REAL E8TATE Deals In Douglas. I

is Douglas, the Douglas Enterprise
says:
"Messrs C. W. Deen of Baxley, Geo.
W. Deen of Waycross and F. L. Sweat
of Douglas purchased for 16000.00 the
lot and store houses opposite the post-
office from Messrs. Qulncey ft McDon
ald. The intention is to erect thereon
a fine two story brick block."

in the House didn’t lose much by re

this car to-day.
N The Car works will begin at once on

At the Waycross shops about 1,1000
box cars and 300 flats will be construc

the remainder of this order will be
done at the works of the company in
Savannah.
The Atlantic Coast Line officials are
greatly pleased with the cars turned
out by the car worka here and when
placing future orders for freight cars,
will no doubt be favorable to placing
their orders with the Waycross fac
tory.
There are sufficient orders ahead

A Railroad Man’s Prayer.
An experienced railroad worker was
converted, and being present at a
meeting at which there were many in
quiries, he was asked to lead in prayer
He hesitated a moment, and then with
trembling lips, but clear, resounding
voice, he said reverently; “Oh Lord,
now that I have flagged Thee, lift up
my feet from the rough road of life
and plant them safely on the deck of
the train of salvation. Let me use
the safety lamp known as prudence,
make all my couplings in the train
with the strong link of Thy love, and
let my hand lamp be the Bible; and
Heavenly Father, keep all switebee

pecially those with s blind end. Oh
Lord, If It be Thy pleasure, have ev

And, Lord, give us the ten command

finished the run on schedule time and

death, may Thy superintendent of the
universe say, ‘well done, thou good
A place where there will be fresh
