Farewell, old wooden church, farewell! In thy decadence but a wraith Of memories that gave thy spell. Old fortress of the Christian faith; Tbongh men may raise a fane on high ' Of artists’ f nest warp and woof, A blessing from the sunlit skv Still falleth on thine humble roof! The echoes of past anthems swell With many a whispered, con trite prayer; Bnt never shall a holier gleam Pierce those old windows, mellow-hued. Titan those that woke the wondrous dream Of souls with new-born joy endued! Full many a heartache there found halm For all the woes of human kind. And in thy sanctuary’s calm Were opened eyes by sin grown blind! Farewell, thou trmple tottering, farewell! Of thy true heatred builders few Are left in these new times to tell How they built better than they knew; But every beam and rafter bring, , With every old foniulation sod. Fond memories to their hearts and siYTg The praises of the living God! Farewell, thou blessed heritage, farewell! "Tis thus thy congregation willed, - Thy triumph is thy parting,knell From hearts to overflowing filled God’s benediction in this last adieu; And may it reach Time’s farthest shore Till angels in the eternal blue Ring out the strain forevermore!

A suspicious case of sickness is being watched at Eastman. They Arc Dependent. Two-thirds, at least, of Brunswick’s large colored* population has remained in the city and are almost entirely de pendent upon charity for support. -Their own race outside of the city is doing nothing for them and, as is always the , case when trouble comes, thev have been It is said that only about one hundred j charge of by the whites , The people have left Jesup. i same state of affairs exists on the Sea An inspector has been placed on the i Islands of the Atlantic coast which were Waycross Air Line R. R. ' recently storm swept. Never in tlie his- r, . . ! tory of the country has the utter help- Griran sent a car-load of provisumson Mail Shot atTlflon. We learn that a shooting scrape took place at Tifton on Saturday afternoon last. Mr. George Rickerson shot and dangerously wounded a negro, name un known. We are not in possession of the particulars of the shooting but learn that the negro was charged with stealing. No Yellow Fever at Argyle. Surgeon Carter went to Argyle yester day and made a thorough investigation of the reported sickness near that place. Me reports it malarial fever. The Latest By Uelcgrapli from Jesup, Jesup, Ga. Oct. 12, 3:30 p. in. Special to the Herald. No new cases' here to-day. All the patients doing well and recovering rap idly. The Citizens will ask to have Dr. Lincoln recalled as his longer presence here is unnecessary. Undertakers* goods at W. R. Mcln- to-h & Co/s - tf Brunswick on the 9th inst. Business is at a stand still in Jesup, aud Dr. Lincoln needs help. Rations are getting short at Brunswick, but the fishing is improving. The Jesup Sentinel lias suspended publication during the epidemic. Dr. Davis is censured for reporting cases of yellow fever as malaria. Dr. R. E. S. Burford is reported as very much improve!. His case was a light one. Nothiug would please the Brunswick people better than to see the thermometer, go down. Two new cases were reported at Jesup yesterday. J. H. Williams and a child of tlie Ogdens. The Brunswick Times-Advertiser docs not reach us until three or four days after publication. t Over 1,800 people had to be fed by charity in Brunswick yesterday. 3Iosfc of them are negroes. Postmaster Brown, at Brunswick, has been taken siek, but it is not thought that he has yellow fever. ..The situation in Brunswick is one of indescribable gloom, and it is feared that (he worst is yet to come. Surgeon Murray has. issued an order prohibiting public meetings nnd gatlur- at hotels, eating houses, etc., in Brunswick. Surgeon General Wyman has secured the use-outlieJ. revenue cutter George S. Bqutwell *o aid in preventing, refugees from mniupg up along the coast. Surgeon Nygegger, of * the r United States Marine hospital service, arrived in Waycross yesterday, and will assist Surgeon Carter in the work of inspection. The negro contingent of the police foree is in splendid working order, and is giving valuable assistance to Chief Beach in preserving order and protecting property. We see that the guns of the Light Horse Guards have been ordered to Camp Detention, by Col. Gordon. Wonder if they really intend tor shoot anybody.— Jimes-Adverti *er. Yellow Jack is catching them right aud left in Brunswick, but in a large majority of cases medical science and proper treatment has got the best of the insidious foe. The Times-Advertiser of the 10th inst. says: “Rumors were circulating yester day that there were two cases of small pox at the quarantine Ration. They created some excitement about the city. Hearing the report, Surgeon Murray went to quarantine yesterday and made an investigation. He pronounces the rumor an unwarranted fabrication, Brunswick has yellow fever, and that is enough for any town.” The Brunswick Times-Advertiser of the 6th, inst says:. “It is difficult to imagine a case of wretchedness more terrible than that which has overwhelmed this town, an£ we hope it will deeply im press the hearts and consciences of all our readers. Whatever is done should be done instantly. Many a life might be saved if food, medicine, and attend ance could be promptly and systemati cally furnished/* A Savannah special dated the 7tb, says the revenue cutter Boutwell left yes terday afternoon for Ossabaw Island to intercept parties of Brunswick refugees reported to be moving along the coast in boats. A party of these refugees is re ported to be encamped on Ossabaw Is land, where they have spent several days and It is reported that others are on*their way to join them. And thus it would seem that the poor Brunswick relugees are being hunted like wild animals. We pity them. New York, Oct. 10.—Help for Brunswick, Ga., -is hurrying southward to-day. A relief train of six cars of sup plies lor the fever stricken town left Jer sey City .to-day and will reach its desti nation m less th&ri three days. lessness of the negro been more fully demonstrated than at present. The money being raised for tlie Brunswick sufferers is principally for the purpose of sustaining and earing for her eolored cit izenship, the number of white depend ents being comparatively small. It is a duty however, which we owe humanity and it is a duty we are performing with out question. Our wives are soliciting alms and our girls are getting up enter tainments and devising every posible means to raise money for the relief of the starving negroes in the laud. We ap peal to every intelligent eolored man and ask, can you forget these things ? It lias been said that the negro is devoid of gratitude. We do not believe it. The lesson now being taught will be remem bered,and the bread now being cast upon the waters will be returned after many days. If it turns out otherwise, our col ored brother does not deserve to be en titled to citizenship. An Elopement. Mr. Allio Drysdie and Miss Georgia Haddock were married at the Methodist parsonage in this city last flight, Rev. Geo. W. Mathews officiating. The youug couple were runaways from Jacksonville, and were guests at the Phoenix hotel last night. The bride returned to Jack sonville this morning, to make fair weather perhaps,- and the groom is still in the city. The Herald, though a stranger, tenders congratulations, and hopes the yonng couple may soon be re united, that parents may be reconciled and that peace and harmony may prevail with them in the years to come. Mr. Haines’ Donation. The fare on the train which will run Voiri Waynesville to W aycross to- niorrow afternoon, tor the purpose of bringing persons to the entertainment for the benefit of Brunswick, is a donation front General Manager'Geo. W. Haines. Pas- -sengers will only be required to pay 50 cents for a ticket which admits hem to tbe concert. The B. & W. has done all in its power for the Brunswick suffer ers, and this last liberal contribution of 3Ir. Haines will be fully appreciated by the friends of Brunswick eveywhere. The Vigilant won again yesterday and the cup is ours. The reports that Mr. Cleveland is not a democrat, lack confirmation. The southern coast has been terri bly stricken with storm and pestilence this season. If the Senate could be induced to adjourn without passing the salary bill—bnt hold, they have already done it.
