was unstantaneous, or not, we are
uot informed, but the wounded
man is dead. Sheriff Henderson
will please investigate the matter,
and if he finds that a murder has
been committed about an aligator,
lock the fellow up; he is dangerous.

Mr. T. B. Marshall, of Coffee

a visit to Florida, came to see us
last Saturday He has been Presi
dent of the Suuday School District
Association, composed of the five
adjacent counties, for one or two

elected or appointed, with. Mr.

who know these gentleman can at

OUR CEMETERY.
The Headlight never sounds
an alarm nor give3 its readers
warning about anything that is
not for the advancement of the
general community. At this time
in the progress of our town it ap
pears that the people have almost
forgotten the unhappy condition
into which the cemetery has
grown. The interments have
been very numerous since the
enclosure now used was laid off,
and now, except in reserved blocks

fence corners, as it were, and in
other irregular shapes. This is
all wrong, and if allowed to con
tinue will some day, cause morti
fication and shame to mantle the
cheeks of the relative when they
see that the resting places of dear
ones have become a mass of con
fused graves, laid off with no eye
to regularity or beauty, and with
out any provisions for the inter
ments that follow each year.
We suggest to the owners of the
adjoining lands that an addition
be made to the cemetery—the rap
id growth of Waycross demands
it. Five or six acres will he small
enough for a decent “city of the
dead,” and While we thine the
owner of this land would act with
wisdom if such an addition should
be made, we do n^t say it should
be done without remuneration.—
Divide the tract up into small lots
20x30 feet, at such a price as would
be sufficient to cover the value of
the land. Of course, it would be
proper to surround the enclosure
with a substantial fence, lay the
lots off in squares, with walks and
room for hedges when, we opine,
the people will feel grateful for
the privilege of securing decent
places forth© burial of the remains
of those whose spirits are resting
“ ’neath the trees beyond the
river.”
The time has come when some
thing must be done. If the above
i3 not practicable, the present able
council caft immortalize itself, so
to speak, by purchasing a trae 4 ;
of laud as above suggested, wRh a
price set upon each plat that Will
pay for recording deeds, etc. To
avoid confusion the lots, whatever
size they may be, should be num
bered iu regular size—same as dis
tricts—and a plan of the same
kept for the inspection of purchas
ers. As a matter of course, an
acre, or some amount should be
reserved for paupers, and in the
sale of family lots an amount to
cover the cost of this land should
be calculated.
We do not wish to be deemed
dictatorial in this matter, but the
beauty of a cemetery, and the car<
shown in the condition of the
graves adds much to the fair name
of a town and people.
A BOLD BAD -MAN. *
One day last week a negro nam
ed Joe Smith went to Jesup -and
after “cusring out things” gener
ally, cut a woman severely in the
arm. The .officers got after him
when he mounted rim engine on
the S., F. & W. R. R. in an effort to
escape. A few miles from town
engineer Crawford tried to put the
negro off his engine When he showed
fight and cut the engineer. Mr.
Crawford then, in self defense, shot
the intruding desperado dead.
THE COLUMBUS SOUTHERN.
The engineer’s locating corps of

Saturday the} T located the line. It
will run paralial with the S. W R.
R., east of it along the western
boundary of the city park, will
connect with the B. <fe W. R. R.
The engineers state that there is
still much ent husiasm along the
line of road and that it is now a
certainty. It is a fraction less than
87 miles from thi3 place to Colum
bus, and they are much pleased
with the country, through which it
will run, thinking it will open up a
line section on the north of Albany.

CHILDREN’S DAY—MAY 15TH.
The last General Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church;
South, which met in Richmond,
Va., May 1886/ordered: “That the
third Sunday in May be set apart
as “Childern’s Day,” to be observed
thronghout our Church with ap
propriate services, and on that day
a collection to be taken up for
the aid of needy Sunday-schools.”
In accordance with*this direc
tion of the General Conference next
Sunday will be observed as “Chil
dren’s Day” in Waycross, and ap
propriate services will be held at
the Methodist Church at II o’clock.
We would be glad to have all the
children of the town meet with us
at that hour. Let parents and
friends show their appreciation by
attending. All should come pre
pared to contribute something
“for the aid of needy Sunday-
Schools.”

IN THE JAWS OF DEATH.
The New Orleans express, leav
ing Thoinasville last Wednesday
at 1:17 was running along at ths
rate of forty miles an hour between
Cairo and Whigham, when the en
gineer (Jenkins locomotive 63) on
approaching Big Tide creek dis
covered a man making his way
over the trestlework. Finding that
he would not have time to get
across ahead of the swiftly ap
proaching train, the man, a stout
individual, endeavored to drop be
tween the tics so as to hold on by
his hands while the^train should
pass over him. To the horror of
the engineer, however, the man
caught by the waist and hung there
between the rails with his head and
shoulders sticking up, an object of
certain, destruction if the train
should strike him. Engineer Jeu-
kings aprang off his seat, jammed
the air-brakes down as tightly as
they could be put on and reversed
his huge engine, one of the largest
on the road, and “pulled Iter open.”
The man’s cries were described as
fearful as he hung there awaiting
almost certain death, and his feel
ings can perhaps never be described.
He must have died mentally a doz
ed times, but almost miraculously
the No. 63 came to a stop hissing
and trembling when the ponderous
cowcatcher was within three fee 1 ;
ot the unfortunate man. He waa
rescued from his perilous position,
and whent his way rejoicing at his
almost miraculous escape. But
for Engineer Jenkins’ prompt and
efficient efforts and and his earn
and watchfullness the man, whose
name is unkuown, would have
diecha most horrible death. As it
is, he will hardly care to venture
upon such another experiment as
crossing a trestle ahead of an ex
press train again soon.
SOHETHING STRANGE.
Some three or four weeks ago
the “lady we board with,” put one
of her hens to setting, on twelve
eggs, and some other hens layed
three or four eggs, to the setter,
but in due time the industrious old
hen came off with eleven littjo
biddies. There were ieft uv the
test four eggs unhatched, which
were supposed to be rotten, ami
were consequently buried on Fri
day. Passing along by where
the eggs were buried last Thursday,
six days afterward the yelping of
animation, and digging away the
dirt, a young biddie was ushered
into the sunshine. When discov
ered only its head was in view, .
the body being still undergrownd.
Is this a case of suuhatching. The
chicken as we write is eating
crumbs on our office table.
ALL DAY LONG AT BLACKSHE.VR
Verily, it seems that the Spirit
of a Merciful Creator is moving
upon the hearts of His people in
Southern Georgia. Take up a
paper published iu any part of this
country and you read mention of
the spread of the egligious flame
that seems to be spreading all over
the land. Last Sunday Miss Jennie
Smith hold an all day’s moating at
Biaekshear, with fruitful results—»
the people seeming to take an inter
est in the salvation of souls. Such
a favorite has this earnest lady
worker become with the people
that her name is sufficent to raise
a feeling cf enthusiasm with those
who know her, and some twenty-
five or thirty of our people went
down to Biaekshear to witness her
triumphs iu the cause ot Jesus and
the salvation of man, and.they
all returned enthused, because of
the well-spent day.
THE GOSPEL IN LIVE OAK.
A correspondent writing to the
Jacksonville Tiiues-Union aayu:
“Rev. J. B Culpepper left this
