VOLUME XVIII
10 BALL PARK
SECURED YET
The boys are disappointed that
have not been able to secure
anathletic park either location se-
fleeted .from the A. C. L. Railroad,
bui the changes in trackage propos
ed will eliminate the old grounds,
while the otjier ground is said to be
near the hospital anti the noise will
disturb the patients. This is rather
a curious objection in view of the
fact that the same ground is occu
pied by carnivals continually with
jttll "their noise and clamor. But Mr.
jKnight is now busy trying for anotk-
. A place.
our. opinion, the matter is up
the city, Waycross should with
out question supply the boys with a
park and give them a means and op
portunity for healthful recreation.
There are one or two good loca
tions that could be secured now at
reasonable cost and would be a val
uable and growing asset to the city.
Time is passing. let's do something.
Waycross is .the only totvn of any
aizt in Wiregrass that has not pro
vided a park for the boys and yet she
toss MORE boys than any other town
in the Wiregrass.

A GOOD SIGN
Of PROSPERS
/Rev. C. E. Wren, the pastov of
Jesup Baptist 'Church, was elected
President of the Piedmont Sunday
School Convention yesterday.
Wren has recently taken charge ot
tto? work at Jesup. He is a Virgin-
inn by birth and r. .very attractive
earnest speaker, and a great addition
to the Piedmont Association.
Hhe spoke yesterday on The ideal

One very encouraging sign of pros
perity and proof that things are mov
ing in Waycross is the remarkable
patronage at our various hotels. The
LaGrande, Phoenix and Virdle are
completely filled up all the time, and
a glance at the register dally will
i-Low a constant stream of , transient
guests.
The comparison of the register of
today tilth one a few. years ago,
shows a striking difference, that im
presses one with the fact that Way-

were frank and fearless and were
thoroughly enjoyed by those present.
One of the features of the night
service was the delightful Ringing
of the Bunn-Bell choir, led by Prof.
Zetgler, arranged upon the platform
behind the pulpit, they gave forth a
£pat volumne of swwt song.
The organizers of • tJ»o' convention
ate much disappointed at the - very
small attendance of out of tjj|

the'unsettled weather, t£e fact that
so many are busy on their farms

those present are much enjoyin'g the
meeting.
Mr. Geo. W. Andrews, Field Set

was the speaker of the evening and
for nearly one-hour fc* entertained
those present with one of the most
original talks on Sunday school work
