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. “Dab.” FROM CHICAGO. ! DEATH OF CAPT. E. H. CRAWLEY.

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.

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. S. AMOJG THE CHURCHES. PRES BYTERIAN CHURCH. Williams Street, Rev. W. S. Porter, Pastor.

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. Judge Mershon Locates la Waycross For the Presort. Judge M. L.' Mershon will locate in Waycross for the present, and has open ed his law office in the Wilson block, near the court house. Law business en trusted to his care will be prop cry look ed after. Correspondents are icqocstea to address him at this place. tf 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 refrigerator car cdstg $550. A combined rheum, boils and all' other troubles Home rule for Ireland seems.to be | baggage and mail car costs *3,500, and caused by impure blood. 1 a slip no after all. ' ' » firsuclass coach is valued at *5,500. a slip up afttfr all. . 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. Madam Grundy Says That the young man who falls in IdVe very often dislocates his common sense- That the Methodist should not find fault with yesterday’s weather. They be lieve in sprinkling. That our Chicago correspondent did not go to the exposition for pleasure. He wept to take his wife. That she don’t think it fair for Mr. Scruggs to do all the preaching and let Judge Brewer and Deacon Brown pass aroqnd the hat and collect the money. Tliat the best remedy lor hard times is hard work. Thas the best time to quit drinking whisky is just before you commence. That she would like to have j bring the chickens and the. eggs and the butter and the turnips along and take dinner with her. The Fastest Vet. W. (4. Dekle the engineer on Monday 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 by Capt. Ballard who is one of our oldest and best passenger conductors. 'An Employee.
