The name of Hon. L. A. Wilson,
of whom mention has been made
before in these columns, is pre
sented to-day for Ware county’s
legislative representative in the
State’s next General Assembly. In
looking around over the legisla
tive timber of the county we fail
to rind one in whom the honor
and interests of our people could
better be placed than in the hands
of L. A. Wilson. A Georgian, a
citizen of Ware, one raised among
our people, he knows their wants
and has the ability and energy to
contend for them, therefore, he is
the right man. This is the kind
of a man we present for your con
sideration, and ask the support of
his fellow-citizens in the coming
election.
SAMUEL DUNLAP, OP ATLANTA, OA.
The excellent picture we present at
the head of this column, is of a man
who is as well and favorably known in
his capacity as a traveling man or a
“drummer’’ as one man in the United
States.
Mr. Dunlap said in conversation re
cently: “About four years ago I had
a severe attack of rheumatism, which
completely disabled me for a time, and
developed into what is commonly call
ed “chronic” attacking me when least
expected, andlfljing mo up entirely;
'ncapacitating me for any kind of busi
ness, and causing me as much suffering
in a day as should be crowded in a life
time. After one of my most severe at
tacks, and when I had just got able to
hobble around, I met J. M. Hunnicutt,
and he said he could make a remedy
that would cure me, and by gracious, he
did. I took two bottles of his stuff, pre
pared from roots and herbs, and I have
never had a twinge of rheumatism
since. The medicine was not prepared
for sale at that time, but was manufac
tured for Mr. Hunnicutt for his friends.
About six months ago It was decidec
to place it upon the market, and a firm
was organized for that purpose. * r *—
weeks ago in the midst of my suffer w
noted in one of their advertisements
that it was good for kidney troubles
also. I knew it would cure rheumatism
and I bought a half a dozen bottles at
oiice and determined to give it a fair
show at a Kidney disease of long stand
ing. It may seem extravagant, but the
first day’s use gave me relief, and be
fore I bad taken one bottle my disagree-
‘ *e symptons had, entirely disappear-
_ I have used two bottles up to this
time and I have not felt a trace of my
plaining mill and variety wood
shops. Their house is nearly done
and the machinery has arrived.—
Success to you, gentlemen.
The fast mail was not on time
last Thursday and Friday, the
very days when we desired to get
the returns from three counties that
had elected delegates. When you
are in the biggest hury you make
the sorriest time.
Mr. Stanton, a brother of Capt,
V. L. Stanton, is on a visit to Way-
cross. He is a native of Charles
ton, S. C., hut now and then comes
to sco us, making new friends, ce
menting old ties, and taking the
pleasures of life as they come. He
is riot only ft gentleman of refine
ment, hut a poet of no mean qual
ities, which if used will win him
distinction.
An entertainment will he given at
Saussy tomorrow night for the
benefit of a monument to Dr. W .B.
Folks, late of this town deceased.
Thes suggestion was first put forth
by the Headlight, and we are de
lighted to learn has been taken up
by our friends in that direction.
We published a letter last week
from a subscriber in that section
announcing this fact, but our time
was so short that it was impossible
to add any comment on the sub
ject nor was it needed, for the peo
ple of South Georgia knew Dr.
Folks and they knew his unsefiisli
character, and they know, too, that
aid should he given to any meas
ure that tends to perpetuate his
memory. Patronize the entertain
ment at Saussy, let others be got
ten up and we shall yet see a large

THE ARTESIAN WELL.
The people of Waycross, in fact
everybody interested in the future
health and prosp.rity of the town,
are requested to meet at the court
house to-morrow evening, 3 o’clock,
for the purpose of making full
and complete arrangements for
the boring of an artesian well.—
Cominittees must be appointed for
the different duties in connection
therewith, and it is necessary,
therefore, that a full attendance
should respond. It is not neces
sary that we should go into de
tails in reciting the advantages
and manifold blessings that will
come to us by the completion of
this well, fot we have attempted
to. do so in previous articles. Al
bany and Brunswick, our sisters,
to whom we are bound with bands
of steel, have made mighty leaps
in the race of progress by this
means, and why should we, be
tween the. two; repose in idleness
and let our town die down for the
want of eriergy.

The buildings are handsome, made
of the best materials, wood and
brick, and the machinery is all new
and of an improved pattern. This
railroad has also in course of con
struction a commodious wharf on
the bay, which will allow them to
more rapidly handle f tHeir business
in loading and unloading cars and
ships. In additionTAthis, the en
ergetic managers of that road have
just received, or will .soon receive,
one hundred and fifty tons of new
steel-rails, which will be put down
soon as practicable.
The water-works and gas-works,
under construction were visited,
but inasmuch as we know but lit
tle about these things—water and
gas—we will write theta up on
‘omo other trip.
Brunswick is destined to be a
great place, there is ho use of at
tempting to dodge that, for her pe •
pie are full of energy. -The sale
and improvement of Cumberland
and Jekyle islands will add to. her
importance, because she is near
them, and visitors to those islands,
as well as to other points in her vi
cinity, are bound to be attracted
by her great natural resources,
matchless artesian water and beau
tiful location.
The two artesian wells, (the lar-
■ ;es£ of which throws a stream of
ron-magnesia-sulphur-watcr suffi
cient almost to turn a water wheel)
are worth of themselves over a
million dollars to the city, and in
a short while when the water and
gas-pipes have been laid the little
gem by the silvery waters will have
reached a front rank with the pro
gressive cities of the South.
This article would not be com
plete if we should fail to note our
meeting with G. Cranberry Fol
som, of the Breeze, and his moth
er. Cranberry was 'dreaming and
talking about a twelve pound ar
rival at his house a few days since,
and Wanted to know if it was not a
‘jolly tiring to be the father of
bouncing baby boy,” but we reserve
an answer until a skirmish
with the baby, paragoric and the
colic at the hour.of midnight,
We sorrow that wo have not
space to write more about Brun
swick.
In view of the pleasures that we
enjoyed on tins trip,,we suggest an
excursion from Waycross to Brun
swick at an early day. The arte
sian water the gas and waterworks,
the view and inspection of the
shipping in harbor, and many oth
er things that would go to make a
visit pleasant and profitable. This
can be _ done, and if a desire is
shown for an excursion parties can
be found who will take the matter
in hand and get up a big jolly
crowd.
