J Mrs. Sellers answered that her husband j was away from home and would not re turn until late, and with that went into the house. She thought the negro went off, but near dark, when Mrs. Sellers went to the cow-lot to milk the cows she was met at the lot by Thomas, who threw her down, beat her severely in the face and succeeded in committing a horrible crime.

Miss Maud Garrett left day day on a visit to friends j i skies wouldgrow green with envy, if they could see this beautiful Waycross weather. Mr.J. M. Jenkins who has been spending Christmas in Waycross will return to Macon Saturday. Billy Kcrsamls and the famous Georgia Ministrel.', will l>e at the Opera house Thurs day January 4th. Christmas has come and gone and that headache only remains to remind some of s that it has been here. Jnegc Ixjtt says that the reason he killed more birds than the rest of the boys was because lie bad the best tree. If you havn’t been on a Christmas “jag” s too late to commence now. Our advice to postpone it indefinitely. The ’utest New York Novelty will be at the Opera house Thursday, Jan., 4th. It is correct representative of a cake walk. The horn is plenty hereabouts and if it n’t good it is at least in the hands of the small boy who knows how to manipulate it. If you haven’t got a good case of grip you are not in the fashion. Judge Sweat and the junior editor of this paper arc in the style. The Waycross people have the right ideas about almost everything. They are ready always to commend the right and condemn the wrong. The ladies of the Methodist church are putting down their new carpet. We would not have many carpets pul-down if the men had it to do. Mr. K. S. Hilliard, C. W. Hilliard and Misses Anni? and Ola Hilliard, of Dens- more. Fla., are spending Christmas with friends and relatives in the city. Judge James A. Anderson, of Atlanta, and daughter, Miss May, is visiting his brother-in-law W. M. Harbin in the city. The Judge will remain with us for sonu days. The little locket advertised yesterday in the Herald as “found” belonged to C. E Cook, lie reeovored' this it morning. That’s wliat advertising does. Mr. Grilling of the Cherokee Nursery found the locket. ' Many persons who have been spending their Christmas abroad are returning to the city. They are welcome to all the pure ar tesian water theycan drink. It is thought thaf that some of them need cooling off. ■ The Herald received a pleasant call from Rev. Mr. McDonald this .morning. Mr. McDonald is one of the best beloved minis ters in the state and has many warm friends in this section. Mr. McDonald and Mr. Mathews will both leave for Columbus in a few days. Yon aee4. tint paper ip voar home. Post poued. The marriage of Mr. Rob*, G. Mitch ell, Jr., to Miss Aj>*st:i, at Blacksheor, which was announced to come off* yes terday, has been postponed on account of the death of Col. J. C. Nichols, who wfa an uncle of Miss Acosta. the guard liou: known parties and Thomas was riddled with bulletts. Sheriff Patterson reach- \ ed Whigham at 3 o’clock this morning, an hour , after the shooting. Upon his arrival he went at once to the guard house to see what lie supposed to be the dead body of the negro, but to his sur prise found him still alive. He went to the home of the marshal of Whigham and securing his assistance took Thomas to the council chamber, seat for a doc tor and had liis wounds dressed. Sher iff Patterson expected to bring him to Bainbridge to-day and place him in jail. When it was time for t|hc westbound traiii to arrive Sheriff Patterson was met by the doctor who informed him that it would be impossible for him to move his prisoner, as he was then in a dying condition and would certainly die during the day. FIRE AT VALDOSTA. Three Buildings Burned at a Loss of 820,000. Valdosta. Ga., Dee. 24.—Fire this morning about 2 o’clock totally des troyed the two-story brick building oc cupied jointly by M. M. Caswell and A. S. Pendleton, Mr. Caswell occupying the first door as a saloon and Pendleton the second floor for furniture and carpets. Neither party saved any of their stocks, everything being completely burned. The store adjoining the burned building, oc cupied by A. S. Pendleton for groceries and furniture was also damaged, and the stock was badly damaged by smoke and water. The fire looked at one time as if it would sweep up the entire block, and several of the merchants adjacent to the burned building moved out their stocks, sustaining more or less loss by removal, among them Harvey & Harvey, drug gists, and W. H. Briggs & Son, hard ware. The building occupied^by Caswell and Pendleton was owned by Marion Nelson, and is almost a total loss. Several other buildings near the fire, owned by different parties, were slightly damaged. During the progress of the fire one of the side walls of the Nelson building fell over on O. K. Jones, crushing one of his legs and badly bruising him about the head and body. Mr. Jones would have been burned to death if one of the firemen had not seen the accident and turned his lvose- upen him ’until lie could be removed. He is resting easy to-night and uo serious results are anticipated. The property burned is estimated at abdut $20,000, and is covered by insur ance, distributed among about fifteen different companies. 'The fire department, aided by the citi zens, did noble work, and it is due to their hard work that the loss jis not twice as great as it is. The origin of the fire is uot known.

RIOT AT WILDWOOD, FLA. SEVERAL NEGROES REPORTED KILLED. The Governor Orders Out the Troops. Wildwood, Fla., ' Dec. 2G.—Abe "fcambriglit the negro who. shot Ira Smith last night together with five other negroes who were in the fight, were ar rested this morning and lodged in jail by Sheriff’ Chapmen, in charge of the Leesburg Riffles. There was considera ble firing from the Rifles before the ar rest were made; At least seventy-five shots were exchanged. Several negroes were slightly wounded. t Isah Rvan (colored) was killed last fright, tyut was ~rii i it ' not reported until this morning.

Mr. Editors:—The more l have trav elled and seen that the Sunday school is N net accomplishing, what it could or should, tho more I have been impressed to write a brief article for your columns. There is evidently a causo why our schools are not.doing that which a lively Sunday school should do. The Sunday school’ is decidedly the grandest auxiliary to the church in sav ing souls that, there is in operation hence its interests should be carefully seen after and if it be discovered that mistakes have been made we should profit therefrom. We arc certainly ac complishing good the extent of which eternity above can teM. But each w >uld do his duty more w mid be done. But where is the hindering cause? Not in the members of the National State Dis- rirched iip ^ ft.ee iiir are-, iam&i/'ri'to 'tlic people about town. Jimmie has a rib —figuratively speaking. In everyday life they are called wives, and Jimmie’s rib had the grip. One day the old negro was met on the street, and af ter his tongue was oiled by a small piece of silver dropped in his palm, he was in clined to be communicative. “Jimmie how is Dinah ?” he was asked. “Oh, massa,” Jim answered, “lie very sick ’oman.” “How’s that, Jim ?” “Well, boss, he hub a bad case of de grab." Sudden Death of Mrs. Huber. We lnesday morn'ng a JJ 5 o’clock, Mr. J. C. Huber discovered that his wife, who was occupying the same bed with him, was dead, and upon investigation it was found that she had died some hours pre viously. * Mrs. Huber was thirty-eight years of age and had been an invalid for years. Heart disease is supposed to have been the immediate cause of her death. Mrs. Huber had been quite cheerful during the Christmas Hollidays and her friends hoped that she was better. Mrs Huber leaves a husband and a little girl nine years of age to mourn her loss. Jesse Lambright, the neg started the difficulty with Rube Carutli- ers, is still at large. THE XCXBER KILLED UNCERTAIN. It is not definitely known how many negroes were killed last night and this morning. most grcatiy.

It school. looked for a while as if Abe Lambright would be lynched, but a mass meeting of the white citizens was held to protest againtt lynch law and to advise peace and compromise. Rev. Mr. Mason, Col. I. E. Barwick and J. H. Curry made earnest speeches to the crowd advising moderation and maintenance of the su premacy of the law. The crowd was quieted and apparanely satisfied to per mit Sheriff Chapman to take charge of and remove Abe Lambright to the jail at Tavares, which he did under the pro tection of the Leesburg Rifles. At this hour everything seems to be quiet. There are about fifty white men under arms. RUMORS OF A NEW UPRISING. It was reported this afternoon that negroes were organizing in the direction of Lady Lake. Telegrams have been -sent to tbe Gov ernor, and it is understood that he has ordered the Tampa Rifles to this place. They will arrive here at 11 o’clock to night. Every road leading into the town is picketed, and the movements of the negroes are closely watched. The people are very much excited. . Rube Caruthers, white, who was shot last night, is not dangerously wounded, It is said that Tom Watson is think ing of starting* a daily in Macon. Il Tom has money, and it is actually burn ing his pocket, why let him start a. doily It will not bother him long. —Darien Gazette. The State Honors and Trusts Him. Mr. Turner, doubtless, had a large part in the construction of the pend ing measure.

What papa and mania does is right. Actions speak louder than words, and when parents loose interest they don’t attend and when they don’t attend they have no interest in the Sunday schools. Not long ago I was in a home and the mother was fixing the children off to Sunday school. The little fallow- didn’t want to go. “But you must go, that is what the Sunday school is for to keep little boys like you out of mischief, said she.” Mothers have you told falsehoods to your children? If so, don’t do so any more. We purpose doing more for your boy. We tell him of the Bible as being a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. We tell him of God the Father, who so loved the world that He gave his Son to die in his stead, and of Christ, who became poor that we through his poverty might become rich. Then . let us carry the children to Sundav school and teach them tfte true object of * the same. That they seeing the interest which we manifest may delight, in at tending the Sunday school, searching the scripture and learning of that Savior who said, .“Suffer little children to come'unto Me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” N.

Thomaston, Ga., Dec. 27.—The iron warehouse at this place, situated on tlie Macon and Brunsw-ick Railroad, was burned this evening. About 200 bales of cotton were stored in it, and the loss falls principally on the merchants, as the farmers who had cotton there had dis- posed of it. The Macon and Brunswick depot was saved by tlie heroic efforts of the bucket brigade. \u Armed Posse at Bay. Dalton, Ga, Dec. 27.—-Stands the liberated lunatic is holding an armed posse at bay around a country church. He fired several shots to-day, but they were Ineffective. He has eaten’ nothing for five days. Hopes for his capture to night are entertained.
