The Park Dramatic Company
Those popular show people art
no stangers to Bainbridge, but
they come here this season with
an entire change of program, and
are presenting this week some of
the finest plays ever seen in the
city.
The Search Light man attended
Monday night and sa w “The Man
Who Dared” and pronounces it
one of the best plays he has yet
seen presented. As the Search
Light man saw it “The Man
Who Dares” to be honest and
truthful, is the moral in the play.
At least this was the lesson receiv
ed from the presentation. It
is said the plays throughout the
week have been good, but none
could hardly be better than the
one mentioned.
Mr. Park and his son, Sam
Park, are known oersonally to
the editor of the Search Light.
They are natives of Kentucky
and of course nave a special in
terset in the South. They have
great faith in the future develop
ment of this section of Georgia
and Florida as well as Alabama.
In fact, Mr. Sam Park said in
conversation with the editoi,
that “the whole South is coming
to the front. ” and said that this
is one of the best sections in all
the world for the farmers of
Northern Kansas and other
sections of the Northwest to
locate.
Mr. Park and Son have recent
ly made considerable investments
in property in the state of
Georgia, Flordia, Alabama and
Texas. /
Mr. E. A. J. Rich, was a visi

“The Girl in The Taxi”
“The Girl in the Taxi,” a hil
arious melange of music, merri
ment and mountains of mirth, is
announced at the Grand Theatre
for an engagement of one night,
Friday, November 10th.
"“The Girl in the Taxi” comes
with an enviable record in this
country and abroad. It scored a
sensation in Paris and eclipsed
all runs where long careers are
common. In New York, it was
greeted as the funniest play
Broadway had ever witnessed.
In Chicago, it played to capacity
business for upwards of 250
nights. In Boston, it broke all
records for attendance and box
office receipts and carried off
high honors for length of en
gagement.
A cast of unexcelled comedians
present "The Girl in the Taxi,”
which contains just enough danc
ing, singing and music to relieve
the rapid-fire pace maintained by
the numberless complications
which crowd the play from cur
tain to curtain.

This is the picture of H. M. Stanley, the Dublin Editor, who is

A Cold Storage Proposed.
In conversation with Mr. Mel
vin Nussbaum a few days since,
that gentlemen told the editor of
the Search Light that his com
pany would make an experiment
with the cold storage business
this season H the farmers of the
county would join them in the
work.
In other words, Mr. Nusbaum
said that a large Gold storage
room would be arranged at the
ice plant in which to cure the
meat for the. fanners if enough
was promised them to justify the
experiment this season. He said
if as much as 60,000 pounds was
promised them they would go
ahead and prepare the plant.
The plan is not to buy the
meat, but to cure it for the farm
ers as it is killed and brought in,
by putting it away in a room
kept at the proper temperature
to insure the meat curing with
out any being lost. By this
method every piece of meal
would be saved.
One of the best features of
this plan is that the fanners
could kill the rpeat as soon as it
was ready, regardless of hot
weather. It is the case some
times that a farmer has to feed
his hogs for several week after
they are fat in order to^wait for
weather cold enough to keep the
meat from spoiling.
It is hoped the farmers will
take up the matter with Mr.
Nussbaum and see if arrange
ments can be made as mention
ed. With proper preparations
for the curing there would be po
need of a single pound of meat
in the county being lost on ac
count of hot weather.

holy bonds of matrimony Sun

George Bruton, a colored,
farmer, brought to the city Sat
urday a potatoes of the veHbw

pounds. It was about the finest
potatoe seen in the city this
season.
The farmers are very much
disappointed on account of the
low price of cotton. They nat
urally expected better prices
than they are receiving. The
present low prices will dause
many to plant less cotton an
other year. It may, after all
prove a blessing in disguise.
