that I unconditionally exonerate Mr. John Hogan from any blame or complicity with the condition of my of fice, all of which accrued since he went out of my office, and he has given me all the aid in his power to straighten the matter up. T. J. F. John Hogan Exonerated. The following letter of recommenda tion from Mr. Fuller, as also a postcript to his own statement, places Mr. Hogan in proper light in regrad to the neglect in the Waycross postoffice : Waycross, Ga., 4-18, 1893. To All H7tom it May Concern: This is to certify- that John Hogan was a clerk in the Waycross postoffice for several months of 1892-93, and he was always active, efficient and faithful in the discharge of his duties as clerk, and I never hesitated in trusting him fully with everything pertaining to the office, and nevef had at any time any cause to. complain of his management or conduct of the office, and it affords me great pleasure to recommend him to the consideration of all persons or corpora tions who have to employ men to carry their business. Respectfully, T. J., Fuller, P. M. at Waycross, Ga. The New Calibeeee. . The brick for the new city guard house, to be erected near the crossing of Plant avenue by the B. AW. R. R., are being placed on the ground and the. work of building will commence in a few days. The building is to be neat, substantial and safe. Mr. Hubbard’s Class In Penmanship. Mr. Hubbard will open up a writing school in the room next to the Herald sanctum next Monday. He will have morning and night classes. Mr. Hub bard’s charge for lessons is one dollar per week. This is a good opportunity to have your children instructed in writing. Knights of Pythias. The installation night of officers for Wakefield Lodge, No. §7, Knights of Pythias, was celebrated in this city last night. The following are the new of ficers: R. T. Cottingham, C. C. F. W. Bibb, V. C. T. E. Lanier, Prelate. J. A. Jones, M. of A. J. C. Huber, M. of W. **I)ab” and the Park. Editors Herald: I read with much interest what "Dab” had to say. She makes some good suggestions about the park, the bicycle track, the gymnasium, etc. She makes as good “a cross tick” out of the city officials as could be found in the new park or elsewhere in onr pinev woods. We have a good lot offi cers—men who may be counted on to do their duty every time. Mayo(u)r Knight and aldermen con nected with our city government be Sharpe, but not too trier, and guard care fully every interest of the Magic City. This, I think they will do as long as they have Justice and the Bird of free dom is perched upon the dome (?) of our city hall. I am in favor of the park being open ed up right away, and as I am not able to “by-cicle,”-1 hope the street car line will be built immediately, and just as soon as it is built as far as the park I shall invest a nickle in transportation, and head for that delightful retreat. I am longing to go out and take a stroll amongst the green shrubbery| and the giant trees. I want to see the fountains spouting forth the crystal water, and hear the merry song of the birds as they hop from bough to bough of the trees in the park. When I grow weary of the din and confusion of the bustling city, I want to board the ‘‘belt electric car,” at my door on Gilmore street, and be whirled rapidly down £lant avenue, round Judge Lott’s corner and-on to the park. I just want to sit down on a made seat beneath the magnificent trees which are-supposed to grow there, and breathe the fresh, pure air of heaven, while I ‘‘look up through nature to na ture's God.” By the way, what is the name of the new park ? If it has been named I am not aware of it. A name is suggested in the following lines: My old man wrote the verses. I am not very poetical my self. though I do love to read poetry. I asked him to suggest a name for the new park, and he wrote this : Mayor Knight, please hurry up And show that you are game. Go to work, 'dean up the park. Next find for it a name— • Oh. let us open up the park, Let’s have it right away. • In these few lines you'll find a name. A good one—what you say ? My old man is quite a poet, and "Dab” can’t come up to him either. \ . ^"Slab.’ “THIS AND THAT.” BY " DAB,” FOR THE HERALD. He was trying to unlock the front door of his residence with a button-hook when his wife stuck her head out of an upper window and called out: ‘Ah ! there, my revolver.* Are you loaded ?” ‘No, my dearsh (hie) but I wish you’d shroweh me down (hie) bunsh keyholsh (hie) ’sorted sizes.” * I would like to see a permanent fire brigade with men, a hose wagon and a team of good, horses always on duty. The little extra money spent in doing this would be more than made up by the lower rates of insurance which, I am sure, would follow better fire protection. Also a good fire station connected by alarm boxes with different parts of the city. The Sunday shades were falling fast, As through the Magic City passed A youth who bore this good device— “No 8oda.” His Honor, the Mayor, did the right thing when he put his veto on the "soda water” petition. It wonld have been a good chance for tome one to put wood in their soda, and then there icould have been a grand rush for soda with a “6tick” in it, and we would have had too many "blind tigers” for the peaceful observ ance of the Sabbath. I hope the pastor and peoplfe of the Methodist Church will not open their beautiful structure without first putting in a first-class pipe organ, as it would be the first and only one in the city, and would also conduce to good congrega tional music. There is no finer or better mode of praise than the above and no better help than the "King of Instru ments.” Let the “Ladies’ Aid Society” take hold of the matter and that will be an assurance that we’ll have it. There was a man in Wayeross Who, of his wife thought he was boss, Till she hit him a whack ’ i; * ' In the small of the back, And then he knew who not to cross. Bully boy, (?) "Slab.” You have struck, the right nail on the head now. You could not have struck a sweeter or prettier name unless it could be named "Bel-Air.” (Au Francois.) Yes, I’ll be with you when you squander(?)that nickle on the trolley system of street cars that Waycros3 is going to have soon. No, "Slab,” old boy, (?) I a*i "not in it” with your, old man in the poetry line. Ask him to give us some more. Let’s have a band stand erected and get up a good brass band to give con certs once or twice a week. Then you will be able to see Waycross’ “fair daughters and brave sons’” And there are none in this country who can compare with the former in regard to beauty, eh: "Slab,” old boy (?) S LAB LOVE AVON BENT Let’s have that bike race on the glo rious Fourth. As patriotic citizens of this great country we ought to do some thing to show our loyalty. By all means let the grand old bird "screech” on Tues day. The S. F. & W. Ry. are having quite a meloncolic time of it just now, having transported over two thousand car loads of that sweet vegetable (?) to northern markets for the "Yankees and hogs” to eat and think they are enjoying them selves, forsooth. If you want to know the’ time Ask a policeman— The proper Greenwich time. Ask a policeman; Every member of the force Has a watch and chain,' of apurse. If you want to know the time Ask a Waycross policeman. By the way, don’t yon think we have good looking lot of men on our foorce ? ” They would certainly do credit to the "Brdadway squad” as far as looks go, anyway, and they certainly earn every cent that is paid to them for their services. "I am wid the police” ’ivery rime, except whin I’m sober, and then "they are after me, they’re after me.” “SLAB GOES FISHING.” The festive little red bug Is only a tiny thing, \ He cannot hop or skip about. Neither can he sing. But notwithstanding all of this. The little fellow’s game; i He seizes on with death-like grip And gets there jist the same. These thoughts came to me with pain ful vividness after my old man and me got back from our fishing expedition the other day. We spent a whole day an gling for the inhabitants of the water. We took a seat upon the banks Of the winding old Satilla, Shaded from the sun’s fierce rays By a fresh, green weeping willow ; And there we sat the live-long day, A lookin’ and a wishin’— I a’fightin’ flies and bugs. And my old man a’ fishin’. I do not remember at this distance the exact number we caught, and as I have a desire to be truthful in all my state ments I will not attempt to tell you how many. However, I will say this—we went, we came, we scratched. We are planning now for our summer outing, and will be off at an early day. It’s fashionable now, you know,, to “go away for the summer,” and if you keep in the style and keep up with "Sassiety,” you must take a trip either to the mount ains or to the seashore. So we are going—even if we only spend a few days on the mountains about Glenmore or drink the spring water at Argyle. We must have our vacation, and when.we get home we can tell our neighbors what we saw and heard while we were eff for the summer. St Simons is a most delightful place at this reason of the year. The Waycross colony is delightfully situated, and "it is good to be there.” It’s just fine to fall and tumble in the surf and wrestle with the breakers. I love to sit in the old pavilion and watch thfe vessels sailing into port, while the inspiring breezes from old ocean fan my cheeks. My old man and me "carried on” a good por tion of qur courtship right there at old St. Simons, and I expect we “carried on” awfully in the eyes of some of the dried- up old maids and old women who love to gossip and who claim to have gotten over all that “silly sentimentalism.” The great trouble is, in many cases they got over it all too soon. Why, still courting and the honeymoon is not over yet. For my part I hope it will last as long-as life. Nothing encourages and helps a woman more than lor her lius AT COST! We must reduce our stock at any hazard before our annual stock taking on August 1st. Conse quently we offer our ENTIRE LINE of SUMMER DRESS GOODS and SHOES at ACTUAL COST. We mean exactly what we say, and will prove it if you give us a chance. JVIail Orders Solicited. THE C. C. GRACE CO., WAYCROSS, GA.

Virgil Lanier browned at Tybee. j Mr. W. Virgil Lanier, traveling sales man for Fretwell & Nichols, Savannah, was drowned at Tybee yesterday. Mr. j Lanier was a cousin of T. E. and Bob ! Lanier of this city. Virgil Lanier had gone to Tybee with Miss Deila Price, to whom he was engaged, and to whom he was to have been married in a few weeks. Mr. Lanier went into the surf and made a dive ; he was never seen again. The young lady waited for him for some minutes and then gave the alarm. The search for the body has so far been futile. He was probably taken out by the swift unkertow. Mr. Lanier was in Waycross a few days since and -visited the Herald office. Miss Price is prostrated. This is one more of the many sorrowful tales of the sea. Turner for Senator. The following from the Brunswick Times*Advertiser shows how the land lies in this sectior: “With Henry G.
