Dr. Whitehead: In the year 18781
was attacked with a severe case of
Blood Boison that defied all treatment.
I went to several Physicians but found
no relief. Finally I went before a board
of Physicians at Tallahassee and was
examined and my case was declared to
be a virulent case of Blood Poison, and
all the medicines they gave me failed
to eradicate the dreaded disease and
my life was in danger. I losrt the
of my left arm and a physician at : this
place said
amputated,
from the various sores was so offensive
that I disliked to come in contact with
friends and neighbors. I \ooft 32 bot
tles of an Atlanta Blood Purifier, also
a lot made in Baltimore, and in fact
everything that I could hear of but re
ceived no benefit. I had entirely de-
S aired when your General Agent, Mr.
arkson, came here advertising the
P. P. p. (Prickly-ash, Poke-root and
Potassium) and induced me to give it a
trial. I got one large bottle, took it
and'one and a half small ones, and the
various sores have healed entirely and
the new skin has a clear, healthy color,
and my general health is better than it
has been before in ten years. I consid
er it the grandest Blood Medicine of the
age, as such a small amount shows its
wonderful effects. I am agent of the
F. R. A N. R. R. at this place Green
ville, Fla., and take ^reat pleasure in
recommending a medicine’ that has per
formed such wonders for me. Resp’ly
yours.

VALEDICTORY.
Farewell is a sad word. It is a
word at the speaking of which
fond hearts have been saddened,
arid which i£ after yeafs^bnngd>e~
fore our mind’s eye memories of
pleasure before it was spoken.
For more than two years we
have mingled with the patrons of
the paper and have, with what en.
ergy we could command with their
aid, given them a good paper
which was evidence that we were
trying to please, while the support
received was proof that our efforts
were applauded.
In resigning the editorial man
agement of the Headlight into
the hands of our successor, we re
turn it to the one from whom it
was received. With an experience
of twenty-one years he is able to
take care ol‘ the interests of the
patrons of the paper. Through
the past years” ot the paper’s exis
tence Mr. Freeman has stood at
his post as a dutiful pilot at the
helm, as foreman, printer, associ
ate and friend, and when in the
thickest of the fights through
which we have gone, when suc
cess or disaster threatened, we
have seen his cheek grow pale be
neath the strain, still, we were al
| also one of the best Job printing j
offices in the State we have no
fears as to our ability to perform
all the work desired and at prices
and in style that compete with the
city offices. Inasmuch as our
bread depends on this particular
department we hope the public
isy find it advantageous to favor
us with heavy orders while we
look to advertisers and the sale of
old papers for something to wear,
because the subscription price of
the Headlight only pays for the
paper^lpdVwhirtHt is printed:
Mr. Wm. Parker, the present
proprietor and business manager,
is an old newspaper man, having
originally owned the Coffee Coun
ty Gazette from which sprang the
Headlight, and is at home among
the people of this section, because
their interest is his interest. He
has sufficient means to improve
the office to meet any emergency,
therefore, our patrons are assured
of our ability to perform any con
tract undertaken.
The course of the paper in the
future will be just as it has been
in the past two years—bold and
fearless, with a sufficient amount
of conservatism to make it the
champion of the people—the slave
of the right and the enemy of the
wrong. Ware, Clinch, Pierce,
Coffee and Charlton counties, are
mainly our territory, and over the
interests of these people we shall
keep watch, for with their weal or
woe we must fail or ^ucceed.
To the gentleman of the press
with whom we have parried many
a lance we wish a happy new
year, trusting that our relations
ways certain of his service. We
relinquish our hold on him as a I uay ' be of the friendlist kind
i__ • i j a_ 1 . ...
If anybody is dissatisGed with
the acts of the town council and
want to vent their spleen through
this paper they can do so at the
rate of ten dollars a column. We
can’t “tear ’em up” for less, but- if
any person desires to offer sug
gestions on topics relating there
to which will benefit the public we
are at their service. The council,
like individuals, may cominit er
ror, but like individuals, it may
correct them. Wait and scei
A negro by the name of Cooper
was sentenced to be hanged at Da-
brother, for he is bound to us in
memories that can never be oblit
erated. Then as he is already
known to many of our patrons as
well as the jpress of Georgia, we
can say no more than that he has
been tried and was not found
wanting—his virtues overshadow
his faults.
Mr. Wm. Parker, the present,
proprietor, is known to many of
our patrons as a solid, energetic
business man, and an experienced
newspaper manager. As a finan
cier he has few superiors and he
has added much to our town in
the way of improvements on real
estate. We have said th&£much
to show the reader tfriltihi had
come to stay—is a citizen of Way-
cross and is identified with her
progress and peace. We are safe
in transfixing the Headlight; to
his keeping, then, and wish for
him the patronage of the people
of Ware, Pierce, Clinch, and Charl
ton counties, as it was given to us.
For the gentlemen.of the press

road. Our representative’s name
is mentioned in connection with

alleging that it is evidently some
Norwood, from the West.
The gentlemen of the Waycross
Reporter, in writing an elaborate

doing a very large business in a
mighty small house, It should
have been 43x70, and then tho.

they propose to carry on. Be more

James M. Freeman.
The old and new editors having
had a say I venture a few remarks,
too. I bought the Headlight for
good many reasons: First,
because it U a remunerative enter
prise when correctly conducted,
and this 1“ propose to sec done.—
Second, because it is located in a
reading, appreciative center.—
Third, because I felt that I made
a mistake when I sold the Cof
fee County Gazette. The late
proprietors have improved it in all
of its branches, and I am safe in
saying that the Waycross Head
light Job Office can turn off as
good work as any office in the
State, and in older to merit the
sympathy and support of the pub
lic I shall endeavor to please, so
far as in my power it may be, as
to publishing a good paper, i
have good printers, good presses,
good editor, plenty of type,
and plenty of mo like to have
said money, but will take that
back.

At last a movement is on foot
to bring the “round-house” of the
S., F. & W. Ry. to this place ; —the
work has actually been commenc
ed, and will, we are reliably in
formed, be pushed to an early
completion. Building material,
machinery and other evidences
that gladden the hearts of those
who have long and anxiously
waited for the consummation of
this event, have arrived, and are
still coming. When completed
this will ba a “large size card” to
our vigorous little town. A few
years ago Waycross was & way*
station, now it has between three
and five thousand inhabitants
and the impetus given by the ac
quisition of tho “ro«nd-house”
will start another boom.
SALUTATORY.
Messrs. Lanier & Youmans have
our thanks for all they have said
concerning us, and we devoutly
hope we have deserved it all. For
the past two years we have tried
to give satisfaction, and if we did
wiongat any time—if we wounded
their feelings by our acts it was
not intentional—’fcwas our head,
not the heart.
In again assuming editorial con
trol of the ..Headlight, we do so
with a determination to use our
heartiest efforts in keeping it up
to the standard in journalism it
has attained under the guidance of
its late proprietors, and in doing
so we shall have less to contend
with than the gentlemen spoken
of had, because we intend to seek
their sympathy and advice in the
premises as far as they will favor
us.
In the transfer of the Head
light we have also purchased the
privilege of serving in fntnre its
patrons of the past. We shall
spare no pains or trouble in giving
them a first-class paper, and having

DUPONT. GEORGIA.
We did not have time last week
to publish an account of the mu
nicipal election of the wide-awako
little town. The election resulted
as follows:
For Mayer—J. P. A. DuPont.
Aldermen—L. L. DuPont, Isbin
Tomlinson, J. J. Jones, A. Gill,
E. S. Sirmans.
H. B. Jenkins, marshal, Joseph
Sihnans, clerk, A. B. Caskell,
treasurer, were elected as town of
ficers.
Mayor DuPont, and his efficient.
officers are too well known to re
quire any comment from us. They
are identified with the town’s
growth and welfare, and it goes
without saying that they will dis
charge their respective duties.
FALSE RUMOR.
We learn that the impression
has gone out to the public that
Messrs. Lanier & Youmans had
sold out their Stationery and Jew- .
elry business when they sold the
Headlight, which is not true, and
we hasten to correct such an erro
neous report. The conveyance in
cludes only the printing office,
etc., and those wide-awake jewel
ers and gentlemen are still honors
to our town. The reason they
had was: To concentrate their en
