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.

A party will probably go up from Waycross with frying pans and other paraphornalia, and a good time is expected. My okl man is a sight in the surf. He is all bones and two yards long. But I am just as proud of him as if he was four yards long and weighed a ton. Good frame store building, corner Railroad and Bananna streets, in the town of Glen more, for sale or barter.

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. Yours truly, “Slab. 1 Two stores on Plant avenue 30x80.
