our lately deceased brother E. II. Craw
ley, submit the following:
Our brother was born and reared in
Kentncky and came to Georgia when a
young man located at Waresboro where
he was employed in mercantile pursuits
at tbe outbreak of the war between the
states.
He early enlisted in the confederate
service, serving with great gallantry and
marked devotion tbe southern cause to
its closer leaving the armory with the
rank of captain and bearing upon his
person honorable sears as badges of his
bravery.
Returning to Waresboro be again en
gaged In the mercantile business which
he continued there until his removal to
Waycross some years Subsequently where
the same was resumed and continued
until his death.
Our brother was repeatedly honored
with positions of trust by his fellow cit
izens, holding the office of clerk'of Ware
Superior Court, county treasurer,member
of the Board ot Education and Aider-
man of our city.
In every pcsition held by him whether
in the business world or public service,
in war or in peace, his conduct was
marked by the most absolute integrity.
Brother Crawley married Martha Mc
Donald the daughter of our esteemed
fellow citizen, Col. Wm. A. McDonald,
and she together with eight promising
children survive him.
By good management and prudent fru
gality quite a competency was amassed

has left behind may not be dependent.
In all the relations of the social life
our brother was respected and beloved.
As a Mason his career was long and
honorable, his initiation and membership
being first with the lodge at Waresboro
and afterwards removed here.
By his upright demeanor and generous,
humane conduct towards others, he ex
emplified the great principles of our an
cient order.
Death came to our brother in the fifty-
third year of his life after a brief illness
and we who knew his heart, aims and
purposes, and sincere belief in Christi

Madam Grandy Says
That Waycross continues right side
up. Yon can tell that by looking at the
water tower.
That if you keep compauy with cats
and dogs you must expect fleas.
That the diamonds recently purchased
in Chigago by a neighboring lady would
seem to indicate that some ot her yicb
kin had died or that her husband had
captured a prize for an essay.
That the devil and the editor are very
popular and industrious but they can’t
please everybody.
That the president may think he has
a hard time now tiying to manage Con
gress, but just wait ’till those two girl
babies grow up.

A Horrible Suicide.
Last Tuesday evening near sunset
by our brother, so that thp loved ones he \Vm. Ragens, an employe at Maulden’s
Mill, walked* up beside the large driving
wheel and called to the fireman, whose
post.was near by, bade him good bye.
Seeing that he was not understood be
again called the fireman and said, “you
didn’t understand, me, I wanted to tell
you good-bye,” and then threw himself
upon the large driving belt and was in
stantly crushed to a pulp by the pondo-
rous wheel. Ragens came here from
Jacksonville about a mouth ago. He
leaves a wife who has the sympathy of
our people in her distress.—Jasper (Fla.)

Tough Experience of Two Citizens.
Two prominent citizens surrounded by
the gloom of approaching nightfall in
the river swamp, Wednesday evening, of
last week were mystified, to say the least
of it, by events which had the appear
ance of being thrust upou them by su
pernatural agencies. These gentlemen
went fishing ta the river. The Doctor
took extra precaution in selecting a suit
able place to tic “old gray,” while Mr
Crawford beat the bushes for bait.' All
things being ready they took to the river
aud by the time the last rays of the set
ting sun had ceased to shed its beams on
the ripling waters, they departed for the
old gray and the buggy, snpposed to be
securely attached to a swinging limb
near the pavillion in Johnsons Park.
Pretty soon the rumbling of wheels and
the sound of whip being applied to tbe
horse greeted their ears. Alarmed by
the prospects as the darkness grew thick,
a consultation was agreed upon and Mr.
Crawford deposited the string offish well
in on the floor of the pavillion and while
arrangements were being made to light a
torch, a whizing sound over head ac
companied by the hooting of a lonely
owl aud the dull thud of falling missels
to the gnund, reminded our friends that
something was wrong. Pretty soon the
heavy tread of some approaching mon
sters was heard, and from the savage
deep toned growl occasionally emitted it
was at once supposed to be a bear.
Arming for a defensive flight, Mr. Craw
ford seized a ten foot length of the top
of a fallen tree, and directed the Doctor
to get the fish, hut alas! they had been
rpirited away. The distance to Walter-^
town was covered in three minutes and a
special train secured to bring them to
Waycross.
By way of parenthiscs we would add
that interested friends can probably
find tbe remnants of the jug under the
southeast corner of the pavillion.'
Last fail I was taken with a kind of
summer complaint, accompanied with a
wonderful diarrhoea. Soon after my
wife’s sister, who lives with us, was ta
ken in the same way. We used almost
eyerything without benefit. Then I said
let us try Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
j and Diarrhoea Rem^Jy, which we did,
and that cured us right away. I think
much of it, as it did for me what it was
recommended to do. John Hertzler,

To Snppress Lynchings.
The negroes will hold a convention in
Macon, Thursday the 17tli, to devise
some means to suppress lynching. The
motive is a laudable one. The effort
will find hearty commendation.
The hegroes at the head of this move
ment have a broad field, and they can
accomplish very much if they start right
The remedy for lynchings lie with the
negro, and it is entirely proper that the
negro should apply it The first thing
for the convention to do is try to sup
press rapes and cold blooded murders
by members of the race it seeks, princi
pally to protect Herein lies the root of
the evil complained of.
The convention should then devise
some plan of preventing members of the
race assembled from standing as stum
bling blocks in the path of justice by be
coming paid witnesses and tools for un
scrupulous clients and sharp lawyers.
They should be taught the virtue of
truth and the sacredness of oath. This
would greatly facilitate the end . sought
The convention should exhort its peo
ple to obey the law that the price of
women’s virtue is death, and that robber-
ry is a violation of law and when accom
panied by muder a death crime;
The negroes themselves are the mate
rial the convention must work
Herein lies the evil, likewise the rem
edy.—Macon Press.
The above from the Macon Press
covers the ground very folly. Our col
ored people have it in their power to
suppress lynchings, and if' they fail to
apply the remedy no one is to blame
but themselves. Protestations and reso
lutions condemning lynchings for rape
but add fuel to the flame. The unwrit
ten law, tho unwelcome, is the dernier
resort which southern manhood has been
compelled to adopt in seif defence and
to protect all that makes: life worth liv
ing, the virtue of ist women.
The unwritten law will stand until
the necessity for it no longer exists, and
the combined armies of the world cannot
prevent its enforcement.
We are proud to Say that the move
ment referred to by the Press, originated
in Waycross where we have an excellent
colored citizenship. The Herald has
freely given its encouragement, its col
umns and the personal advice of its
editors, to aid the praiseworthy object
The leading colored men of the land arc
the doctors in this case, and they under
stand it fully. Let us lend them our
aid and bid them God speed ' in their
noble undertaking.

There is an idea on the outside, as we
gather from newspapers that Brunswick
people are wrangling over something or
other. This is untrue. There never
was more perfect harmony and co-opera

met an issue that threatened bloodshed
with skill and ingenuity.

—all the peculiar troubles that beset a
woman. The only guaranteed remedy
for them is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scription. For women suffering from
any chronic “female complain*’ or
weakness; for women who are run down
and overworked; for women expecting
to become mothers, and for mothers who
are nursing and exhausted; at the change
from girlhood to womanhood; and later,
at the critical “change of life”—it is a
medicine that safely and certainly builds
up, strengthens, regulates and cures.

What you are sure of, if you use Dr.
Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, is either a per

medicine promise to pay you the money,
