They pay the highest market price for wool, giving their easterners from the country the advantage of a first- class; opportunity to bcII their ’’clip,” and secure cheap hard ware. FOB THE rouse MEN. Rev. E. J. Burch preached from the 6th chapter and 10th verse of Daniel, last Sunday, for the bene fit of the youngmen, as previously announced. It was a master piece of instruction, telling over again, in plain, concise language the story of Daniel’s fidelity to God, his triumph in the lions den, and the unwavering Christian faith, of the Hebrew children, in the fiery fnrnace. It was well received, and we trust may tend to good with the young, and old tnen too. NO FZFRR NEXT WEEK. It is the usual custom in most country printing offices to take a little recreation on the 4th of July, and as ourself and a ten-year-old boy constitute the mechanical and editorial force of this office, for the first time in its existince, we will issue no paper next week, only an advertising sheet being sent out, to make tho county advertising legal. Our readers will lose nothing, however, for we will return refresh ed and more vigorous after a short respite from our routine of labor. W. M. WILSON. Perhaps there is not a better known man in Ware county thaw Mr. W. M. Wilson, the grocer, at his old stand, near the barber shops. He is not only known because he is a clever man and clerk of the Superior court, but he can never- be undersold in family groceries. Always with a fresh stock he nat urally can figure down on “rock bottom"prices, and sells nothing; but first-class goods. A WOKU TO OCR Fit I ENDS. The low rates offered by the S. F. & W. R. R, to visit Savannah on the 2, 3 <k 4th, may cause - many of our friends to go. In view - of this fact, we hove learned that. the omnibus charges to hotels will, be about 50 cents, and therefore,, at a saving of 40 or 45 cents, on. this rate, commend the Harnett. House, as it can be reaclicdjby the • street cars. Aside from this, we have a letter from the genial pro prietor which informs us that hie i rate of board has been reduced to, $1,50 per day, for July and Au-v gust. WARE COUNTY SUNDAY, WMl A MOTHER GONE. We are pained to announce the death of Mrs. Delilah Wilkerson, a most esteemed lady, mother of J. J, Willkerson, T . R., of this county, last Wednesday, June 22, aftei a protracted illness of several months. She had oecn pilgrim in this world of sighs and sorrows for 79 years, and while her death was a calamity to her. chil dren and grandchildren, it most have been a relief to her. Loved by all who knew her, she will be wideley mourned, while we, a stranger, offer the bereaved fiTmily our heartiest sympathy. A FOUNDRY FOR WAYCROSS. Some enterprising gentlemen Gfilon & Burnet, of 'Macon, have purchased a site near the R- tt W. R. R. just below Mr. C. C. Buc hanan’s variety works, where they propose to erect a foundry, at -an earley day. It appears to ns that Waycross will be a splendid point for this business, because the railroad facilities for reaching the entire section are ample, and the site selected is convenient for shipping. We hope the enterprise may prove a success from the be ginning, and that the owners re alize a handsome support from the investment. We shall have more back, but when the young M. D. | to say as the building approaches studies medicine as long andi completion, but we understand the shakes as hard as we have he’ll j foundry will be ready for orders change his mind. i n about fifteen days.

Not only the larger air-passenges, bnt the thousands of little tubes and cavities leading from them. When these are clogged and choked with matter which ought not to be there your lnngs cannot do there, work. And what they do, they cannot well. Call it cold, congh, croup pneu monia, catarrh, consumption or any of the family of throat and nose and bead and lung obstruct ions, all ore bad. All ought to be got rid of. There is just one sure way to get rid of them. That is to take Boschee’s German Syrnp which any druggist will sell you at 75 cents a bottle. Even if every thing else has failed you, you may depend npon this for certain. - No Paper next week remem ber. A convention and jubilee of all the Sunday schools of Ware coun ty is on tapis for the 16th of July. The Sunday Schools from all parts ot the county are expected to meet in this town on that day, and a- general holiday and celebration, with thanks to'Almighty God for His mercies will be the program me. Th e following committies have been appointed: OOXMfTTEE ON INVITATION.

Mrs. D J Williams, Miss Emma Shine Mrs J C Reynolds, C. C. Buchanan, D. B. Sweat, Chirman, Secretary. CLOSING UP OS SUNDAY. We said last week that we hoped tho Council would not close the ice-house entirely on Sunday, for the reason, we contended, that it might work hardships on the sick. We did not, in that suggestion, question the motives or sincerity of the Council, or any member thereof; or their ability to take care of the affairs of the town, as some persons seem to think, bnt we wrote the article in question thinking, probably, that the use ot ice for the sick had been over looked. We do not advocate the policy of keeping open any house on Sunday for commercial benefits but we do say it is right and just to allow the privilege of cooling the fevered brow and parched tongue of a wife or child to a man. Some very harsh, undeserved crit- cisras concerning ourself in -regard to this matter, have reached oni ears, Bimply because we conld not Bee the ice house question as others did, but they have no effect upon ns. We had a right to speak, did so, and that too, with out consulting any man’s opinion or viewB, or without disrespect to any member of our Council, and, as a journalist, as a citizen wh» delights in obeying the law, and have paid every cent of taxes re quired of us, we said we hoped . Council would not pass an ordi- j nance taking ice out of the reacla of the siok, and still say so.
