It is the duty of every person who has used Boschee’s German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthipa, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without immediate relief. Three doaeswHI relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Drug*, gists to rocommend it to the poor, dying consumpiti ve, at least to try one bottle, as 80.000 detembottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed- was reported.

The merchants of this town claim that all they want is an equal showing with the merchants of Savannah, and that they will sell goods cheaper. Miss Lizzie Leak wood returned to Savannah yesterday evening. She is a clever young lady and will return to Waycross on a visit next month to see her many friends. Mrs. Nungeizer, at Mrs. Tatem’s boarding house, wants all the sew ing and dress-making she can get.

Miss Jannie Spence returned to her home in Mitchell county, this Johnnie Sharp was looking in “his book,” yesterday, to find out, if he could, which one of "his girls’ he should.carry on the excursion to-morrow.

The Baxley Banner claims to have more subscribers in Coffee county and to give more Coffee county news than any other paper in this section. The Baxley Ban ner might feel cheaper than it real ly is if it was driven to the wall with contradictory proof. We are no idle babbler, The Headlight excursion will leave here to-morrow about ten o’clock, a. m., Brunswick at half past one. You can then hare the afternoon to visit St. Simon’s. island, look at Brunswick, stny all night awhile, and leave for Fernandina on Fri day, 27th at 7.30 in the morning, returning in time to take passage on the night train on the B. & \V. homeward. Boat tickets for Fer nandina can hc-’purehased here or in Brunswick. Our esteemed Saussy corres pondent sent ns a poem one or two weeks ago, and owing to a press on our columns we could not pub lish it then, but intended to do so. The very next week we saw the identical poem in an exchange, which circulates here. Did the lady become ofiended with us for neglect, as she thought, and favor It is hoped the school house, which is far on the way to com pletion will take a new boom now. Mr. J. R. Knight is certainly in the right pew now. His affable dis position and courteous attention fit him for a hotel man. The young man nlludcd to as the one who marked the advertise ment of the’Grand Central Hotel, denies that he did it. We accept the denial. We publish a communication to day trom a man who has been “taking in” Waycross. It is a good thing once in awhile to see ourselves us others see us. Plenty of time to buy your tickets for the boat if you intend going on the excursion, in Bruns wick. Or if you prefer it you can buy from Captain Stanton, in Way- cross. Mr. M. A. Thomas and his bride will go with us to Fernnndina to morrow. Asberrv Thomas is as true a friend and accomplished gentleman is ever lived. We know what we have said. J. R. Knight, at the Sntilla house, is building up a fine business, and his house is growing in public fa vor every day. Reasonable rates, nice comfortable rooms, first-class fare and courteous attention is what is doing this. 4t. Prof. S. P. Settles says: “It makes but little difference how long God may let me remain on ; this earth, but long or short, when I look back on the stream of time, in thanks to my maker, I bless the day I became a citizen of Way- cross, and enjoyed an association with her noble hearted people.” Thank yon, sir. The colored Sunday Schools of this place had a Union Celebration last Friday, and by their good be havior and excellent singing show ed how they were making advance ments in all that tends to make good citizens. An excellent and well written report has been pre pared by their number,, but the packed condition of our columns prevents its appearance. Ordinary Lott want’s to know if one slipper slipped out of his bug gy into our office and cost twenty- five cents, how much will it cost for the whole family to slip into onr office and leave a slipper. Don’t know, but we used to caich a slipper when we lay abross our garandmother’s lap pretty oiten, without paying anything. We danced a jig, afterward, however. BURGE. ART. Two negroes broke into Mr. Wm, Martin’s store, at Hoboken, last Monday night, and “got nv ay” with some money and a few other val uables. Mr. Martin captured one of them, and Sheriff Henderson nabecd John Henry, the other one, yesterday morning. Some money was recovered., Another je vel hath besn placed in our. Savior’s crown,another voice hath joined the Heavenly .choir, and another pair of hearts are leaning toward the Master, whither the white-winged mes senger hath bourne their treasure. “And He said unto them: Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven 1” THE SCHOOL HOUSE. Work on the school house was temporarily, suspended for want of lumber during part of the past week, and it may be, that the Com mittee is out of money. Now, this should not be. Those who haye not paid in the money, ought to do so at once. This is an enterprise that should not be allowed to lag ) in any measure, until the building is made ready for the reception of and arrive at a school. our more fortunate contempora THE TT. C. T. C. The Woman’s Christian Tem perance Union, organized in Way- cross by Mis3 Jenn ie Smith, w ill hold its first meeting for a more perfect organization at the Meth odist church, next Thnrsday after noon promptly. at half past five o’clock. Those who were elected officers are especially requested to be present, and all interested are cordially invited to attend, irre spective of denomination. The work of this organization is one that appeals to the hearts of all Christian women, who realize that systematized nnited effort can ac complish great good for “Godand (I.OSU OF THE WAYCROSS HIGH SCHOOL. This school closed its session last Friday, - all the scholars showing uumistakable evidence of the superior teaching through which they had attained such perfection. At night speeches, dialogues and some other at tractions, including a fan drill, was given to an appreciative audience. After deducting ex penses, the proceeds of this en tertainment went to th6 school house fund, and from the num ber of persons present, one would think the whole town was anxious to contribute some thing toward the building. The oration, by Hon. W. G. Brantley, of Pierce, was one of the finest we ever heard deliverd. It was not one of thoso high-flown harrangnes that is often indulg ed in ntgcboolcommencements and closings, but was plain, in structive and brilliant. If pos sible, this talented gentleman won for himself fresh laurels, while his rich decriptive powers were frequently the cause of ap plause, and his veins of humor sparkled like dimonds set in a becoming background. We do not hesitate in pronouncing Mr. Brantley one of the most brilliant young men of Georgin. Each scholar acquitted him or herself with credit to themselves, much- pride to their preceptor pleasure to their parents and deserve special mention, but space will not allow such a pro ceeding. Prof. Settles will open the Waycross District High School at Waresboro next Monday, May 30, where, we doubt not, lie will meet with the success that has attended him in Waycross. «He is a fine teacher and deserves the patronage of all who have children to fit for the avenues of life. In addition to the reg ular rotine of school practice, which only fits children for life, he has recently tasted of the waters of purity through an immaculate Redeemer, and so joyous has this new departure been to him that he now reminds the scholar of his or her duty to their creator. Thus, it is, that the training of the young minds are not only how to live, but how to die.” The Headlight wishes Prof. Settles success in his new field of labor, and commends him to its many readers there as a gen tleman who will never betray a trust, or prove unworthy of con fidence. We can do no more. BBOBETED MISUXDKRSTAXMXO, The Mcichants of Waycross complain that the S., F. & W. R. R. has practiced discriminations between themseves and the inert- chants of Savannah that are un fair and at a meeting last week in the court house at this place, resolutions were passed asking that these discriminations in favot. pf^Savannah b* discontin ued. It is oloimed-tfiat-the mer chants of Savannah'are allowed to sell goods and ship them free of freight, (to themselves or tlio buyer) to any point on the road to employees of the road, while, a Waycross merchant sells a bill of goods to an employee of said road any where on the Chatta hoochee or Jacksonville division freight is charged and collected. This is one of the points maije and proof, it was cited, could be brought, to prove this matter. Again, it is claimed, a friend of an employee of that road may order goods in the same bill with the employee, from Savan nah, the whole shipment is sent out free of freight. While, a prominent merchant says, the road. is not to blame for favoring its employees, the difference made in favor of Sa vannah against Waycross, not only injures the business here, but cuts off all trade below this point. A Savannah merchant can not sell goods cheaper than the Waycross merchant can but they can ship them to apoint on the Jacksonville or Chatohoachee roads free of freight, while the Waycross merchant must pay freight from Savannah here and then pay to points further off.. The Savannah merchant never pays, one dollar freight on goods to the road; he re ceives them from New York by' steamer and ships them on the road without cost. •Col. Haines is a man of very broad and comprehensive views, and it is believed will remedy any wrong existing in the premises. The employees of the road in this place are numerous, and after the meeting of the merchants, we learn, a resolution, with a fine at tached has been circulated among themselves, pledging each signer not to trade with the merchants of Waycross. This is a deplorable state of af fairs, and the Headlight regrets very much to see the main factions of the town arrayed against each other, and -lihcerely hopes Borne plan may be speedily devised to bring order out of chaos. Without the merchants our town would be a poor place for any per son except a railroad man to dwell, without the railroad the town would never have become what it now is. Both sides believe they have done fairly, and both sides seem determined to contend for n change. The merchants claim that they think they should be allowed to sell goods to these railroad men on the divisions named as cheap as Savannah does, and it is said the freight charged an employee who buys from Waycross is all that pre vents him doing so. A barrel of flour costs a man ten miles west of here twenty-five or fifty cents freight if bought in Waycross, but jf bought in Savannah there is no freight charged. orning.
