There is a new baby at Buzard Bay and its a boy. It is highly probable that its name will be Grover Cleveland. Mother and child doing well.

The Morton grove, near the barrel factory has been selected as the place where Tom Watson is to speak on the fourth of September. The people’s party men here say a large crowd will be present. We hope Mr. Watson will call around and pay us for a year’s sub scription to the Herald. In this way be may learn something. days. The United .States Government was appealed to, to take charge of quaran tine around Waycross and establish a camp detention where refugees from infected points can lie detained. A for mal invitation was extended to Supt. Fleming of the S., F. & W. Ry., to move his general offices to Waycross in view of the possible danger to Savannah of infection by yellow fever. It is thought that the invitation may be accepted. Surrounded by immense pine forests, high altitude, pure air, together with the splendid sanitary condition of the city, there is no fears entertained of yellow fever here. No more trains coining from Bruns wick will be allowed to enter Waycross. Council Meeting. Council met in regular session last 'night for the transaction of regular busi ness. The matter of the crossing of Lee avenue over the railroad was discussed and efforts will be made to have the crossing put down as soon as practica ble. Tax Assessor’s report show that property in Waycross of the whites has increased #35,000 ami that of the negroes h-.is decreased over #7,000. Alderman McNeil, who.was appointed a committee to have a jail built for the city rc{>orted that the work was completed and that the city now could boast of a good, large, substantial and well arranged jail. Very little action was taken as re gards quarantine against the yellow fever, save what had already been done. A joint meeting of the Board of Health and the City Council was called to meet at 8 o’clock this morning at the City Hall, to properly consider the subject. rious. It is said that the situation in Atlanta is growing serious and that a bread famine or riot is feared. The many workmen thrown out of employment by the railroads and manufacturing inter ests that have closed down, are demand ing work or bread. Citizens and the authorities are considering about what is best to do. The troubles are getting closer home to us every day. Yellow Fever at Port Tampa. Information has been received that eight cases of yellow fever had develop ed aboard a German steamship from Vera Cruz, at Port Tampa. The vessel had been in port four days- when the fever developed. Port Tampa is ten miles from Tampa, the main city. The vessel was ordered to Dry Tortugas where she has gone carrying all her sick. Savannah has quarantined against Tam pa. It is not probable that the lever can reach Tampa, but it is well to keep on the lookout. Waycross will proba bly quarantine against Tampa to-day. SURGEON* BRANHAM DEAD. Notice. The fall meeting of the Cordele Dis trict Holiness Association will be held (D. V.) at Ashburne, Ga., commencing 11th of September, and running 10 days; all in the experience of sanctifica tion or seeking the Blessing are invited; send your name to Rev. T. D. Strong, Ashburn, Ga., so that homes may he provided for you. Let Friday the 8th, September, be observed as a day of fasting and prayer for God’s presence with us in mighty power. J. Lawrence, Sec’ty. Dr. Guiteras Assigned to Brunswick. ashington, Aug. 17.—Dr. Wyman to-day appointed Dr. John Guiteras, professor in the University of Pennsyl vania and formerly a passed assistant sur geon in the marine hospital service, san itary inspector, and assigned him to duty in Brunswick. Dr. Guiteras is one of the best known yellow fever experts in the United States and will superintend preventive measures in Brunswick. A Lonely Funeral—No 3Iore Fear. Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 20.—Surgeon Branham died to-day at 5 o’clock, after lingering twenty-six hours in an uncon scious state. As soon as death was bul letined a large crowd of sympathizing friends gathered on street corners and discussed the unfortunate man’s fate. Surgeon Hutton ordered the finest steel Tempy Faircloth vs. S. F. Sc W. Rail way Company. Judge Sweat granted a new trial in this case jesterday. Many of our read ers remember all the facts and circum stances in it. Andrew Faircloth was killed in the Hurricane creek disaster several years ago, and the railroad com pany settled with his widow as they thought, and in a short time thereafter widow, number two came in and asked to be remembered, and when her de mands were refused she filed suit. At the last term of Pierce Superior court the obtained a verdict for somethtng over six thousand dollars. The Judge’s de cision on yesterday sets that verdict asde and we suppose the case will be tried over again. Fir.* This Morning—Two Residences Burned. The fire alarm sounded out sharp and clear upon the cool fresh air at a few minutes to five this morning. The rolled silver mounted casket in the city .slumbering citizen was speedily aroused Ware County Teachers’ Institute. The Ware County Teachers’ Institute met in regular session August 21st at Waycross Academy. Names of teacheis present: S. P. Settle; W. E» Gullette; W. S. Booth; W. G. Heame; E. Boyles; J. J. Sedgwich; W. W. Brown; J. W. Rutherford; E. A. Jeffords; B. F. Pad gett; C. A. O’Quinn; J. H. Newham; Zeb. B. Sanders; John Lee; R. A. Eakes; Whitley Langston; Miss Kathleen El more; Miss An ness Cundiff; Miss Fannie Milton; Miss Ether Mawghoni; Miss Nora Gilbon; Miss Mamie Clark; Miss Dicie Giddins; Miss I»lt Spence. At the last meeting of the Institute Prof. S. P. Settle was chosen as expert, W. S. Booth chairman and W. E. Gul lette secretary. The Institute is moving on very smoothly and satisfactorily to the teachers in attendance. At 4:15 p. in. on inotton the house adjourned till 9 o’clock a. in. August 22nd. Headquarters B. k W. Railroad Re moved to Tilton. Mr. Geo. W. Haines, the official man ager of the B. & W. Railroad, accompa nied by about fifty clerks and assistants, passed through the city last night for Tifton where he will make temporary headquarters. The citizens of Waycross would be glad to have Mr. Haines re turn to this city when the five days pro- ^ bation has expired, and it is expected W that he will do so. We learn that Mr. Haines would have taken up his head quarters here last night, but for notice that in such case Savannah and other , cities would quarantine against us had he done so. Waycross has long desired to have Mr. Haines make his headquar ters here and we hope the day is not Car and sent it to the house. It was letf near the gate and Surgeon Carter and his assistants carried it into the house. The body was wrapped in sheets soaked in bychloride of mercury, and around the lifeless form a large national flag was rolled. On leaving Washington Sargeon Hutton had premonition that Surgeon Branham would die, and, prompted by this feeling placed the flag in his trunk. THE BODY REMOVED. The casket and remains were brought to quarantine limits, and there Surgeons Hutton and Guiteras and Undertaker Moore and son placed it in the hearse. quickly transported to the grave in New Cemetery, and in presence of the Morning News correspondent, sur geons, undertaker and minister was low ered to its last resting place by the light of the cloud dimmed moon. The Rev. Edward F. Cook, ofMcKendree Methodist church read the burial vices. The grave was covered and the party returned to town. Branham’s brother did not reach here and he died without hearing in his unconscious state the loving message from his sick wife in far off Maryland. Surgeons Hutton and Cartels sorrow is great, but they did all that could be done to bring to life their stricken comrade. no more fear. There is no more fear of yellow fever in Brunswick. This is the first case in sixteen years and it is to be hoped that it will be the last. Believing that money matters will Dn be easier, already a number of our young men are preparing to take a busi ness course. And as the Georgia Busi ness College, of Macon, Ga., the most famous .and successful in the South, guarantees to give a more practical training in shorter time and at less ex pense than any other institution. We would suggest that it will pay any young man to write for full particulars, before making other arrangements. Says BrnnswicV is Not Affected by Yel low Fever. Washinhton, Aug. 17.—Prof. Gui. teras, the yellow fever expert, who went to Brunswick to determine the case of Dr. Branham, to-day telegraphed Sur geon General Wyman, confirming the decision that the patient had the yellow fever, but so far it does not appear that the city is in any way affected. Camp Meeting at Homcrville. The Homerville campmeeting will begin September the 15 at 7:30 p. m and will run 10 days. I hope the peo ple will see that this is a good opportu nity to do good. Let every one that can get tents or houses, and help with the meeting and do good and get good. A. H. Bazemork, P. ( ’. The Refugees Pass Through Waycross. Two trains loaded with refugees and their baggage from Brunswick, passed throught the city last, night. The doors were locked and the trains did not back into the city. It was estimated that about five hundred persons we*-e trains and their destination was North Georgia. No one from Brunswick was allowed to remain in the city and it said that only a few of the jiassengers from his dreams, and in a short time Gilmore street was the scene of bustle and excitement. Fire had been discov ered issuing from the residence of Mr. J. S. Tart, and the flames spread rapidly. A Herald reporter was on the ground in short order, and soon the different hose companies made their appearance. The house had evidently been set on lire from the inside and the flames were bursting from windows and doors before connection could be made with the water mains. An unoccupied house belonging to H. A. Cannon about forty feet from Mr. Tart’s also caught and was burned. The fire companies directed their attention mainly to saving the houses of Messrs. Stead and Crawford, which were quite near, and in this they succeeded. The fire was incendiary without doubt, as Mr. Tart informs us that he left no fire in the house last night. The sup position is that the house was robbed and fired. Mr. Tart left home last night to visit his wife’s sister who is seriously ill at Johnson station. Mrs. Tart has been away from home some time. Everything in the.Tart house was burned except one trunk and one chair. Mr. Tart had in surance on house for $700 and on furni ture for $600. His loss is not less than $700. There was $700 insurance on the Cannon house. The fire company did their whole duty and saved two resi dences. The main at the end of the street where the fire occurred is only 4 inches. Nevertheless three strong streams were thrown on the buildings. This is the first test our water-works have had at a fire and the result is better than was ex pected. The two buildings were insured with Lott and Murphy. Mr. and Mrs. Tart’s wearing apparel, except what Mrs. Tart had with her, and cansiderable silverware was burned.

'Ye Want Them Here. As soon as the proper time elapses so that there can be no possible chance of their bringing yellow fever germs, the people of Waycross desire|Mr. Haines to move his forces to the city, and we are glad to learn that this is understood to be the arrangement. * Mr. Haines and his force will be welcomed here at the proper time, and everything will be done by our authorities and our citizens to assist him in every possible way and to make his stay with us, be it long or short, pleasant and profitable. Way- cross wants Geo. W. Haines and his forces to come and we believe they will. The New Case at Brunswick. The new case of fever at Brunswick, is that of Peter Harris, a hardware clerk in the employ of the Stubbs-Greer Hardware company. He was stricken on Friday afternoon, and is now in the house in which Dr. Branham died. The case was pronounced yellow fever yester day by the board of physicians and Mr. Harris was immediately isolated. At two o’clock this morning the patient was reported as doing well. To Be An Evening Paper. For the present, the Brunswick Times- Advertiser will be changed from a morning to an evening paper. Friend Wrench is doing the best he ean under the trying circumstances that surround him. “Providence permitting” the T.-A. will be published regularly as heretofore. The editors of the Herald desire to inform Mr. Wrench that he can call on them for any favor power to grant. The Stringency in New York. The New York Tribune tells this good story: “Speaking of financial stringency,” said another to the brokers, “I heard a unique illustration of it a few days ago. A man entered a pawnbroker’s shop in the Bowery, and laying down a twenty dollar bill asked if he could be accom modated with a dollar on it. The pawnbroker was an excellent judge of money, and saw at once that the bill was genuine. So he turned and said to the stranger, shoving the bill toward him as he spoke, that he was in no mood for nonsense. But the stranger, shoving the bill back, rejoined in ear nest tones that he meant business; that he couldn’t get any conductor on a horse ear to change the bill; that he had al ready been put oft' three ears; that his boots were awful tight, and that unless he could get a dollar on the bill he would lie compelled to walk to the Bat tery. Well, the pawnbroker couldn’t but feel that the stranger meant what he said. So he took up the twenty dollar bill, toyed with it a few moments, and then said to him: “Well, my friend, I’d like to accommodate you, but owing to the financial stringency I can only give you seventy-five cents.” For Malaria, Liver Trou ble,or Indigestion,use BROWN’S IRON BITTERS distant when this much to be desired \ desired to stop here.

Mr. Turner Speaks To-Day. Washington, Aug., 21.—Judge Tur ner will probably speak to-morrow on the financial question. It is by no means certain, however. The member from the eleventh district is opposed to discussing public questions in newspapers, and for this reason it is not known exactly what position he will take. It is believed, however, he will advocate adopting a ratio of 20 to \. What he says on the subject will be looked forward to with interest by con gress and the people of Georgia. LU. tl.

We hope and believe an epidemic in Brunswick will be avoided and that, the fever will be stamped out Just at this time, however, the matter begins to look a little serious.
