This Farewell address was de
livered by Washington April, 17,
1797 upon his retirement from
the Presidency of the United
States, after having served two
terms.
He began his address “Friends
and Fellow Citizens”, and.ex
pressed his appreciation of the
honors conferred upon him by
his countrymen; these honors
were: Commander-in-chief of
the American Amy, and Presi
dent of the United States for
two terms.
The people offered the presi
dency to him for a third term
but he refused it, saying, that
no man should have the presi-
dsney for more than two terms,
so as to give other men a chance
and if they held it for more than
two terms it would make the
Government too much like
monarchy.
His reasons are such that all
our future presidents should fol
low his example; his declining the
third term as president and what
he said on the occason has become
what is called the “Unwritten
Law.”
Washington when he spoke of
the“Unity of Government,”
meant that all states or other
divisions of the U. S. ought to
stick together on all occasisns and
not badivided.
^,The people of the U. S. today
ought to cherish the idea of unity
because if there was not unity
the different states might have
always been fighting each other,
or some great power might have
conquered us.
As 1 have said before, Wash
ington does not believe in section
alism. He said that there ought
net to be a division of the U. S
such the North and South,
East an i West except geograph
ic, ily.
Party spirit is an iner thing
chat Washmgtcn was ainst.
Ha said that tn mate rule

a kind of feelir.-* or revenge.
There are two sice to this, if it
were not for rart v spirit one man
wculd no doubt i un alone and
thereiore have i clean sweep of
the country whether good or
bad, but as it s there are nearly,
if not always two or more men
ni the race.
The evil which resulted from
party spirit is, that if the Demo
crats have a better man in the
field than the Republicans, the
Republicans still will not vote
for the Democratic candidate,
because he is not of their party,
and the same way with the Dem
ocrats. It also causes many
disorders.
To have a successful Govern
ment, it must be based on
morality, and religion. The

One of the largest audiences
ever assembled in Bainbridge met
Sunday Evening in the Meth-
otBsf Church for the observance
of “World’s Temperance Sun
day.” 7*le service was a Union
Gathering there being present
sail the p^tors of the city, with
their congregations, and the
large bdilding was taxed to over
flowing;’
Following prayer b» , Rev. J. E.
Ward of the Preaby t&’ian Church
Dr. Carl Minor delivered a stir
ring address upon the bearing of
the day and the occasion upon
local needs. His message was
an out-spoken, fearless arraign'
ment of the Beer Saloon and
liquor situation in Bainbridge.
He had the congregation with
him, and the message will un
questionably bear fruit.
The little song “They Need
More Religion,” as sung by
Messrs Hooten and Branerd,
brought the house to applause
such as is rarely heared in a
church.
Two most excellent addresses
were delivered by Mrs. Cox and
Mrs. Albert Russell of the local
W. C. T. U., under whose auspi
ces the service was conducted
The stepreopticon slides were
bpth interesting and instructive.
One of the most enjoyable
features of the service was the
singing by the Cyrene Institute
Quartette. These young men
in their song: ‘ ‘Save The Boys, ’’
made a powerful appeal for the
abolition of the saloon.
The audience was dismissed
with benediction by Rev. Mr.
Ward. The service is one which

The death of Mr. Harry 1^
Graham at his home in Brinson
last Friday, mention of which
was made in the Search Light ot
last week, has cast a gloom over
the entire community.
He was one of the best known
business men in this section of
Georgia. Being the leading
spirit of the Stuart Lumber Co.;
he was thrown in contact with
the business interets, not only in
this county, but throughout
southwest Georgia. He was for
every enterprise that would de
velop the county, and his advice
was sought in all such matters.
Mr. Graham was a Kentuckian
by birth, but has been living in
Georgia for many years.
His remains were buried Sat
urday in the cemetery at Brinson
The funeral ceremonies were at
tended by hundreds of sorrowing
fronds. The burial was in the
Maconic order, he being a mem
ber of Orion Lodge here.
In witness of the high esteem
in which Mr. Graham was held,
his grave was literally banked
with select flowers.
He is survived by his wife and
several children who have the
sympathy of the people through
out this entire section.

Cyrene InstiMe Debt
The debt which had hung as a
mill stone about the neck threat
ened its very foundation is now
being rapidly raised. The move
ment was started off gloriously
at Cyrene a few Sundays ago.
Mr Will D. Upshaw, the “Geor-
Cyclone,” preached on Sunday
morning. His subject was “Old
Time Religion, ” and his audience
was held spell bound for moro
than an hour. After the sermon
Mr. Upshaw presented briefly
the cause of Christian education
and its claim upon all Christian
people. He then in a touching
manner appealed to the Cyrene
people to make such a liberal
donation that it would kindle in
spiration and enthusiasm and
set a glorious example for every
church and community within
the'bounds of the school. And
glorious was the results of the
collection which followed! More
than $5000 was raised. The
intense interest manifested by
the student body was one of the
most inspiring scenes ever wit
nessed here Every student sub
scribed liberally, some even pled
ging to pick cotton and do other
work that thgy might have a
part in paying this dept. What
a glorious example for Christian,
giving! Collections have also
been taken at Iron City, Donai-
sonville and at Lela, and the
people at these points have
responded liberally. The total
amount raised to date is almost
$10,000.
Mr. Upshaw will take up thir
wefrk again soon, beginning in
Bainbridge on Sunday, Novem
ber 24th.' He willgive his entire
time to the work from then till
Christmas and if possible not
only lift every cent of indebted
ness but also raise a large sum
tci additional equipment, which
in. badly needed. Every loyal
c'ii ,t n of Decatur County should
be preud of every school within
her herders, and should embrace
this ODportunity to help Cyrene
in this crisis.
Christian friend, let us appeal
to you to give your hearty sup
port aqd liberal donation
for the cause of Christian educa
tion. If our section ever obtains
recognition in the councils of
state or nation it must be
through education and Chris
tian training. Look well to the
interest of our schools and our
progress and prosperity is
assured. As we speak to our
schools, they will speak to the
state and nation.
Notice.
Our Gin will run Thursday
Friday & Saturday of each week
after November 15th until De
cember the first then on Friday
and Saturday until December the
the 24 at which time we will shut
down for the season.
Respectfully,
