I had kidney complaint awfully. My

hardly keep going. I felt miserable.
Dizzy spells came over me suddenly,
my sight blurred and my kidneys
acted irregularly. I read of Doan’s
Kidney Pills and used them, getting
niy supply at the Ehrlich Drug Co.
They were just what l needed and
three boxes cured me of all signs of
kidney trouble and my back was
strong and well.”

^Community Unity.*
Are We Content?
Fellow citizens, are we content?
Is our city all that it should be? Has
every man in our community the op
portunities that are his guarantee un
der our Constitution? Are our living
conditions, our educational facilities
and our public institutions up to the
best standard of other cities? If we
lack in any of these or any of the es
sentials of a modern city and are con
tent, we are guilty of slothfulncss,
yes, even of criminal negligence.
But we are not content. We can
not be satisified until we make a con
scientious effort to acquire that which
we lack, and that which is essential
in modern community life. We must
work eternally for the things needed
in our community until in all respects
our conditions are superior to, or on
a par with the best in other cities.
And the one institution designed to
work unselfishly toward this end is
your Board of Trade. It is promot
ing the good things. It is not con
tent to let matters slide. Its success
is your responsibility. .
If you must knock your town—
knock in the ears of the man who
can help or who knows enough to set
you straight.
The Secretary is in receipt of an
interesting letter from Congressman
Park stating his position on the tariff
for the protection of our farmers. The
Secretary’s letter to Congressman
Park was mentioned in this column
Inst week. Congressman Park as
sures this organization that he is
for a tariff that will protect against
Chinese, Japanese and Manchurian
products and he voted for a tariff of
3 cents a pound on peanuts, 26 cents
a gallon on peanut oil and 20 cents
a gallon on cottonseed oil. The Con
gressman, in a broadminded way, is
caring for his constitutents protection
and his stand is commended. Our liv
ing standard must not be lowered!
Citizenship is a responsibility ns
well as a privilege. There are too
many folk who consider it solely a
privilege.
The Board of Trade, Board of
Health, Woman’s Club and other or
ganizations of Bainhridge are anxious
that the streets and vacant lots be
cleaned of trash and rubbish. These
are unsightly in our otherwise beauti
ful city. These organizations will
first appeal to the individual pride of
the citizens to clean their premises.
Will you set the example?

The McArthur bill, now in Congress
provides for a continuance of Federal
aid to State Highway Departments.
If this bill should fail to pass, the
road building work in Georgia will be
cut in half. Georgia is entering an
era of good roads and no one will de
ny that they are a boon to industry,
agriculture and comfort. Our country
is already reaping the benefit of the
Federal appropriation. The U. S.
Government, In connection with the
State of Georgia, is aiding Decatur
county to build the concrete bridge
across Spring Creek at Brinson, the
Flint river at Bainhridge and improv
ing our already splendid roads in the
county. It would be folly for us to
idly set by and permit the appropri
ation to he withdrawn. Our con
gressmen and senators can be depend
ed upon to exert their influence and
efforts in our behalf, but a word of
encouragement from their constitu.
ency would not'be amiss. Write them
asking their support on the McArthur
bill.
Everybody seems to be enjoying
this rainy weather.
Mr. and Mrs. Coy Martin visited
Mr. McRee Sunday.
Miss Claudia Martin visited her sis
ter, Mrs. Ralph Cross, Sunday.
Messrs. Mack and Archie Johnson
spent the night with Messrs. Jesse
and Willie Garries Tuesday night.
Wonder who were those girls and
boys that went to walk Saturday eve
ning.
Wonder where those girls went
Sunday morning.
We understand that the Prosperity
school starts Monday, with Miss Flos
sie Burman as teacher.
We were sorry to learn that M.
Hiram Hunt and Mr. Gus Humphrey
joined the army Saturday.
Mr. W. E. Snell moved Wednesday.
Mr. W. H. Morn moved Friday.
Mr. Jesse Garries and Mr. Hubert
Mills took Misses Minnie and Sula
Harrell to the dance at Mr. Hunt’s
Friday night.
Miss Hattie Garries spent the night
with Miss Essie Park Saturday night.
Wonder who those hoys and girls
were that w.ere sewing Saturday.
Mr. Jack Polick looked mighty
lonesome Sunday p.m. Wonder who
he was looking for?
Mr. German and Martin Harrell
looked mighty lonesome riding around
Sunday p.m. Guess they were hunt
ing themselves a girl.
Mr. Cator Martin and Mr. Luther
Dodson spent the day with Mr. H. H.
Park Sunday.
..That two-step that Miss Nora Lee
Humphrey and Mr. Daniel Hunt were
doing Friday night sure was nice.
Mr. Ben Humphrey attended the
dance at ^Mr. Hunt’s Friday night;
reported a nice time.

The movement for community uni
ty, as discussed in another column, is
an excellent movement and has the
endorsement of this organization.
Anything that will engender commu
nity enthusiasm is badly needed in
Bainhridge. Without the spirit and
its resultant bonding o fties in co
operation, we become as driftwood.
This is serious thought for any com
munity. Pageants for children,
games for youths, sings and gather
ings for the adults must result in
good. And another feature offered
by this program is that it develops
leaders. Have we a sufficient num
ber of leaders in Bainbridpe?

it done right. Best work for less money. When you have
old clothes to sell, bring them to me, or call and I will come
and get them, if price is right.

The Board of Trade, as well as
Bainhridge, lost a useful member and
citizen in the death of Dr. W. W.
Griffith. Dr. Griffith has been in
tensely interested in the activities of
the Board and was one of its strong
est supporters. We can ill afford to
lose such good men. The condolences
of this organization go to the be
reaved relatives.
A man lives only when he measures
life by its intensity. The one who
keeps his eye on the crawling hands
of the clock never finds out the real
secret of a happy and contented life.

The Board of Trade held a meeting
last Friday night with a fair sized
audience in attendance. As an
nounced, the meeting was turned into
a discussion, pro and con, on the pe
tition of the G. F. & A. Ry. to dis
continue their passenger trains Nos.
3 and 4. The pros had it. A complete
story of the meeting is in another
column. If there are any people in
Bainhridge who oppose the reduction
of train sendee, it is manifestly un
fair to the Board of Trade, the rail
way officia); and themselves that
they did not appear and discuss the
matter plainly and in a friendly,
manner. The railway officials pre
sented their arguments and we hope
that the action of the body meets with
the approval of the public. The Board
of Trade presents an open forum for
discussion of all matters pertaining
to public interest.
