Mr. Bush For The Senate
The Search Light is glad to
note that Mr. W. J. Bush of Col
quitt, has announced for the
Senate from this sanatoria’ dis
trict, this being Miller county’s
time according to the rotation
plan, to furnish the senator. No
other announcement has been
made, so far as this paper has
been able to learn.
Mr. Bush belongs to one of the
most prominent families of South
Georgia. He is one of tne best
business men of this entire sec
tion, is a true and tried Demo
crat and is a man who believes
building up and developing
along all lines that will be for
the best interest of the people.
For one, the Search Light be
lieves that in Mr. Bush this Sen
atorial District would have a
representative of whom all the
people would feel justly proud.

BIG LEAP FOR
BAINBRIDGE
From Long Rest, City Suddenly Springs
Into Great Activity.
Bainbridge has suddenly awoke
from a kind of business snooze or
slumber, if it might be turned
such, to a business activity not
equaled b/ any place of its size
in the state of Georgia. Before
the end of another year
there will be spent in real im
provements in the city, counting
some work that has just been
finished, the huge amount of
nearly half a million dollars.
This statement may sound a
little weighty to some who had
not given the subject close
thought. But a careful survey

that the statement does not
amount at all to an overestima

mouths on the site where the old
Democrat office stood. Just last
week, the plot of ground on
which the W. W. Wright ware
house stood and was burned
down last year, was sold to Mr.
J. W. Shannon of Babcock, and
it is likely that a handsome thea
tre building will be put up on
this lot. This deal was made
through D. R. Bryan, one of the
real estate men of Bainbridge,
and is one of the recent transac
tions that go to prove that Bain
bridge property is mighty solid
stuff. The lot is just in front of
the Search Light office.
Besides these there have just
recently been new residences
built and contracts let for the
building of others besides large
improvements on quite a number
that means nearly a hundred
thousand dollars in that feature

handsome home of Dr. J. D
Chason on Shotwell street, the
home of Mr. H. C. Draper on
Academy street, and that of Mr,
C. C. Willis, on Independent

amounting to many thousands of

day evening, June 3rd. On Sun
day the service was held in the
Presbyterian church. The Bac
calaureate sermon was preached
by the pastor, Rev. J. E. Ward.
His theme was “Reverence for
that which is sacred”.
Monday evening the court
room was crowded with friends
and relatives of the sweet,
young graduates. At 8:30 Pro
fessor Thomason and Rev. W. H.
Higgins of Thomasville, followed
by the graduates, entered the
hall while Miss Floyd played the
processional march.
The invocation was then said
by Rev. Walter Anthony, pastor
of the Methodist church. Miss
Slocum’s instrumental piece was
well rendered.
The Salutatory was given by
Miss Sarah Farrar. This young

LETTER TO CORN

Interesting Information on the Sdjtd

Tifton, Ga., June 10, 1912.
Dear Sampson: —
Your good letter received, and
I am glad to hear from you, as I
am always to hear from any of
the Corn Club boys. You have
raised an important question, so
I am sending a copy of your let

by reading them. Below you
will find them.
“Dear Sir:—June 7th we had a
very bad storm and the wind
broke out the tops of parts of
my corn. It is just bunching for
tassel. Do you think it would
be necessary to remove these
stalks? or will they make corn?

The breaking out of the tops
of your corn will not injure it in
the least, unless they have brok

be interesting to you and the
other Corn Club boys to know
what relations the tassel and
silk hold toward each other.

“Summer’s Fancies,” chorus
by the High School girls, was
sweet. The address of the eve
ning followed this. It was de
livered by the Rev. W. H. Hig
gins. In his good old Irish
way he congratulated the class
and spoke of the “lonely star”
sitting among them. Then he
proceeded with his subject “Re

Then came the duet, by Misses
Marie Diffee and Josie Slocum,
entitled: “Under the Banner of
