A Tourists Hotel.
There is no better place in the South
for a tourists hotel than Wuyeross. Our
present hotel accommodations are as
goed as there are in any town of our
size in the state, but a large 200 room
hotel, well located, with all the modern
improvements, would be crowded every
season. _Thoma§ville, uo better situa
ted and not nearly so convenient, has
three or four first-class hotels and they
are all filled during the winter season.
If northern capital is seeking invest
ment this is the place to put it. We
have the healthiest climate on the globe
as our mortuary report shows, and our
artesian water is unexcelled. Our cit;
is surrounded by pne forests, the per

Waycboss, Ga. Jan., 13tli, 1894.
To MY FRIENDS AND THE PUBLIC:
It may n -t seem in accord with cu§,^
tom or in harmony with what many
would do under like circumstances for
me to write this card, but feeling as I do,
and the subject it relates to being known
by so many, I yield to my own convic
tions; I wish to say to my relatives,
friends and the public, that I have re
solved to quit drinking anything intoxi
cating whatever.
To succeed in accomplishing this re
sult I have at last obtained the consent
of my own will power and manhood, and j
to sustain this, I am, if necessary, going
to apply aids of the medical science; and
above all in the future I expect to en
deavor to lead a Christian life.
My friends will not blame me for this
course, nor sec anythiug in this card to
criticise, others—who are not—may.
Sincerely,
John C. McDonald,

bats at Engineer Meban, striking him in

They also threw bricks at Conductor

also considerably injured. It is to be

Anybody would suppose from a glance
at the above paragraph that the crime
was committed by Blackshear people,
h«t not so. The bricks, so we have been
informed, were thrown of a party of five
tramps, who were ejected from the train
which had just proceeded No. 19. We
join issue with the Herald in hoping the
guilty parties mav be apprehended and
severely dealt with.—Black diear Times.

What l)o Your Children Read 1 |
Are you paying any attention to what
your children are reading ? If not, you
should begin to do so at once. It is as
easy to cultivate a good as a depraved
literary taste in children and young
people, provided you commence in time.
Children will read something and what
they read will exert an important influ
ence upon their future character. Par
ents should exert theifiselves earnestly to
keep out of the house the sensational
novel, the blood curdling tale of vice,
the obscene pictures, and the whole flood
of wicked, degrading, crime producing
literature with which we are threatened.
It is just as important to look after this
portion of the education of your children
it is to send them to school. Parents
do not neglect the important matter of
seeing to it that your children read only
the proper kind of literature.
ThoinasviHe Happy.
Thomasville Ga., Jan. 16.—Col. S. G.
McLendon to-day received a telegram
from Mr. Plant, siating that a new train
will be put on the Savannah Florida
& Western railway on Jan. 18 to con
nect with No. 35 at Waycross. This is
done for the special benefit of Thomas-
ville. The present schedule is doing
Thpmashille great injustice. Mr. Plant
knows this and has greatly deprecated
it. He has worked, we are assured,
earnestly to get better connections for
our people and failing to induce, ether
lines to co-operate, he will put a new
train on, at considerable extra expense,
to remedy the present recognized evil.
His Hand Mashed.
Mr. Thomas G. Mays, connected with
the Steam Laundry, in this city, was the
victim of a serious accident day before
yesterday. His left hand was caught in the
machine and badly mangled. The ends
of bis fingers were mashed oft and his
whole hand is terribly mangled. He is
now with friends in Albany.
Redwine, on the eve of his depart
ure for the penitentiary yesterda
morning, stated to a Journal reporter
that no man in the Gate City bank
was in any way responsible for his
shortage, but declined to say what
be did with the missing $103,000.
The Turn of fhe Tide.
Dun’s review asserts that the tide has
turned—that the end of 1893 witnessed
the low water mark in the tide of pros
perity, and that the first week of 1894.
ows a rise in all lines.
It is worthy of remark that the .chief
idences of recovery are in manufact
uring lines, showing that the jumped up
fight about the Wilson bill was more or
less illusory. In times like these the
indrustries which are legitimate, which
clear money upon their own merits
rather than depend upon government
subsidies or bounties stand out and pros
per, while the pampered and protected
interests are the quickest lo succumb:
There is no reason why the new -year
should not witness -a return of good
timess Returning, prosperity will come
slowly and cautiously, but it is coming
all the same. The sign in Savannah
point-unmistakably in that direction.
Tlie bottom of business depression and
industrial dullness has been reached and
the rebound is preceptible in this locality.
