E. Donalson, Pres. Bainbridge F. W. C. My Dear Mrs. Donalson: Thru you as President of the Federation of Woman’s Clubs of this city I wish to express my respect for and appreciation of the efforts of that organization to better the civic welfare. It is probable that there will be times when I would gladly enlist your co-operation in the interest of the children of the public schools. Just at present I am anxious.for a favorable outcome of tne bond issue that the material conditions may be so improved as to add greatly to comfort, spirit, schol arship and health. Should my calling this import ant matter to your attention in duce you to aid the Board of Lady Visitors for the school in its ef forts to secure these values I shall be very glad and apprecia tive. Very sincerely, J. F. Thomason. At a meeting of the Bain bridge Woman’s Club on Wed nesday, October 3rd, a motion was made and carried that the following recommendation be of fered the Bainbridge Federation: In consideration of the vita^ question to be voted upon by our citizens on October 28th, the voting of the city bonds for a new school building, it would be well for every woman to interest herself in this important matter, and bring to bear* her individual influence upon the men, not only of her immediate family, but up on every voter that she knows. If the issue is to be a close one, it is further recommended, that the Federation adopt such measures as may see..i .aost ex pedient to bring about the pass ing of these bonds, thereby se curing a new school building and putting our children in line for better educational advantages.

That Rev. C. T. Clark should have been removed is very much regretted, both by his members and numbers of admirers who are not in % his flock. The splen did manner in which the business of. the Conference was conduct! a and the ability displayed by Mr. Clark, reflected great credit on Bainbridge. A favorable -and lasting impression was made on the visiting Pastors, and we appredbjte the energy of Mr. Cifurk, for his chprchand his city He i* a very lovable man, and our daily contact with him is an inspiration to us. When he leave* us and enters upon his new field, we will miss the hearty hand-shake and pleasant greet ing that always awaited us- Mr. Clark is a man of convictions, he alway* takes n firm stana v on the moral side of questions. Hisles sons from the pulpit are deliv ered in an impressive end force- 1 ful manner.. Having had the South* Georgia Conference with us, gives us an opportunity to better realize and determine that we have had a Pastor who would do full credit to the largest charge in the Con ference. Now that we are to lose him, we express our deep regret. We shall miss him as Pastor t Friend, Citizen, and from every standpoint that a God fear ing, Christian gentleman should be missed. Council Proceedings At the regular meeting of the Mayor and Counoil Monday night a recess was taken until Tuesday night, when the body met again and trnsacted some very import ant business. Those present when the meet ing first opened were Counciinien Callahan, Baggs, Jaing, and Nussbaum. Mayor Jno, E. Toole came in later. Duing the Mryor,s absenpe however, Mayor Pro Tern Callahan occupied the chair. Gne of the interesting works of the body was the fixing of licenses for near beer places for 1912. There developed a consid erable difference of opinion in re gard to this, Messrs. Callahan and Baggs favoring a higher license, the others favoring , low Tiie Election In Decatur. Pope Brown carried Decatpr county yesterday, by a small margin, only 35 votes being to credit over the next nearest man, Joseph M. Brown. Only 876 votes were cast in th j coun ty, Pope receiving 356, Joe Brown 821 and Dick Russell 199. Three districts did not hold any election. These were Bells, Fowltown and Kendrick. The yote by districts was as follows: Bainbridge, Pope Brows, 86, Joe Brown, 149, Russell, 53. Attapulgus, Pope Brown. 18, Joe Brown, 5, Russell, 10. Belcher, Pope Brown. 5, Joe Brown, 2, Russell. 22. Brinson, Pope Brown, 46, Joe Brown, 18, Russell, 10. Climax, Pope Brown, 41, Joe license.

Eight place made application for the privilege td sell near beer, including one wholesale house. These were all granted. Another interesting matter was the fixing of the pay for the Mayor and Aldermen for another year. Besides a smalLsalary the Mayor has heretofotV been re ceiving a fee from fines, arrests, etc., which has amounted to a considerable sum. It is under stood the entire sum last year amounted to more than $1,500, It will probably amount to more than this next year. It is thought that this amount is more than the Mayor of Bainbridge should re ceive, and besides, there is con siderable opposition to the fee system in any form. After some discussion the salary for the Mayor was fixed at $600 for the year and the Aldermen. to re ceive $4.00 per month.

It will be seen that, on the num ber of arrest, fines etc this year, the amount put into the city treksuary next year by abolishing fee system will be something iikel&OOO, which is a considers; bie item of retrenchment for a place the size of Bainbridge.
