We are certainly glad to be able to furnish a drink of pure, unadulterated water to our Florida friends. The show windows on Plant avenue are crowded with Christmas toys of every im aginable kind, shape and description, which reminds us of the near approach of the ho.i- days. Waycross can now boast of the best arte sian water in the State, and her health-re cord is such as to force ns to the conclusion that unless there is a change in affairs some of our worthy M. D’s. will have to plant corn and ’taters for a living. Mr. J. R. Thomas, out ou Hozzard Hill, is doing a fai^business in the way of mer chandising. Mr. Thomas is a sober, indus trious young man, and deserves a sha.e of the public patronage. One thing lacking in Mr. Thomas’ business is an ad in the Her ald so that the people may see what bar gains he lias to offer. The man who sits in his store door all day whittling on a white pine stick waiting for a customer to come along. Is not ia line with the business spirit of the day. He must rise tip. shake off his lethargy, advertise life goods and keep pace with the spirit of the times nud he will have no time to sit around and whittle and thus wear out his jack-knife and the seat of his trousers at the same time. Get up and get a move on you. Frc The merchants of Waycrrss mother good day to-day. Henry Strictland publishes Owens, the leading clothier.

Read the Herald and it will tell you where to buy the cheapest aiul best Christ mas goods. The King’s Daughters meet this after noon. They will look after the suffering poor of the city. Not content with ay immense business in November Owens is determined to do twice as much in December. We call special attention to the attractive ad of Smith, Adams & Parker in this issue. This firm means business. Three hundred people passed through the city yesterday on the excursion train from Gainesville to Savannah. Wild ducks are beginning to come in, a flock of the beauties were seen yesterday evening going southward. That gobbler that gobbles so lustily ery morning can only promise himself a ease of life’till Christmas. 1 Car loads of refugees are returning to Brunswick daily, and the cross-tie hitter follows close in their wake. The cheapest place in Waycross to buy clothing, shoes and hats is at Frank C. Owens, the leading clothier. — When the old fogies and the non-pro gressive get the upper hand in a town, that town is sure to suffer. We’ve seen it tried. Do you wear heavy weight Balbriggan wool or silk underwear? No matter what kind Owens lias it and the prices are flat.

Everything cheaper than other houses can stay at home and buy them. The Message. We publish the President’s mess age in condensed shape in to-day’s issue. It is thought by many to be the ablest document which he has ev er sent to Congress. The failure to mention the silver question again is being adversely criticised by the opponents of the administration,Htjut as the President dde^ ^iot consider legislation necessary at this time, Senator Gordon bids fair to make ! a success in thp lecture /held.

The present pending bill receives his hearty approval, and he recoguizes it as the result of much hard and patri otic labor on the part of the ways and means committee. The Hawaiian question receives considerable attention, as also Mr. Blount’s report, which shows that Queen Lil and the government was overthrown through the connivance of Minister Stevens, is accepted as a truthful statement of the situation in - that country. The failure of the President to mention the proposed repeal of the 10 percent tax on State banks, may possibly be construed to mean that he does not approve that measure. It is quite plain that he approves the exposure and correction of the pension frauds and we can fully understand now that Mr. Smith has had the support of the executive in his efforts in this direction. Taken as a whole, the message is broad and strong and it i? quite cer tain that it will be approved and sustained by the great masses of the party. . and 7 p. m.

If any microbes in Brunswick survived the last •freeze they will certainly succumb to this one, - Waycross is truly a "magic city,” and the Herald is likewise a' “magic’’ paper. Its growth lias been phenomenal, and it is not only increasing its subscription list daily, bat is' now the official organ of three coun ties. parties having Christmas goods to dispose of must be mindful of the fact that Way- cross will be the center of attraction on that memorable day, and many of onr country friends, from Wore and the surrounding counties will be here in search of Christmas presents for their children and friends. The Herald is extensively circulated throughout the district and the people will scan its col umns for bargains. JPlace your ads Herald and let the people see what you have to dispose of. There can no longer be any doubt that Hon. O. A. Bacon, is a candi date for the Senate. He has snb- mitted'his platform to the Georgia Legislature. Eight hundred and eighty four bushels of wheat was harvested from an eight acre patch in Colorado the past season. The crop was grown by irrigation. The governor of Florida js “mad from taw” about the Corbett-Mitch- ell fight. The sluggers will probably be compelled to seek other grounds for their brntal display. It is said that the Czar is about to issue a ukase permitting Jews to live io those Rnsso-Polish villages, which are owned by noblemen, iff case these noblemen obtain guarantees for their lawful behaviour. Wherever such guarantees cannot be obtained the Jews will be forbidden -to. settle. —Ex. And who is to furnish a guarantee for the good behavior of the nobleman. No one will suffer tariff bill except the wealthy, have been fattening on the special privileges of protection." A special from Key West, Fla., says : “Another small uprising is to be expected in Cuba.” It will pro bably happen in time for Christmas. The Republicans are sending out car loads of circulars denouncing the new tariff bill. They might as well accept the inevitable with as good grace as possible. Judge Winters has rendered his decision in t e Iron Hall receivership case. The decision makes a perma nent receiver, and orders a distribu tion of the funds. It has been tearnsd that Prender- grast, the murderer of Mayor Harri son, was locke l up at Kinsley, Kan. for six weeks as a dangerous lunatic. He was tdceu from a Sante Fe train at that point Feb. 16 last and turned over to the authorities. ^ The Boston Herald calls down a certain rabid elemenTin New Eng land that is endeavoring to manu facture public opinion against tariff reform. It well says: “The worst kind of calamity howling is that which undertakes to depress business at the present time” in this manner. A Pennsylvania girl laughed her self to death a few days since. Some fellow cracked a joke and she cracked a blood vessel. She must have been possessed of a very keen sense of the rediculoas. The new tariff bill will cause some of the big corporations and the robber barons to sqnirm and kick, bnt it will delight the masses of the people. It will prove a winning card for de mocracy. Miss Phoebe Consins is coming to Georgia to Write np the industries. She will visit Augusta, Savannah and Colnmbns.

The Kolbites are sau- guinc of success nest time, while Democrats ate equally so, and the canvass will likely wax warm.

A law which will enable a man to place his wealth beyond the reach of the tax-receiver by investing it in non-taxable honds is an nnjusl one, aid an income tax is the only way to force this class of people to assist iu supporting the government.

On last Thursday there were about twenty professional games played in the United States. "And by the way, as far as brutality is concerned, there is a distinction without a difference be tween foot ball playing and prize fighting. per. And now it is said that the grip is coming from the old country. Let it come, this land of the flee and tile home of the tramp is equal to any emergency.

The Brunswick Times-Advertiser comes to us this morning in proper shape. The citizens and business men of Brunswick should sustain the T.-A. with their patronage and their encouragement. Tiie yellow fever is over in Bruns wick, bnt the T.-A. is out this morn ing .iu a long editorial headed the City Embroilment.” This would in dicate that Brunswick is out of the frying pan into the fire. Hilton, tlie millionaire - several times by the grace of the. dead Alex ander Stuart, is disturbed. He has a son who has flourished among the jeunesse doree of Gotham until he has produced the usual troubles to tbe doting parent. He has cost the dignified judge worry and money to the amount of $1,250,000, and now curses him ont flatly, all about a rav ishing little dancer. So the aged Judge is not ’appy they say.
