the flood would roll on as if nothing

future generations may l>e pointed to

whom the Headlight wants to
take the “W. B. Folks monument”

privilege of “giving tribute to worth.”

will help roll it and there are hundreds
of otherr that will give a helping hand.

Mr. J. W. Mallon, one of our old and

The furniture house of J. E. Butler,

Only Half Alive.
There arc hosts of men and
women who, to coin a-plirase, are
only half alive. That is to say,-
thev have seidotn if ever any appe
tite, are nervous, weak, fidgetty
and troubled by nundierless small
pains and aches. In the presence
of vigorous, exuberant vitality
they seem mere pigmies. Such
persons are usually fond. of fre
quently dosing themselves, swal
lowing in the course of the year
enough drugs to stock any ap-othe-
enry’s shop of average dimensions.
This, of course, defeats instead of
furthering the end in view, viz.,

The train bearing this, the most dis-

day, passed through Waycross last
Saturday, about 11:35 a.‘ m. Ttlc no
tice of his intended arrival was not
sufficiently confirmed in xirae to allow
any preparation for his retention,
which was deeply deplored. The
Brass Band and all of our citizens who
had heard of his contemplative pas
sage through town were at the depot
when he came and with speech, flow
ers and a hearty yell greeted the repre
sentative of the “Lost Cause.” Mr.
Davis responded in few words at the
close of which cheers again rent the
He then seated himself on the
platform of the car and shook
hands with quite a number of our citi-
principally ladies. "When time
for departure arrived the Waycross
