To the Stockholders of the Coun
try Club of Thomasville. Greet
ing:
Iu making this annual report I
intend to be brief and to call your
attention to some of the work
that has been done . and to the
changes that have taken place.
Our roads have been put in fine
condition and the grounds have
been cleared of rubbish and leaves

in all the places wliere such work ,
seemed advisable. The eMpen-j***[ o]i [ for ,
ters have .repaired the gun house,
bridges and buildings this fall at
a coat of about two hundred dol
lars. t The tennis court and golf
oourse are in most excellent co|>,
dition andthe same can be said
of the bridges which have beeu re
built. Audj the ones that were
destroyed by the freshet last Sep
tember have been replaced as
have also the one* that had be
come unsafe owing to age.
In the removal-by death of onr
steward, Wm. Moore, the club
suffered the loss of a faithful ser
vant who always filled bia posi
tion admirably. We are fortu
nate in having other competent
employee# who have undertaken
to take charge of the Clnb House
and I am glad that no word of
complaint has been heard and
trust the present arrangement will
prove satisfactory.
Automobiles have made their
appearance in onr grounds and as
they have come to stay and as
there will probably be numbers
of then); from now on, I would
suggest ' that they be .welcomed
and that certaiu roads be alloted
to them, so that -people driving
fractious horses will know where
they-enn drive and feel sure that
tlioy will not meet autos There
fore I suggest Shat the old bicyele
road juBt inside the fence be con
verted into ;• road for automo
biles. Also I would suggest that
the club or else the members as
individuals encourage the present
game laws which have been pass
ed «o stop quail shooting for the
market and take steps to form a
game protective association which
will also own the shooting rights
on as many good fields as seems
advisable and issue weekly,
mouthly and season tickets for
same and thus draw sportsmen to
Thomasville and in this way in
crease the number of winter visit
ors that will be desirable clnb
members.
One other subject, that may
seom out of place in this report, I
wish to toudh upon—and that is
<the condition of the woods bor
dering the road leading from town
to onr elnb (grounds. The dump
ing of rubbish should be stopped
and if the members of this olub
will me their iuttuence with ths
authorities, I think the evil will
soon he remediedr
