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 comes Yom Kippur, or the day of Atonement” U. S.M. O. OPENS. 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, Rector Hill of the Episcopal church opening with prayer, and Mr li. F. Hawes took charge of the ceremon ies.
