At the Methodist Chnrch.
The sermon yesterday morning at the
Methodist church was one of the best
ever delivered by the pastor, Rev. A.
M. Wynn. He was at his best, and his
earnest words made a profound impress
ion upon his congregation.
He preached on the subject of mis
sions and referred to the recent distur
bances in China and Japan. He spoke
encouragingly of the foreign work, and
said out of all those disturbances God
would surely bring light and salvation to
these in darkness. “Glory to God,’’ex
claimed the preacher, “the morning
cometh! The night is fast passing away,
and in the East the br;gl»t light of day
is appearing.” Mr. Wynn preached to'
the young people last night.
A Large Damage Suit,
Possibly the largest suit which has
ever been instituted in Charlton county,
was filed by Col. C. C. Thomas, of this
place, on last Tuesday, at Trader’s Hill.
The proceeding is an injunction and
suit for damages for $77,786.00, for tres
pass, in favor of A. C. McLeod, J. J. Up
church, 13. G. Dyal and D. T. Doughty,
against Maxie Brooks, Brooks Bros. &
Co., the Brooks Lumber Co. and the
Chattahoochee Brick Co. The injunc
tion will be heard here in chambers, be
fore Judge Sweat, on Sept. 2d.
The land in question embraces 05 lots
of the finest timber in the bend of the
St. Mary’s river, and the legal fight will
probably be interesting.

A few young people met in a surprise
party, at the home of Mr. Albertson,
lost evening. Each person carried his

great amusement in guessing at the cor
rect originals. All enjoyed the evening
very much, and went away praising Mbs
Emma as hostess.
Their Thanks oil Satin.
Capt. Tim O’Brien, of the Waycro-s
Rifles, has received a copy of resolutions
adopted by the Columbus Guards, ex
pressing their thanks to Capt. O’Brien
and the Waycross Rifles, Capt. Symonds
and the Brunswick Rifles, ami Capt.
Wooten and the Albany Guards, for
courtesies extended them by these com
panies during the recent encampment of
the Fourth regiment at 8t. Simon.
The resolutions are neatly printed on
white satin, and framed in white, mak
ing a beautiful and artistic piece of work*
The resolutions will be hung in the
Rifles’ armory and will be a constant re
minder of the pleasant associations of
Camp Satterlee.
Beautiful Needle Work.
Mrs. J. M. Swift, recently of Stockton,
now of Waycross, exhibited in the Her
ald office a few davs since a most beauti
ful piece of needle work, done by Miss
Ada Swift, her sixteen year old daughter.
It is a map of Georgia, in silk and satin,
of the most brilliant and beautiful colors.
The names of the counties and county
seats are beautifully embroidered, each
county has its proper proportions and
shape. The Sea Islands are perfectly
arranged in shape and position and the
ocean is represented by watered silk.
The map will be sent to the At’anta ex
position and will be accorded a promi
nent place in the ladies department. It
will certainly take the cake.
From Nichols to ffozelhurst.
The Herald learns that it has been
definitely settled and that the Waycross
Air Line R. R. will be expended from
Nichols to Hazelhurst, on the E. T. V.
& G. The distance is about thirtv mil es
This connection will greatly benefit
Waycross, as it gives us another outlet
north and west and that is what we
need. Waycross has flourished with on
ly one system of railroad, but the time
has come when she needs a few com
peting lines and we are glad to know
that the time is not far distant when,
we are to have one.

At Folkston.
The Sunday School Convention at
Folkston last Saturday and Sunday was
a big success. The crowd on Saturday
not as good as expected, but was im
mense yesterday. All the devotional
services were interesting and attended
with evidences of the spirit. Mr. R. B.
Reppard, ot Savannah, had charge of the
children’s meeting in the afternoon yes
terday, and the young and old people
too, were well entertained.
A Regular Monte Carlo.
[Special to the Citizen.]
Waycross, Ga.;Aug. 24.—“Waycross
will soon be the Monte Carlo of Geor
gia,” said a business man last night, “if
the city authorities do not put a stop to
gambling. There is gambling going on
here day and night. The parlors are
frequently used for that purpose, and so
ciety folk are engaged in the business.
The authorities now and then break up
a gambling den in the negro quarters,
but a raid on some parlor game at mid
night has not been attempted. The rail
road pays its employes on the loth of
each mouth, and two or three days in ad-
vane of thee pay day, squads of white
and negro gamblers come here and win
the money of many of the employes of
the railroad. When the 15th is well
over, the visiting gamblers leave the city
and do not return until next pay day.
I say again, if this thing is not investi
gated and remedied, Waycross will be a
veritable Monte Carlo.”
The speaker seemed to know what he
was talking about, and he is only one
among a thousand who have the same to
say of gambling in Waycross.
The above “special” from Waycross ap
pears in the Florida Citizen of the 25th
inst., and we deem it our duty, as editors
of the local paper, to defend the fair
name of our town against such calumny.
Whether tim “special” was hatched in
the fertile brain of the Waycross corres
pondent or whether he received the state
ment, as he says, from “a business man,”
matters not, the Herald pronounces it an
unmitigated slander.
There if ay be some gambling In Way-
cross. A town the size ot ours never ex
isted without an occasional gambler, but
it is not true that the parlors of our cit
izens are utilized for this purpose, or that
society folk are engaged in the business
of gambling. There is less gambling
and drinking in Waycross than in any
i of its size in the state, and the
charge that our beautiful Magic City, a
city of churches, of schools, of refine
ment and of morality, is soon to become
a “regular Monte Carlo,” is untrue and
without foundation and ridiculous in the
extreme. A correspondent must, indeed,
be hard up for a sensation or in dire dis*
i for a subject upon which to base a
“space” article, when lie can thus afford
to stultify himself and malign the town
where he resides.
Private School.
iss Winifred Quarterman will open
a private school in the Crawley building,
near court house, on Monday Sept. 9th
1895.
French will be taught as a special
course. Charges moderate. 27-2wd&w
Out* of the Caban Gnus.
Col. C. C. Thomas returned from
Folkston yesterday, where he has been
on legal business. He brought with
him one of the guns recently thrown
overboard near Fernandina by the par
ties who were trying to send them to the
Cuban insurgents.
Two boat loads were put aboard a
schooner which carried them- to Cuba,
but it is thought that at least a thousand
guns were thrown overboard by the third
boat. The gun is a Remington Rifle,
56 caliber and and will kill a man at
half a mile. The gun was a present to
Mr. Thomas from the sheriff of Charlton
county.
The Waycross Light Infantry.
The Waycross Light Infantry was
for drill on the streets, last night, for the
first time. There were about thirty-five
men in line. The compaup was divided
up in squads and the sqhads were drilled
by the non-commissioned officers. All
the commissioned and non-commissioned
officers and several of the privates are
old military men, and anyone seeing the
drill last uight would not have thought
that it was the first drill of the Way-
i Light Infantry.
LABOR DAY.
The work Progressing.
The material for the telephone system
in Waycross is now in transit and the
contract for the poles will be awarded
today. The work is going on as rapidly
possible and Waycross will sorely
have her telephone system in the near
future.
Mr. Jack Cribb Read.
Mr. Jack Cribb, ofWaresboro, ayonng
man of eighteen or twenty yean of age,
and a son of Mr. Mitchell Cribbi died
yesterday. He was well and hearty last
Tuesday and today is a corpse—another
reminder to “be ye also ready.” Mr.
Cribb was converted and joined the
church some two weeks ago, at a revival
in that place.
Will it be Observed in Waycross?--
The Governor’s Proclamation.
Monday, Sept 2d, is a state holiday.
It is a day made sacred to labor; the
festal day of the laboring man. Will it
be observed in Waycross?
Gov. Atkinson, in accordance with an
act of the legislature, has properly re
cognized the day by issuing a proclama
tion making it a state holiday. His
proclamation is as follows: - «
“Whereas, the general assembly of the
state has established Labor Day and des
ignated the first Monday in September
in each year to be observed as a holiday
for that purpose; now, therefore, I, W.
Y. Atkinson, governor of said state, do
hereby recommend and request that on
Monday, Sept. 2, 1895, the factories, of
fices, stores and other places where labor
s employed, be closed, and that as far as
practicable opportunity be given all who
labor to celebrate the day in a manner
befitting the purpose to which it is dedi
cated. The executive -departments will
be closed on said day.
Three Little Girls in Blue.
We have all heard about the “Two
Little Girls in Blue” but Mr. and Mrs.
Will Folks come to the front this
morning with three little girls. Yester
day there was one little girl at the Folks
residence, this morning there are three,
and what makes it the more interesting
the fact that it is Mrs. Folks’ twen
tieth birthday. The three little girls
and the mother are all well, and we take
advantage of the occasion to publicly
congratulate our good ’friend on his good
luck. When notified last night that
there was another girl in the family, Will
remarked “Great Scott that’s two!” when
Dr. Gus informed him a little later that
there was still another little girl in the
family, it is said that the boy fainted.
Ladies and gentlemen, Will Folks : s
the father of three girls. May they live
long and prosper.
Communication From a Citizen.

The Sonth Georgia Again.
The Herald learns that Mr. Newbern,
an old typo of the Herald office, and a
newspaper man of experience, will again
call into life the “South Georgia” at
Douglas.
The South Georgia will be a populist
paper, as formerly, and may be removed
to W ay cross. W e would like to see Mr.
Newbern make a living, but we “aint”
pulling to any great extent for the “South
Georgia.”
Kettle Creek Cemetery.
All parties interested are notified to
meet at Kettle Creek cemetery on Thurs
day, day after tomorrow, for the purpose
of cleaning np the grounds and putting
the graves In order.
A Storm Coming.
The West India storm, first reported
on August 22, had reached Havana last
night, and is moving north. It will
strike the West Florida coast and pass
along the Atlantic coast
Mr. Hubbard Explains.
We publish the following explanation
from Mr. Hubbard in regard to an arti
cle which recently appeared in the Flor
ida Citizen and Savannah Morning
News, and which we reproduced in yes
terday’s Herald. That Mr. Hubbard is
due the community an apology there
seems to be no question, and if the pub
lic is satisfied with his . explanation the
Herald is:
Editor Herald:
I wish to say that in mv article on
gambling in Waycross, it was my pur
pose to expose the evil so that the au
thorises might see the necessity of mak-
g extra efforts to suppress it.
I had received so many strong testi
monies as to the extent and progress of
gambling here, that I felt it my duty to
make a truthful exposure of the matter,
for the welfare and betterment of the
town. It was not my intention to. say
that many people here weie guilty of
;ambling.
I regret that the impression has ob
tained from my article that there is any
gambling in the parlors in Waycross.
is, therefore, plain that my ouly in
tention was to be instrumental in the
suppression of evil.
Leighton W. Hubbard.
Waycross, Ga., Aug. 28, ’95.
from, I ’ludes to,” the Waycross corres
pondent of the Citizen must have some
reason for trying to firmly establish in
the. minds of those unacquainted, or
away from Waycross, the false idea that
Waycross is :v modern blind tiger gin
mill with a Monte Carlo attachment.
We say this must be the intention, be
cause the trend of his writings recently
have been almost wholly on this line.
We said that the effort must he in
tended for those “away from or unac
quainted with Waycross” because no one
that is acquainted with the facts or the
place can he made to believe one word
of it.
N.;w, why this effort? If it does n t
exist in fact, there must be some cause
for so much unwarranted fiction.
Is it animus against the town or peo
ple ? If not this, or if the last analysis
of the effort were not this, then would it
not be showing a more friendly spirit to
either not hatch up something not true,
or pass over such as would do wrong ?
Is it an effort at martyrdom? To
stand, as it were, at the telegraph office
and shout a warning to those looking
this way, to turn hack/on account of the
dangerous environments. If that be the
motive, then a less expensive and more
commendable way would be to go before
the courts and furnish the proof of their
existence. The schedule of these re
ports certainly seem to belie the state
ment they are sent for “space” articles
because in some of them it is said th®
city is paying for detectives to do the
work; yet, here’s a man who prefers
writing for less money than detectives get,
just going about full up (well nigh to
bursting point) with information that is
oing at a premium.
There can be no i onsistency in them,
because they lack the element of fact;
and further, one day we are full of these
things, the next, the most religious and
law-abiding people extant!
It cannot be martyrdom, because the
necessary adjunct to such an effort has
cot been taken.
Can it be animus? God forbid that
anyone could do such an ingratitude.
It is true that free speech is warranted,
but should it be exercised when it
creates lalse impressions ? That it should
not is plain, and we trust that the wrong
may be righted, so far as said corres
pondent can." W.

Kill Your Fish.
Agassiz always taught his pupils to
kill fish as soon as caught, by a blow on
the back of the head, that they might
not buffer before' dying. Such fish keep
better, and are better to eat; and the
best fishermen in Europe and America
always kill their fish as soon as they
catch them, by a blow on the back of
the head. Humane persons may kill
fish wo r ms instantly by plunging them
in a dish of boiling water, and so giving
the fish cooked worms instead of raw.
