The former gentleman is
known to our readers and
friends as the Editor of the
Smithvillo Mews, while Broth

the Cuthbert Liberal, one of
the sprightliest weeklies of the
State. Gunn is a married man
Stanton is not, hut that is no
fault of his. Well, these two
inkslingers have been enjoying
a regular war of words, brought
about by jealousy, because Gunn
out-shone Stanton at tho press
convention at MilledgeviUe
some weeks ago. In order to
get next to editor Gunn editer
Stanton, through his paper,
informs Mrs. Gunn that a young
lady m tho town named had
pinned a flower on her hus-
baud’s coat, thinking that Gunn
was Stanton, and since then
all kind of things have been
said of each other. Now, we
want these fellows to hush up.
Xeither one of them can brag
on their beauty, and such at
tempts on the part of both are
ridiculous. Stanton is an old
squint-eyed bachelor, with
enough bile on his stomach to
sour a tank full of water, while
his neighbor Gunn is old and
humpbacked and has a run-
dowii-at-the-lieel appearance,

Waycross contains betwecn.two
and three thousand people-—prob
ably two-thirds of those are
whites, yet, in all the churches,
there arc not over one thousand
members, and many of those
whose names arc on the lists are
‘out of the ark.” Granting this to
be true, there must be near one
thousand souls in this town that
are drifting with the tide toward
enternal ruin five hundred of whom
never enter a church, probably.
We must save them. Wo “are our
brothers’ and sisters’ keepers, 1
one sense of the words, and are re
sponsible for their salvation I This
is a fearful charge, sister. This is
a heavy burdon, brother, bat as

of God can reach every heart if we

The ladies of the Methodist
church are ready for this work—

Editor Headlight.—The letter
published by you last week from
my pen lias caused some inquiry,
as to the author, as to the purposes,
and last, but greatest of all, as to
the impulses that prompted its pro
duction. The first must remain
secret, the purpose is to reach some
who will not let us talk to them,
and the motives that prompted its
publication was to draw nearer to
God the thoughts of some of our
citizens who seldom, if ever, read
the Bible but will read the news
paper. Nothing but good isinteud-
ed, and the object is the -salvation
of men and women. Since the ap
pearance of my last letter Secre

A Fcmavlcable Case.
There is in the St. Joseph’s in-
Srmiry Savannah one of the most
remarkable cases of lock-jaw that
ever occurred. The physicians say
that there is nothing like it on re
cord in the medical books. Thomas
Bolling is .the subject. lie is a
professional horse-trainer, and is
\Y_ell k nown.amu qg local h< .rsemen.
He was in charge of Mr. M. JL
Doyle’s place,- at Thunderbolt,
were he had a number of colts and
horses in the stables. Eight weeks
ago he was driving a fractious
young horse around be track back
of his stables, and the animal shied
and ran close in by the fence. A
splinter from a paling entered the
palm of Mr. Bolling’s left hand.
Soon afterwards symptoms of
tetanus developed, and he was
taken to the St. Joseph’s infirmary
and placed under the treatment of
Dr. J. B. Read. The patient’s jaws
were locked as tight as a vise. He
bet a me unconscious, and for five
weeks remained so, with only an
occasional lucid interval of a few
minutes. Duriug ail that time,
nourishment in the way ofconcern
trated beef tea and milk was ad
ministered through tubes. The first
day a tube less than a quarter of an
inch in niametei was ust5d, as the
patient’s jaws could not be forced
apart. Then it was determined to
break out a front tooth, as is often
done in such cases, to admit it
tube. While unconscious Bolling
scarcely changed his position, and
for five weeks laid with his body
arched. The muscles of his back
had contracted just as those of nis
jaws. Three weeks ago he grasped
his left hand in his right, and
although semi-uncoscious, apperrd
to be in a parox; sm of pain. An
attendant examined the left hand,
and seeing the end of the splinter
pulled it out. It was an inch long
Ever since the splinter was removed
his condition has improved, though
slowly. Theaeute symptoms have
disappeared, however, and Mr.
Bolling’s recovery is confidently
looked for. The case has attracted
great deal of interest among the
physicians of the city.
