The Barnum and Baily Circus will not ex-
hibit at Fitzgerald and while editor Mercer is
sad, he draws consolation from the rumor that
the Gentry Bros. Pony show will not give his
town the go-by-Bainbridge Searchlight.
And now comes John Robinson. We invite
Editor Briuson to come up Circus day, and
see the best town in South Georgia.
4 We annouce to day the candidacy of ]. H.
Goodman for theso Office of county treasurer
While all county offices are supposed to be fill
ed by honest men and worthy the county treas
urer is particularly an Office that the people
usually want to fill with men whose reputation
for honesty and whose high sense ofintegrity is \
above the average. DR.. Goodman is regarded
as safe conservative man. Nobody who knows
him doubts his honesty and conservatism. He
is eminenty qualified and it goes without say
ing that most of the people who know him will
endorse his candidacy, and he is pretty we'll
known in Ben Hill county.

E very local editor is conscience striken at
the fabrications he is called upon to make in ex-
plotting certain people, and one of these in a
Georgia city, has come to the conclusion that
those who would be puffed must pay for the
wind, and he has adopted the following
prices:
For telling the public that man is a sue
cessful citizen, when be is as lazy a govern
ment mule, $2.75.
For referring to a deceased citizen as one
who is mourned by the entire community, when
he knows he will only be missed by the poker
circles, $1,000
For referring to some galavanting female
as an estimable lady whom it is a pleasure to
meet, when every business man in town would
rather see the devil coming, horns hoofs and
ali, than to see her coming towards them, $40.
For calling ordinary pulpit FOUNDER an
eminent divine, 60c. go
For sending tough sinner to heaven, with
poetry, $5.00.-Macon County Citizen.
The schedule is pretty well timed, but there
s IS one thing that forever precludes our adopting
IL that IS the fact that we can not bring our
