Waycross. Mr. Davis claims that
he committed the crime with
which he stands accused, in self
defence, and asks tlie people’s
prayers that his prosecutors’ hearts
may be softened to give him only
Justice. Surely, a just God will
hear prayer for justice, and if this
is all the young man aks we con
fidently expect his acquittal. This,
again, goes to shoirwhat^reputa-
tion Waycross ha* as a centhsfo-
prayer. Even the loucly prisoner,
shut off from the world, has read
of Waycross, and wants our
prayers.

A ZEALOUS COLOUED MAN.
Parson Allen, pastor of the A. M.
E. Church, of this place, and one
of the most respectable colored
men of the community, is agitating
the subject of building a Seminary
here for the education of the colored
people. His views in this direc
tion are broad. He claims that if
the colored people are provided
yvith the means of education they
will make better citizens, be of
more benefit to themselves and a
help to the county at large. This
is nothing more nor less than we
have said* and wo sincerely hope
Parson Allen may find eomo per
son willing and able to help him
emancipate his race from the dark,
ers of ignorance, for where there
are no graded institutions of learn
ing the progression of any and
every people show a desire, and a
tendency that cannot be denied, to
retrograde. Let there be no back
ward movement in this matter.

pay for a paper in which the legal

ADVERTISING PAYS.
Some months ago a northern
firm advertised in this paper fo r
“White Heron and Egret Skins,*’
and n gentleman living near this
place went down to the Okefenokee
Swamp and killed a number of
those birds, skinned them, dried
the skins with the feathers on, and
sent them to the firm. They were
received and paid for, and, when
our informant was in town some
weeks ago, he was realizing ten
dollars per day killing and skin
ning birds.

FKABSON.
This was our old home. We
lived there long enough to leam to
love the people, and to note their
posperitv and advancement gives
us pleasure. Wc went up there
last Sunday to hear Rev. Mr. Eth
ridge preach, in the commence
ment of a protracted meeting, this,
being also, his regular appointment
at that place. We found, on arrivoh
the neat 111 tie church pretty full,
among them familiar and strange
faces. The sermon was a good one
—a regular missionary sermon,
which had the effect of producing
the desired result for it softened the
hearts of the young divine’s hear
ers, and caused the good people of
that place to contribute handsome
ly toward the missiouary fund.
The assessment for that church
was $26,55, for this year, and $51,-
45 even, was subscribed and some
of that amount paid over, making
$24,95 more than was called for,
or nearly double the assessmsnb
This is an improvement ia the
right direction, and shows that the
church is in a healthy condition.
