We announced last week that Drs. Redding & Walker had sold out their drug business, and since that time we have been asked if these gentlemen intended leav ing Waycross, many of the inquir ers speaking in terms of regret. We were unable to answer either way until ve had se3n the gentle men, but now we can assure the public that these faithful physi cians and accomplished surgeons purport making Waycross their permanent homes. In a few days their professional card will appear in these columns, and then the public may know where these popu lar physicians maybe found, at all times. We have taken liberty on previous occasion, to commend Drs. Redding & Walker, and inas much as they have no drug bus- siness.to hiuder them, now, their efforts for success in the treatment of the sick will be renewed with dou bled vigor if possible. Enough.

M. ^Whiting, our former pastor, is strutting around in Hawkinsville, wnere he preaches this year, a very proud man. and a-little girl baby which came last week is the whole cause of it all. as a man who trades close, sells reasonable, keeps the best and purest drugs to be had, that he may not err in commending, and grapples at once at the throat of competition in favor of the public. Watch these columns. SHOT BY A THEIF. One day last week a negro stole a suit of clothes and a gun from a Mr. Crawford, near Fort Mudge, and in making his escape spied Mr. D. Dowling in the public road, and thinking he was pursued, einpii :d the contents of the gun at the white man, severely wounding him in the breast and shoulder, the gun being loaded with buck shot. Dr. E. Everett, of Braganza, was called to attend the wounded man, and succeeded, with his usual skill, in removing the shot. The wounded man is badly . but not mortally hurt.

Jim Hanlon, of the Alaplia Star, says he faildcd to attend the Sun day School pic nic at Willacoochee recently because he learned that we were there, and he did not feel like taxing the hospitality-of those clever people too much. Jim Han lon evidently imagines every body is n glutton because he hap pens to he one. A CLOSK MI AV E. Richard Cannon was about to cross the B. & W. R. R. about three miles from town one morning about 9 o’ciock last week, when the passenger train from Bruns wick came near running over him. A house on the right-of-way, hid the approaching train from him, and as he was about to drive on to the track the train thundered by missing him about twelve feet. This was at a point where a public road crosses the railroad, but Mr. Cannon says no whistle was blown to warn him of the train’s ap proach. Something should be done bv the company to prevent repetition of an accident such as this came near being. meeting to order aud announced its object. T. B.

Harris had been swept away from the pages of memory. Countless friends, whom we asked him concerning cere an swered for in these words “Died or killed in Virgina, wounded and killed in Tennessee, he was shot and killed near Atlanta,” until we almost sickened at heart, but breathed a prayer to Almighty God that we had been spared to see the Sunny South “blosora as the rose,” while her people, though sad over the fall of a cherished cause, are fighting manfully to elevate themselves and the en tire county to a higher plane of progression. Mr. Harris is still in town, employed on the brick stable of Cannon & Co., now in progress of erection near the Grand Cen tral Hotel, in new Waycross, and is representing the Marble and Monumental Works of Miller & McCall, Americus, Ga.
