TAXPAYER WITHDRAWS
PERSONAL ALLUSIONS.
Editor Herald:
In a conversation with Calvin W.
Paiker, he tells me that hts sugges
tion to council that the qity build a
hall was made in his annual -report
and not in a special resolution. He
further states that if the city has
used any of the sinking Hinds to tide
over difficulties he has no knowledge
of It. 1 therefore take pleasure In
withdrawing the questions propound
ed to Mr. Parker In my card of the |
27th. I also withdraw the personal
allusion to Mr. Parker,
Respectfully.

Interior work necessary In the com-

waiting lias been a long one. But It
will soon ho finished now, nnd will
stand a perpetual monument to the
loyal efforts of our entire citizenship,
and we trust will prove u mighty

As we look upon the corner stone
of this building, we are lippressed
with ihe uncertainty of life, two of
the good men who earnestly labored
for the erection of this beautiful
structure, have ere Its completion
passed to the “Great Beyond.” But
their efforts were not in vain and
future generations in Waycross will
enjoy the results of their selfsacrlflce
and effort fo rtbe youn gmen.
Benton's sale Is gohig on and is a
success beyond expectation. Hons
keepers are getting the advantage
of file clearance sal*, and laying in
their stocks of all class of dry goods.
The goods are marked as low as
possible and everything is as repre
sented in their advertjsements. You
will do well to look at Benton's nd
In todays paper and select you a line
before It is all gone.
In Lie absence of the two leaders
of the .Salvation Army, both of whom
