It is a cause for delight ; to the
heart of every citizen to witness the
rejuvenation of the good old town of
Bainbridge. We behold on every
hand signs of new life, new energy,
new blood, uew capital and new en
terprises, which mingled with the
old, and the wonderful natural ad
vantages and resources of the beau
tiful little city will be the making of
the leading city of this section. Now
is the time for every citizen to do
hisduty and lend bis aid and influence
for the public good.
