and attended the ladles gatherThg in
a body. Tasty refreshments were pro

MERCHANT8 AND CITI2EN8 EN
DORSE IT MOST HEJTRTTLY.
Waycross citizens sometimes differ
on questions of politics or cows, but
when It comes to matters that con
cern the maternal advancement and
pi ogress of the city, then they drop
all differences and pull together, bet-
etr perhaps than any other city we
know of, That has been the secret
of the wonderful progress Waycross
has made against great odds. When
things loom up that promise to be
helpful to the city, then Waycross
moves like a unit to carry It
through.
What the “White Way* Meant.
In this proposed “White Way*
movement ns It is called, the move to
decorate our streets with ornamental
polee and rows of brilliant lights,
that will make our streets attractive
and beautiful. Our merchants and
professional men and citizens gener-
ally, recognize what a material ad
vantage it will be to our city, as will
be ^en by statements below, are ,
almost unanimous In their expressed
desire to see the plan carried through.
When WaycrOla moves in. a unit afep
does things and d&ei them well.
Mayor Cox—I am heartily In favor
of the aaggettlon ot a “White Way*V
if It will not impose too great a tax
on tb^ finances of/the efty, Any
movement fqr the benefit of Wayoraea*
will always have my whole-hearted-'
endorsement.
•Mr. J. B. Dickln*—What do I think,
of the proposed “White Way”? I
think next to the depot Its the beet
advertisement we could have. I would
like to see dots of lights. People'
have formed a great Idea oi our pro
gress and prosperity, and we must
keep up with our,reputation.
M. Potter—It would bo a fine
move and I heartily endorse It.
Bcott Beaton—Yes, I would like to
see the streets well lit up at night.
Where you see lots of light, there-
you see lots of people traveling. 1‘
heartily endorse It as I do any good
thing for betterment of the town.
Mr. W. 8. Henley, Mgr. Bell Phono'
—I think It one of the best adver
tisements o city can have. Its good
for business nnd good for protection.
Col. h. A. Wilson—You cannot too
strongly express my endorsement. It
