White Springs, Fla., and buried
in the cemetery at that place.
The remains were accompanied
by Conductor T. J. Hornsby, of
Bainbridge and Mr. A. D. John
son of Tallahassee.
Mr. McDonald was 32 years of
age and unmarried. He had
been with the G. F. & A. road
about seven months. During
that time he had endeared him
self to the officials, as well as the
employees of the road, and was
considered one of the best men
in the service. He had made
numbers of friends in Bainbridge
since his residence here and they
all speak of him in the very high
est terms. Mr. H. L. Hill, ac
whose home he boarded, says he
was a high-toned gentleman in
every respect, and that he made
friends of all with whom he came
in touch.
He is survived by his parents,
a married sister, Mrs. Johnson
and a sister, all of whom reside
in White Springs, and by two
brothers, Messrs. R. E and J.
E. McDonald, both living in Ful-
ford, Fla. The two brothers
were
guests of Capt. Hornsby. They
stated that they wished to extend
their sincere thanks to the road
officials, employees, and others,
for the kindness and sympathy
shown the family in the time of
grief and sorrow.
NEW INDUSTRY
FOR BAINBRIDGE
Brick Plant to be Operated by Mr.
L F. Patterson.
A new industry for Bainbridge
will be a plant for the manufac
ture of a patent brick, and will
be owned and operated by Mr.
L. F. Patterson. It will be re
membered that Mr. Patterson re
cently sold out his interest in the
clay brick plant to Mr. A. J.
Rich.
The patent brick is known as
“Sanderson’s Improved Chemical
Brick”, the material of which is
sand, minerals and chemicals.
Some of the brick have been left
at the Search Light office to be
examined by those interested in
building material. It is claimed
for them that they harden with
age and that they are proving to
be among the best building ma
terial known. They have a per
fectly smooth surface and will be
uspd for what is called “face
brick” for finishing work. It is
believed that these brick will be
the future building material of
the world.

MAYOR & COUNCIL
HAD LIVELY MEET
Questions of Position of Tclepkooe PoIm
Was Bom of Corttatioa.
A considerable discussion arose
at the called meeting of the May
or and Council the other night
over future position of the tele
phone poles in the paved district
of the city.
As is known, the telephone
poles were allowed to be put out
side the curbing in the streets
and have been allowed to remain
there. When the recent paving
work was begun, it was found
that the serious blunder in the
past would have to be overcome
in some way and various sugges
tions were offered.
The Southern Bell Telephone
Company had representatives at
the called meeting of the Mayor
and Council. They submitted a
proposition to the city which was,
that they would move the polea
from the streets to the curbing
and would allow the city to use
the poles of the company, provid
ed the city would pay them rent
for such use. This offer was
declined, and an offer was made
by the city to allow the poles to
be moved to the curbing; provid
ed the city could have the use of
the poles without rent. The tel
ephone company accepted this
offer, which means that the
territory west from Spring creek
would be a benefit financially to
this side of the creek. He says
the taxes in this county would
not be near so high, and besides,
he says the roads would be put
in good condition in muib shorter
time. He contends t: it with
the present road force a.J^with
the large territory it vT^ be
many years before some sei“
of the county get good roues.
