The county officials are determined
to put a stop to the gambling busi
ness. They claim to have a clear
case against these men and are being
congratulated on the complete man
ner in which the wholesale captures
were made. Several of the men are
giving bond, but most of them will
plead guilty and probably assist nta
j terlally in the development of our
I county toads.
SHORT SESSION I THE BUNN-BELL
MAYOR’S COURT
Mayor Cox held shott court this
morning and added $8.00 to the city
treasury. One case of a well known
negro, charged with being drunk,
caused some amusetnene, and after
ntence was pronounced, he turned
around and sought to borrow his fine
of $2.00 from amng his fellow pris
oners and failing there, proposed to
the Chief of Fire Department or Chief
of Police that they should pay it for
him. But said they: “nothing doing!”

Among, the growing assets of the
city of Waycross, there is none more
valuable) or entitled to higher place
in the ledger of our city’s values
than til# College that crowns the
“Height*” and overlooks our beaufl-
ful city. In the rush and bustle of
life, we Waycross people are apt to
overlook, and in the case of many of |
us. havi no appreciable idea of the I
actual work being done, and the vast !
possibilities that lie ahead of this j
valuable Institution, the Bnnn-Iiell 1
College. A visit to this building and
a careful Inspection and investigation :
of the Educational work being done j
and the wonderful opportunities that
It is opening up to the boys and girls
of our * wl regrass district, will, we
think, convince the most skeptical
and create within the man entnusiar-
tic interest in Its growth and wel
fare.
The location of the College build
ing Is an Ideal one—standing on the
hlgbestpoint around Waycross. It oc
cupy* a delightful and healthy spot, i
From its windows you can look upon
u campus of some 7 or S acres in
extent,'neatly fenced and being laid
out In a tasteful manner. Close .,,
