changed, not with Cleveland, but with

We are pleased to inform our readers
that Prof. John P. Lanier, who is so
well known all over Southern Georgia
an accomplished artist, has fitted up
handsome photograph gallery in
Mallon’s Hall, this town, and will re
main here as long as the patronage will
justify. We do not hesitate in pro
nouncing him one of the best photo
graphic artists of the South, and his
long and varied experience in the busi
ness affords him a sufficient uumrantee
of success. We often lament the death
lr little ones, and when wc have a
picture of their pretty faces our grief is
not so poignant—we have some conso
lation, and as John Lanier makes a
specialty of taking , perfect pictures of
babies, seed© it that you do not let this
opportunity slip. And then, if the
Great Reaper cats down* our tender
flowers, we have something more than
the little sailed dresses and half-worn
shoes to remind us that departed little
ones are holding a “lamp in the win

One of our exchanges says: “Every
editor in the State must see President
Cleveland.” Well, all right; if every
editor must see him, he will come to
Waycross if he expects to catch a

sorbs our whole attention, and we
would not neglect it for so small a mat
ter as seeing the President of the Uni
ted States. Now if, as the aforesaid
editor says, we must see Brother
Cleveland, should he come to our office
about six o’clock in the evening (if he
comes before that time he will please
sit down on the steps at the foot of tlie
stairs—persons without business not
allowed to loaf around the office or
smoke our pipes) after we have finished:
our work we will try to spare him a

We learn from an observer
that a bull was wading along in
the edge of Flint river swamp, last
Monday, nipping cane and keeping

a dash at his nose, hut missed his
hold. The bull made fight, and
prodded the alligator with his
horns. Then com menced a fierce
and bloody encounter, in tlie shal
low water, that beggars descript
ion. The ‘gator struck with his
tail and snapped furiously with his
huge jaws, tearing the skin and
flesh in big strips from the hull.
The bull got his horns into the
‘gator’s sides, End lifting his huge
ccasras, tossed him high and dry
on the ground, and, following up
with a deep bellow, rushed again
upon his foe. The alligator met
him with a terrible blow of the tail
knocking off one horn and bring

horn got in under a foreleg of the
