THE BAINBRIDGE POST-SEARCH LIGHT
GIVING OUT
The Struggle Discourages Many
Citizen of Bainbridge.
Around all day with an aching
tack,
Can’t rest at night;
Enough to make any one “give
out.”
Doan’s Kidney Pills ade helping
thousands.
They are for kidney backache;
And other kidney ills. Ask your
neighbor!
Here is Bainbridge proof of their
merit:
Mrs. S. S. Smith, 223 River St.,
says: “I had dull, nagging backaches
and my kidneys were in a bad condi
tion. The least exertion tired me out
and I often had headaches. My kid
neys acted irregularly, too. Doan's
Kidney Pills were recommended to
me and I found them to be just as
represented; the backaches soon left
and my kidneys were in good order.
I know Doan’s are worthy of a trial
by anyone having weak kidneys.”

Our City’s Future
Our city's future is safe, if we plan
for it today. There are conditions ex
isting in our town today, which could
not have been possible, had the citi
zens of a few generations back ex
pended some thoughts on today, rath
er than building wholly for contem
porary development.
Your Board of Trade is concerned
with the future. It devoted some of
its energies to today, but no action
should be taken today, however ben
eficial, which may be a detriment to
future generations. Nothing, how
ever profitable, should be done by a
city today, which may be a conven
ience, an eyesore or a positive handi
cap to progress ten years hence.
Vision is the all important essen
tial of the successful Board of Trade.
Vision rears great cities. Vision to
day will make us a greater and a bet
ter city.
Food, Feed and Fertility First
The Board of Trade is carrying on
a campnign among its farmer neigh
bors, assisted by the Farm Bureau, in
effort to divert the agricultural pro
gram into a sane system. Decatur
county is far developed along diversi
fied agricultural lines as it is. The
reading matter on this particular sub
ject is prepared in simple and easily
understood English and the plan is
endorsed by the banks of the county
and city of Bainbridge. Every farpi-
er in Decatur county is being mailed
a copy of this pamphlet.
In the olden days, folks defended
their city with their life’s blood. To
day, there are folks who wont even
defend their city against the slan
derous tongue of a neighbor.

When Yon Buy Poultry Feeds
Don’t make it guess-work. You can eliminate the risk
by our iron-clad guarantee. The money paid for Purina
Chicken Chowder wifi be refunded if hens, when fed
do not lay more
eggs than when fed with any other
ration.
Most hens get too much grain, a large
part of which goes into surplus yolks, which
the hen absorbs. This makes the hen too fat
and cuts down egg production. 100 lbs. of
wheat, corn, oats and barley contain elements for
224 yolks, but only 154 whites. The feed of a
laying hen should supply elements for both
whites and yolks in CfJUtll quantity. Purina
rations are rightly balanced. Based on Experi
ment Station tests,
J
Purina Feeds contain
the following;

SERVICE IN INSURANCE
The Secretary of the Board of
Trade recently reminded Congress
man Park that the early restoration
of our agricultural interests was the
most vital featue of our economic
and financial reconstruction. Having
in mind chiefly the disaster that faces
our peanut growers because of the
heavy importation of the Chinese pea
nuts, which can be grown in that
country under intolerable conditions,
transported here and sold cheaper
than our farmers can raise them and
especially when the Southern farm
er is in his efforts to break away
from the cotton drudge, has caused
the secretary to plead with the con
gressman to stand for a tariff on
peanuts. Our living standard must
not be lowered!
ANNUAL MEETING

t'EUS ELECTED.
The Bainbridge Post of the Ameri
can Legion held its annual meeting
in the Elks Hall on the evening of
December 22nd. A very interested
and enthusiastic membership gather
ed in the comfortable room extended
the boys through the courtesy of the
local Elks, who carried out the routine
business of the organization and made
some interesting plans for the ensuing
year.
Possibly the principal and most in
teresting plan on foot is the organi
zation of a ceremony squad, who will
offieite at all ceremonies, attend and
provide military escorts and funerals
for service or ex-serviee men as per
mitted by the govenment. This squad
will be composed of snappy men and
will add interest and dignity to the
ceremonials. The business tension

themselves in anything pertaining to
their welfare. The evenings session
came to a close after refreshments

PRESTON & KIRBO
Optisism prevails in Decatur coun
ty! This would make a capital head
line. And there is no reason why
this should not be the case. Admit
ting that the flush times of yore have
passed, the fact remains that we have
no actually suffered. We have weath
ered the worst of the depression that
naturally followed the period of in
flation—and which was steadily
bringing us to economic ruin—now,
we are getting back to normal and
as we look around, we observe how
fortunate Decatur county. Her to
bacco crop was marketed before the
drop. Many cash crops were disposed
of. Other commodities like cotton,
corn, peanuts and naval stores were
caught, but the future, according to
experts, promises relief there. The
majority of the individuals are to
day better off financially than they
were at a same period before the in
flation. They have profited, The
statement *of the Bainbridge post-of
fice shows that their receipts on De
cember 31st, exceeded by $10,000 any
prior record year. Post-office
ceipts are truly the pulse beats of a
community’s prosperity and these are
encouraging. Most refreshing too, is
the analysis of the Bainbridge banks
condition, made by the writer. The
total deposits of all the Bainbridge
banks on December 15th, was $1,745,-
946, the deposits of the year bef4>re
by several thousand dollars. This
doesn't seem like such hard times. It
is an indication that our people have
lots of money. Many of the retail
merchants insist that their trade is
brisker—that! they are encouraged.
The oil mill, crate factory and Miller
Manufacturing Company are running
again. The majority of the other in-
dustires continue to operate.
To talk hard times only spreads
gloom ar.d such talk is a fallacy, to
a large extent. If you owe a bill,
pay it and help the other fellow meet
his obiigalpn. Then) realize that
conditions are not so bad; swap your
hard time talk for optimistic^om-
ment and then let optimUire-Jr^vmii
Out of the extraordinary and beau
tiful success of the Sing, Tableaux
and Christmas Tree on Christmas
Day Afternoon, has grown an excell
ent idea.
Mrs. Gordon Chason, most capably
assisted by Mrs. Russell in the scheme
of the Sing, sees the opportunity for a
greater Community Spirit. And it is,
the introduction of Singing in the
Sunday afternoon Band Concerts.
Ami in the event, a celebration of our
seasons, which is being heartily dis
cussed can be made practical and un
animous—then we would be ready and
all the stronger for being ready.

damp and cold, long before the time
scheduled; 5:30, for the Sing, every
