Small manufacturing enterprises is what Waycross needs. If you huv'nt been to the fair its almost too late to go now. j Rumors of a number of new business en terprises for Waycross have reached us. “Best goods for the least money” at Frank C. Gwens’ the landing Clothier, o 28 21 w. There is plenty of employment for th person who wants to make others happy. Women are either enemies or friends to each other. They have no nentral grounds. Sweet potatoes arc selling at 75 cents per bushel in Waycross and ’possum Is clean out of right. Mrs. Ratliff has the finest turnip patch in the city, and ihe turnips are finely flavored. We’ve tried ’em. Wc sincerely hope there will be no wrang ling over the city election which comes off in January next. 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. Owens sold 0 suits in Appling county and 7 in Charlton county last week. This shows that “the Leading Clothier” has the best goods at lowest prices and is doing^the business. o 28 2t-w. Mr. W.'A. McNeil’s official duties as post master will not permit his being a candi date for re-election as alderman. Select another good man iu his place and let the board stand as it Is. We cannot better it. What bos become of the band brother Gerber? We want to hear you toot. The Holiness meetings at the new Meth odist church are being largely attended. The latest arrival in the city is a young lady at the residence of Charley Andrews. All classes and denominations are attend ing the Holiness meetings, now progressing In this city. Never go to a man for advice who never changes his mind, neither seek him who changes with every wind. We don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings, but we think the little dogs ought to be kept away from the church meetings. Asa reward for courtesies recently ex tended a stranger in distress, Mr. W. W. Sharpe now sports the finest hat in town. It is worth going to the Holiness meeting josttosee Walter Lott’s, happy face. If a man ever showed his religion in his face it is Walter Lott. The Albany Herald says that Dink Mel vin, the Waycross fisherman, who recently' 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. Attention Jurors mud Witnesses! I want to sell you Clothing, Shoes and Hats, and will make Special prices Court week, and will take script same as cash. " Frank C. Owens, o 28 2t w. The Leading Clothier. Owens Block, Waycross, Oa. The Columbus Enquirer-Sun says, “No check to the ravages of the fever.” Well, hardly. We make ours payable to iBc sufferers.—Ma con News. 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 at which one sews at nigbt,spread with a light cover, or if it must have a dark one a sheet of white paper may be need over it. A needle can be threaded with much greater ease if held over a white surfaced 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 position with the Westinghonse Elec 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. - The estate of E. H. Crawley is offer ing some rare bargains. lOtdAw Hon. Leon Wilson. Hon. Leon Wilson, Representative of Ware county, left last night for Atlanta. Mr. Wilson is one of the ablest men in the Georgia Legislature and will always be found in his place battling for the best interests of the Empire State. Ware is well represented in the Georgia Legisla ture. | furniture of all discriptions that they are J now dosing out. Call on them. 1 lOtdAur 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.

Madam Grundy Says. That the woman who possesses suf ficient religion to keep her from pouting with her husband occasionally is very near perfect. That you can’t be at peace with God and remain on terms of intimacy with the devil. That if you don’t go to the Holiness! meeting to be benefited yon had best stay at home. 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. Church Notice. Services will be held at Grace Episco pal church next Sunday morning and evening at the usual hours. Messrs. French and Branham will assist the regular choir. Music will be £ne, every body invited to attend. The estate of E. H. Crawley is now selling out their entire stock at cost. lOtd&w 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 lumber. Mr. Freeman, the sexton, says he will pay a liberal reward for proof to convict the man ruder. The patience of the people gave oat jast as the Senate came to terms. The McMillan House. The McMillan House, at Blackshear, is one of the most comfortable and home like hotels in South Georgia. ..Hr. Mc Millan knows how to look after the comfort of his guests. The fare is ex cellent and his rooms are splendid. When you visit Blackshear, don’t forget friend Me.

It is not true, as has been published, that Dink Melvin the fisherman or his children are suffering for something to eat. He is making from three to five dollars per day selling fish in Waycross. He fives in a comfortable house and be sides he now has on baud a fine stock of soft-shell turtles, which he is offering cheap. During the past two days Mr. Melvin has sold ten dollars worth of fish. This is the right time of the moon for fish. There is no danger of Melvin or his family starring. Yellow Fever Notes. The epidemic at Brunswick has de veloped some brave self-sacrificing men* They will be remembered. An entertainment at Park opera house on the 31st inst. for the Brunswick suf ferers. The microbes have not been able to stop Brother Wrench’s paper, though they cause it to be veiy much belated sometimes. Dr. Booth, of Shreveport, La., has gone to Brunswick. The total amount of contributions for Brunswick up to the 20th inst, amounted to $20,473,68. There were no new cases at Jesup yesterday and the six under treatment were progressing finely. Burr Winston, who recently died of yellow fever in Brunswick, was the Old est Odd fellow in the State. Mr. H. B. Butler -and Miss Sallie Davis, daughter of Dr. L. B. Davis, were married in Brunswick last Wednes day night A bright baby girl has come to $he home of Mr. T. B. Fergerson in Bruns wick. Mrs. Isaacs, a refugee from Brunswick yrho left about one month ago, died at Sterling Station on Saturday. It is thought that the epidemic at Jesup is over. The trained nurses who have been in Jesup, have all been sent back to Bruns wick The ladies of Tennille raised $70 - for the Brunswick sufferers night before last at an ice cream testival.
