Notice is hereby given that I have this iavdesignated the HaiKBKtrxffe Search LlOHT, a weekly newspaper published in Bain bridge. Ga.. as' the inerfihm tot the publication of all legal advertise ments emulating from the Sheriff's office during the year 1901. Jan. 10th. 1901. A. W. FORDHAM.Sheriff. Mayor Bridge* Smith, of Macon, is writing some very readable matter for the Atlanta Journal. The long drouth in the West ha* at last been broken and the people of that section are more hopeful. Tho office-seolters must be very hungry and very thirsty to be open ing a political campaign in this state nearly two year* before the election. The state fair will he held in Sav annah this year, and it will be the greatest exhibition ever known in the state. Savannah knows how to do it. Notwithstanding the report* of a short cotton crop, there will no doubt he euough of the staple made to supply the demand and keep a down the price. Hon. W’. O. Brantley ha* declined to entor the race for gubernatorial honors, but there are many other favorite sons in south Georgia stand ing “ready, willin’ and awaitin’ ” The Allan a Constitution has re duced the price of its daily edition to $b.00 per annum, and, by the a ay, that paper has been preaching some sis inch democratic doctrine here lately. Is there anything much the matter with the nigger? We think not. He -makes a fair uitixen, arid, in many in stances, a very good one. Better let him go oil voting the democratic ticket than to disfranchise him. Of the three men now in the race for the governorship, whose “mugs” have appeared in the news papers, Joe Terrell is decidedly tho heat looking. Pope Brown and Du Pont Guerry are not pretty a great deal already. Be ivuse lightning struck a Metho dist church and a barroom at the same time in a Texas town recently Henry Riuliardson is led. to exclaim that “lightning, like rain, Jails upon the j ;st and the unjust.” And it do look like it. The Augusta Chronicle announces that it has ceased to be a Bryan or- gau. Let the Augusta paper now become an organ for a muted dem ocratic party upon a platform of old time democratic principles, and all will be well. It may be possible that the three candidates now aunouuced for gov- enor will wear themselves out be- iorc the primary election next spring. Then another boss may be brought on the track. In the meantime let Toro, Dick and Harry be “spoken of.” South Georgia persists in its desire to become the gubernatorial belt.— Atlanta Journal. Yes, we think North Georgia has worn the guber natorial belt long euough and expect to see it tried on a South Georgia man next. It will look better and ill better, too. Col. J. H. Kstill, of the Savannah Morning News, is anno.meed as a candidate for governor of Georgia. Col. Bstill is a loyal democrat, a practical, conservative, successful man, and If the people of the state honor him with the high office of chief Executive he, in retuun, will give to the state a wise and econom ical administration.

HICKS’S Hygienic Self- Treatment. Whlaham, Ga.. July 3rd. 1901. Mr. K. L. Hick?, Bainbridge, Ga : Dear Sir—I write merely to express to you my gratitude for curing my rupt ure. Eighteen months’ ago. you will remember you fitted a truss on me and irave me full directions for Self Hygienic Treatment.. The rupture had been giv ing me untold trouble for a year. It lias uot troubled ine a day since 1 took the treatment. Yours gratefully, K. A. Connell. Ex-representative Decatur County. The above Is only one of a vast num ber of the testimonials I, have received since I mastered this branch of the drug bnsiadss. Some of my most remarkable cures have been right here in the city of Bainbridge. Will this proces cure all cases? 1 believe it will. Have I made any failures ? Many. Why t Because it is the unalterable determin ation of some people never to take anv treatment which is not saturated with humbug and superstition and robbery. My process is in accord with the phi losophy of common sense and nat.ui-al law. But it costp effort and . self-denial and perseverance; wherefore many give up the treatment before it has had a fair trial. I Have opened a FIRST-CLASS Grocery Store next to nt i on West street and handle only The Best Goods in my hoe. ~ Store Rent nor Clerk Hire to Pay; Therefore, I can sell you CO&t cheaper than other merchants. By permission 1 refer to Mr. Snlnev Blassengame of Bainbridge. When 1 fitted a truss on him he was suffering accutely with rupture on both sides. He was made comfortable-hi a few minntes aud was entirely cu*ed- in less than ten days. He then laid aside his truss and has not worn it since, That war nearly two years ago. ■ But the most remarkable cure I hftve ever known was thecaseof Allen Squire, a colored blacksmith on Water street, this city. On account of his advanced age. 65 veers, I feared his case was hope less. nut a complete cure was effected and he we* able to lay aside his truss in less than three months. This was over a vear ago And be has had no symptom or a return, of this; trouble. h ■ A Cue of 11 Y#ars Standing Cured. Bainbridge. Ga.. July 8th. 1901. 1 had rupture of eleven years stand ing. Mr. Hicks fitted me with a truss and instructed in a series of exercises— also diet* 1 was made comfortable as soon as the truss was fitted on and got well and laid aside the truss in less than two weeks.
