oldest citizens of Bainbridge,

after an illness lasting several
days’. Mrs. Broom was 73 years
of age and lived at the place

Mr.

Abe Faircloth and Miss
Onieda Hayes, both of

rece iving a line of the prettiest

Mr. T. E. Sutton of Climax,
will put in operation next week
the new machine on which he
recently obtained a patent for
trimming grass on railroads, for
marking lines and for side ditch
marking.
The first use of the machine
will be on the Chattahoochee
branch of the A. C. L. railroad
just below Climax. It will be
the first real try-out of the
machine and will be watched
with considerable interest.
The machine is expected to do
the work of 20 men in the mat
ter of trimming grass from the
road bed. It is claimed for it
that the operation will be very
simple and that it will be one of
the most useful pieces of ma
chinery used on railways. Be
sides being a perfect grass cut
ter it will be a line marker and
side ditch marker as well,
Mr. Sutton has had a number
of offers for his patent, and says
he is likely to sell it to some

Those who do not come to Bain
bridge often have no idea of
the enormous quantities of gooffs
being received at the Flint River
Store. Mr. Bruton has been in
New York for several weeks and
carload after carload has been
coming in for the past several
days.
Bainbridge people take a pride
in boasting on three things in

applies onlj to the inland cities
She has the largest boats of any
inland city in Georgia. The John
W. Callahan and Ruth No. 2, are
among the finest river steamers
plxi.ng any river of the country.
Bainbridgfe has more beautiful
oaks than ^ny other city in the
state, or o^ the United States for
that matter! This is admitted
by every one who visits here.
Then,'’; jlinbridge has the
largest G.y goods establishment
in the state, and probably of the
South—the Flint River Store.
Hundreds of visitors go to the
Flint River Store just to see the
immense building and the en
ormous amount of goods carried
in stock.
The meeting of the Medical
Society of the Second Congres
sional District in Bainbridge on
Wednesday of last week was a
most interesting event. The
papers read and discussions fol
lowing were full of interest, and
should have been heard by every
body in Bainbridge and Decatur
county, if such a thing had been
possible. When the public begins
to understand the importance of
such meetings more people will
attend, •
The dinner given by the local
physicians and prepared by Mrs.
J. C. Neely, was splendid in
every respect. The excursion on
the magnificent steamer, John
W. Callahan that afternoon and
night, was one of the most de
lightful occasions enjoyed here
in a long time. About a hun
dred people from the ci y accom
panied the doctors on the excur
sion. The Bainbridge Concert
Band furnished the music. The
people of Bainbridge are proud
of their band. It is developing'
into one of best musical organiza
tions in the state. The music
they furnished for the excursion
was higly enjoyed by all.
The supper given by the
ladies of Bainbridge and served
on the boat, was a magnificent
spread of good things too numer
ous to attempt to mention, The
long table was beautiful and waa
literally loaded with the very
best.
Nothing occurred to mar the
pleasure of the occasion and all
pronounced it one of most pleas
ant trips they had ever enjoyed.
Following are the papers read
during the meeting:
