Ouo readers have seen the pro gramme of this delightful occa sion, which came off last Saturday and we may well say it was a glorious success. The two prom inent speakers on the programme were not present, but Mr R. B. Reppard and others made up for this mishap. The singing by the Baptist and Methodist Sunday schools was delightful, showing thorough train- ning and judgment, but when the MissiAn.scho(|j.camS.to tone with., their aongr the climax was copped. Hot boxes in order. Way,cross sustained herself last Saturday. It is too hot to think; too hot to write or work, or do anything.

L THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., g DrmwtrS, .HUtnta, Oa. STATE OF GEORGIA—Coffee bounty.—We, the Comniittee, ap 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 ing a new courthouse, recommend that the Ordinary make such re pairs on the old courthouse as he may deem necessary, which we think will suffice for many years.

Kegg’s family, some of the boys have further to walk. Boys will go to 6ee the girls. Squire Hammond, of Willacoo- chee, was in town last Saturday, We wish he could find it to his in terest to live here all the time. Ty Ty, had another mnrder host Monday*. One woman got jealous of another, waylaid her and beat out her brains with a lightwood knot. The big brick livery stable of H. A. Cannon & Co., is still driv ing on, and in a short while bus iness will begin in earnest. We predict success. Will we never be allowed to have peace in the family ? The “Social Club” is on the warpath. Our scalp is out of danger this time, thank you. Rev. E. J.

Willie Spence, of Waresboro, Willie Ivindrick, of Hoboken, Vir gil Parker, of Willacoochee, and several others we cannot now name, were in town last Saturday casting “sly glances” at the Way- cross girls. A few days ago Mrs. C. W. Barnes, near Ty Ty, started to visit Mrs. Peter Pelham. On the way the driver ran the vehicle over a stump and upset it throw ing Mrs. Barnes and her young baby out. The mother who is large fleshy lady, fell upon- the infant and crushed its head and killed it. Members of the Young Men’s Social Club deny that they prac tice immoralities or play games that will lead to crime. One of the clauses of their by-laws we are informed, prohibits.the use of vulgar or profane language, smok 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 ference in the words, recollect and remember. He goes home sometimes with some small change in his pockets, goes to bed, recol lects asking his wife to patch a hole in his pantloons, and when lie gets up next morning he don’t “remem ber” what became of the' “small change?’ Moral—Never c u rry any thing in your pocket that rattles when your breeches are being patched. Jimmie Wideman. sOh of J. J. Wideman, of this plare, and for sometime employe! as engineer on the “pusher” at the S., F, <fc*W.

He will now take an engine on the regular run on that road, and we' feel con fident he will continue to be sue* cessfuL We are pleased to cbroncle success of a Waycross boy. ers’ stand last Saturday; Waycross is still b The saw, hammer and trol be heard in the land. Don’t fret and get mad about the heat. That kind. of business will send yon to a hotter place. Mr. Leroy Buchanan has pur chased the stock of H. F. Butler, in front of the Methodist church, and continues business at that stand. The paper is late this week, and we are fearfully behiud with job work, but the excessive heat is the cause of it. Running a press now is warm work. Shoes, hats, clothing and pro visions are cheaper in Waycross than before known. A man who traded in other towns told us this, and he trades in Waycross now. Even in this hot weather Savan nah manages to get up a murder for each day in the week— The latest and most startling, was on Tybee island and the object was robberry. The Alapaha Star’s correspond ent is mistaken when he says a cannot hire a horse in this town on Sunday. The livery stables and milk wagon siill run on the Sabbath. The Headlight acknowledges an invitation to attend a social party at residence of H. P. Brewer, last night. Too hot; too tired— couldn’t go, but thanks, all the same, for kind remeniberance. The Brunswick Daily Journal, with Col. Sholes as Editor-in chief, will make its appearance in August. The publishing com pany is a. strong one, and this journal wifi doubtless be a success. The Secretary’s report of the Sunday School Convention last Saturday was not received until too late for this issue, but will appear next waek, for the benefit of our readers abroad. We have a synopsis to-day. Ben Hopkins and Bob Cooper, two negroes employed by Mr. J. H. Wright, a naval store manufac turer of this county, had a fight last Friday, in which Hopkins killed and Cooper badly wounded. The latter is in jail. The Brunswick Breeze publshed a notice of Mr. Staff. Davis, of Coffee county, reoently, and winds up the article by saying the gen tleman is in feeble health. The Breeze is informed that Mr. Davis has been dead for three months. Uncle. Roan. Pafford, of Coffee county, was in town last Saturday morning, but did not remain to the jubilee, pleading pressing bus iness at home and left. If he was not at home by the evening of that day, the lady that darns his socks cannot hold us responsible. We did our duty. Mr. Booth) of Glenmore, was in town last Saturday for the pur pose of having something done for his finger—cut off, perhaps. Some months ago he was out fishing when he was bitten by a snake, and by the use of known remedies his life was saved, hut the flesh of his Anger has wrottod off clean, leaving the bone perfectly flesh less. Mrs- Alice Keen, the estimable wife of Bro. J. M. Keen, of the Reporter was taken violently ill, with hiccoughs last Sumday, about 13 M., and to suoh an extent did the affliction like a blighting blast run that grave fears were entertained as to reoover, but ( thanks to skillfhlphysicians and attentive friends,she is much better now, A RESOLUTION. At a Communication of Way- cross Lodge, No. 305 F. & A. M, held at their Lodge room on Mon day Evening last, the following resolution was passed. Resolved, That we tender our thanks to the members of the Waycross Babtist Church for the use of their house, and to Judge Lott for the use of the court house on the occasion ot our celebration on the 24th of last month. Also to the Reporter and Headlight for courtises extended by "them at the same time. * 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. Stanton «s secretary, the following reports were received; Superintendent Stanton, of the Methodist school, of Waycross, 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. The Jones Brothers, of the Jack sonville Times-Un jon, have form ed a stock oompany for the better publication of that great paper. Win. Parker, in the brick house is slamming off a lot of neavy winter pantaloons he had left this spring, at about half price. Whenever you : want fine job work send to this office.
