Mr. Finn is about to finish up hi
work at the artesian well.
Yesterday was another one of those
warm days that you read about.
Scuppernong grapes in profusion, and
two varieties are on the market.
Wah-boo-Cbee has struck the town,
now what are you going to do about it?
The female base ballists left town last
night. So did the Way cross Rifles sharp-

Many of those who promised “to see

At any rate, they didn’t “see us.”

Personal experience convences me
that Dr. G* B. Williams’ Pills are a

Tom Lanier is bru^iing and cleaning
up and will soon let the people know he
is on deck to stay, and will have some
thing to say about the jewelry business.
Dr. J. H. Conoway, of Sinithville, is
in the city today. He is trying to rent
a house and will probably move to Way-
cross.
You thought we were joking about
that new brick walk in front of the Her

It couldn’t hold it long, however, and

Capt. O’Brien carried five very good
shots to the shooting contest at Albauy
today. It is thought that private Archi

Mrs. J. H. Howell and Miss Lizzie
Howell, also Mr. J. M. Swift, from .Stock-
ton, Ga., called at the Herald office this
morning. They desire to move to Way-
cross and are looking for houses to rent.
The Public Schools will open Monday,

IS XESORUI31
Of Jlrs. Sarah Matilda Salisbury, who
Died Monday, Aug. 10,1895*
The broken shaft, the shattered heart,
the darkened home, the new made grave
tells the whole story.
Those who knew little Sallie Lanier
thirteen years ago, as a bright, lovely
girl, later as a bride, then as an invalid
for eighteen months, can but feel sad at
the death of one so young and so loved.
ven years ago deceased was led to
the altar by Mr. Delavmi (Salisbury, and
eemed to him full of promise and
happiness with his young bride, while
the friends of both parties could see
nothing to mar their happiness. Still,
the midst of all these bright anticipa
tions, eighteen months ago, consumption
begai to claim its victim*. Medical at
tention, a six months’ trip to Texa*, and
all that tender nursing could do, was
without any apparent avail. Mrs. Salis
bury, accompanied by her faithful hus
band, returned to Waycross, where the
ravages of this fearful destroyer soon
caused the battle of life to come.to a
close, and the tired spirit of the affiicted
to find rest and health in the arms
of a waiting savior.
Mrs. Salisbury leaves a husband and a
little girl, r«arah, three years of age, a
father and two brothers, and numerous
friends and relatives to mourn her death.
Slie was a consistent member of tha
Methodist church, having joined about
twelve years ago and was the daughter of
Mr. T. E. Lanier, and a sister of Perit
and Thomas Lanier, of this city.
Her remains were interred on lot 7»
block J, Lott cemetery, Monday after
noon, whither a large concourse of'friends
followed them.
The writer has known her for thirteen
years, and in her death shares the be
reavement of her husband, father, broth
ers and friends.
Before Judge Williams, Yesterday,
Quite a number of cases were disposed
of in the County court, before Judj
Williams, yesterday.
J. J. Bradley, charged with cruelty to
animals, demanded an indictment by the
grand jury. Mr. Bradley is the man
that stuck a knife in a horse belongin;
to Mr. Morris, claiming that he did it to
relieve the horse of colic.
Joe McCrary and Will McCrary, both
colored, plead guilty to carrving con
cealed weapons, aiul were sentenced to
12 months at Waltertown.
Caple Singleton, charged with assault
and battery, was found guilty and given
12 months.
Eph Watts was sentenced to eight
months for larceny, and Ed. Young, for
cheating and swindling, got six months.
It was quite a lively day in Judge
Williams’ court, and notwithstanding
that the prisoners were ably defended,
with the exception of Bradley, who de
manded indictment, they were all found
guilty.
The Opportunity of Wa j cross.
A crisis comes in the life ot towns just
as it comes in the lives ot individuals.
Recognized and used well it often leads
to prosperity. Neglected, the tide tarns
in an opposite direction, and no human
power can arrest the downward current.
Waycross has never had, and will prob.
ably never have again in the next twen
ty years, such an opportunity as it now
has through the Atlanta Exposition, to
let the world know its advantages and
seof the surrounding country. Health
mrpassed, climate superior to any part
of the state, water pure and abundant,
and soil that yields more readily than
any knowu for the least labor bestowed.
Home-seekers will find here just the
conditions that make yfe most desirable.
Other towns are putting before the world
r claims. Enterprise . and energy,
with a little self-sacrifice will bring thenl
in return a rich reward. Shall Ware
county and Waycross, the ggn of the
ire grass, sleep through the swiftly-
fleeting months that belong to 1895, the
year of golden opportunity, and lose the
reward other localities will reap?
Let us awake to the importance of the
hour!
A Big Job. .
The Herald received on Saturday last
the copy and an order for the printing
of 5,000 books containing 150 pages
each. This order came from a professor
in one of the colleges on one of our lines
of railroad centering at Waycross, and
quite a distance from the magic city. We
may be compelled to call in help to do
this job, but we propose to handle it in
good shape. We do not mention this
matter to boast, but to demonstrate to
our home people that Waycross is reach
ing out for business all over the land.
The late trade issue of the Herald
brought this work to our doors, as it lias
brought hundreds and thousands of dol
lars to our business men that • we never
had before. The moral that we would
line to inculeate is, help home enterprises
that they may help you.
To The Farmers of Ware County.
Those in charge of the Ware County
exhibit for the Atlanta Exposition, ap
peal to the farmers to contribute bundles
of oats, rice, corn, sugar cane, and other
f irm products ; the stalks with the grain
on them. Also, choufas, ground peas,
artichokes ani fruits of all kinds.
They wish the grain to decorate the
space that is assigned to them in the
Plant building. Each contribution will
be exhibited with the name of exhibitor
attached. Let each farmer contribute a
little ot each of these products from his
farm, and he will help to advertise his
county, and benefit himself. Old hun
ters who will contribute stag’s horns, or
other articles of interest, will aid the
cause.
Telephone Ordinance.
An Ordinance, granting to W. J. Smith,
his associates, successors and assigns,
the right and privilege of erecting and
maintaining telephone poles and wires
within the corporate limits of the City
of Waycross, and operating a Tele
phone Exchange.
Be it ordained by the Mayor and Coun
cil of thj City of Waycross, in regular
meeting assembled, and it is hereby or
dained by said authority, that W. J.
Smith, his associates, successors and as
signs be and they are hereby granted
right of way for the erection and main
tenance of poles and cro-s arms and wires,
with necessary appurtenances thereto,
for the purpose of transacting a general
Telephone business through, over and
upon the* streets and alleys of the City of
Waycross.
Be it further ordained, that in consid
eration of the use of the streets and al
leys as hereinbefore provided and granted,
as well as in consideration of the privi
leges so granted, the said W. J. Smith,
his associates, successors and assigns shall
at any and all times jvhen requested by
the authorities of the City of Waycross,
permit the top cross arms of its poles or
such parts or portions thereof as may be
required, to be used by said City for the
purpose of placing thereon any fire or
police alarms which may be necessary
for the Police or Fire departments of said
City of Waycross.
Be it further ordained, that any per
son who shall wrongfully, wilfully, or
maliciously interfere with, cut, injure^
remove or destroy, any of the poles, wires
or other appurtenances of said telephone
system, within the corporate limits of the
City of W&vcross, or shall Hitch horses
Baseball Yesterday.
The Herald learns that the baseball
game yesterday, between the home nine
and the New York female club, was con
siderable of- a farce. However, Way-
cross is bound to keep up her reputation
for allowing herself to be humbugged,
and it would have been getting outside
the old rut had her people failed to turn
in goodly numbers to witness the
novelty of women playing ball.
The Herald is free to confess that were
t to do over again we would protest
igainst a similar exhibition in Waycross.
Our people and our young men cannot
afford to place the seal of approval and
encouragement upon characters so ex
ceeding!'' doubtful.
The thing is over now, however, and
the Herald pleads guilty to ueglect of
duty in not protesting at the proper
time against the recognition which has
been accorded the people in Waycross.

for the company, and accepted by Capt.
O’Brien, for himself and squad.

Wa-Hoo-Chee Here.
Wa-hoo-chee, the great Indian preach
er, who has been carrying on a series of
open air meetings in Thomasville, is in
the city. He arrived this morning from
Thomasville and it is expected that he
will commence a big meeting here.
In Thomasville large crowds went to
hear him preach, white as well as black,
and in Waycross we do not doubt that
he will have equal success.
Wa-hoo-chee is a pure blooded Cher
okee Indian, of middle age, and very
fair appearance. His hair, which is long
and black, hangs down his back and is
sastened at the end with a blue ribbon*
The balance of his dress is a mixture of
civilized costume and the Indian dress.
Wa-hoo-chee has struck a good town for
his business and we would like to swap
incomes with him for the next two days.
Death of Mrs. Dell Saulsbery.
Mrs. Dell Saulsbery died at her home
