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 af cne p. rtv over an I her causes 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.

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 Talking to the Point. Hr.RE GnhM’tDnt 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. “Lyceum Course. The committee that has in charge the great entertainment treat for Bainbridge this winter, has begun active march recently, by soliciting, means of citizens who will support the “Lypeum course.” This is a movement which will not soon be forgotten, and should appeal to the civic right- whose power will ' - felt for eousness of this community, ler months to come.

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.
