Ben Grace says he will astonish the na tives in a few days with something new. K. B. Goodrich is the only druggist in old Waycross, and can be relied on everytime. The Bibb boys are very quiet but they are saw ing wood and selling groceries as cheap ,as the cheapest The equinoxial storm is due about the 22nd inst. Pay what you owe the Herald before it eomes. It is rumore^ that the liu’labaloo about yellow jack hits frightened all the yellow jackets out of Ware county. The tramp is coming southward in great numbers. Waycross must make arrange ments to accommodate them with thorough walking tiekets. ' Cason it Miller still hold the fort in old Waycross, and do the largest grocery busi ness in the city. W. R. McIntosh »t Co. are at the old stand ’with an immense stock of ftirniture and house furnishing goods. I). B. English is at the old stand and wjlj sell you dry gomls so cheap that you’ll think you found them. B. H. Levy Bro. & Co. will have a few remarks to make in these columns liefore tin* leaves begin to fall. W. M. Wilson, in the Wilson block Is too well and favorably known to need commen dation or notice from us. J. W. Mallon. general merchandise, is one of the solid business men of the city. His store is located near the court house. And now that Frank, Owens has come home and buckled down to business, we feel safe in promising the old suit a shake. The furniture store of Charley Hohenstieiv & Co. is carrying a complete stock and is offering great inducements to customers. Dr. Brunnor held out against Brunswick as long as possible. The Doctor certainly must be .very bitter against the afflicted city. E, Highsmith carries a complete stock of paints, oils, hardware, domestic dry goods, etc. This is one of the solid concerns of the city. Wm. Parker’s shoe store is located in the Owens block and here yon can be shod in the best style and as cheaply as the law al lows. A.' H. fcollatt is still here and is keeping up with the procession. You need'ntbe surprised to see him spring a mine at any time. j John Lott, dealer in family groceries, hay grain etc., is one of the solidest concerns in the city, entirely reliable and carries a heavy stock. Youmans «fc Gerber keep a standing ad in these columns from one years end to the other. That’s the reason their income tax is so large. McWhorter’s drag store is a little short on soda water, but his stock of drags has been replenished, and he is ready for the fall ciunpaigxu Paine, the cash druggist, can be found in the Polks block, night or day, Sunday or Monday* If you want pills or powders, call cn&dne. We very much fear that now the yellow fever scare is over the people of Brunswick will go to wrangling over matters that had better he let alone. It is sometimes thrown at os by neighbor ing vilages that Waycross is nothing bat a railroad town. All right we’d rather be railroad town than only a piece of a town And now we can safely calculate on a few „ big fat oysters from Brunswick. Send ’em up Brother Wrench or we’ll come alter them if we have to take a microbe by the horns. S ’Mr. H. Murphy is through • with the Methodist church and is not paying as* much attention as usual to the Artesian well The fact is he is raising a crop of young deer in his back yard. The Brunswick Times wants Judge Mer- shon to “dislocate” himself from Waycross and come home. We hope to so intertwine the tendrils of our natural love and affec tion around the Judge as to keep him here for good and all. The Bennett Bros., in the Owens block are as solid as the rock of Gibralter. Don’t for get them when you w ant anything in tli grocery line. Brad Watson «fc Co. yes indeed ! like the poor we have Brad Watson always with us. Some people think the' machinery would stop if we should loose Brad Watson. <iipt James.

Knox is one of the cleverest men in Waycross if we do say it ourself. wlirT-tms’nt known him but six months. T. E. Lanier Son : It is almost a clies. nut to mention this old and reliable firm in a local paragraph. Everybody knows Tom Lanier and has confidence in his integrity. He might be induced to sell yon a watch when you need one. Waresboro Dots. Prof. J. M. Denton, of Coffee county, addressed a large audience at Cleveland Institue Saturday on education and duty of professors, which was highly instruc tive. Prof. Skinner, with his choir, ten dered excellent music during the ning. Little Willie Morrison’s recitation; “Nobody cares lor me”, was fine and enjoyed by all. Mrs. J. H. Brown, the lady that fell from the second floor of the hotel here several days ago, is fast improving and was moved to her home in Brunswick to day. A great many of the refugees from Brunswick, that have been stopping with us, have returned to their home, and we trust they will not have another fever scare soon. Rev. Mr. Glenn preached interesting sermons at the Methodist church here Sunday and Sunday night to a large au dience. Col. R. C. Cannon and lady, of Way- cross, spent yesterday in town the guests of Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Spence. Prof. Skinner’s class in vocal music is progressing finely. He is one of the best vocal music teachers in the country. Revs. D. Morrison and W. C. Glenn are conducting revival services at the M. E. church. Mr. H. Miller was married to Miss Mattie Booth at the residence of the bride’s parents. They will reside at their residence one mile north of town. We wish them a long, happy and pros perous life. Miss Edna Sweat, a charming young lady of Waycross, spent Sunday in town- “Van.” Waresboro, Sept. 11th, 1893. STRAY THOUGHTS. Picked up in My Rrmbles Till rough The City. The mclonclioly days have tome, As sure as you are born, The leaves are falling from the tree.. And the farmer's breaking com. And I am reminded that a most beau tiful harvest of the staff of life is being gathered by the tillers of the soil throughout this entire Southland. The farmers have made plenty and to spare. There's com in the torn house, And pigs in the stye; The farmer will be feasting In the sweet bye-and-bye. After all, the most independent of all the people of creation, are those who follow the plow; The farmer is on top now, and is climbing higher and higher every year that he works. He raises all his supplies. His bread and meat, his syrup and sugar. He does not need much outside of the articles raised at home, and he has something to sell al most the whole year round. I have a friend in Ware county who has not only made a good living at farming, but has laid up more money than a great many men who put on lots of airs and style and sit round town discussing the finan cial situation of the country. * Mr. Editor, it will not be long before we will begin to hear of the “sugar bil- 1 ” We can almost hear’em now, another pleasure found on the farm. Tbink I’ll move out in the piney Yoods just to get into the sweets of cane grind ing and hog killing time. Ex-farmer Stanton, of the Constitu tion. has evidently been there in person, and knows whereof he speaks. He says: The fair time, the dear time, is coinin’ round again. When a fellow’ll meet his sweetheart at the- grindin’ of the cane; When bright eyes will be beamin’ under l>onnets coverin' curls. An’ we’ll kinder think we’re dreamin’ while we’re kissin' of the girls! O, sweet the cane-juice drippin' from the windin’ grindin’ mill! An’ sweet the red lips sippin’—but their kiss is sweeter still! An’ the world is sugar-coated, an’ a fellow can’t complain, When he meets an’ greets his sweetheart at the grinding of the cane! * * So its to be Postmaster McNeil. Well, “Tobe” is a good one, and will no doubt make us a good p. in. He’s just as clev er as a long day in July, and one of the most accommedating men in the land. His position is one in which a man has a good opportunity of showing the peo ple just how accommodating he is. Con gratulations, Bro. Me. . Will Never be Known. The number of drowned and killed by the late terrible storm will never be known. It is somewhere between' 1000 and 1500, mostly negroes. Bodies are still being found occasionally, Blattered over the islands and on the sea-shore. Negro Tramp Killed. A negro tramp, who was stealing a ride on freight train No. 209 was killed the yard at this place on Saturday night It seems that he was on top of the train and fell off. Several cars pass ed over his body and he was badly man gled. The negro recovered sufficiently to tell that his name was Joe—- but could not tell where he came from. He died yesterday morning. That Shooting Saturday Night* Two pistol shots rang out sharp and clear in the vicinity of the union (Jepot Saturday night, at about 9 o’clock. Herald reporter was on the ground in a few minutes, and learned that the Mar shal had arrested one Jim Graham, col ored, who objected.to going to the lock up, and made'a break for liberty. The Marshal fired two shots at Jim, but he was too fast for the ballets and made good his escape. Business Brightning Up* L. D. Hill, general agent for Wheel wright A Co., at Brunswick, passed through this city Tuesday, enroute for Brunswick to resume business at the old stand. Mr, Hill says he has a sufficent supply of orders to start up all the saw. mills on the B. A W.^ll^ within the next few days. He also has an order for 300,000 crossties. Hill is a hustler and well known throughout Southeast Geor gia, and is a man that makes things hum. Mr. B. B. Gray, of Pine Bloom, and his brother George, from Leliaton, two of the most prominent saw mill men in this section, passed through the city this morning enroute to Brunswick to secure orders Jor lumber. They want to go to sawing and they will be found at it in a few days. No one seems to doubt for an in stant that Mr. Cleveland is boss now. Campmeeting season is here once more, and the average Methodist preach er is brushing up his clerical Prince Albert preparatory to taking his annual outing. These occasions are feast days indeed to these good men. They go up to these annual gatherings to have their ‘spiritual strength renewed,” and in ad dition to the spiritual part of it, the wiser man is well provided for. They feed well at these camp grounds and the bill ot fare is enough to tempt any man, Spare ribs and rice, chicken pie and oc casionally a fat ’possum and fresh sweet yam ’taters. Yum! Yuml »*. Speaking of campmeetings my friend Folsom thus delivers himself in the At lanta Journal: These campmeetings all remind u Wecan feast on tater pones, And departing leave behind us. Baskets full of chicken bones. * The people of Homerville are making preparation for the camp meeting there. A spacious tabernacle, with a seating capacity of nearrly or quite 1,000, was built there years ago, and the Clinch county folks gather there once a year to pay their vows and renew their allegi ance to the Great Giver of all good. Pity it is, that too many try to make the lit tle supply of religion they take on at these revivals last a whole year. Just as well try to make the chicken and rice hold out and support the temporal man for a year. * * * t am pleased to see that a movement is being set on foot by which we hope to have built at an early day a handsome brick school edifice—one that will be credit to this thriving city and the whole of South Georgia—by all means let’s have the academy. He is After the Dogs. Editors Herald: — I wish to ask our City Fathers a few questions, and as I cannot see them all personally, with your permission will ptopond them through the Herald, to-wit: There is an ordinance of the city, tax ing dogs and when the dogs are found by the police without the necessary badge, be is to be taken* up and made *wav with. Now it seems strange, with such a law that there should be so many worthless dogs roaming around, not only at the many residences, but out on the streets at all times day and night. Why don’t they enforce the law? Again, there is a State law, and I be- believe a city ordinance prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to miners. Now the question is, how do so many little eight and ten year old boys, and a little older both white and black, get the filthy stench producing cigarettes that decent people have to endure daily and hourly on the streets of our city? Again, a few days ago it came out as an order form our worthy mayor that everybody must clean up around their premises. The question here is how can the city make such an order as this and leave unnoticed as filthy a place as the ditch leading from the B. & W. crossing on Brunswick street to the canal? The water in this same ditch has stood there and become so stagnant and • green it is 1 filthy to think of. . Now, if some one will answer these simple enquriries they will throw a good deal of light on the situation and satisfy good many inquiries. Z. His Paper Was Read. Years ago when Henry Grady was struggling to bring the Rome Commer cial into front ranks, says the Rome (Ga.) Tribune, he called one day and asked the Rounsaville Brothers for an adver tisement. I. W. Rounsaville replied: ‘Why Grady, nobody reads your paper; it is no use to advertise in it. A happy thought suggested itself to Mr. Grady. He went to his office and wrote the following advertisemen, which appeared the next morning in the Com mercial : “Wanted, fifty cats. Liberal price for the same. Apply to the Roun saville Brothers.” Well the picture that presented itself at Rounsaville’s next morning beggars description. Boys of all ages and sizes—boys of all tints from the fair-haired youth to «he sable Ethi- ohean—barefoot boys ani ragged hoys, red-headed boys, freckled-faced boys— town hoys and country boys—boys from all of Floyd county blocked up the side walks, doorways and streets with hags full of cats—cats of every description, name and order—house cats,—yard cats —barn cats,—church cats—fat cats— lean cats—honest cats and thievish cats. Well to make a long story short, the Rounsavilles told Mr. Grady to reserve a column for their advertisement as long as his paper continued; and that was just what Grady wanted. The Blue Laws.

Remarkable re- aults have fol lowed our treat ment. hinny Down on Brunner, Dr.. Brunner is not adding anything to his reputation by the way he has treated Brunswick. If such a thing was possi ble, he should be ousted from his gov ernment position. But, maby, it is with him like it is with the republican office holder in this section of the country, he just simply can’t be bounced.—Albany Herald. The new Methodist church is near ing the finishing touches, and is one of the handsomest church building in the South Georgia conference.

Don’t blame him. * There are some people we wouldn’t be kin to if we had to, and Thomas E. is one of ’em. C. H. Bee. Their Helplessness. The helplessness of the colored race and their entire dependence upon the whites when trouble comes, was never more fully demonstrated than recently. First in the yellow fever scare in Bruns wick, and secondly after the terrible storm on the coast. Most of them were too poor to leave Brunswick and have h&d to be fed and taken care of by the whites. Their 'own race outside the city has done nothing whatever to re lieve them. On the coast it has been the same Way but worse. * Hundreds of those left alive would have perished from starvation and exposure but for the timely relief afforded by the whites. When trouble overtakes the negro he flocks as naturally to the white man for protection and safety as does the brood of chickens to the old lien. It is natur al that they should do so and ' it is right that we should protect and care for them. It is also proper and right that our colored friends should bear in mind at all times the relations between the races and so conduct themselves that when they need help it will be accorded promptly and willingly. It is said that two of the marked points in the charac ter of thfe negro is the lack of gratitude and the absence of malice. If such the case, we doubt if the absence of the last trait makes amends for the lack of the first. Instead of widening the branch between the two races, as some colored people seem determined 1 upon, (we* do not allude to the colored popu lation of Waycross) the colored man should seek by every means in v his power to bind the friendship of the white man and gain his confidence. It is their own salvation as a race, and the days to come many of them will find out that the words that we have spoken are the words of soberness and truth. Something’s wrong with Mr. Cleve land’s versatile health. It has re mained in the same excellent condi tion for full forty-eight hours.— Chicago Record. Off The Track. The appointment of Paul Trammell as Collector of Internal Revenue for Geor gia seems to have had a discouraging e£i feet on the democracy of Whitfield coun ty. The new Collector was a member of the Legislature from that county and in the recent election to fill the vacancy caused by his resignation the democratic candidate was defeated by a Populist The Enquirer-Sun thinks explanations in order. The powerful influence which secured Mr. Trammell’s appoint ment to one of the best offices in the gi^j of the Administration in this State ought to have been sufficient to keep his coun| ty in the democratic ranks. Our Colored Citizens. Take them altogether we do not be lieve a town in the South has a better or more desirable colored citizenship than Waycross. They are sober,»industrious and intelligent, and many of them have comfortable homfes and are prosperous. They have good schools and churches, and thought they live as a rule in com munities of their own, it is rarely the case that we hear of disturbances or troubles in their settlements. It is true that there is always a floating class of vagabonds here as elsewhere in all rail* road towns, but the resident population is the best we know of in the State. We have never seen any evidence on our streets of an inclination to be impu dent or insolent, and our ladies are secure night and day from the danger of insult at their hands. Such being the case we deem it our duty to give praise where it is due. With such men as Floyd Snelson, Styles Scarlett, E. M. Anderson, E. M. Moore, Quitman Granger, Ed. Banks and others we could mention, to teach them by precept and example, we have great confidence in the future progress and usefulness of the colored citizenship of Waycross. They have taken the lead in a very important move for their race and we bid them God speed. Valdosta in Ecstasy. Valdosta, Ga., Sept. 12.—The arte sian well was tested to-day.
