Bainbridge expects a big trade
this fall and winter. Now is the
time to reach out for it. We need
a dozen or more ootton and tobacco
buyers here to bring about suob a
result.
Of our Legislative delegation Hon.
R. Brinson and Col. J. Gilpin have
returned onoe to the bosom of their
“dear constituents.” It is now up
to Senator Harrell and Bennie Bow

From the great number of pretty
babies in this town we would infer
that the Biblical injunction of “mul
tiply and replenish the earth” is
honestly and industriously lived up
to. And this is as it should be.

The stench m oertpin quarters on

There is one thing that we are
desirous of oalling the attention of
our city and county authorities to,
and that is the absenoe of elctrio
lights on the bridge leading across
the river to West Bainbrdge. For
some reason, the commissioners or
dered these lights out off some time
ago, and since that time the publio
has been greatly inoonvenienoed.
There seems to be a difference of
opinion between the city oonnoil and
the commissioners as to whether the
city or the county should keep up
these lights. We hope that the mat
ter will soon be adjusted and that
the lights will soon be replaced on
the bridge.
It baa been discovered that hyste
ria may be permanently oured by a
process of “kissing,” in ^onsequeoe
an epidemic of the malady is sweep
ing over the land. So far as Bain
bridge is coneerned, we merely
opine that there is small cause for a
general spread of ihe disease here
since it is oonoedcd that the “prooess”
employed by Bainbridge youths and
maidens “works like a charm.”
It is said that a lot of Atlanta ‘fans’
who have heard of the transcendent
greatness uf Bainbridge, are serious
ly considering an attempt to drag
us into the Southern Baseball League
next season. Atlanta would look
like the proverbal IS cents when
she had for once ran up against the
real thing in the way of Jack Bower
in tbe box and the famous John Hun
ter behind the bat. Say, let’s not
join'qny way.
The Search Light is greatly pleas
ed at the number of correspondents
that are coming in from all sections
of tne eounty and we tdke it to mean
that the people of the whole county
are taking an active interest in local
matters and are reading the paper.
The Search Light is striving to give
a service that will be complete so far
as the county is concerned.
There is not the slightest doubt
that Deoatur county crops are lead
ing those of the other counties of the
state. The truth of the matter is,
that few counties in Georgia com
pare with ours in diversified agricul
ture, in health, climate or anything
else. In other words, we are the
people.
Some weeks ago we announced
upon anthorty of “Bank” Butler
that it was possible for two happy
hearted lovers to sit up hour after
hour with but one chair in the par
lor. He now informs us that the
mistake was all his; that he recently
tried the experiment and it failed to
work.
We understand that Col. Wig
Geer has received the appointment
to the sohcitorship of the city court
ot Colquitt, in Miller county. Col.
Geer leceives the appointment from
Governor Terrell, of whom he was a
strong supporter, according to his
friends in the last raoe.
Why not some enterprising citizen
construct a fleet of naphtha launches
and pleasure boats and place them
on thft bosom of the beautiful Flint
ere tbe opening of the next tourist
se ison. Such a venture in our esti
mation would be worth the while to
consider.
The postoflice might be allowed to
run all tbe time without change—it’s
going on all right enough.
