The writer though a nember of the present board, •fill not be a candidate for re flection, and being (in the lan suage of the law) perfectly im partial between the state and the accused, in the capacity of a pri vate citizen desires to submit one thought to the voters. In the five men to be chosen, there should be one man who is con versant with the road to be trav eled, in order to teach the young idea how to shcot. Mr G. B. Toole, a member of the present hoard, is the man. He has been a successful teacher, and his abil ity is known of all men. The tact that he is also a Christian gentleman, and a patriotic citi zen, does not detract from his capacity to fill this position for the good of Bainbridge. He should be unanimously elected Albert H. Russell. To Try New Patent. Blumenstein, Willis & Co. Mrs. W.

MEETING OF THE MEDICAL SOCIETY Hayes-Faircloth. Mr. Lillie Abe Faircloth and Miss Onieda Hayes, both of Blumenstein. Willis & Co., are rece iving a line of the prettiest dn d knobbiest clothing they have ' ,er carried. This is saying a good deal, but a visit to their store will convince anyone that e Search Light is about right ln making the statement. These goods were bought by r ’ blumenstein while on his np in which he visited Germany. r - Blumenstein says they are ■>niong the best and most up-to- te line of clothing and gents r mshings they have ever car- tied. Mr. T. E. Sutton of Climax, will put in operation next week the new machine on which he recently obtained a patent for trimming grass on railroads, for marking lines and for side ditch marking. The first use of the machine will be on the Chattahoochee branch of the A. C. L. railroad just below Climax. It will be the first real try-out of the machine and will be watched with considerable interest. The machine is expected to do the work of 20 men in the mat ter of trimming grass from the road bed. It is claimed for it that the operation will be very simple and that it will be one of the most useful pieces of ma chinery used on railways. Be sides being a perfect grass cut ter it will be a line marker and side ditch marker as well, Mr. Sutton has had a number of offers for his patent, and says he is likely to sell it to some firm.

Mr. Bruton has been in New York for several weeks and carload after carload has been coming in for the past several days. Bainbridge people take a pride in boasting on three things in which she is ahead of and city in the stqicp, one of these however applies onlj to the inland cities She has the largest boats of any inland city in Georgia. The John W. Callahan and Ruth No. 2, are among the finest river steamers plxi.ng any river of the country. Bainbridgfe has more beautiful oaks than ^ny other city in the state, or o^ the United States for that matter! This is admitted by every one who visits here. Then,'’; jlinbridge has the largest G.y goods establishment in the state, and probably of the South—the Flint River Store. Hundreds of visitors go to the Flint River Store just to see the immense building and the en ormous amount of goods carried in stock. The meeting of the Medical Society of the Second Congres sional District in Bainbridge on Wednesday of last week was a most interesting event. The papers read and discussions fol lowing were full of interest, and should have been heard by every body in Bainbridge and Decatur county, if such a thing had been possible. When the public begins to understand the importance of such meetings more people will attend, • The dinner given by the local physicians and prepared by Mrs. J. C. Neely, was splendid in every respect. The excursion on the magnificent steamer, John W. Callahan that afternoon and night, was one of the most de lightful occasions enjoyed here in a long time. About a hun dred people from the ci y accom panied the doctors on the excur sion. The Bainbridge Concert Band furnished the music. The people of Bainbridge are proud of their band. It is developing' into one of best musical organiza tions in the state. The music they furnished for the excursion was higly enjoyed by all. The supper given by the ladies of Bainbridge and served on the boat, was a magnificent spread of good things too numer ous to attempt to mention, The long table was beautiful and waa literally loaded with the very best. Nothing occurred to mar the pleasure of the occasion and all pronounced it one of most pleas ant trips they had ever enjoyed.
