THIS AND THAT.
BY DAB, FOR THE HERALD.
Wait and you’ll hear a fine “boy
choir” in Grace Episcopal church in the
near future. The wardens and menir
hers of the congregation are to be con
gratulated on having secured a pastor
in the person of Rev. Mr. Kimball, of
.Savannah. He is to take charge some
time in October, and I predict a goDd
congregation and a working one for
him by Christinas.
■ What’s the matter with Waycross
having a “mock legislature” this winter ?
It would be a good school for all young
men and in fact for a good many old
men. Surely there is enough oratorical
talent in the city. It would serve to
bring out any latent talent for debating
that may be laying around loose. It
would also be the means of educating
the younger portion of the male popula
tion on the different questions of the
day. By all means let us have one this
winter. I for one would like to see the
thing started soon. n
Sunday School teacher: “Now, what
little boy can repeat the shortest com
mandment ? It has only four words ”
Pupil : “I can, Miss.”
Teacher; Well, what is it ?”
Pupil: “Keep off the grass.”
“Lives of all great men remind us.
We should choose our wives with care,
And in departing, not leave behind us.
Half our natural crop of hair.”
The newest arrival at the White house
will be named Frances Folsom Cleve
land. .See if I aint right.

! DEATH OF CAPT. E. H. CRAWLEY.
Editor Herai.d:—I have found Mrs. Waycross Uses One of Her Oldest and
Funeral of Capt. E. H. Crawley.
fi Capt. Crawley was buried at Lott
/Cemetery from his late residence on Al-
XaACKsheak chapter no. o, r. a. I bany Avenue this morning at 11 o’clock,
Meets at Masonic Hall, Plant Avenue, 1st and notwithstanding the inclemency of
. numth «» . r. m tlie weather, an immense multitude had
assembled to pay a last tribute of res
pect to our deceased fellow citizen.
Funeral services were held at the res
idence, after which the procession with
the Waycross Rifles, numbering over
thirty members, as an escort, and follow
ed by the Masonic fraternity in full
force, moved to the cemetery. The pro
cession of carriages extended fully a
third of a miie. A number being filled
with the near relatives of the deceased.
The concourse of people was larger
than any ever seen in the city before on
a similar occasion. The services at the
grave were under the auspeeies of the
Masonic fraternity and the ceremony
was beautiful and impressive as it al
ways is. The Rifles fired a salute and
the bugler, Mr. Gerber, gave “taps”
which means “lights out’’ and “rest”
Capt. E. H. Crawley the Me voted hus
band and the fond father, the staunch
friend, and the veteran of many battles
who so lately moved among us in the
full strength and vigor of mature man
hood, is no more. He has fought his
last battle, he has paid nature’s last
debt. He sleeps beneath the sod in
Lott Cemetery, but liis memory will he
eneerish by loved ones as the years roll
by. Our sympathy are with the bereav-

S. since writing you, hence I do not fully
appreciate the loss as I wrote you in my
former letter.
We have been here now two days and
of the 198 miles of walking it takes to see
the whole fair we have been over on foot
1951 miles of it, and will take in the
other 21 miles to-morrow and be ready
for the other sights. A good deal of
this has been duplicate walking so I
think a close calculation without allow
ances would make our walk about 279J
'miles, and it was not a good time for
walking either, because there was so
many other people there.
Now just whether these people went
because I was there I will not say, but it
seemed they were all following me
around. Everywhere I went they fol
lowed. Whether they went to see me I
will not say, but I do say If we had not
been there there would not have been so
many people there. No not by two. v
But the fair is the place for the Amer
ican people to go to be proud of Amer
ica. No country on the face of the globe
could get up such a collection of the
world’s best of all things, and of course
with these best some of the snide affairs
follow to reap the harvest of the unwise.
We saw' from an electric launch ran
by electricity stored in a battery one of
the grandest illustrations of ancient
or modern times. In fact I think the
grandest, on thVLake with miles of
electric jets around you with bands of
music above you, in full view of two
colored electrical fountains with altera-
ting colors every half minute, with pow
erful search lights being operated from
the lops of the government buildings,
and with 300,000 people standing, sit
ting, riding, etc., in full view with all
these at one and the same time imagine
it if you can, ( I could not myself) but
I saw it, and it was indeed grand.
When we get back home there will be
good times in our neighborhood. Mrs.
S. says she is going to get Mr. Albertson
to put an electric wire in our house, and
do like they do up here, cook, batch
chickens," write, play the piano, run a
carriage all by electricity, and. you may
soon see it, for it is an Accomplished
fact here. All things are being done
now by this great and yet undeveloped
agent.
Rut this is long enough. More anon.

From Chicago.
Editors Herald:—My wife and I
promised to give you a Jew points con
cerning the great World’s Fair. You
will remember we were sui prised that
of the many who visit the Fair, so far,
few had attempted to give their friends
at home any description of it.A visit here
makes the cause for this apparent neglect
apparent.
The exposition is too big and too mag
nificent to describe. The distances are
so great that one is completely exhausted
in the effort to see even the principal
points of interest, and when one sinks
from sheer exhaustion there is little in
clination to write. No description can
give even a faint glimmer of the truth,
as one sees it. I started out to see the
exposition, three days have passed
and 1 have only seen a small portion of
it. yhis is indeed a “World’s Fair,” for
•here you see the sights that tourist
travel thousands of miles and spend for-
tunes to witness. The dreams of the
Orient, the grandest of ancient Rome,
Grceee and Athens, the practical life of
modern Europe and Asia. Every con
ceivable thing in life is well represented.
A life time of effort and a library of
literature would be necessary to describe
even the principal items of interest, so
why attempt an effort that would be
only _a drop in the great ocean of tact?
Those who would know’ must come and
see for themselves.
The “Herald” has not arrived yet, and
we miss home news. I will see you next
week. Very truly,
H.' W. Reed.
Best Citizens.
Capt. E. H. Crawley died at hfe home
in Old Waycross this morning at half
past 9 o’clock, after an illness of only a
few days.
The announcement was unexpected
and the community is greatly shocked.
Capt Crawley was one of our oldest and
most highly respected and beloved citi
zens and his death casts a gloom over the
entire city. Capt. Crawley was treasurer
of Ware county, a member of the board
of aldermen of Waycross and held the
office of King in the Chapter of Royal
Arch Masons at this place. He was a
prosperous merchant and farmer and a
leading citizen. He leaves a large fam
ily connection and host of friends to
mourn his loss. Many a poor farmer in
Ware and adjacent counties will miss
the generous hearted end liberal busi
ness man who has tided them over many
a time when their burdens were heavy.
Capt Crawly w’as a friend to the poor
and needy and the entire community
w;ill feel his loss. A fitting tribute to his
memory willjappear in these colulnns la
ter. -The funeral services will take place
Iron, the residence of the deceased
at 3)1 o’clock to-morrow morning at
Lott Cemetery.
Tlie Herald Volunteers a Little Advice.
•Since the yellow fever scare com
menced in Brunswick, the Herald has
watched the situation closely, and it will
be remembered that' we endorsed the
action of Mayor Lamb when he advised
the evacuation of the city. Tlie fever
has broken out again and will irt our t
opinion become epidemic if there is suf
ficient food for it to feed upon. Evacua
tion is the only remedy and we advise
that it be applied at once. Camp Haines
can accommodate two or three thousand
people,‘four thousand .perhaps, if neces
sary. The camp is situated in a healthy
location, high, and dry, with an ample
supply of good water. Let all who can,
move out at/ once to the camp. The
government is prepared to furnish tents,
mattresses and food. Those who go to
the cifthp will not be allowed to suffer
for roythirig^and we believe it is a duty
he citizens of Brunswick owe themselves,
their families and the country. It will
be a terrible blow to the business inter
est of Brunswick but it is the dernier re
sort. Better this than an epidemic.
Better this than the utter ruin of a beau
tiful and prosperous city. Better this than
the loss of four or five hundred lives.
The latest developments show plainly
that the dreaded microbe lurks in the
atmosphere of the devoted jeity. A fight
against it on its own grounds would prove
futile. Discretion in this battle is the
better part of valor. The insidous foe
cannot * be openly combatted. Desert
your homes for a brief season that' you
may occupy them in peace and happi
ness in the future. Let our Brunswick
friends remember the dark days of 1877
and prepare at once to avoid a repeti
tion of the same. Think of the desola
tion of Savannh and the terrible exper
ience of Jacksonville a few years since
Retreat at once and leave “the pesti
lence that walketh in darkness” to per
ish for want of human victims.
IT
MORE FEVER IN BRUNSWICK.
Kilain. a Shoemaker Dies.
The following from the Brunswick
. A. of Vast night explains the .situa
tion in Brunswick. There can be no
doubt that yellew fever has broken out
again in that terribly affleted city. Way-
cross must do her whole duty. The peo
ple of Brunswick must not be allowed
to suffer.
Dr. Gutieras, assisted by the city phy
sicians, held an autopsy on the body of
Kilain, the shoemaker, this morning at
the cemetery, and pronounced it yellow
fever.
Another case of a suspicious character
also reported at the city hospital.
There can be no reason in doubting
the faet that the condition is one of se
rious apprehension.
There has, as yet, been no meeting of
the Board of Health, and it is yet diffi
cult to suggest what is best to be done
If there are epidemic conditions the
fact will soon be made known.
Hewever this may be, it is a dark
cloud which rests over Brunswick.
Our people cannot run as they did
before. >.
Those who are here , are well-nigh
helpless to sustain themselves.
The people seem to take the matter
with a calm philosophy, but there is a
tremor of uneasiness that runs with the
idle jest.-
The T. A. regrets that it cannot con
scientiously speak more reassuringly;
that it cannot suggest what is best to do.
In the meantime, we should be cool
and cautious.
Perhaps another day will make a bet
ter showing. Let us hope so.

The Cost of Cars.
“Few Persons,” says a railroad man,
have any idea of the enormous
cost of rolling stock. The price of a
single car ranges froqj $15,000 down to
$300. The former is the price of a
first-class Pullman car, while the latter
is that of what is known as a flat car,
such as is used to haul gravel and dirt.
A common fiat bottomed coal cay costs
$500, while & car with a double hopper
bottom is quoted at a hundred more. A

. Brunswick Notes.
Alas! for pocr Brunswick.
Camp Haines is being rapidly put in
order for occupancy.
We bid our friends in the affleted city
be cheerful and hopeful. The sunshine
will follow the rain.
It i3 quite probable that a general
quarantine will be declared against
Brunswick all along the line to-day.
We learn that the three new cases of
fever are Kilain, a shoemaker, a Norwe
gian sailor, and a brother of the little
Cox girl.
It is sad indeed, that just as the
plucky little city was reviving and get
ting her business started and confidence
renewed, she should be again stricken
by the scourge.
The inevitable quarantine will again
paralize Brunswick, but she must bear
it as best she can.
Let us hope and pray that Bruns
wick’s troubles will come to an end, and
that very soon.

Sept. 11th, train, 78 made the run from
Thomasville to Waycross, covering a
distance of 104 miles, in two hours and
twenty-six minutes, including ten stops.
This is given up,by train men and dis
patchers as being the fastest run on
record lietween these points. '•‘‘Billy”
has the record of a fast freight train
man and judging from the above figures
he has made one worthy of note as a
passenger man. ’ He was greatly assisted
