It turns out that there wan no

Dick Orubb says "we have about

We don’t know of couree, but

Argue lead a, to believe that
Editor Shaver ha, at aome time

“Advertise, no matter how

you are able to buy," ia the advice
of the periodical Good Advertiaiug
“Increase the amount aa you can

Hon. Joe. Hall, the legialative
filibuster, loud snorter and Dir
Pont Guorry’s right huud man
made a talk (not speech) at the
court house last Monday at noon,
He wbb bitter toward newapaper,
that dared think and speak against
Guerry and himself but failed to
make any frieude.—Douglas Breeze
Editor Freeman either did not
hear Mr. Hall or he misunderstood
him. Mr. Hall waa not “bitter to
ward newspaper, that dared think
and apeak against Guerry." He
ripped . up part of the Douglas
court house ring which the Breeze
is helping to fight Mr. Guerry.
But it is only natural for for tho
Douglas court bouse ring with its
allies to light Guerry, and the
bonier they fight the better for
Guerry.
THE LYCEUM COURSE.
The lycuum course which closed
with the Ottumwa* Friday night,
was one of the heat, it is anid,
that thia city has ever enjoyed.
Indeed wo have it from good au
thority that the course hero has
been equal to that of the larger
cities.
There has been ten excellent
numbers before the people tbit
season and nearly every one was a
celebrity.
Mr. Murphy, I’rof. I’ouud aud
Mr, Whitman deserve the thanks
of ‘the uuiinmiuity for the splen
did lectures, guod music and all
round high ontertainment afforded
the Wayoroaa people this past
winter.
LET THEM COME.
Another cigar factory ia now in
sight and with open arms it will lie
received.
With some class of goods the
business can he overdone and the
factorial already established can
he throttled by additions, hnt tb»
cigar business is not of that class
Tile more the liettcr. If we
could got twenty, every additional
one would help the first.
Let the cigar factories come,
The first one is a big success
Others will be. It brings a high
class of labor and the workmen
are big spenders.
We bid the new factory wet

Instead of hurting a town liquor

House and Home.
A house is built of bricks and stones, of
sille, and posts, and piers;
Hut n home is built of loving deeds that
stand a thousand years.
A house, though but an humble cot,
within its walls muy hold
home of priceless beauty, rich in
lovo’s eternal gold.
The men of earth build houses—halls and
chambers, roofs and domes—

COCHRAN DECLINES TO RUN-
Will Not Be la the Race on Acconat of
Strenuous Business Reasons.
Editor Waycboss Journal,
My Dear Sir:—It ia with ex
treme regret, on account of the
warm support of so many friends
throughout the Brunswick circuit,
•o geuerously accorded my pros
pective candidacy, that I haveto
write, finally declining to enter
the race for Superior Judgship—
There are strenuous business
conditions purdy of a/pereaipai
character, that operate agaiuat
such a candidacy.
For Geographical nod economic
asoiis, a great many prefer that
the Judge should reside iu the
centre of his circuit. We bavo a
caudidate announced already,
from Waycross, capable, clever,
and eminently efficient, and for
myself, I have neither time nor
inclination for a scramble. With
this gratoful, public acknowledge
ment of the hundreds of letters
received in this behalf,
I am very truly yours,
A. E. Cecilhan.
SAM DAVIS WAS
KILLED SATURDAY

Train Near the Atlantic and
Blnnlagbsia Shops.
S»m Davis, a negro employed
by Mr. T. J. Darling, was killed
by train number two on the At
lantic & Birmingham railroad
Saturday night, near their shops
in this city.
About five minutes after the
train bad passed, the watchman
at the''railroad shops found the
negro in a dying condition at the
crossing near by. No one saw the
accident, but it is supposed that
the negro jumped off the moving
traiu, tripped ou the grip he had
iu his hand, and fell under the
cars. The traiu was moving at
very low rate of speed, as it was
slowing np for the depot. The
negro lived near the shops, and it
is supposed he got off at the near,
est point to his home.
As soon as tho accident was dis
covered the company’s surgeon
was summoned, and everything
doue to make him comfortable,
Mr.'Darling has a contract to
build some bouses for the Tail-
road aud the negro had been out
working on them.

THE GREAT DISMAL SWAMP
Of Virginia is a breeding ground
of Malaria germs. So is low, wet
or marshy ground everywhere.
These germs causu weakness, chilis
and fever, aches in the bones and
muscles, and may induce danger
ous maiadios. But Electric Bit
ters never fail to destroy them
and cure malarial troubles. They
will surely prevent typhoid. “We
tried many remedies for Malaria
and Stomach and Liver troubles,”
writes John Charleston, of Byes-
ville, O., “but never fouud any
thing as good aa Electric Bit
ters." Try them. Only 50e. All
Druggists guarantee satisfaction.
The Ottumwas.
The Ottumwas Friday evening
were somewhat disappointing in
their program, iu that they were
ao very good laet eeason and only
moderately «o this year. Mist Van
Deuaeu fully sustained herself
in her readiugs and was really the
salvation of the program Friday
uight. She is not only talented
but pretty and wiuniug. The
Ottumwas will always be greeted
with a good house in Waycross, bat
they need to brighten up.
Mr. S. Knoff hat aold hia barber
•hop to Mr. John Myers who haa
rented it to Ed Jackson. Mr.
Knoff and family will return to
Michigan their former home ae
soon aa be wind* up hia affairs
here. It is proheble that he will
go to the Pacific eo tat for bis
health.
The Story of a Will.
What a story of a hungry heart
there it in the will of Frank Con
ger, late of New York.
The newspapers have told the
news details, but there is more
than a mere story ia it.
His wife was an invalid, but the
mother love burned pure aud
stroug iu her heart. The hutbaud
was kind and tteuder and loviog
but the lonesome feeling, that
only a child can banish, ofteu left
a pain in his breast.
You see nature has provided for
that. Child love is the most nat
ural aud universal of passions
It cannot be mistaken or stiffed or
forgotten. Nothing fills the great
want except a bit of laughing hu
manity that a man and a woman
can call their own.
There was a railroad horror
many yeors ago—one of those
sickening affairs where lives go
out and cripples are made.
Ou the train were Frank Con
ger, the millionaire, and his inva
lid wife. They were not injured,
aud the husband was soon aiding
the victims. He heard the cry of
a child, and a voice iu his heart
answered. He tore up twisted
rods and broken wood. Some
thing gave him great strength,
and be stripped aside the wreck
age and found—a baby.
Not alone a baby, for elapsed
about the child were the arms of
a dead woman, whose maternal
instinct at her last moment had
caused her to shield her infant
from harm. Near by was the
body of a man, and the faces of
both were crushed beyond recog
nition.
And that is how the Congers
secured a child to love and cher
ish. It would almost seem as if
Providence or Destiny, or some
wonderful force that mere human
being can not understand, had ar
ranged that that baby should be
rescued by a man whose whole
heart bad been crying out for just
such a one as he found clasped iu
that woman’s arms.
Oressa Stewart Conger made a
home happy for many years. She
was life itself to the invalid
woman, and the man called her
‘Miss Sunshine.”
She was his antidote for the
blues—for even millionaires have
their troubles—his helper and his
chum.
The other day Frank Conger
died, and he left to his little girl
of 14 a fortune of $0,000,000—not
as a reward, hut because of a deep,
uudyiug love for the one who made
years of happiness for him.
Don’t Talk Hard Times.
I never know a man to he suc
cessful who was always talking
about business being had. Never
allow yourself to dwell on the
dark side of anything. You should
refuse to talk about depressed
markets or hard times. Learn to
talk up, not down. Mauy busi
ness men become chrouic grum
blers or fault-finders. Times are
always hard with them. Other
men get iuto a pessimistic rut,
aud never see brightness or suc
cess in anything. It is imposs
ible for such people to prosper.
Success is a delicate plant, and
requires encouragement aud sun
shine.
Regard yourself as su)>erior to
the evils which surround you.
Learn to dominate your envi
ronments ; to rise above depressing
influences. Look for the bright
side of things, not the dark and
gloomy side.
The world likes sunny, hopeful,
bouyant characters; it shuns lugu
brious prophets who only see fail
ure and disaster everywhere. The
hopeful, cheerful men and women,
who see success and longevity iu
their callings, are the ones who
•re sought after. It is aa natural
to try to avoid disagreeable, un
pleasant people aa it ia to try to
escape from the clouds aud
shadows into the sunlight.—Suc
cess.
