is called. In this meeting the best
of harmony should prevail, for, by
your selection of delegates you de

have to fill the important offices
of the country. Personal ,preju-

good and true men should be se

Brother Peeples, and Mr. Para-
more, of Valdosta, were in town
last Monday, enroute to Bruns
wick.
The Headlight will compare
job work with any office in the
State outside of the cities, and
will not suffer.
The attendance at the Methodist
Sunday school, last Sunday, was
above an average. Even the chil
dren have been revived.
Lucius Lanier has been sick for
the past week, and is likely to re
main ill for tho next month. Too
many girls go to see him.
Mr. Wm. Parker, of Pearson,
says he had rather own property
in Waycross than in either Savan
nah or Brunswick. Experience.
The Headlight is for Bacon,
Gordon, or any other man that re
ceives the nomination. The peo
ple should decide this important
question.
Next Tuesday the Sheriff of
this county will sell some valua
ble lots of land in Ware Saw
mill and turpentine men, also
farmers and truck-growers should
be on band.
When we get an artesian well,
good school, an opera house,
a park, a military company and
a brie'
brick warehouse for the B. & W.
railroad we shall think that “there
is life in the old land yet.”
Rumor has it in the Darien Ga
zette “that Judge Mershon, Capt.
Bradwell, Congressman Norwood
and Judge Adams will'be candi
dates for Congress from the First
District, not including the many
“dark horses.”
The Darien Gazette, always lev
el-headed, says: . “The Gazette
will not “slop over” in politics
this year. It will give both sides
of the political question and will
bo tho partisan of none. From
our stand-point we believe this-is
tho true policy.”
Darien Gazette: “If the editor
of the Wayeross Headlight runs
for the legislature he will be elect
ed. He is competent and would
make a good representative.”—
Thanks, for the compliment, dear
brother, but we won’t ‘run’ for the
legislature, inasmuch as it requires
our undivided time to ‘run’ the
Headlight.
The Hinesville Gazette says:
The mills of tho Liberty County
Land and .Lumber company, at
Joselyn, have shut down. The
Messrs. Papot have giv. n up the
mills, and Mr. J. K. Clarke, repre
senting the company, is in posses
sion. This was a very important
cn terprise, and its suspension has
thrown many out of employment.”

ANOTHER FESTIVAL.
Mr. Weiss informs-us that he
will give a festival for the benefit
of the nrtesian well, at Oleman’s
hall on Thursday night, June 17.
He proposes to go into this mat
ter unaided, bearing the full ex-

Oaljr Half Alive.
’There are hosts of men and
women who, to coin a phrase, are
only half alive. That is to say,
they have seidom If ever any appe
tite, arc nervous, week, fidgetty
and troubled by numberless small
pains ahd 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 apothe
cary’s shop of average dimensions.
This, of course, defeats instead of
furthering the entl in view, viz.,
the recovery of health and vigor.
Were they to seek it from an un
failing source of vitality, Hustfit-
ter’s Stomach Bitters, how differ
ent would be their case. Then vi
gor would return to their debili
tated frames, the glow of health
to their wan cheeks, their trem
bling uncertain gait would grow
firm and elastic, appetite, that
grandest of all sauces, would give
a relish for the daily food, were it
ever so coarse, ami refreshing
sleep would, crown the tasks 1 of
the day.
LET VS HAVE A GOOD SCHOOL.
Mr. John W. Kellar, of Blackshear,
as in town last Tuesday, in answer to
1 advertisement for a school teacher,
of last week. He comes well "recom
mended by the school boards where he
has taught, and also has high recom
mendations from citizens of Blackshear.
pleased with our town and will
return next Monday to sound the prem-
regard to getting np a first-class
school, and we hope with success.
Press, learning that- this town
enjoying a religious revival, ex
presses a hope “that that fellow
Freeman may be benefitted.” Our
brother has our thanks for his so
licitude for our weUfare, and if wo
thought a revival would do him
good wc would invite him over,
but, alas! there’s no use. His
case is hopeless. . i
THE ART CLASS,
Mrs. Kimbrough’s Art Class,
composed of several* ladies and
Mieses of Waycross gave an exhi
bition of their work at the Baptist
church last Monday night to a
full house and delignted audience.
Rev. Mr. Whiting opened the ex
ercises with prayer after which
Miss Shine read the by-laws of the
organization, with its roll of actual
and honorary members. Mrs Kim
brough was then introduced and
read an exceedingly interesting
address on art and its attainments,
beauties, etc. At tho conclusion
of the lady’s address Col. McDon
ald took the floor and told what
he knew and what he didn’t know
about art His address sparkled
with wit and good humor, while
he hurled solid chunks of fun in
every direction, to ,the merriment
of the young and the satisfaction
of all.’
Among the attractions that
were particularly noticeable were
a life-size portrait of Rev. Mr.
Whiting’s mother, copied from a
faded photograph, by Miss Millar,
and also a portrait of Col. Mc-
'Donald, (life-size) from a photo
graph, and by the same person. A
Grecian scene—the crumbling
ruins so life-like, was-tilso from
the artistic brush of Miss Millar.
A handsome view on the bay of
Naples, by Mrs. W., H, Whitehead,
called ior favorable comment from
the audience, and this being her
first attempt on the easewhe was
highly complimented in our hear
ing.

THE PRODIGAL SOX. .
Last Sunday Presiding Elder Lloyd
delivered a telling, far-reaching serm'on
from this parable, which drew com
ments (all of his sermons do) as to the
arguments used. Nearly every person
to whom we have spoken on the sub
ject had heard sermons preached from
the same text, but all agreed that this
discourse ran in a different channel
from those before listened to. He de
scribed with acurate precision the jour
ney of the son into a far country, his
degradation, his misery, and last, but
most pathetic of all, his return to the
father. The reader can make the ap
plication, and then allowing that this
gentleman used /beautiful language,
plain and comprehensive, it is seen at
once, what an excellent sermon this '

A WORD U TIME.
The Headlight has no axes to grind
i the future wore of the campaign—it
has no favors to ask, no friends to re
ward, no enemies to punish—it wonts
only the support it shall deserve from
the people whom it delights to serve,
and will not bend its opinions to serve
any power. Should it decide to support
candidate and oppose another, it
will do so honestly, squarely, fairly,
exercising the privileges guaranteed
to individuals and the press—“freedom
of speech”—but will, under no circum
stances,, lend our aid to the slander of
cine and the elevation of another—our
friend, perhaps—by “ways that are
foul and means that are* dark.” In
other words we expect to “hew to the
line, let the chips fall where they may,”
closer than ever before, with justice to
all—favor to none.
In this connection we might also add
that our columns are open for the “an
nouncement cards” of candidates who
desire to run for office, for which
shall require the fee of five dollars—
money down—but the payment of this
ambuitt, nor the support of-the candi
date does not entitle him to our en
dorsement. In this matter we have

artistic skill and attractive beauty.
A picturesque view on Hudson
river, N. Y., was the handiwork of
Miss Mattie Williams. She has
the genius of an artist.
There were other articles and
persons too, that deserve special
mention, but we have only space to
add that the progress of this class
since its organization last March
has been wonderful, and that it
should receive the highest endorse
ment of the people of Way cross.
