OFFICIAL ORGAN
OBOATUR COUNTY
AND BAINBRIDQB.
Bainbridge, Qa., October 9, 1903.
ANENT OUR CITY ELECTION.
The election in this city last
Wednesday was a quiet one, only
a few of the candidates even ap
pearing on the grounds except for
the purpose of casting their indi
vidual ballots. Those who ran
were candidates by request of the
citizens, and therefore those not
elected cannot feel that they have
been defeated for the reason that
they have made no decided fight
for the position.
The seeming listlessness on the
part of the candidates was not
because of a lack of appreciation
of the office, but more from a de
sire that the citizens of the town
might entirely unhampered, cast
their ballots in this election. Good
men were elected and equally as
good were defeated. All are
friends and we believe that there
will follow an era of prosperity not
surpassed even by the marvelous
growth the town has attained dut-
ing the past five years.
The new board of aldermen will
enter upon their duties feeling that
they have the backing of the whole
town, and not that of any one or
more factions, to whom they may
or may not feel obligated.
Mr. Willis who was selected to
head the ticket has been mayor of
Bainbridgc before, and during his
administration the town prospered
greatly. The fact that he had no
opposition in the present race
should bear sufficient testimony of
his favor among his fellow-citizens
Backed as he will be by a strong
board of aldermen imbued with'the
importance of keeping tbeir city at
the forefront of Georgia munici
palities, continued material ad
vancement along every wholesome
line may be expected.
The Search Light congratulates
the town on it present prosperous
condition, and on the fact that the
campaign just concluded was not
allowed to rend the town in fac
tions. We believe that the same
conservatism that has attained
throughout the campaign will
characterize the official acts of the
men who have been selected to
direct the destinies of Bainbridge
for the two promising years to
come
bulton county’s grand jury is
calling time on the justices of the
peace. Rumors have reached their
ears that the magistrates are abus
ing their offices by turning them
over to the many- conscienceless
money lending sharks, who seem
to abound in Atlanta,' for the pur
pose of oppressing the poor and
defenseless and extorting usurous
rates of interest out of them.
Every justice will be investigated
and the guilty ones punished.

We believe that people wish to
trade where they can do best, and
that to get kheir trade it is neces-
sary to do best by them. This is
the principle that we have tried to
apply, and it has proven effective.
We are sure that our business will
keep on growing. It will grow
because all those features that
have brought trade are still in op
eration. We want your trade, and
we ask for it solely on the basis of
our intention and ability to do you
good. We ask you to come here
whenever you need anything that
a druggist ought to sell, and feel
sure that if you come once you
will continue to come.
