Some New Enterprises.
If reports are true Bainbridge
will in a short while have several
new and up to date mercantile es
tablishments. There are rumors
of a racket store, gents’ furnish
ing and dry goods stores, all ol
which will be opened up in the
course of a month or as soon r.s
they can find suitable locations.
Mr. George Wooten,' of Way
cpiss. who is welt known here was
in the city this week making ar
ringcments to open up a dr\
goods store at an early date. H-
is endeavoring to secure one ol
the new Shingler stores for tht
period of six weeks or two .months,
during which time he will have or
exhibition a handsome line of dry
goods and notion?; he will not r< s
,natn longer than two months, af
ter which he will remove to an
other city.
Mr. Burnett from Valdosta, has
been in the city for the past sev-
rai days looking for a location
n which to open up here a whole
sale grain house. He has several
places ifl view and will doubtless
decide on one of them within the
next few days. His prospective
business will be a valuable acqui
sition to the commercial interests
of Bainbridge and it yvill be a sue-
cessful venture to him. Mr. Bur
nett is an old resident of Bain
bridge,' having left here about
fourteen years ago. He has many
friends here who are welcoming
him and who will be pleased to
have him again as a citizen. Mr.
Burnett is enthusiastic over the
growth of Bainbridge and is anx
ious to again cast his lot with us.
It seems that the news of the
handsome stores Mr. Shingler is
putting up on Broad street Jias
spread abroad and he has had a
number of applications from peo
ple in ocher cities who wish to
come here and go into business,
and who desire to rent or lease his
stores. There will be six hand
some, roomy stores in the Shingler
block and it already promises to be
one of the chief business centers
of this city.
George White, of Macon, the
deputy revenue collector of that
district has been appointed to suc
ceed Hon. John M. Barnes as mar
shal for the southern district ot
Georgia. While originally from
New York, Mr. White has resided
in Georgia for over fourteen years
and is considered well qualified
and thoroughly capable to fi'l the
position.
At the ooming Gram! Lodge of
Odd Fellows to be held in Valdosta,
an effort will be made to have the
Odd Fellows Home which is to be
soon erected, located at Macon. No
doubt yiaoon will have a strong
foliowii g as it is more centrally
located than other cities and is e:-
pecially suited for the Home.
Sir Henry M. Stanley, the great
African explorer and adventurist,
died this week. He deserves to
rest alongside the immortal Liv
ingston in Westminter Abbey.
Millions of boys and girls have
read with bated breath the thrill
ing stories of his exploits among
the jungles.
The tellows who are clamoring
against the election of judges and
solicitors by popular vote would
have you believe that under the
o'.d plan there was no rascality at
a'l. It appears to us that it is
as dangerous to corrupt the
legislative body as the people at
large.
