1 l3 mday of May,
The friends of Mr. J. E. Hamil,
the Water Street grocer will
learn with regret that he is in
Watkins Infirmary in Mont
gomery with his a serious trouble
with his eye, caused by an ac
cident on the 6th, of this month.
Mr. Hamil will have to stay
there until he is given some re
lief by the physicians as his
sight is involved. During that
time his store will of necessity
have to be closed until he gets
back. It is sincerely hoped that
his sight will in no way be im
paired that in time he will not be
much more inconvenienced by
the accident.
GEO. 6EBAN IN “AN ALIEN"
AT THE MIN THEATRE
“An Alien” it an amplified
version of the remarkably suc
cessful playlet, “The Sign of the
Rose,” which for five years
served Mr. George Beban as a
starring vehicle both in this
country and aboard.
In order to fittingly celebrate
an expected inheritance from his
late father, Phil Griswold, a
worthless young route, persuades
his friend Robbins to steal from
his employer, a fashionable
florist, the funds necessary to
make the revelry even greater.
To his chagrin Phil learns the
next day that he has been cut off
with one dollar, and thus the
two young men are placed in a
position from which they rea
lize it will be difficult to extri
cate themselves.
On a visit to the home of his
brother, William Griswold, Phil
notices his niece’s fear of an
Italian ditchdigger, who has
come bringing a Christmas tree.
He determines to kidnap Doro
thy, and manages to direct sus
picion towards Pietro (Mr.
Beban).
Searching the Italian quarter
tor the Alien in his automobile,
William runs over Pietro’s little
daughter Rosina and kills her.
Pietro wanders to the flower
shop at which Robbins is em
ployed, and entering to buy a
rose tor the little girls grave he
is seized by detectives, who
think him the writer of the mys
terious note which told their
client to know the kidnapper by
the Sign of the Rose.
Motion Picture News says:
“The culmination is a happy
one from an artistist standpoint,
since it is so vividly portrayed
by Mr. Beban and his associate
players. The photoplay is a
marvel of character delineation
ceautiful with gorgeous settings,
and strenghtened by perfectly
logical continuity and views of
New York’s Latin quarter. At
tention to detail is apparent in
every scene of the nine reels,
and the production as a whole
is a work or art.” At the
Callahan Theatre Friday night.
Curtain promptly at 8 o’clock.
All seats reserved.

Dothan Takes Two Out of
Three From Bainbridge
Valdosta Gomes Today to Donate Three Games to
The Locals
The Dothan team* arrived in
Bainbridge Monday and the week
thus far has been full of exciting
base ball. The game Monday
afternoon the boys played an 8
inning tie game and it was called
on account of the rain. On Tues
day afternoon a very exciting
and splendid game was won by
the Alabama bunch by a score
of 1 to 0. Wednesday afternoon
a double header was staged and
the first game went to Banbridge
by a score of 16 to 12. Every
pitcher from both sides of the
Chattahoochee was driven from
the firing line and a regular old
fashioned game of town ball re
sulted. Plenty of hitting and
running and about 42 hits made
in the game. The second game
was a splendid exhibition of
baseball and was won by Dothan
3 to 2. The breaks of luck have
been so varied that it is hard to
get a line on the work of the
individual players and while the
interest has been high the fans
were very hopeful of copping
one more of those games from
Dothan. The attendance has
been fairly good and the folks
still having great faith in their
team coming out on top. The
work of Cordell Wednesday
afternoon has been favorably
commented on.
PITMAN TAKES TWO
EDGE
The series of game played bo-
tween Bainbridge and Quitman
resulted in the locals losing two
games and winning one. There
was considerable bickerings over
the first game and the second
seemed an uninteresting game.
The work of the local team has
been very good and hopes are
pinned on them winning the
penant. They look more like
winners than any team in the
league that has played here yet.
They are having a little argument
with the Alabama bunch this
week.
The friends of Mrs. James
Scott sympathise with her very
sincerely over the death of Mrs.
J. B. Scott of Pelham who died
here last week. As Miss Emma
Cochran she visited Bainbridge
quite often and enjoyed the
friendship of a number cf Bain
bridge people. She was buried at
Pelham in the presence of a
large concourse of friends, quite
a number of Bainbridge folks

panied by her sister. Miss

G. S. Tucker, was made chair
man of the executive committee

BAINBRIDGE WINS THE
ET
Bainbridge won the attendance
trophy of the Dixie League by
having 1099 people at the open
ing game. This was not sur
prising as this town always cops
the things that are given in this
manner. Bainbridge will not
only cop the cup but she will cop
the flag before the Dixie League
is 15 days older. A telegram
from President Ward of the Dixie
League to Mr. Cassidy, the local
President gives us the honor of
winning the attendance trophy.

IN MEMORY OF MR.
EBASTUS DUNCAN GAINEY
Bom of noble Christian parent
age; reared in a home, the very
atmosphere of which breathed
the words—comfort, happiness
and joy, was called to the Home
Beyond Wednesday morning
May 17t.h, about eight oclock.
Mr. Gainey had spoken recent
ly of the symptoms of the trouble
that removed him from our
midst, but no one thought his
condition so serious, not even
those who knew and loved him
best for he went about among
them, uncomplaining, jovial and
in his kindhearted way.
Those who were drawn to him
by the extreme friendliness of
his nature never found him miss
ing when he was needed.
He was called away so sud
denly that we can not realize
yet (hat he will never again fill
his accustomed place in the
home as husband and father and
in the world as friend and neigh
bor.
So soon the awfulness of the
situation will dawn upon us—
then God alone will be able to
fathom the depth of our loneli
ness and know the heartaches
that prevail.
Mr. Gainey had been for many
years a member of the Metho
dist church. At the time of his
death he was fifty seven years
of age.
His remains were placed be
sides those of his parents in the
Greenshade cemetery, near
Fowlstown Thursday afternoon.
The floral offerings were many
and beautiful, symbols of the
sweetness and purity that
characterizes true friendship.
Those of the immediate family
who feel so keenly the loss of
their loved one are the wife,
three daughters, Mesdames
Flowers, Smith and Sims; three
sons, Eraatus, DeLoy and Leon;
two sisters, Mrs. Powell of Or
lando, Fla., and Mrs. Donalson,
of Fowlstown.
God comforts these in their
sorrow and a host of friends
breathe for them a prayer of
sympathy.
No preaching at our church
Sunday morning nor at night in
view of the commencement ser
vices in the morning and in view
of the fact that Dr. Morgan will
preach at night at the Presby
terian church.
I sincerely hope that all of my
people will hear both of these
oSnr* 0n8 the distinguished
visitor to our city.
M. A. Morgan.
Mrs. G. S. Jackson of Dothdn
was in the city a short while
last Tuesday afternoon taking
in the game of baseball.
