The Governor's Proclamation.
Governor Xortlien has issued the fol-
Lake Park, Ga., Sept. 18,180; , , ,
EDITORS IlBRAUi-Hea.se allow me I lowing proclamation to the people of
apace for a few lines for my Ware co.in-j Georgia, urging them to help Huns-
ty friends, who would, perhaps, be
pleased to learn something of this part
of the state.
I find sine3 taking, charge of the
school here, that the people are about
the same as those about Waresboro or
Beach—good, clever people, and I see' I
am still in the Wire Grass, Wire Grass?
Yes, but what a lovely country, naturally.
Land is level, but high and dry, and
dotted here and there with the prettiest
lakes under the sun, not excepting the
famous Tahoe lake, of California or
Geneva, of Switzerland. And -fish!
Why my friends, it would just make
those Satilla fishermen (who sometimes
sit on the banks of that meandering
stream all day long to, perhaps, catch
one little catfish) smack their lips with
anticipation to sec in the clear water of
some of these lakes so many and such
large bream swimming about. As to
* trout, they arc caught at night by troll-
Lake Park has twenty-two stores, four
saloons and one millinery shop. Good
order prevails, notwithstanding the
saloons. The coitftfco^’round about has
a prosperous set ofjElrmers—many of
those, good men an£g?ccellent farmers.
The Carters arc getting almost rich
raising long cotton.
My school opened up splendidly.
The building is large, new and capable
of seating 300 pupils. Have had to em
ploy two assistant teachers already.
Hope the good people of Waresboro
will succeed this year with a prosperous j
school. “Magisteb.” j

ray husband?” Doctor—“He will

Doctor—“Theyare-for you, madam.
Your husband needs rest.”—-Mercury.

September 16,1893
To Tiif. People of Georgia :
I am-just in receipt of a telegram
from Hon. Thomas W. Lamb, mayor, in
forming me of the continued spread of
the yellow fever at Brunswick. It is
now plainly evident that the fever will
become epidemic.
The general assembly has not pro
vided any fund upon which I can draw
for the reliof of this stricken city.
I appeal to the generous-hearted peo
ple of the state to organize boards of re
lief in their several communities for the
purpose of furnishing money and pro
visions to the destitute and suffering at
Brunswick.
I urgently beg that this matter be
taken up at once in order t’rat the
suffering people may be assured of our
sympathy and comforted by our con
tributions.
Until we have further notice of the
local organization at Brunswick, all
funds and provisions forwarded to-Hon.
Thomas W.* Lamb, mayor, will be proper
ly distributed.
W. J. XORTHEX,
Governor.
A Little Nonsense.
I called, her hand in marriage to
implore.
Quite fearful that my mission
would prove fruitless,
But, as her father met me at the
door,
It was not wholly bootless.—Truth.
The Downing Company Here.
The Downing Company with twenty
car-loads of groceries and heavy goods
arrived in AV ay cross from Tifton Satur
day morning. They are opening up to
day in the brick building recently occu
pied by W. P. Lee & Co., near the union
depot. The Downing Company is one
ot the largest concerns in the state, and
we welcome them to Waycross. It is to
be hoped that they will remain here
permanently..
Goes to the Fumigating Station.
* Mr. John Hogan has taken charge of
the fumigating station, at Wayncsville,
for a few days. Mr. Hogan has had ex
perience in this line before, and under
stands his duties. We wish him luck,
and a safe and speedy return.

He Owes the Difference. {
Last week one of the passengers
on the western train that was held
up by robbers panned out only $20
in silver coin. . v
“This all the kind of money you
got?” said the indignant train robber
“Don’t you know that these silver
dollars ain’t worth more’n GO cents
apiece? Do you call it honest to
pass these things off- on a perfect
stranger at par? I call it downright
robbery. I’ll take them this time,
however, bat I want you te under
stand that I consider you owe me the
difference.
Meeting of Turpentine Men.
. Tte turpentine operators of this section
are holding a meeting at the Phoenix
hotel in this city to-day. We learn that
quite a number are present. Their pro
ceedings will be published in these col
umns to-morrow.
The Ferris Wheel.
The great Ferris wheel in the Mid
way Plaisance at the Chicago Fair,
attracts more visitors than any other
feature of that interesting section of
the exposition. The proprietors of
the immense “merry-go-up” have
just issued a very elaborately golton
up souvenir, entitled “A Romance
of the Wheel” which tells in a very
pleasing manner of a trip around the
great revolving circle. No man, wo
man or child should leave the world’s
fair grounds without taking a whirl
in the wheel.
Insane.
The folio\ying from the Albany cor
respondent to the Savannah Morning.
News is sad news. Professor Fitzpat
rick is one of the brightest young men
in the state and one of the finest teach
ers,: When Prof. Zeno Q. Fitzpatrick
left Albany for Quitman he carried with
him the good will and high regard of a
great number of his former patrons.
Among these were Mr. J. T. Norris, of
Newton, who, in. order to give his son
the advantage of continued instruction
under Prof. Fitzpatrick, sent him oli".
Mr. H. A. Ledbetter also carried las son
last 'Sunday to enter Prof."Fitzpatrick’s
school. They called on Prof. Fitzpatrick
on their arrival, and theft’ surprise was
great when, on meeting that gentleman,
he evinced such unmistakable evidences
of insanity that the interview was cut
J short and instead of Mr. Ledbetter enter
ing liis boys there for school, he carried
them to Cuthbert. This will be painful
intelligence to hundreds of Prof. Fitz
patrick’s former friends and pupils in
various sections of the state, and it is
sincerely hoped that his malady can be
cured and he returned to usefulness.
Last fall \ was taken with a kind of
sumnicr'com plaint, accompanied with a
wonderful diarrhoea. Soon after my
wife’s sister, who lives with us, was ta
ken in the same wa\\ We* used almost
eyerything without benefit. Then I said
let us try Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
aqd Diarrhoea Remedy, which we did,
and that cured us right away. I think
much of it, as it did for me what it was
recommended to dp. John Hertzler,
