month;
In itA description of our .first trade 8
day, the Atlanta Constitution stated that
the Herald was “proud.” It is a fact
that we were proud then, and it is. also
trpe that we are powerful “stuck up” to
day. Waycroes has outdone herself. She
has demonstrated her capacity to enter
tain and feed any number of visitors that
may come.
Never before in the history of the
“Magic City” baa there been such a gath
ering of people as that of yesterday.
Many came in on the evening of the 3d
inst, and numbers from a distance camp
ed in the suburbs of the city.. Before
sun rise yesterday morning the crowds
began to pour in from every point of the
compass. Hundreds came through the
country; 6ome having traveled twenty-
five to thirty miles to be with us at our
4th of July celebration. The early trains
were well filled and the 2 o’clock trains
on all the roads were crowded. At 2
o’clock Plant avenue from the Wilson
block to English’s corner, a dis
tance • of half a mile, presented
the sight of a living moving
mass of humanity. The stores were
crowded with eager buyers, and few busi
ness houses, especially those who adver
tised in the Herald, failed to do a big
business.
The people came from every county
and every section within sixty miles of
the city* It was remarked by mr.ny that
a fintr looking or better behaved crowd
had never been seen before.
Almost every business house was dec
orated with bunting and flags, and the
C. C. Grace Co. had an immense sign
which extended across the entire street.
The Dinner.
A table five hundred leet long had
been erected under the beautiful shade
trees which adorn and beautify Gulf
street, and upon this a magnificent din
ner had been placed. At 12 o’clock
Judge Sweat gave the signal and dinner
was announced. Watermelons, lemon
ade and coffee in abundance was furnish
ed for a desert, and after the hungry
multitudes had been fed came
The Baby Show.
The baby show had been looked for
ward to as one of the biggest events
of the day and it did not prove a disap
pointment, At the call for prize babies,
Rev, Edmund D. viser. Pastor, services
meeting Thursday evening at 8 o’clock.
over the crowd marched up Plant aven
ue to where the races. were to come off,
between the Phoenix and Southern ho
tels. The first was a 75 yard foot race
for a prize of $5.00. There were ten en
tries, and was won by Mr. J. O. Johns, of
Glenmore.
The Colored Folks Race:
The foot race for colored, folks for a
prize of $5.00 came next The distance
was 100 yards and the prize was won by
Monroe Peterson, a tall negro from Jack*
sonville, by aboat 25 yards.
The Bag Race.
Five small boys entered the bag race.
The distance was 50 yards. J. Patrick
Kinney, of Pierce, is rejoicing over the
prize of $2.50 in gold.
Greasy Foie Clirablmg.
Noxt came the greasy pole climbing
the little park just in front of the
Bank of Waycroes. Harley C. Williams
a young man from Screven, won the
prize of $5, he being the only one able
to reach the top ot the pole. There
were about twenty-five boys who entered
this contest,no but one except young Wil
liams, could get more than half way,
The greasy pole climbing afforded much
amusement for the crowd.
The Bicycle Race.
v The sidewalks on both side* of Gil
more street for half a mile or more were
crowded with visitors who had come to
see the bicycle race. Dr. T. A. Bailey
and Mr. Ward Albertson were to run,
and the distance was half a mile. Ward
Albertson won by a few yards. The
prize was $5.00 tn gold.
The Magie City Band
Came out about 12:30, and the visitors
were made livelier by the sweet music
from the band. Dr. Gus. Folks was very
conspicious for his handsome appearance
as the wagon drove down Plant avenue,
and somebody said he was trying to
blow the head out of the bass drum.
The Waycross Rifles.
The Rifles gave an exhibition drill at
5 o’clock. Their ranks were well filled
and they presetned a very fine appear
ance. Ihs crowd was much pleased and
followed the “soldier boys” all over the
town.
The Prize Watermelon.
The finest watermelon on exhibition
was the “William’s melon” raised by
Messrs. Henry Williams and W. T. Lott,
weight 42 pounds. It was a be auty

Part of a Man’s Head and face Dang
ling from the Car Trucks.
When train No. 57 came in from
Savannah at 8 o’clock last night, the car
inspectors found dangling from a truck
the face of a colored man. On the
truck was also found a few strips of the
unfortunate man’s overalls. The man
had evidently been trying to steal a ride
on the trucks or betweeB the cars.

Bishop, the subject of the following,
which we find in Sunday’s Thomasville
Times-Enterprise, spent several weeks in j
Waycross last winter, and is well remem- j
bered by nearly everybody in this city:
Everybody in Thomasville will re- |
member George W. Bishop, of shoe polish
and medicated soap fame, who gave
street exhibitions here sometime ago.
He has been reported dead several times
since he was here and again news has
been received of his death in Maryland
from the bite of a snake sent him by P.
B. Dukes, of Oealq. Bishop was a well
known character throughout Georgia.
He was a successful street trader, selling
blacking, polish, soap, etc. His street
exhibitions were unique, and his appear
ance always attracted large crowds. He
dressed in a suit of clothes made from
the skin of snakes, and had a number of
live ones which he handled with apparent
•indifference. His lectures on the subject
were really good, and were often listened
to by the most intelligent people in the
community, Bishop claimed to have an
absolute specific for the bite of rattle
snakes. His death occurred in a small
viliage in Maryland, the fatal bite being
given during one of his exhibitions.
And everything to be found in first-class establishments. Patronage solicited and

Why do people complain of hard times,
when any man or woman can make from
$5 to $10 a day easily. All have heard o
the woderful success of the Climax Dish
washer; yet many are apt to think they
can’t make money selling it; bnt any one
can make money because every family
wants one. One agent has $478.36 in the
last three months, after paying all expenses
and attending to regular business besides.
You don’t have to canvass; as soonfs peo
ple know you have it for sale they send
