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.

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.
