To be while we are in the enjoyment of perfect health, subject to the shafts of the grim monster, Death, is the lot of all men. Especially is this true of those who man the trains that do the business of our Railways. As far as man can see, even the in satiate Reaper, would spare those hasten ing to put the seal of marriage to the course of true love.- But this is always true. Only a few days ago departed brother J. H. Blount, left midgt to go to another part of our State, y»here a lovely woman awaited his coming that they might be made one. Without warning our brother was hurl ed from Uis scat, and in the fail he re ceived internal injuries that in a few days took him to that bourne from whence no traveler ever returns. He finished his journey, and the wo man that had plighted her troth to him in happier days made it good by giving her hand in marriage, though our broth- unable to stand while the words that made them husband and wife were spoken. We cannot call our departed brother back, nor bind the broken heart and life so sadly bereaved, but it is meet that we pay a tribute to his worth, and put on record our appreciation of his noble qualities. Therefore he it, Resolved: That in the death of our brother, J. H. Blount, we have lost one whoso devotion to duty made him a shining example of what our Order should be. The .Brunswick and Western Railway in whose employ he was, has lost an ployee that held its interests at heart. The world has lost one in wnomthe elements were so combined that all might see he was the embodiment of ail that made a man—and the wife who- fate was so recently joined to his has lost a companion that would have made her life as bright as her hope had painted it. Resolved: Further, that a copy of thes? “In Memoriam” resolutions be in scribed on a blank page of the record book of our Division, that a copy be en grossed by our worthy secretary and for warded to the bereaved wife, and that the Waycross Herald be requested to publish same. ...

Mr. C. 1 dropped i delighted Harry Roberts, who has been living with his uncle, Mr. II. \V. Reed, left last night to join his parents in Macon. The meetings at the Methodist church will close after to-night for this week. It is probable they may be resumed agaiu next week. Rev. Mr. Taylor, of Florida, preached a very interesting sermon at the Baptist church last night and will preach again to night. Mrs. I, J. Brown and family, who have been visiting friends in North Gorgia, re turned to their home at Nichols, Ga., this afternoon. Come out to hear Mr. Taylor at the Bap tist church and bring your family, to-night but leave your dogs at home to take care of | the premises. Quite a party met the five o’clock train this morning to welcome Miss Gussic Chos- taine who will visit her sister Mrs. J. Knox for a few days. MissGnssie always was a favorite in Waycross as well as elsewhere. Waycross want’s its understood that she is not bidding for the Corbctt-Mitchell light- This is natural. What more could Way- cross desire, with so many Brunswick re fugees within her hospitable gates?—Bruns wick Times-Advertiser. Miss Maggie O’Brien, who has been the guest of Mrs. H. S. DuBose, for some time returned to her home in Charleston, S,. C., this morning. Miss Maggie has made many warm friends here who regret her departure and hope she may favor Waycross with another visit.

The outlook for the slugging match in Florida is not very bright. The governor says he will be “on to their racket." An electrical engineer wants to throw advertisements by electric light against the falling sheet of water at Niagara Falls. ing punishment fov their first offense against the law should be herded with hardened criminals and be re leased to become permanent parasites on society.

She refused to bear witness against her husband and the case went by the board. There seems to be a disposition on the part of Georgia’s Legislature to give the State the kangaroo ballot.

The third party in the south is much weaker than it was last year, and in the west it is badly demoral ized. The truth of the matter is, most of the populist are good demo crats who have been temporarily mis led, and when they see that their old party is fulfilling, its pledges, they will return to it. They will be wel comed. A few democratic newspapers are still trying to play second fiddle to the republican press, but they are growing fewer and farther between every day. Frank Moore, a noted burglar, has been sentenced in St. Louis to ninety- nine years iu the penitentiary. This is the first time that a conviction has been bad in St. Louis under what is known as the babitnal criminal act, an old Missouri statute which had practically been forgotten.
