pointed by the Grand Jury of said
county, at the April term, 1887, of
Coffee Superior Court, have this
d^y 'met, pursuant to recom
mendation of said Grand Jury, to
make plans and specifications for
a new Courthouse, to be built in
said county, and have made said
specifications and turned the
same over-to the Ordinary as di
rected. But we, In lieu of build

that the Ordinary make such re

may deem necessary, which we
think will suffice for many years.

Members of the Young Men’s

that will lead to crime. One of
the clauses of their by-laws we

ing or spitting on the floor. The
object of the Club is the promo
tion of a social feeling among the
young people, and for dramatic
training.
John Mallon says there is a dif

up next morning he don’t “remem

when your breeches are being
patched.

The paper is late this week, and

Uncle. Roan. Pafford, of Coffee

At a Communication of Way-

day Evening last, the following

on the occasion ot our celebration
on the 24th of last month. Also

SUDDEN DEATH.
The Headlight is pained to
announce the sudded death of the
wife of Mr. H. S. DuBose, of this
place, which sad event occured in
Charleston, last Wednesday, July
She.was beloved by all who
knew her, and the startling an
nouncement of her death’has cast a
gloom over the spirits of her
friends. For her sorrowing hus
band and family we have the
deepest sympathy, and trust that
there will be a re-union of loved
ones in the “land beyond the
tomb.’*
ABOUT WAYCBOSS.
A correspondeni of the Alapaha
Star, writing from this place under
dateofJuly 11th, saye; “A heavy
move is being made to abolish the
county court of Ware county on
the ground that it is not self sus
taining.
Waycross is building up in all
directions. Alapaha has a much
better farming country to support
it than Waycross has or ever will
have; then, why in the name of
common sense, don’t she make
start for the top? I have seen
more cotton and other produce
come into Alapaha in one day
than in Waycross in two years.
One reason I know is. that land
in Waycross can be bought at a
very reasonable price from men
who have an interest in the growth
of the town.
The town council of Waycross
are getting things down line in the
way of getting a gloss of soda, a
cigar,.a piece of ice when you have
hot fever, or to hire a horse and
buggy to attend a funeral with or
for any other purpose on Sunday.
They say this, way of doing bus
iness on Sunday must be stopped
at once!”
Liverpool salt $1 00 per sack
at E. H. Crawley’s,
and the Mission school, though
the youngest on the ground, bore
off the palm.
The dinner was a sumptous re
past, gotten up .with a special
desire to set before the hungry
participants tne best the land af
forded. Lemonade was plentiful,
and though, at times, there seem
ed to'be a disposition among a
few to do as they pleased, order
vas kept and the unanimous vote
of all present was “that too much
praise could not be accorded the
ladies and gentleman who arranged
so well for the eating and drinking
by the multitudes.”
Long life to the Committees,
ladies and geutlemen, to those who
aided them and to the generous
heart that conceived the idea of a
union jubilee iormed of our county
Sunday school.
RE-ORGANIZATION OV WAKE COUN
TY SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION.
On the afternoon of last Satur-.
day the Association was_re-organ-
ized by the election of Prof. S. P. ,
Settles, as President, and V. L.
Stanton, secretary, with seven
vice-presidents. The President and
Secretary are too well-known ai
strong Sunday School workers to
leave any question of doubt "as to
their ability, and. we may exj^cct a
more perfect work in the future
(we are far from reflecting on
the late President and Secretary
at all) from these vigorous, earn
est men:
Deep .rolling thunder, with a
dark cloud caused the Convention
to adjourn to the Mtthodist
church, were with President
Settles in thechaii, nud Bro. V. L.

reports were received;
Superintendent Stanton, of the

made a wonderful report o? the
growth ot that school, with a heavy
attendance.
Superintendent Eason, of Wares
boro, reported a fine improvement
in growth with an average atten
dance of 40 scholars.
Superintendent J. T. Hussy of
Bickley, reported a large and stead
ily increasing growth, with sixty*
five or seventy members on the
roll. Good average.
Bro. Stead, of the Mission School
made a cheering and wonderful re
port, with good results for the fu
ture. He reports twenty-one offi
cers and teachers at its organ
ization a few weeks ago, and now
claims thirty-five or forty regulars.
Superintendent Brewer, of the
Baptist School of Waycross, re-,
ported the roll of his school at
eighty-six; officers and teachers
seven; average attendance, fifty.
All these reports were very flat
tering, and the President expressed
greaj satisfaction on receiving
each one.
