The Searob Light erred last week
in stating that Mr E. Y. Clark, the
brilliant young lecturer, appeared in
the opera house this city. Because
of laok of time tor advertising his
appearance, and the faot that affairs
conflicted, it was decided to ■ call in
bis lecture.
Several new barges and one new
dredge boat that have recently been
completed at the shipyards in West
Bambridge will be delivered to tbe
government this week. The dredge
boat wbioh is tbe smallest of the lot
will he delivered at Albany to
wbion point it will be towed by the
John R. Sharpe.
We are grateful to our friends for
their recent pleasant oomments on
the.appearanoe of the Searoh Light.
Their oonfidenoe shall strengthen i*
in our efforts to furnish Bainbridge
and D oatur oounty with one of the
livest newspapers she has ever had -
A phone message always finds us
waiting to oatoh the news.
The annonnoed oonoert of the 4th
Regiment Band last Sunday even
ing on the oourt house square was
thoroughly enjoyed by our oiticens.
Hereafter we understand that these
concerts will be given bi-weekly,
Friday and Sandav evenings. We
hope that oar oiticens will appreoi
ate this effort of the bsnd and that
they will throw them their support.
Mr. L. C. Graham, of Cairo, was
in Bainbridge last Friday and
dropped in to see us. He was for
a number of years one of the most
successful teachers in the public
schools of this oourty, but gave up
teaching last yesr to take up dentis
try. He has been attending tbe
Southern Dental College, of Atlanta,
where he is taking a high stand.
It would be a grateful act if the
city fathers would do something to
abate the dust nuisance during tbe
ooming summer. And it oould be
done. Other towns no larger and
not half so progressive as Bainbridge
own and operate street sprinklers.
It will certainly add greatly to the
attractiveness of our streets and the
comfort ot every one. Gentlemen
shall we look forward to speedy
relief?
Tbe next meeting of the Union
hu nil ay Sohool Convention will he
held with Log Union ohnrob m Mil
ler county, about eight miles north
of Donalsonville. the first Sunday in
May and all schools west ot Flirt
River are invited to join the oonven'
tion in its ooming session. An old
time basket dinner will be spread on
the gronnds and the assurances are
that those who attend will have a
pleasant time.
On Friday morning last in the
parlors of the Wainman Hotel, in
this oity, Mr. J. W. Morley and
Miss M. M. Powell, both of Ozark,
Ala., were quietly married. The
young oonple came in on the early
morning train from their Alabama
home, and as they appeared to he
somewhat in a hurry about the mat
ter, Judge Maxwell was promptly
summoned to the scene, livense pro'
oared and the nnptial knot tied. Tbe
oonple took the noon train Friday
and went their way rejoiomg, and
every one abont the Wainman knew
that a marriage had ooourred.
