Mr. B. D. Daugtery, who has

only the kind attention of the

skillful service of Dr. Redding, with
perhaps, his own prayers, has
brought him through his tedious
confinement thus far. He has our
wishes for a speedy restoration to

The Union Pacific railway sys

which arc cashed at the ticket of

Mr. James Bell, an employe of

morning and killed. lie was

The number of people killed by
railroads last year was 416 Ttie
number of passengers transported
last year was over 350,000,000.
You can easily see from these fig

A freight train on the S., F. &.
W. It. R. had divided in two sec
tions last Sunday morning near
the 66 mile post, in order to get up
a grade when the rear section run

Florida tourists are pushing the
railroads leading to that State to
find sufficient accomodations for
them now. Trains on the Coast
line and Savannah, Florida and
Western railway arc now crowded
to their utmost capacity. The
management of the latter road
says that the tourist business is
booming.
The Savannah, Florida and
Western railway offers to build,
equip and operate a branch line
to either Monticello or Tallahassee
on condition that a road is graded
to the Georgia line. If Monticello
should accept the condition she
would have to grade about ten
miles of road, and if Tallahassee,
were to accept it she would be
required to grade about twenty-
five miles.
The Louisville and Nashville
railroad will inaugurate a series of
cheap excursions to Florida points
from St. Louis, Evansville, Louis
ville and Cincinnati. March 2d,
9th, 16th, 23d and 30th are dates
fixed for departure. The tickets
will be good to return within thirty
days and will be sold at price of
tickets one way, limited rate, which
amounts to little over one cent per
mile.
YOU MILL HAVE BAD LUCK
If you fail to try to build up
W aycross.
%If you pretend one thing and
act another.
If you do not take your county
paper, pay for and read it
If you fail to give your pastor
every cent you have promised.
If you attempt to get through
life on some other person’s credit
If you make a habit of telling
better men than you are that they
have lied. Itis dangerous, we've
found.
If you fail to correct your own
faults while you are always point
ing out errors in the actions of a
neighbor.
If you get mad with a neighbor
because he won’t give you a stick
to break his head. Help yourself
—rely on self.
If you fail to pay as you/go.—
No man likes to pay for a pair of
pants after they are worn out, and
he is surprised if a last year’s
grocery bill comes up for payment.
Experience.
If you fail to buy the soda-wa
ter and chewing gum when your
best girl ‘insinuates. 1 She will
tell you at once that she can find
a fellow that will. It is expensive,
but you must grin and bear it.
If you pay too much attention
to another man’s wife. We knew
a man who received thirteen shot
in his side for telling another
man’s wife “that she had pretty
dimples on her chin.” Such is
life.
If you attempt to monopolize
a young lady’s time after some
other fellow has “paid her way.”—
We tried that once, and the results
were two black-eyes and a bloo ly

now lying, has been very ill for
the past few weeks. Two weeks
ago last Sunday night liis wife
died, in Pierce county, worn out,
perhaps, by incessant watching at
the bedside of her husband, and a
few days afterward the sick man
was brought here. Since that time
he lias hovered near the margin of
the “dark valley,” cared for and
tenderly nursed by relatives. Dis
ease aggravated by the death of his
faithful life-companion have
brought low the strong man.
while the populace of Waycross
watch and listen for cheering or
sad news from the sick one, with
the prayer upon their lips, “Thy
will—thy will alone, Oh, Lord, be
done, but if it be not so, let him
arise 1”

THE CAP PA11TT.
The entertainment gotten up by
the ladies of the Methodist Church
Aid Society at Krom’s Hall last
Friday night was a very enjoya
ble affair, and while the weather
inclement the receipts were;
quite satisfactory. The “cap”
part of the programme was a new
departvire to many, and capped
the climax for amusement. Thw
plan was simple: two caps were
made just alike, in trimming and.
color, and one was worn by the
lady making it, while the other
was put on sale, the buyer of'
which had the privilege of making
the lady wearing the ‘twin-cap’ hid
partner for the evening. With
some this worked well, but occa
sionally a capless lady could bo
seen, and this can be explained by
the surmise that some young or
old man whom she did not fancy
had bought the cap suiting the
one she wore, when, .as quick as
discovered, .the fair head was
bared, the cap missing, while the
luckless purchaser wandered aim
lessly around looking for a cap
like the one he owned. This, of
course, was a little fraudy, some
unhappy persons being compelled
to purchase more than one cap be*
fore they secured a partner, but if
so, it was a good cause, good hu
mor, good, clever purchasers, and
good-looking ladies who played ,
these clever games. The ladies
deserve much praise for theii un
faltering energy in getting up en
tertainments which tend to social
enjoyment and the furtherance of
the cause of God. We hope ^ to
have the pleasure of announcing
preparation for another at an ear
ly day. These columns are at the
service of the ladies at any time.
