In fact, Brunswtck has the appearance of being anything but a dead town. .Superintendent Dan took us over to the Island in fine style. The Way cross colony is a rattling success, and numbers in all. little, big, old and young, white and black, in the neighborhood of four hundred happy sopls. The colony is one big family of friends, neighbors and fellow-townsmen. They eat together, live together, wear each other’s bathing suits, and in fact everything belonging to the colony seems to be common property. They are having a jolly, good time, that*! tain. Mr. H. Murphy seems to be the guardian of the diolony, and were Mrs. ling and handsome, e might put her down as mother of the hole outfit. •Sheriff Miller, assisted by Deputy Sheriff Young, have beeu preparing for the execution of Jim Courney for sever al days, and Thursday afternoon the pre parations were complete. The scaffold was erected in the rear of the jail and surrounded by a plank fence twenty-feet high. The rope used was an inch Ma nilla. A Herald reporter was on ha?id at half past eleven, and asked the doom ed man if he was ready. The reply was: “I am ready, and my sins are lorgiv- ST. SIMON’S DOTS From The Waycross Colony* The girl with the red dress is here and is breaking as many hearts as ever. We are very sorry to hear that Mrs. H. W. Reed has sold her cottage on the Island. We heard a young lady remark that Mr. Ed. Crawley was the handsomest young man in the surf. That was a slam on the young men in the surf. Mr. Singleton returned on the 26th, and we are inclined to believe he will make an early call at Blackshear. Mrs. W. W. Sharp holds the cham pionship for catching crabs. The gallant young man, Mr. Henry Reed, has returned bo his home. Come Manor Mentioning. Our town has never been in a higher state of progress than now. It is a pleasure to note this, as it can only be attributed to the progress!venessot the people. Our schools are still flourishing. The Sunday and week-day schools have both the most flattering prospects for the fu ture. Rev. R. A. James gave us an interest ing sermon on last Saturday. We are delighted to hear him and invite him to give us a regular appointment. Mr. J. H. Miller gave the boys and girls and everybody else an interesting lecture, sound advice, etc. Mrs. R. A.

They write that the Wavcross Club must play ball or take water. The Herald has referred their second challenge to the Wavcross Club, and Quitman will doiibtless hear from them soon. j The Game Saturday. The Brunswick 2nd Nine played i he Way cross 2nd Nine on Saturday. The visiting Nine were badly beaten, the score standing 28 to 3. It is said that the buckshots of Way cross did some fine playing. The Brunswick boys, however, had a good time and went away happy. Somrlhlnft To Remember, if you’rje a weak or ailing woman:—that there’s only one medicine so sure to help you that it can be guaranteed. It’s Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. In build ing up overworked, feeble, delicate wo men, or in any “female complaint” or weakness, if it ever fails to benefit or cure, you have your money back. It’s an invigorating, restorative tonic, :i soothing and strer.gthing nervine, and a safe and certain remedy for women’s ills and ailments. It regulates and promotes all the proper functions, improves di gestion, enriches the blo«xl, dispels aches and pains, brings refreshing sleep, and restores health and strength. Nothing else can be as cheap. With this, you pay only for the good you get. Mrs. Grady, mother of the lamented Henry Grady, is occupying a cottage in the colony. We were pleased to meet her. In a week or ten days, the picnic at St. Simons will begin to break up. The season has been a delightful one for the Waycrossites who have been on the is" land. Tilton Downs Waycross. Tiftox, Ga., July 27, 1893. Special Correspondence Herald.] One of the most exciting games ot ball was played here yesterday that was ever witnessed on our ball ground, be tween the Way cross and Tifton Clubs. The game was not called until 4 30 o’clock, owing to the rain. About five hundred occupied the grand stand, at least one hundred of them being ladies. The game ran smoothly along until the beginning of the seventh inning, when umpire Cawley declared Andrews of the visiting Club, out, while trying to steal second, and the boys refused to tolerate his umpiring, and as the boys would not go to the bat^the umpire gave the game to the Tiftons, 9 to 0. A good many decisions of the umpire were criticised on several points of the game. Arrangements have been ' made be tween the two Clubs to play a: an early date on Wavcross grounds. After the game was called the young Indies of Tifton presented each member of the visiting team with a boquet of flowers. The visiting team was royally treated Trouble About the Livery Stable.

At eight lie ate a nearly breakfast of eggs, rice, beef, bis cuit and coffee, after which he seemed to enjoy the half of a fine watermelon, furnished him by the Sheriff. At 11 44 the Sheriff read the death warrant which he hear! in silence and .. 1 apparent indifference, soon after which i lie was hand-cuffed and taken to the front door of the jail where an immense crowd, principally negroes, had assem bled. “You can speak to the crowd, if you wish,” said Sheriff Miller. And Courney coming to the front 4 spoke briefly about as follows : “I want' to warn you all against gambling; that is what brought me to this. What I done was for eight cents. All of you try to live*right and don’t gamble. Sheriff Miller has treated me right since I have been in jail, and I have no com plaint to make against anybody. I am ready to die. The doomed man was then conducted by the Sheriff, his deputy and a guard of ten men armed with guns, to the enclo sure. Rev. D. W. Moore and Elder Sam uels, both, colored, attended the prisoner as spiritual advisers and when beneath the scaffold Elder Samuel read a Psalm, and a hymn was sung, the prisoner join ing in. Dr. J. M. Spence, of Waresboro, and Dr. G. P. Folks, ot this city, were in attendence at the request of the Sheriff. At 12 18 the prisoner shook hands with a number of friends near by and ascended, without hesitation, th(* scaffold, someone called ouc from below: Good-bye Jim, take care of yourself!” The black cap was then adjusted, his hands and feet tied, and decending from the scaffold, Sheriff Miller said: “Good bye Jim,” and sprung the trap. The body of Jim Courney the murderer shot through the opening, but his neck was not bioken ; for a few moments he strug gled desperately and blood was seen dropping from beneath the black cap. Drs. English and Spence pronounced him dead in twenty-one minutes and at the expiration of thirty minutes he was put down and placed in a neat coffin. Friends have not claimed the body and he will be buried here. BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CASE. Jim Courney and Jake Smith, turpen tine hands employed near Braganza, gambled and Courney owed Jake eight cents, this amount Jake asked Courney Sunday morning, April 2, Courney caught Jake by the throat and stabbed J him in the breast, killing him almost j instantly. The murderer fled but was ' captured and placed in Ware county jail. Court being in session the case was tried on the oth of April, and Cour ney was sentenced to be hung.* Appli cation for new trial was made and re fused by Judge Sweat. The applica tion was appealed and the Supreme court sustained Judge Sweat. Courney was re-sentenced to die to-day. NOTES. The drop .was six and a half fee*. Next to the doomed man, Sheriff Mil ler and Deputy Youug were the coolest men on the ground. i Sheriff W. II. Ellis.of Wayne county ; and Sheriff John Ellis, Jr., of Appling 1 county, were present.

The Herald office was made glad yes terday by the present of a basket of the Iarsest and most lutcious peaches we have f all da\ These notes liavi been written in haste will be able to make vhen r whe the > jovial, jolly Dr.< Judging from appearances Mr. D. B. Sweat must be having a fine time down here. He told a young lady , but no matter what he told the young lady, I presume it was the “same old story.” A party of young folks went out ser enading the other night, but the music did not seem to have any charms for the sleepy Waycross colony. The next time they want music they’ll have to grind it out themselves. Mr. Will McNeil came and brought a basket of peaches for a youug lady, the other day. His mother lost ten pounds when she found the peaches were not for, for her. A party of young folks went over to Brunswick for a boat ride a* few nights since and had a pleasant time. One of the party, however, did not seem to en joy himself much. The first letter of his name is Mr. Whelpley. He had either forgotten how to talk or had talked out before loaving the Island. Perhaps he was thinking of something nice to write about some of his friends to the Herald. *A person that can talk and wont talk, ought to be made to talk or quit talking about other people’s talking. Quite a commotion in the colony Mon day afternoon, caused by the announce ment that a Macon family had been poisoned. Five of them suffered from the effects of the poison, which came from a can of corn beef. The seining party made a good haul yesterday. In addition to a large quan tity of the smaller varieties of fish, they caught a large bass wliieh tipped the beam at forty pounds. a One of our ladies has a novel mark for her chickens. .She ties a red string around the left foot, and in that way dis tinguishes her fowls from those of her neighbors.

To Organize a Brass Baud.. We learn with pleasure, that there is a movement on foot in Waycross to or ganize a brass band. It is wonderful indeed, that a town the size of our’s and a town that has nearly everything else, is without a band. Mr. Gerber is said to be a fine teacher and yve hope the band will be organized at once. With the band and the Herald to blow for Waycross, nothing can impede her pro gress. A Snpposed Waycross Murderer Cap tured. A negro recently captured in .Savan nah, and who calls himself Tom Jones, is supposed to be Columbus Newcott who murdered Lucy Reed in Way* in 1885. He tried to kill a woman in Savannah for .the reason it is supposed that she knew he was the murderer of Lucy Reed. Sheriff Miller went to Savan nah on Saturday and says the negro an swers the discretion of Newcott. A party goes to Savannah to-day to identi fy the negro.
