Remember when you kill a fly u may be saving a human life. Death of Little Jack Shaw. On June 12, 1912 at 9:15 o-m the Angel of Death visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Shaw and overshadowed it with deepest sorrow, by taking from them their darling Marvin Augus, better known as “little Jack”, and carried him to the heavenly home where pain and death en ters not. While our grief is almost too heavy to bear, yet we find un told consolation in the thought that this little darling is free from the evils of life—that he has returned to Him who gave him to us.. He came to cheer and brighten the home on July 3, 1910. His life was beautiful and sweet with bright hopes for him in the future with the hope that he would grow up as a strong stal wart character to give honcr a: d praise to God, he was lavished with warmest affections, yet God in his infinite knowledge took him from us, and bore him to that heavenly land. Before he knew any troubles of life or stam or sin, his short life was ended. It seems that his sweet face is looking this way. with outstretch ed hands beckoning us to the home beyond 1 he skies. In submission to a just and merciful God we give him up saying “God knoweth best” We can’t understand why we were bereft of thir little darling, but His will must be our will. We could only gaze upon those closed eyes and innocent lips which uttered, “Mama, Mama” as farewell to us and as the last words of his bright young life.

Under the auspices of the health committee of our City Federation next Monday will be inaugerated a death dealing cam paign, against the fly. The fly is the moat deadly in-1 sect known; One fly will pro-1 duce twelve generations in one Summer. A single fly breeds more than two hundred million descendants in forty days, and every one of them, if allowed to live becomes a carrier of typhoid, consumption, fevers, catarrah, plague and every communicable (iiease from which mankind suffers. Their breeding places are in garbage cans, slop buck ets, horse and cow lots, and any place where filth is allowed to lie undisturbed. We have been working for months past for a more heathful City, and as one means towards this end, an ANTI FLY CAM PAIGN will be carried on by the Federation for the next two weeks. There will be prizes awarded to the \yhite children under 16 who kill the greatest number of flies during the two weeks begin ning June 24th. There will also be awarded another list of prizes given the colored children who kill the greatest number during these two weeks. Two separate and distinct con | Mr. Nicholson a Candidate. j In another place will be found the announcement of the name of Mr. W. T. Nicholson, of Cli max, as a candidate for Repre sentative from Decatur county. This comes by his friends after the most earnest solicitation. The Search Light makes no hesitancy in saying that if elected Mr. Nicholson will reflect credit on Decatur county by a faithful discharge of his duty as a legis* lator. The editor of the Search Light and Mr. Nicholson have not agreed on all political questions, but while that was the case, they have had the highest personal regard for each other, and the editor wishes to say here and now, that he believes Mr. Nich olson to be one of the purest men and soundest Democrats in the state of Georgia. Mr. Nich olson has made a long study of the political situation of the state and probably no other man from the county could be sent as a Representative who would be better prepared to help frame legislation for the best interest of the whole state. As a citizen of Decatur county Mr. Nicholson would faithfully guard every measure that he be lieved would be for the best in terest of his own people. His former work in the count v for pure politics and sound Demo- prizes have been generously do nated by our merchants, and will be on exhibition in the window of Mr. Suber’s Jewelry Store.
