Williaras,.Secretary. Judge James Thompson. Folkston, Ga. f Dec.Tl, 189 3. Editors Herald: Thinking that it would interest many of your readers I have decided to furnish you with a short biography of one of the most notable men that ever added anything to the history of this county, and who has left his name engravened more indelibly perhaps than anp other man who was ever in any way connected with Charlton county. That man was Judge James Thompson. He was born in Tatnall county, Geor gia, April 6th 1815, came to thb count/ when quite young,. perhaps about 17 years of age, eulisted in the Indian war iu 1833 and "served there about three years. Judge Thompson was in many ways a notable man. He held various offices in the county for nearly fifty years. He served his people first as a constable, then ns a judge of the iuferior court. In 1855 he was elected to the general as sembly, Hater he was called again into public life, and in 1880-SI served in the lower house of the legislature, aa 1 in 82-S3 ho.represented the fourth sena torial district in thd senate. In 1884 he was elected county school commissioner in which capacity he served for eight years giving to the educational interests of his county work the value of which can never be estimated. In 1892 when the services of true aud tried men were in demand When the whole country was in a state of agitation, and the demo cratic party was casting about for its ablest and strongest men he was chosen to lead the democratic columns of his county to the grea': victoiy which re- svlted in committing publie affairs to the hands of the people’s friend and the country’s choice, Grover Cleveland. Judge Thompson’s - usefulness was brought to an end rather suddenly sud denly by his death on Aug. 7tli, 1893 after an sllness of only a few days. No man ever had more or stronger friends among all classes than he. As a citizen he was the peer of any man. He was a friend at all times to those who needed his friendship and being possessed ot large means he was a friend to a large number of people in financial matters. In rcligioirke was a consistent and prominent member ot the Primitive Baptist church, and in matters pertain ing to church government his counsel was sought as much as his judgment in public affairs. In his death Charlton county lost a son wfcose place can never l)c filled. * Let silence govern the lips which would attempt to utter ought against his honored name. Respectfully, W. O. Gibson. Re Tried Sam Join’s Style. Birmingham, Ala. Dec. id— 1 The Rt k v.4 Bin Jones has for several weeks been carrying on revival services here, aptl his customary epithets, “You dirty yellow, hound dog,” “You imp of hell,” and other such expressions, were fre quently used by the noted evangelist in addressing his congregations. Parson Isaac,Davidson, who presides., over a small negro church a few milc3 from here, was a regular attendant at the stings. He was a great admirer of the Roy. Mr. Jone’s style, and decided to cultivate it. Accordingly, last'Sun day lie treated his congregation to a new kind of preaching, which was in strong contrast to his former meek and ‘ lowly black devils! You imps of hell! sow cats!” he began, him!” shouted a big black vho sat near the front and to preacher appeared'to address m!” was echoed through the tion. id old sisters joined in the cry, and Mpn the congregation was upon him. T/jFinaily some charitable persons suggested-he was crazy and the parson’s n Mite endorsed this assertion. He 3 soon red and watched like a maniac. 3 epi|jjained that he was trying Sam JonelsS&ctics on his congregation, but they", not having heard that exhorter, coukbaiot bo convinced that these method? were customary, and had the parsosffkrrested for using “cuss words” in the pulpit. He has not as yet had his trial .--New York Sun. .Ot®* 1 * I begin the greatest slaughter sale of first class, new, fresh stock ever seen in this section—too many overcoats—too many suits for both men and boys—too many pants —too many shoes—too many of all except mon ey, and before January ist MONEY I MUST HAVE. 100 Blue Flannel Suits at 87 00.

A cordial invitation is extended to all to attend these services. A Public Library. The demand for a public library in Wayeross is increasing daily. It may be putting it pretty strong to make the statement, but we do believe that a good library in the community is needed more than any other one thing at this present time. If you will investigate the matter a little you will find that our young peo ple have not the proper books to read. If, however, the good books around here were brought together and put within the reach of all, the number would astonish you and the advantage to our people would be incalculable. The cost of getting up a library npon the general contribution plan, is small and is the best way to make a start When a nucleus is formed and an organization perfected the library will continue to grow from month to month and from year to year. There are hundreds of valuable maps and documents in the government departments which would be donated us and from many other sources contributions would flow in. If this work is ever to be accomplished in Wayeross it must be done by the ladies, they can take hold of the matter and have the whole thing in working order in thirty days, and future generations will rise up and call them blessed.

Estate of James Thompson. Take the Evening Herald. Bnrned to Death. The Herald learns of a shocking oc currence which took place about two miles from Milwood, on Monday' last. A Mrs. Morgan was building a fire the fire-place of her home, when her dress caught fire. She had her baby in her arms, and placing it hurriedly o bed, she ran to the well in the yard for water, tfie flames having caught her gar ments rapidly, she attempted to re turn to the house. Iler cries brought assistance, but too late. She died tbe same afternoon. It is a very sad case. The baby was not injured. The northwest is having a regular old time cold snap. A Little Nonsense.

Mistress—What did you do with that old brown dress that hung in ray closet? Domestic—You told me to get rid of all the rags ma’am, aud so I gave it to the ragaiau. Mistress—Goodness me!

The Georgia Railroad depot at] ^ Sparta was bnrned at daylight yes terday morning. It is thought the express office had been robbed. A Little Swarm uf IPs. From Good Housekeeping. Be earnest. Half-heartedncss will not accomplish one-half as much as whole heartedness will, when it is rightly han dled. * Be honest. “Honesty is the best poli cy,” and the best policy will often be found along the way that honest men travel. Be straight. Not only “straight as a string,” but be rather “straight as an ar row” if you would be sure to “hit the mark." Be watchful. “Watch out” and you should watch in, as well. Also, “watch and wait,” if you would not let opportu nity slip by unnoticed. Be considerate. “Consider your ways and, be wise,”, and having found the ways of wisdom, walk therein “all the days of your life.” ’f Be amiable. A “cross-patch” “may pass by on the other side without being asked to “come back our way,” while all the world likes to go go hand in hand with amiability. Pat Meban was acquitted for kil ling the man who had Jnstilted his wife. It’s hard to hang a man in Georgia under circumstances of this kind* Editor Triplett says “let tlie *boy whistle.” Yes, indeed, let him whistle. In fact, he has to whistle these times <4o keep up his courage. It seems almost incredible, never theless it is true that nearly 13 per cent of the railway property in tbe United States went into the hands of a receiver during the past year. There are too many chronic grumb lers, in Georgia, it would be a good idea to levy a special tax, municipal, county and state, on these pessimists. —Ex. Snicide at Advi. Adel, Ga., Dec. 18.—Florence O’Nea committed suicide in this place last night by taking a big dose of laudanum. No cause is assigned for the deed, other than she was tired of living, and wanted te die. Three Crazy. New York, Dec. 18.—Alfred Jones, s of North Carolina, consul to Shanghai, went mad on voyage home and died. Two other passengers also went crazy on same trip. The sailors declared that the vessel was hoodooed. A Battle for Blood Is what Hood’s Sarsaparilla vigorously fights, and it is always victorious in ex pelling all the foul taints and giving the vital fluid the quality and quantity of perfect health. It cures scrofula, salt rheum, boils and all other troubles caused by impure blood. A Car Load of Tramps. At the depot early this morning the officers found a box car loaded with tramps. They were not molested, but with assistance ol a car seal and a wire, the car was locked and the “tourists” sent towards Thomasville. When and whereever the car stops the tramps will stop.—Albany Herald. The bill to increase the English navy failed in the house of commons by a vote of 240 to 204.

Dec. 18.—By an agree ment reached to-day, the reward of $1 ,000 for Lewis Red wine’s arrest was divided between the woman who be trayed him, and the officer who made his arrest. A good deal of contention grew out of the matter, and the case has been iw court. General Early passed through At lanta a day or two since en route to New Orleans, where he goes to su perintend the last drawing of the Louisiana Lottery. Its charter ex pires on the 1st day of January. A happy riddance. We rejoice to see the Times-Ad vertiser in its usual size and form again, dever Henry Wrench lia9 done- a great work for Brunswick this summer, and now the people of that city should certainly heap upon him the liberal patronage and sub stantial reward he so richly deserves.
