Teachers Institute.
At noon Friday the Ware County
Teachers Institute adjourned after a very
interesting and instructive session ot five
days. Great interest was manifested in
the Institute by the teachers which was
ly due to the energetic and enthu
siastic efforts of Prof. W. H. Woodall of
Bainbridge, who acted as expert.
The committee appointed on text
books reported in favor of adopting Eg

Tike Plant System Flyer.
The Brunswick and Western Railroad
of the Plant System did themselves
proud and succeeded in making the fly
run of the season last night and set a
pace that it will be hard for any other
road in the south to keep up with.
The military special run for the Fifth
Georgia Regiment, who have been
camping on St. Simons the past week,
left Brunswick at 6:39 p. m., and passed
through Waycross at 8:06. and arrived
in Albany at 10:42, making the remark
able run of 191 miles in exactly 4 hours,
3 minutes.
The train was composed of 5 coaches
and two sleepers with Engineer, Ma
honey, said to be the best in the System,
at the tnrottle and genial Conductor H.
F. Wiggins wselding the ticket punch.
Capt. Chari y Morris, master of
trains accompanied the train and was
the recipient of many thanks from the
militia for the sp endid treatment they
had received from the B. & W. through
bis hands and loud 111 their praise of the
fast runs made to and from Brunswick
The Train Didn’t Stop.
The special train having on board the
fifth regiment returning home from St.-
Siraon’s passed through Waycross about
8:30 o’clock Saturday night. A small
crowd of Waycross people were at the
depot to meet them but the train didn’t
stop. There were seven coaches, and
the run was made from Brunswick to
Alhany in lour hours and five minutes
The Belled Buzzard in Town.
A few weeks ago we noticed that a
buzzard with a bell attached to its neck
was seen by Mr. Wm. Miller near the
lake. The buzzard stayed in Mr. Mil
lers neighborhood for a week or more,
but finally left, and yesterday he showed
up in town. He was seen by several
parties on Carroll Hill yesterday morn
ing. He was flying when seen and the
parties attention was directed to him by
the merry tinkling of the bell.—Thom-
asville T.-E.
Thirty-Four Years Ago.
Yesterday was the anniversary of the
battle^)!’ Manassas. It was fought on
the 21st day of July 1861, and has gone
down in history as the “First Battle of
Manassas.” Southern hopes ran high
just after the battle, as the federals were
badly worsted. Virginia soil on that day
drank in some of the best blood in the
South.
Reaping the Fruits.
One of the results of our trade day is
that J. A. Jones & Co. are to-day ship
ping out two buggies and harness, cne to
Florida and one to Coffee county. Our
trade day will bear fruits for many
months to come.
Congressman Russel Here.
Hon. Ben E. Russell spent a portion
of yesterday in the city. He was rttuni
ng to Bainbridge from St. Simons where
he has been spending a few days. We
were glad to find him in excellent health
and spirits. In a short interview, Con
gressman Russell stated to a Herald re
porter that he was for sound and honest
money and opposed to tlie'jfree coinage
of silver at the 16 to 1 ratioC He stands
with Mr. Carlisle,\ Mr. Turner, Hoke
Smith and the prudent on ti e financial
questions. Those who have doubted Mr.
Russell’s position heretofore ueed do so
no longer. He is on the right side as
usual.
New Discovery.
Among the many discoveries of the
present age, none rank higher than the
new metal silvereen, which, owing to its
great durability and cheapness, is bound
to take the place of silver in the manu
facture of fine tableware.
Silvereen is a beautiful white metal
will not tarnish or rust, and all goods
made from it are warranted.
We want every one to have a chance
to compare silvereen with silver, so for
the next sixty days we are going to give
Spoons Free, to every person who will
send for one of our Terry’s Silvereen
sets, containing six tea spoons, one Su
gar Shell, one Butter Knife. If at any
time the Silvereen goods do not prove
satisfactory, return them and your mon
ey will be refunded. Hemember, we give
von the Silver Spoons.

Some Notes From the Island.
St. Simon Island, Ga., July 21, ’95.
One coming here even not expecting
anything more than sea breezes and a
few days or hours rest, would be agreea
bly surprised at the number of promi
nent Georgians that are visiting here.
WaycYoss is well represented at the
hotel in Col. and Mrs. J. C. McDonald,
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Wadley, S. F. Miller
the genial sheriff, E. H. Crawley, and
others your scribe failed to catch in the
crowd. Valdosta sends a delegation of
young gentlemen; Messrs. Briggs, Pee
ples and Jenkins. Thomasville adver
tised her ladies in the samples shown of
Miss Minnie Dillon and Mrs. A. H. S.
Cooke. Mrs. Cooke has had several flat
tering articles in various papers, and it
would be too hard to try to say any more
on that line. She is indisputably the
belle of the hotel and shared honors
with Miss Dillon in the hosts of their ad
mirers. Send us some more like them
and we will need another and a larger
hotel.
One will be sure to find friends here
even though not old ones. Iv.

A Note From Will McIntosh.
It g‘T*s us great pleasure to publish
the following note received this morning
from Will McIntosh. He is evidently
improving and we hope to have him
with us again soon:
Demorest, Ga., July 21, ’95.
Mr. Perham:—Please send us the Dai
ly Herald here until further notice. We
have been here only a day or two, but
I feel improved already and hope I will
soon be able to be back home again.
Yours Truly,
W. R. McIntosh.
What is Man l
Man that is born of woman is of a
few days and full of microbes. He hop-
peth out of the bed in the morn, aud his
foot is pierced by the tack of disappoint
ment.
He sitteth down to rest at noonday
and he is stabbed in his nether anatomy
by the pin of disaster.
He walketh through the streets of the
city irf the pride and glory of manhood
and slipneth on the banana peel of mis
fortune and unjointeth bis neck.
He smoketh the cigar of contentment
and, behold, it explodeth with a loud
noise, for it was loaded.
He slideth down the bannisters of life
and findeth them full of the splinters of
torture.
He lieth down to sleep at night and is
stung by the mosquitoes of annoyance
and hi3 frame is gnawed by the bed-bugs
of adversity.
What is mao but the blind worm of
fate ?
Behold he is impaled upon the hook
of despair and furnisheth bait for the le-
vithian Death, in the fathomless cceair
of time!
Sorrow and travail follow him all the
days of his life.
In his infancy he is afflicted with
worms and colic and in his old age he is
tortured by rheumatism and ingrowing
toecails.
He marrieth a cross-eyed woman be
cause her father is rich and findeth she
hath not sense enough to fry meat.
His father-in-law then monkeyeth
with options and goeth under.
What is a man but a tumor on the
neck of existence?
He playeth the races and betteth his
all on the brown mare because he hath
received a tip.
The sorrel gelding with a bald face
winnetb by a neck.
Behold, he runneth for office and the
dead beat pulleth his leg ever and anoD,
and then voteth against him.
He exalteth himself among his people
and swelleth with pride, but when the
votes are counted be findeth that his
name is pants.
Such is the life of man—poor man.
