Waycross is the beat dressed town in the
State of its size. Our clothing stores would
do credit to any city.
It is said that the cropse in Ware county is
better than for years past. Ware is rapidly
coming to the front as a farming county.
The Ware county farmers must be hold
ing their cotton for a higher price. Well
Ware county farmers are able to hold their
cotton if anybody else is.
The wonderful healthy condition of Way-
cross during the past season^ has attracted
the attention of everybody. No groans are
heard here except from the doctors.
The Herald is rcfiising an average of about
ten applications doily from the patent med
icine fratemtty for advertising space. We
are saving our space for the merchants of
Waycross.

The Albany Herald says that Dink Mel

walked from Alabama to this place, is now
called Walker. Well, ain’t he a walker.
The good old familiar hymns which are
being sung* nightly at the Methodist church
make us think of old times, and the old
time religion. It was probably no better
than the new time religion, but at anyrate
we revere its memory.
A runaway horse belonging to a colored
man, created some excitement on Plant
avenue last night about supper time. He
was a ticklish pony and could not bear to
have the wagon nm on -his haunces. But
for Miller’s restaurant lie would have gone
into the canal.
We call attention to advertisement of
Frank C. Owens in this Issue. He is the
only man from Waycross who has been to
New York and the Northern markets this
season. He found the manufacturers anx
ious to sell, and with the “Spot Cash” he
bought the largest stock of Clothing, Shoes
Hats, etc., ever brought to Waycross, at
prices that no competition this side of Balti
more can reach. When in Waycross it will
pay you to call on him. o 2821 w.

A Fight Over a Cofyse*
Battle, Creek, Mich., Oct 24.—
A’ sad mistake has occurred m the iden
tification of the bodies taken from the
wreck here. Dr. Sweetland, of Ed-
wardsbnrg, Mich., editor of the Argus,
identified the body of one of the victims
as that of his^sister, Mrs. Evylin Aldrich,
of Edwardsburg and the body was ship
ped to that place last night The cor
oner has just received a dispatch from
J. D. Wood, of Cato, New York, stating
that the body is that of his wife- She
was identified by her clothing. Mr.
Wood asserts that he has positive proof
that the body is that of his wife and Dr.
Sweetland is just as positive that they
his sister’s remains. Coroner
Gillette has telegraphed the circum
stances to Dr. Sweetland and Sheriff
King has been sent to bring the remains
back. It is feared that legal proceed
ings will have to be instituted before the
body can be recovered.
Paragraphs For Women.
Edison is credited with saying that
women “have more sense about ma
chinery in one minute than men have
in a whole lifetime,” and proves the
sincerity of his faith by keeping 200
women on his payroll.
It is a suggestion to have the table

It is a curious fact that while a
French womaa may become a doctor,
a lawyer, a member of the. board of
education, she cannot witness a legal
document, possess her own earnings
if married, or boy or sell property
without her husband’s consent.
Miss Berth* Lamme, of Spring-
field, O., was the first woman in the
world to receive the degree of electrical
engineer. She led her class all
through the course in tbeOhio State*
University, and has now accepted a

tric Company at Pittsburg.
Odum Convicted.
The negro Walter Odum, who burned
the trustle on the S. F. & W. It. R. near
Boston about the middle of July, was
tried and convicted in Ehomas superior
court on Monday last, and sentenced to
life-time servitude in the coal mines.
Odum narrowly missed hanging. He
had confessed after he found. the chain
of evidence against him was about com
plete. This case has demonstrated the
fact most fully that the S. F. A W. peo
ple are up to snuff in the matter of de
tective work. The person who thinks
he can injure the property of this com
pany with impunity is a long ways from
home. The management is ready to
spend thousands of dollars at any time
to convict offenders and protect the lives
of its patrons. With ample means and
a fine detective force, no stone is left un
turned to bring the guilty to justice and
they rarely ever fail. Vicious persons
will find it profitable to hunt other fields
not connected with the S. F. A W. for
the commission of their devilment
“Orange Blossom,” the common-sense
Female Remedy, is sold and recommend
ed by all druggists.
The Advertising
Of Hood’s Sarsaparilla is always within
the bounds of reason because it is true;
it always appeals to the sober, common
sense of thinking people because it is
true; and it is always fully substantiated
by endorsements which, in the financial
world would be accepted without a mo
ment's hesitation.
Hood’s Pills cure liver ills, constipa
tion, biliousness, jaundice, sick headache,
indigestion. -

Sam Jones and the Senate.
The Rev.Sam Jones has taken a whack
at the United States "Senate. Sam says:
“I read with interest Mr. Cleveland’s
letter to Governor Xorthen. It seems
he has ceased to argue and begun to
pray. It is time to dissolve Parliament.
I see some of the senators have gone
home drunk. Some men can serve their
country better dead-drunk than when
they are sober. If I had a pafck of
hounds that run a fox like the United
States Senate chases at legislation, I
would lose interest in fox and go dog
hunting,—and go home dogless. I had
rather have no dogs than some kind of
. Why don’t they do something ?
A hundred hens cackling in the bam
lot and not an egg laid. I would eat
hens and quit eating eggs for the bal
ance of the year. Let that august body
do something or resign, and let us send
somebody to Washington who will act—
who will repeal or confirm. They can’t
dicker and piddle and vaporize much
longer without disaster to the country,
and will make them smoke for their con
duct when they get home and want en
dorsement by re-election.”
Henry Spencer to Hang.
Thomasvillk, Ga., Oct 24,—Henry
Spencer,' the negro desperado who ter
rorized a portion of this county for sev-
eial weeks this summer before being
captured, was tried in the Superior
Couft to-day for the murder of his
brother-in-law, Moses Green, on the 28th
of last June. The trial was a long and
interesting one. He was ably defended,
but the juiy was out only a short time
before bringing in a verdict of guilty.
He murdered Green in a cold-blooded
manner, and it is the sense of every one
that he deserves his fate. " ~ ~ -

The Saltan’s Gift Ketarned.
Gcnerel Lew Wallace, author of “Ben
Harr,” tells this story on himself:
When I first went as minister to Tur
key, a very funny thing happened to me.
One of the first and most important du
ties 1 had to fulfill was a call of state
which I had to pay to the sultan.
As first impressions are most lasting,
I took particular pains to greatly im
press the Saltan. Great was my aston
ishment, shortly after arriving at home,
to receive a visit from one of the great
functionaries of the Sultan’s court, bear
ing a token of the highest esteem in the
shape of an elegant present It was a
beautiful young lady from his own
harem.
You may imagine, if you can, the per-
dicament I was in. If I should refuse
to accept the present it might seriously
offend his Majesty, and cause serious in
ternational complications. On the other
hand, if I accepted the beauty, how
could I ever explain to the American
people? And there was Mrs. Wallace!
The short of it was that I sent her
back, and next day I succeeded in ex
plaining to the Sultan the position it
would place me in before my people at
home, and convinced him that it would
not be wise for me to accept such a gift.
He eventually replaced the present with
one much more satisfactory—to Mrs.
Wallace, at least.
Not Brewer But Jordan.
The negro desperado captured near
Macon recently is not Brewer but Henry
Jordan who committed criminal assault
on Mr. S. Jarrell inCrawford county about
, two years ago. They arc sure to be
caught sooner or later, generally sooner.
ANOTHER MURDER AT BRUNSWICK. I
William Jelow, Crazed with Whiskey,
Shoots Salford Curry.
In a low barroom, in Brunswick last
night, Wm. Jelow, a roustabout, shot and
killed Raiford Curry, a one-legged and
peaceable man. Jelow went into the
bar and called for a drink, the bar
tender, Frank Scott, refused to hand it
out, teling Jelow that he had enough.
Jelow commenced cursing and draw
ing a pistol fired at Scott, the ball going
into the ceilling. Curry was standing
peaceably by and as Jelow backed out
of the bar he shot Curry twice killing
him instantly.
The murdered man fell with his
crutches crossed upon him as he lay in
death.
With an oath the murderer sprang
from the room and fled. He was subse
quently captured and is now behind the
bars. In jail, Jelow stated that he did
not intend to kill Carey, but was shoot-
ing at Olsen, an attendant.
To the. horrors of the epidemic in
Brunswick, three murders have been ad
ded, and whiskey is the cause of them
all. With the departure of yellow fever,
Brunswick should abolish, her whiskey
dens. The same barroom was the scene
of one of the other recent murders.
Brunswick can never hope to prosper
with a multitude of whisky hells in her
midst. 1
Whiskey is the worst curse that af
flicts humanity. It causes more deaths
and sufferings than war, pestilence and
famine.
What a temperance lecture is present
ed by this late Brunswick tragedy. The
irriter wculd not again live in a whiskey
town if the streets were paved with gold.

SUPERIOR. COURT IN PIERCE.
An Adjourned Term In December.
Superior court convened in Black-
sbear last Monday at 10 o’clock, a. in.
Hon. J. L. Sweat on the bench. The
Judge’s charge to the grand jury was ex
haustive on tire lines of admonition and
strict performance of all duties, as
citizens and attachees of the court which
pertain to the advancement and main-
tainancc of good government Before
dismissing the grand juiy, the impor
tance of immediate action on jail cases,
and such other Investigations as seemed
to require prompt attention, was urged
owing to the prevalence of a yellow fever
epidemic in some portions of the coun
try,\-ijich prevented the attendance of
some counsel interested in' the trial of
cases before the court the Judge ex-
pressed an opinion that an adjourned
term would be necessary. During the
three days Court was .in session, several,
cases were disposed of. The jail ’was"
cleared by Wednesday evening and the
court took a recess until the (list Monday
in December.
A Graveyard Thief.
Night before last some miserable thief
stole the well-bucket from the well in
Lott Cemetery, and also a quantity of

he will pay a liberal reward for proof to

It is not true, as has been published,
that Dink Melvin the fisherman or his

He fives in a comfortable house and be
