Ware Connty Jail Empty.
Sheriff Miller called at the Herald of
fice this morning and informed us that
for the first time in many mouths Ware
county’s jail is empty, and that he had
only’ a few criminal warrants for minor
offenses on hand. This is a good show

is evidence that our county is law abid

the State, and we would like to see him
make an honest living, but wc hope he
may have no more county boarders.

Foot Ball.
When a prize fighter is killed in the
ring there is a cry from Bangor to San
Francisco for the suppression of such
brutality. When a foot ball player is
taken from the field and doctors are
called to sew on ears and remedy other
troubles the country rubs its bauds in
glee and exclaims, “what fine sport.”
Such is human consistency.—Ex.

The Municipal Election.
It is known that a meeting of the
citizens of Waycross will be called in tbe
near future for the purpose of nominat
ing a municipal ticket to serve the ensu
ing year. It is understood that this
meeting will endorse the; names of par
ties who will have already been selected
by their respective wards for aldermen;
and also nominate a mayor. The Her
ald will support the nominees so made
to the best of its ability. Personally, the
editors of this paper do not hesitate to
declare tjieir prefferencc for A. M.
Knight for mayor, and will support him
by their votes in the convention. How
ever, should our candidate not be the
nominee, we will cbeerfnlly support the
man that is nominated. The columns
of the Herald are open to those who de
sire to discuss local politics, and if there
are two sides to the question we are wil
