BAINBRIDGE, GA., DEC 27, 1912.
The Search Light will likely
begin something interesting
within the next few weeks. It
might be well enough for you to
keep your eye on the Search
Light.
If you want to size tip the
cause of the great trade for
Bainbridge during the last days
before Christmas, you may put
down one thing about like tb s:
There was no carnival this year
to carry away the money just be
fore Christm is. We are feeling
much better and most people
have been able to trade a good
deal more by the absence of
these money getting turnouts,

Great Christmas Trade.
Bainbridge has enjoyed the
greatest Christmas trade in recent
years. This is the verdict < f all
the merchants, as gathered by
the Search Light man who made
a round of the business houses
late Tuesday night and again
yesterday morning.
The big rush of trade began
Saturday. Monday was another
excellent trade day. Tuesday,
which was Christmas Eve, the
great rush began early in the
day and continued until late at
night. A number of merchants
say the day was by far the best
they have everenjoyed. Among
these are Blumenstein, Willis
& Co., J. M. Scott, Boen ficlcher,
Clarence Belcher, Haire &
Wilson.
Counting in the three days
the trade was enormous. It ex
ceeded by far that for the same
time last year. The Flint River
Store was busy with a small reg
iment of clerks from earlv in the
morningn till late at night all
three of these days, sending out
goods by the wagon load, buggy
load and bundles in every, direc
tion. J. M. Lamg, C. B. Scott,
Geo. H. Fields Co., C S. Had-
don, J. M. Floyd and a number
others had about the same expe-
rince. The jewelry stores had
an immense trade. The same
may be said of the grocery
stores, drug stores and all other
places of business.
Everybody is speaking in an
optimistic manner as to the fu
ture outlook.

We Offer the Best on the
Market to Our Trade
Realizing that the success of our bus
iness depends upon the quality of
merchandise we sell our customers,
we have selected the tongwear line
of Shoes, and want you to see the
nobby styles received in our last
shipment.
You can’t afford to buy “style” aldftft-what you want is a
combination of style, fit and service—all of which you will find
Mr. J.C Griffin.
In another p are will be found
a card of thanks from Mrs. J. C.
Griffin of Fowlstown. The death
of Mr. Griffin wrs a source of
deep regret to his hundred of
friends throughout th s seetion.
Mr. Griffin is said to have
been the oldest depot agent in
point of service on that road,
having been agent at Fowltown
ever since the road was built.
It is also said that he had never
lost any time and that his busi
ness was kept to the letter
throughout the entire service.
The Search Light counted
Mr. Griffin as one of its best
friends, and it is a source of re
gret that the office was not in
formed of his death until it was
too late to publish it last week.

Bainbridge,
A few weeks ago we used this space
to tell you of the advantage of killing your
hogs as soon as they were ready, and put
ting them on cold storage. Those who
killed after the Thanksgiving snow and did
not place on storage are now in grave dang
er of losing their meats.
Read what successful farmers have to
say about our method of curing meats.
Mu-baum loo Co.
P«w Sin:
lam sending you a toad of
bams and shoulders which I wish
you would place on cold storage
for me. I used your system last
year and saved every pound I
placed with you. Some of this
had been killed a week and the
weather had turned warm before
I brought it to you. I recommend
its use to all farmers.
R. L. Campbell.
Nussbaum Ice Co.
Dear Sin:
I used your cold storage for
curing bams and shoulders last
year and must say that I am de
lighted with the system. I got
better results than I ever got in
curing without using cold stor
age.
(Signed) C. S. Hodges.
Your system is a great success;
the one best way to save meat.
