Harrell will at art early date resign
from the position he has held for
the past four years as Referee in
Bankruptcy for the Eastern divis-
of the Southern district of
Georgia. Under the statutes this
would be necessary, by reason of
his election to the state senate.
As soon as Judge Emory Speer
returns to the state Mr. Harrell
will forward his resignation.
Mr. Harrell since his appoint
ment to the’ position, has filled it
to the entire satisfaction of peo
ple of the Southern district and to
the United States court as well.
He has given it an able adminis
tration and Ins retirement is re
gretted very much.
It is unofficially stated that Hon,
I Hansel Merrill ot Thomasviile
will be appointed as Mr. Harrell s
successor, which event the people
of Bainbridge will be much pleased.
So far as is known here Mr. Mer
rill has made no application for the
position.

Spring Creek, at a point three thought of before the tenure of
miles from its junction with Flint ■ the present official, is about to ex-
River The new boat, which has j pire. Surely a governor can -see
not yet been named, is ninety feet clearly before lie retires what is
in length and sixteen feet in \Vidth j needed just as well as just before
and it is calculated with her ma- he retires. The great troublujwith
chinery and fixtures aboard will
draw fourteen inches of water. PKr
freight capacity will be about forty
tons. In vewof the hard work which
lies before her on the river be
tween here and Albany, for which
trade she is being constructed, she
is being built of the very best tim
ber and every precaution is being
taken in her construction to give
her power to resist the rough
treatment which any boat plying
the up river must encounter, de
spite the efforts of the most cau
tious pilot. It is sate to say that
no boat has ever floated in these
waters which for strength in pro
portion to size will qonmare with
her/ * '
It is calculated that the boat
will be ready to float inside of two
weeks time, after which she will
be towed to Bainbridge and finish
ed. The boat as it now appears on
the skid, presents a picture of stir
ring humanity a multitude of peo
ple striving with tireless energy
and skillful effort for a common
end. And to stand and watch her
as with each slash of saw and stroke
of hammer she approaches com
pletion, is an interesting sight.
And to one who has the inter
est of Bainbridge at hand, and to
whom every acquisition to her ma
terial interests is a matter of in
dividual pride, the thought that
this new boat, owned and operated,
constructed and manned by her
citizens, is soon to be added to
her already nice fleet of steamers,
is a matter of more than pleasant
contemplation.
It is the hope and expectation
of the builders to have her ready
lor active service by the fifteenth of
November, after which time she
will make regular schedules be-
tween lteinbridge and Albany,
thus re-establishing the river cotn-
muncation which has been inter
rupted since the loss of the Bessie
Clary some months ago.
Here’s to Capt. Buchanan: May
be live to steer her on many sue
cessive and successful voyages,
enjoy a long and prosperous life
and receive all the while a bounti
ful share of that delightful bespit-
ality and courteous treatment at
the hands of whomsoever he may
chance to meet that it has beer;
the good fortune and genuine
pleasure 0^ this scr.be to receive
at his hands.

the present time and what he
would do were he •‘fortunate”
enough to be in position where he
could guide the fortunes of the
state. At the same time he hopes
to pacify the mere politician by
being only a man of words instead
of deeds. We need officials whohave
the courage of their convictions,
who are willing to do what they

ought to be done later, who v ould
