Syrup Mill for Quitman,
Parties here have received lets
ters recently from capitalists in
Philadelphia inquiring about Quit-
man as a location for a cane syrup
mill. Some of them have annnun-
ced an intention of coming here
next month to personally investi
gate the matter.
The syrup industry in South
Georgia is only in the beginning
of its development and it is merely
a matter of time until big mills
will be established to manufacture
cane syrup. This will, of course,
be of advantage to the tanners,
since, as the syrup industry in
creases, it will be impracticable for
each cane grower to make up his
syrup in small quantities.
The mills will have improved
machinery and employ the best
methods and will produce uniform
grades of syrup. The farmers
will simply sell their cane to the
mills, or else have it made up by
the mills as they now have their
cotton ginned by centrally located
ginneries.
The increased demand for Geor
gia cane syrup, the increased area
of farming lands in South Ge rgia
and the growing cane acreage will
logically result in such mill, and
if the Philadelphia people men
tioned do not locate a mill here
somebody else will. Quitman is
in the center of the cane section
and is an ideal shipping point and
would be one of the best towns in
South Georgia for the location of
such an industry.—Free Press,
All of the above is true, and this
is the character of mill that we
hope to see established in Bain-
bridge soon.
A Sad Death.
We are seriously pained to
chronicle the death of Miss Ada
Odom, which occurred in the west
ern portion of this county last
Sunday morning at I o'clock after
a brief illness of pneumonia. Miss
Ada was the seventeen-yeai-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. K.
Odom, and was loved by all who
knew her.
She joined the Baptist church
at Salem two years ago and was a
consistent member up to the time
of her death.
During her illness her father
called in two physicians, and all
that medical skill and love could
suggest was done, but God knew
best. He chasteneth whom he
loveth. She bore her affliction with
Christian fortitude.
“A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home*
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has called
The boon of love had given,
Though the body slumbers here,
Her soul Is sate in Heaven."
Her remains war' buried in the
Salem ceroc ory Sunday afternoon
and were accompanied to their
last resting place by a host of sor
rowing ones.
To the bereaved family and rel
atives are extended the sympathy
of the entire community.

Accidental Killing at Cairo
A special from Cairo to Sun
day's Savannah News contained
the following account of the acci
dental killing of a young man well-
known in the eastern portion of
the county: .•.,**
Spence Tyrrell, a flagman on
the local Atlantic Coast Line train,
was thrown between the cars as
the local left here this • afternroori
at 4 o’clock. . The brakes were not
working satisfactorily and Terrell
was trying to remedy the defect.
He fell and was diagged about,
fifty yards before the train ,was
stopped. Terrell was brought
bac. to the depot where Atlantic
Coast Line Surgeon Arline ren
dered all assistance, Drs. Bush,
Arline and Walker accompanied
Terrell to bis home, seven miles
west of Cairo. Col. Terrell drove
to this place to meet his son. Mr.
Terrell was carried to Whigham
his home and died two minutes
after arriving,
Deceased was the son of Hon.
R. R. Terrell, of Whighalm. who
is one of the most prominent citi
zens of that town. He also has
relatives in this city who were
deeply shocked to learn of his un
timely and sad death. He had
been working for the railway com
pany a short time and had proven
a competent and trustworthy em
ployee. The remains were follow
ed to their last resting place by a
number of friends and relatives.
The Search-Light extends sym
pathies to those who are bereaved
by the sad occurrence.
Union Aid Society.
There was organized on Febru
ary 15 th last in Newton, a wadies’
Union Christian Aid Society, with
Miss Pauline Lazonby as president,
Mrs. S. Cox, secretary and Mrs. C.
F. Norris, treasurer. Of course
it took some time before the soci
ety could be placed in good work
ing order, hence the time of its op
erations covers but little over a
month, and during this short time
away off, where there is but little
material to operate with, these
few earnest workers have accumu
lated the sum of £90, to be divid
ed between the three churches
here; the Baptist, the Methodist
and Presbyterian.
The Baptists are making repairs
upon their church, the Methodist
ate prepanng to build a new
church and the Presbyterians have
a debt to pay off of their church,
hence this money that these good
women are making at a heavy sac
rifice to their comfort will come
in good time, «
May God bless them in their
good work. But for the good
Christian ladies of the land, who
can say what would become of re
ligion and all other good causes in
the land ? Very truly,
Mrs. L .W. Shaw.
