HOTEL BON AIR OPENS.
Referring to the Jewish new Year
which occurred Saturday, an exchan
ge say*:
’’The day is not a holiday so much
as it is a holy day. It is a time of
solemn and earnest prayers, of intro
spection and self-review. It is called
variously the Day of Memorial, the
Day of Judgment and the Day of
the Trumpet. It has received this
last title on account of its peculiar
service, the blowing of the sholar, or
ram's horu.
As the merchant at the beginning
of the secular year casts up his led
ger and sits down his debts aud cred
its, so does the Hebrew observer of
the New Year balance his life accoun
ts, repents sincerely of his fault*
and follies, The old year of sins ia
buried in the cemetery of the past
and the New Year, a child of hope,
turns its face toward the future.
Eight days after Rush Hashonah

Atonement”

The opening of the Georgia South
ern Military college of this city last
Monday for the fall term was au hn-
portaut event to the town,
school opened with a full attendance
and a faculty of experienced aud
gifted teachers. Mauy scholars
from this and surrounding counties
were enrolled and President Dunn
hopes for a term of unparalleled suc
cess. Several new chairs have been
and are to be added to the course
during the year and it is certain that
success will come to reward the in
terest manifested by the trustees,
faculty and friends of the school.
Bainbridge should encourage in
every way possible this institution,
and we know that she will-
The beautiful hotel Bon Air, which
was recently completed at great cost
to its owners, Powell Bros, and
Chasoii, threw open its doors to the
public Tuesday morning and is uow
running in full blast. The opening
was an informal one, hut a good
many of our citizens and traveling
meu took the opportunity of sharing
the first meal in the new hotel.
The Bou Air is au elegant three-
storv structure erected on the site of
the old Sharon hotel and is equip
ped throughout with tlii latest im
provements, including elevators, etc.
It was erected at a cost of $50,000
and is a credit to any town. Its
owners, Mess. Powell Bros, and Cha-
son are among the most thrifty and
thoroughly progressive citizens of
the county. They believe >n Bain
bridge and her bright future. (Hun
dreds of others share the same opin
ion.)
Mr. Babcock, the genial proprie
tor of the new hotel, is said to be one
of the most successful and thorough
ly competent hotel men of the coun
try, and has operated in many states
of the union, having at one time
managed the Hotel Waimnan, when
it first opened. He came from Brad
ford, Pa., to take charge of this
place, aud has it leased for a number
of years. Mrs. Babcock is also a
most estimable lady and will greatly
aid her husband in making the Bon
Air one of the deservedly most pop
ular hosielries of the state.
With bright prospects for Bain
bridge. with everything else seeming
ly propitious, the welfare of the
hotel is promi*ing indeed. We trust
that its promoters may meet with
that success which their enterprise
merits.
All Bainbridgo joined Thursday
in the memorial exercises held at.
the Methodist church in honor of
the dead president of the United
States. Promptly at 10 o’clock the
Bainbridge Independents, company
I, 4th Ga. regiment, assembled at
their armory, from where they
marched to the Georgia Southern
Military college and were joined by
the cadets.
From the college, the line of
march was led by the 4th regiment
band followed by the military com
pany, then the cadets and the mem
hers ot the faculty of the school.
The memorial services were con
ducted from the Methodist church,
