HU Resignation Received.
Postmaster Fuller has been notified
by the department, that his resignation
has been received and that he would be
relieved as soon as his successor could
be appointed and qualified.
He Has a Hemorrhage.
Mrr J. E. Dustou, a commercial trav
eler, who was stopping at the Phoenix
hotel in this city, had a severe hemor
rhage on Friday evening last. For some
time it was thought that he would die.
This morning, however, he had sufficient
ly recovered to be placed on the cars
and sent to Ashland, X. C.
To Resume Charge of the Baptist
Church.
It affords us much pleasure to be able
to announce that Mr. Scruggs will re
sume his charge of the Baptist church at
this place. This announcement will give
general satisfaction throughout our coni'
munity. Xo man in Waycross is more
highly respected or better beloved than
Mr. Scruggs.
The Melon Solicitors Ordered Out.
This morning’s Thomasville Times
says: “We understand that all the
melon solicitors representing the various
railway lines have been ordered out of
the melon' section by their respective
roads. It is said that this action was
taken by these roads at the request of
the .Savannah, Florida & Western offi
cials.”
Tho Waycross Colony at St. Simon’s
will Build a Warf.
On account of alleged bad treatment
at Brunswick by the present manage
ment of the Steamboat line to St Simon’s,
the Waycross colony have about decided
to build a wharf of their own and to
make arrangements with another line
for transportation from Brunswick to the
island. The expense will be small if-
divided among the cottage owners, and
the building of a wharf of their own will
make them independent of the present
monopoly. The people of Waycross
have done much towards the improve
ment of St Simon’s and they feel that
they are entitled to some consideration.
Much dissatisfaction is felt here and our
citizens are expressing themselves freely.
Many who intended visiting the island
now declare that they will not do so un
till different arrangements are made.
Telegrams were received from the colony
last night countermanding orders for
supplies and for horses and buggies,
which were to have been sent. Way-
cross, her people and her patronage may
not amount to much in the eyes of some
of the Steamboat men of Brunswick, but
one thing is certain, when they set their
heads they all go one way. And when
they think they have not been justly
dealth with they are a unit in resentment.
Our citizens are not disposed to be
captious or fault-finding, but they pro
pose to be treated courteously or they
will decline to be treated at all.
Polecats, Snakes and Alligators.
A. M. Brett, who lives near the river
bridge about two miles from town, in
forms us that during the past two weeks
he has killed fourteen polecats. Seven
of them were killed in one bed. Mr Brett’s
poultry yard has suffered from these
j*ests recently and he is having his re
venge. He says the varmints are very
pretty little animals, but too highly per
fumed to make pets of. Mr. B. Waldron,
who lives five miles south of town, re
igns that he has recently killed an im
mense rattlesnake near his house and
six foot alijgator in his field. This
seems to be a good time for varmints.
-God Is With Us Always.”
Rev. G. W. Matthews, pastor of the
Methodist church, excelled himself yes
terday morning. His subject was,
“God Always With Us,” and the sermon
was full of encouragement to believers.
God’s promises is that He is with us al
ways even unto the end. With us in
business, in our domestic affairs, and
in every department of life. He is not
as a way farcing man that turneth aside
to tarry for a night, but He means to
abide with us, in our hearts forever,
is not as a mighty man who cannot s;
“but He is able to save to the uttermost
all who come unto Him.”
The Rev. Mr. Mathews is very much
beloved, not only by his own congrega
tion but our entire people.
Mr. Thomas P. Bird Injured.
Mr. Thomas P. Bird, one of the fore
men in the S., F. & W. Ry. yard, was
painfully though not seriously injured
while nt work in the yard Monday. He
will be laid up for several days. Mr.
Bird is known as one of the most effi
cient men in the employ of rhe railroad
at this place, and his friends will be sor
ry to hear of his mishap. We hope his
recovery will be speedy.
Prayer Meeting near the River Bridge.
It is currently rej>orted that a party of
yonng men went out to the river yester
day afternoon for a bath. While there
the storm came up; the wind blew a
hurricane and the rain poured in tor
rents. The party sought shelter under
the bridge which soon began to tremble
and sway. Apparently the whole party
were in great danger and some of them
becoming frightened, made promises of
reformatian and declared they would
never go in bathing again on Sunday.
It is also stated that a little prayer meet
ing was inaugurated on the spot, and
young men who had forgotten “Xow I
lay me down to sleep,” repeated the
Lord’s Prayer in fine style. The occa
sion is said to have been very interesting.
-SLAB” GOING TO THE SEA SHORE.
The idea, Mr. Editor, of you making
the suggestion that “Dab” and myself
go into the “weed” business. Xo, sir!
“we’d” do nothing of the sort. We are
“not built that way.” We may have
the “hose” and “wear the stripes,” but
do not propose to cut down the
weeds—do we “Dab?” We draw the
line just there, if you please.
Imagine Slab
And her friend Dab
Cntting down the weeds together :
Yop just bet
If M
The City Council will oblige us all
very much if they will give this matter a
little attention. If they desire to be re
elected to their honorable and lucrative(?)
positions they must carry out the wishes
of “Slab” and the people, and cut down
the weeds. If they do not do the right
thing, they are Jiable to lose my influ
ence and my old man’s vote, and that
would mean defeat for them in the next
election. But I’m sure they will cut the
graxs at the proper time.
Well, we are just on the eve of mov
ing our “knitting” to the delightful sea
side resort, St. Simons. Yes, sir, we are
going to join the crowd of merry pleasure
seekers and take a tumble in the surf.
A good crowd of Waycrossites are already
there, and we have sent ’em word to
“look out for us, we’re coming too.” A
number of families will go down this
week.
To see all the Waycross people in the
colony, reminds one of a large family of
boys and girls. All are perfectly at
home, and there’s-not a hippier set of
folks in the world. A rollicking, frolick
ing party, bent on having a good time,
and doing all in their power to add to
the pleasure of the others in the settle
ment. It’s a good place to forget the
cares that haunt us day by day and al
most crush us to the earth at times. It
does “us women” good and revives our
spirits, to lay aside for a season all of
our household cares and take life e
We have a great deal to worry us and
fret us and try our patience, and we
need a little rest and recreation. My
old man is very good to me and insists
upon me resting for a month or two.
Maybe I will, but expect I’ll get “tired
of resting” before that time. We will
be together most of. the time, for he will
stay at the island as much as possible.
Of course he’ll have to look after the
stove a little. Any wfty, Mr. Editor,

The Secret of Success for the Monopoly Oppressed Farmer
IS TO PLAXT ORCHARDS. California found not her greatest wealth in
her gold mines, but in her vineyards and orchards. Georgia and the South can
excel the dry, hot climate of Calirornia in the production of fine fruits ; but to do
o we must quit planting cheap, worthless brush, and plant none but southern
grown trees procured direct from the Cherokee Xursery. The people of Ware and
unrounding counties cannot afford to waste money buying northern grown trees.

There are millions of fish in the pond
and a big time is expected. A party
will probably go up from Waycross with
frying pans and other paraphornalia,
and a good time is expected.

Out at Kettle Creek.
Services at Kettle Creek church have
been in doily and night sessions since
last Friday, and much interest is mani
feet Last Sunday Rev. W. A. McDon
ald, the old veteren soldier, statesman
- and minister preached one of his most
able sermons. Monday Rev. Mr. Taylor
preached toon attentive congregation,
and still the services continue. Delega
tions frem Waycross, Waresboro and
Waltertown were there lost Sunday, and
the ministers in charge would be glad to
have them all the week.
Rowdies at Kettle Creek Church.
Last Friday night while services were
i^in progress at Kettle Creek church,
I 8 ° me miscreant broke up tl\e seat" and
I attempted to unscrew the wheel-taps of
■ the road cart of Mr. J. E. McLendon.
" His daughter and two little sons had
come to church in it, and if they had
succeeded in moving the taps the mule
would most certainly have run away
when the wheels come off. The blanket,
used as a covering on ths seat was also
smeared with-axle grease, ruining the
young lady’s dress.
There seems to be a bad element in
the Kettle Creek settlement, and a gen
uine revival is badly needed in that sec
tion.
Bad Treatment at Brunswick.
Editors Herald :
A party of Waycross people went
down on the Saturday evening B. & W.
St. Simons special. They didn’t reach
St Simons Island, however, although
the special was put on for that purpose,
and advertised as a sure connection with
the steamer. The speeial was late in
reaching Brunswick, and the boat had
been gone forty minutes. Our colonists,
however, made themselves comfortable
on the dock until the boat returned at
10 o’clock, expecting of course, that
they would be taken over. There were
some twenty waiting to go.
The boat returned, and the captain
very unserimonionsly informed the party
that he wasn’t going back. Every effort
was made to find the Manager ot the
line, but up to 12 o’clock all efforts to
find him, or to engage another boat were
fruitless, and the party was compelled
to retire to a hotel. One lady was going
in answer to a telegram to her sick child.
One man had a sick wife, and all in the
party had friends or relatives awaiting
their arrival on the island.
As tfcis was the first run of this special
and many of our people were getting
ready to go to the island for the season,
the sort of treatment accorded our peo
ple Saturday night will* cause a good
many to defer going until they are as
sured lhat they will not be subjected to
the same treatment. With Tybee and
Pablo and Cumberland bidding for our
patronage we can afford to be pretty in
dependent.
It is unnecessary to point out to the
Managers of the St. Simons line what
they should do in this matter, but a pro
per regard to their own interest makes
it plain to us that they should take some
immediate action and make the amende
honorable for what was manfestly very
bod treatment of our people Saturday
night. Waycrossite "
Come down, Mr. Editor, and go in
swimming. It’s a good place, and you’ll
feel like a boy again. The cnly trouble
about it is, you’ll miss the old log that
you used to jump from into the pond
near the country school-house on the
hill. It’s gone, and the old school-house
has rotted down and gone to decay. The
teacher sleeps beneath the sod, and
many of those we knew are long since
dead.
“Few are left to meet us now.
And few are left to know
Who-played upon the school-house grounds
Just twenty years ago.”
Ah, the changes that a few brief years
bring about. How well do I remember
the bright eyes and the honest face of
my boyish lover in those days of inno
cence and childhood. He was kind and
clever, and of course I loved him. How
could I help it? But it remains only as
a memory—a sweet dream—for “Dennis’
married the other girl, and I'm glad he
did, for I wouldn’t give my old man for
forty like “Dennis.” No, I wouldn’t.
Come down any way, and take a
“dip” in the ocean. It will do you good.
Tell “Dab” to come too.
