Special Attention.
We call special attention to the big
advertisement of Brad Watson & Co,
which will be found in another colomn
to-day. Brad Watson & Co. are fast
coming to .the front as leaders of prices
in dry goods in Waycross, and our read
ers will find it greatly to their advantage
to give them a call while in the city.
Shall We Invite Gen. Gordon !
Would it* or not be a good plan to in
vite Gen. Gordon to edme to Waycross
to deliver his lecture on “The last days
of the Confederacy?” One thing is
certain, a large crowd would be drawn
to the city and our largest hall would be
filled to overflowing. The old vets for
hundreds of miles around wou’d be here,
and a boom 'to our city and to business
might result. We would be glad to hear
from some of our leading citizens on the
subject-
