Madam Grundy Says
That if you will quarrel, make as
much noise as possible, then people will
think you are right.
That the air is often full of rumors
and rumors are generally full of air.
That the most tiresome thing in the
orld is too much rest.
That we pay the highest rate of in
terest on borrowed trouble.
That if yon wantyour wife to believe
you are a genius, convert her before you
are married. You can’t do it after
wards.
That it is hardly fair to render a
verdict before hearing the evidence of
the witnesses.
That she candidly thinks there are
more dogs to the square-inch in Way-
cross, than any other town.
That she dreamed last night somebody
had seut her a Thanksgiving turkey, and
she hears that Waycross dreams come
true.
That it is the way of the world, when
you are doing your best for someone to
say you are doing your worst
The Mains Have Been Flashed.
The water mains throughout the city
have been flushed out, the water hereto
fore supplied by the Satilla Manufactur
ing Co. has all passed away and the
large tank and all the mains are now
filled with pure artesian water. It is
understood that there is no better or
healthier water in the state than oura
This is the most important move ever
made in the advancement of Waycross.
Our people should now put in their
orders for water connections. Your fu
ture health may depend upon it, and you
should patronize the water-works. Call
on Mr. Bird for your application blanks,
What About Insurance?
Now that the water-works of the city
are complete, our supply of water
abundant, and our authorities having
become satisfied of the efficiency of our
fire department, what about insurance ?
Is it not about time to get the insurance
men together and have a test and a
survey, with a view to lowering the
rates.
The water-works have cost the city
the neighborhood of forty thousand
dollars, and it occur? to us that the tax
payers should begin to reap the benefit
of a complete success at as early a day
as possible. We are informed that the
insurance men of the city are only wait
ing for a move on the part of the city
authorities, and we suggest that the
move be made as soon as possible.
If our water-works and our file de
partment lessen the chances of fire, and
they certainly do, we are entitled to
redaction of insurance rates. Our
citizens need the reduction and if en
titled to it should have it without delay.
justice might be done, and he the said
Dr. Brunner having preemptorily refused
so to do.
Therefore, be it resolved_by the city
council, in council assembled, that we
hold the said Dr. W. F. Brunner per
sonally responsible for circulating lalss
rumors relative to the health of the
dty of Waycross, and that we do with
indignation condemn his efforts to govern
the section of the country outside of Sa
vannah, and'demand that he shall con
fine himself to those narrow limits.
By order of the council.

Ketospectivc and Prospective.
The Herald under its present man
agement has recently commenced a
new year, and after a short retrospective
review of our editorial work for the past
twelve months, the editors have about
come to the conclusion that they have
done the best they could for their read
ers, and when a fellow does his best
what more can be asked ? No man, es
pecially and editor, can hope or expect
get through life without criticism,
and to have cpinions of your own, means
opposition and perhaps enmities. A
clear conscience however is what we
should strive for, and in this respect we
feel that we are tolerable well equipped
so far as our editorial duties are con
cerned. We have advocated Christianity,
morality and temperance to the best of
our ability. We have tried to preach
straight unadulterated democracy, and
while so doing have endeavored to avoid
giving unnecessary offense to those who
differed from ns. With our strength we
have sought to sustain the right and
condemn the wrong. What we could,
we have done for the upbuilding ot Way-
cfoss and the furtherance of her legiti
mate enterprises. We propose to stay in
the line we have mapped out and what
lack in ability we hope to make up
in zeal. Our desire is to give our read
ers a clean democratic sheet, devoid of
personalities and devoted, in the future
as it has been in the past, to the further
ance of cliristianity, morality, temperance
and the upbuilding of our beautiful and
thriving city and this entire section of the
empire state of the south. We only ask
that patronage and support to which
our merits entitle us and which our en
terprising community should accord us.

Can’t Fight in Florida.
Tallahassef, Fla., Novr 19.-—Gov.
Mitchell has returned from an eight-
day outing on the gulf. Regarding the
Mitchell-Corbett fight he says: “I had
hoped and believed my instructions to
the sheriff of Duval county to prevent
the fight in Jacksonville was sufficent
warning to cause the parties promoting
the fight to desist, but if my information
is correct, it seems I was mistaken,
appears that the parties interested in the
fight are inclined to defy the state au
thorities to the end that Florida shall he
disgraced by a prize fight. But this
shall not be done until every power of
the state is exhausted in efiorts to pre
vent it, and any officer, v.’hose duty it
to prevent this disgrace to our civiliza
tion and the state, who fails to do his
whole duty in the premises, will be most
summarily dealt with. I donfc think the
fight will take place in Florida,
shall sssue a proclamation directing
every sheriff to do his utmost to prevent
the fight coming off in the state, and ap
peal to the people in the several coun
ties to co-operate with the sheriffs in
saving them and their state from such
disgrace.”
Thanksgiving Day.
Thanksgiving day comes on Thursday
the 30th inst. The merchants of our
neighboring towns are giving notice
that their places of business will be closed
on that day. What will Waycross do?
Our merchants have been prosperous
and oar community has been
blessed. The Herald suggests that the
clerks be allowed a holiday and that the
30th inst. be observed as . a day of
thanksgiving and prayer by the entire
population of the Magic City.
