One was the action of the City Council which passed an ordin ance under which the Near Beer Saloons will have to go out of business on January 1st 1913. The other was the action of the South Georgia Conference in returning Rev. Walter Anthony to Bainbridge for the next year. The absence ot the one, and the presence of the other in Bainbridge for the next twelve months will add much to the material and moral wellfare of our city, and for both of these good things let us be thankful, Wellwisher. the homebuilder; and that to be a true wife and mother one should attraction must be used for hat be not only housewife, but at1 ™ ctl ° n only The tickets teacher and artist as well.

Much interest w&b shown in the preceedings of the Mayer and Council at their regular meeting Monday night. Besides several other matters of inter est it was the regular time for fixing the tax on the near beer places for the ensueing year, This measure was the center of interest and it was made all the giving and is warm enough for, more interesting because of the shirt sleeves by Sunday. | f act tbat Bucb a determined fight If the meat is placed on stor-. had been made to do8e the beer age as soon as killed there is no sa i oon8 up danger of the loss of a single pound, and the only possible loss is the agreed price for the cold storage which is, from all we can gather, very reasonable.

This is a record tc be proud of, and it begins to look as if the school at Cyrene will soon be re lieved of the financial embarrass ments. If the friends of education all over the territory would rally to the cause of Cyrene it will soon be above the waves.

The chairs and desks are in all steel furniture, which is the very latest and best for schools and balls. They bought the furniture for the auditorium as well as for the school proper. They also bought teacher’s desks. It speaks well that the order was given to a Bainbridge firm, the council taking the proper view of the matter, that all things being equal, Bainbridge people shall have first choice in such matters. U. S. Court Next Monday The United States District Court Southwestern Division of the Southern district of Georgia will convene in Valdosta next Monday. Quite a number of attorneys from the Bainbridge Bar will at tend the court either part or all the time. Some very important matters are to be tried at this term of the court The license placed on near beer saloons for 1913 was $10,000.00 with other restrictions that will make it practically impossib’e for them to operate ip Bain bridge. The readers are reft rn»d to the ordinance as published in this issue of the Search Light for the features contained in the ordinance. This act of the city council winds up a year’s work for this administration that will mark it as a year of more work than was probably ever accomplished by an administration before in the same length of time. In summing up the things that have been accomplished in the city the work of paving the streets comes in as one of the biggest items. -The $50,000 school building rA^funder way of construction is another big item to their credit. The beauti ful White Way, is still another big item. The building of a city hall, which work has just been begun, and which will be rapidly pushed to completion, is to be added to the rest. The extension of the water works system wus probably after all, the most far reaching piece of work that has been done. This is certainly true as regards sanitation and health. It is re markable how much work can be done by a live, progressive body of men in one year’s time. There is not a place in the United States the *ize of Bain bridge with a more progressive, wide-a-wake Mayor and Couuci). Every single one.jOf them is a splendid business man and all have shown themselves to be men of sound judgment in matters that affect the welfare of the people of the city. It might be well enough to add that a petition was presented the Mayor and Council Monday night asking for the beer saloons to be closed. These petitions were signed by 547 people. This shows the interest on this subject being taken by the peo- of th* city. $5 Reward—Will be paid for lo*t dog.Pointer; slightly over me dium size; color mostly white; dark lemon spots; three spots on one side; spot between eyes ■car on hind leg; eyes brown; answers name of “Rex”.

I We shall not see his like Jim Russell died Saturday morning November 30th at four o’clock after having been con fined to his bed for eight months and one week with tuberculosis. James Simeon Russell was born in Bainbridge on the twelfth day of August. 1855 .and spent- hi* boyhood and early youth in this city which was then a village. His father died when he was quite a bov and so as soon os he was able to go out into the world on his own account, he took up the task of making a living. His first employment was at the wharf, checking freight for the steamboat line. Later when the railroad came into Bainbridge he was employed by ' the express company as a messenger between this point and Thomasville., Af ter some years of service in this capacity he was promoted to the official position of Route Agent and later was made agent at Jacksonville, Fla. Serving as agent for some years, he was promoted to the position of spe cial agent which was in effect the office of Assistant Superin tendent. At that time he was serving under D. F. Jack who left the service of the express company and Mr. ’Russell went with him in the capacity ol Pur chasing Agent of the J. T. & K. W, Railroad with office at Jack sonville, Fla. From that posi tion he accepted the appointment as Comptroller of the city of Jacksonville sometime in the ’80s.' While serving in, this capacity, he attracted the attention of the Officers of the Guarantee Com pany of North America of Mon treal Canada and was offered and accepted a responsible posi tion with that company with Head Quarters at Atlanta, Ga.* From Atlanta, he was trans ferred to New York, the compa ny having created the office of Superintendent for him there. After two years in New York, the Guarantee Company opened a Southern Branch Office at At lanta and Mr. Russell was ap pointed General Agent January first. 1894. In 1905 he was offered the position of Vice Presidunt of the Southern Ohio Express^Company in Cincinnati Ohio grid accepted that position. Mr. Russell remained in Cin cinnati for one year and then re turned to Atlanta where he represented several bonding com panies throughout the Southeast ern states. Mr. Russell i to his old home to accept a tion with the G. F. A A. road in the fall of 1909 and rol newed many of his old time ac quaintances and became identi fied with the progrese of hi birth-place which had now he come a city. He was an ardent Knight ,o Pythias and one of the chariei members of the lodge of Owli and a member of the Unitariai Church. He leaves a widow and two. children, Ben, a young lad of sixteen and Mary, aged dlls With small opportunity for edu cation as a boy Mr. Russell had so improved his opportunities that there were few questions concerning which he could not converse fluently and he always took an active interest in the issues or the day. Too young to answer to the call to arms, ho was however, a great admirer of . our southern soldiers and ever ready to extend a helping hand to an old veteran.
