FARPOW ARRANGING TO VISIT BAINBRIDGE EVERY 28 DAYS at the BOX AIR HOTEL TUESDAY FEBRUARY 18th BAINBRIDGE, GA., FEB.. 7. 1913. WHY NOT CELEBRATE? Why couldn't Bainbridge have a big day either in March or fn April? This question has been asked a number of times, of course the dates given above not being mentioned, but a number of people have asked why it is that, Bainbridge could net have a big day to celebrate the improve ments that have been going on for the past several months. The magnificent school build ing .will in all probability be com pleted by April, or a* least by some time in that month. 1 he City hall will lie nearing comple tion, if n t already finished by that time. The street paving has already been completed. The great white way has been installed. The extenti ;n ol the water works system was finished months ago. Both the Callahan and Bon Air Hotels have had great improvements made Many other buildings and im- provemented have been going on during that time. Many things have happened to Bainbridge during tin* past year that should put the "celebrating” spirit in the people. Yet no move in that, direction has as yet been made that we know of. Other towns and cities gener ally have big days to celebrate such occasions. Albany had such a day on the completion of her white wny and other im provements last year. Other towns and cities could be men tioned where they had a regular barbecue day, or something of the kind, to let the outside world know that the people in these cities appreciate the work of im provement and progress. Bainbridge should not be a whit behind on this line. Her paved streets are as beautiful and solid as can be found in any city in the state. Her White Way is one of the most complete to h§ seen anywhere. Her new school building will be second to none in the entire South, especially in a city the size of Bainbridge. Her waterworks system, since the extension has been installed is as near perfect as could be made. Her city hall will be a beauty, and would do credit to a place much larger than Bain bridge. Her handsome resi dences—those which have been built before, as well as those re cently built or now being complet ed are second to none. Her mag nificent hotels are the pride of all the people. Why can’t we celebrate? Suppose we set apart a day. some time in the near future! and invite everybody in Decatur and surrounding counties to come in and help us rejoice and cele brate Such a day would mean an an nouncement to the wcrld that The big National Corn Show in Columbia is bringing the South to the front as the great corn producing section ol the country. T he south may at. last, ho a factor in feeding the nation, ah well as furnishing the cloth ing. If every Democrat in Congress had the backbone of Anderson Roddenbery of the Second Con gressional District of Georgia, marriages between the races would not be known any more in these United States. We wish even all the other southern con gressmen had the same grit as our own Roddenbery Atlanta is having her usual mayor and alderman scrap. This is almost, an annual occurrence in that town. They are bound to keep up with the procession in that line. The biggest guns now are being fired by Mayor James G. Woodward and Alderman John S. Candler. Of course, each one believes the other is wrong. You may look out for this to be the banner year for hog and hominy in Decatur county. Tht farmers aie going to raise corn, ground peas, and other food lor hogs; and then they are going to raise the hogs; and more than that, they are going to build cold storage and save their meat. Prices of meat this year will be a great incentive to the movement. Besides the hogs, more cattle than usual will he raised by the farmers. At this writing (Tuesday), news lias been flashed over the world that the guns of the Bal kans are again thundering against the Turks at Adrianople. It is believed that this stage of the war will he short, but dread ful in slaughter of human life. The Balkan allies believe their future existence is at stake and are fighting to the death. The Turks, who have had the Balkan States under their rule so long, are making a last desperate ef fort to save their national pres tige. The Federal income tax law has at last been ratified by sufficicient number of stat?s to make it a part of the constitu tion. This is said to be the first amendment to the constitution of the United States since recon struction days. Incomes of $5000 and up will be taxed. The state of Wyoming acted on the amend ment Monday and its ratification made the sufficient three-fourths bT the states to ratify the meas ure so that it would become a provision of the constitution of the United States.
