EVENING CONCERTS
Equally beneficial and quite as
urgent as the ladies rest room
in the social life of the people is
suitable musical entertainment.
Nothing can add more interest
or lend spirit to the people of a
small city than good out-of-door
music. The park you have and
also the musicians both band and
vocal, and it is very reasonable
to presume that the musicians
of the city will be cheerfully
willing to volunteer their ser
vices for this gloriouos enter
tainment purpose. To fullfill this
mission it is first desired to in
crease the membership ofthe band
to the largest possible number
of both men and woman, and
which band shall constitute the
chief source of music for > the
concerts. However, at each con
cert besides the regular band
numbers a certain number of
vocal solos will be introduced
by local singers supported by
band accompaniment,
This method is one established
and enjoyed by the people of
the larger cities and the summer
resorts, and is now, also to be
put into effect and enjoyed by
the people of the oak city. That
the people should be entertain
ed one or two evenings a week
on the lawn with good music
both band and vocal is a very
reasonable service; yet a service
which v/ill add besides enter
tainment both spirit and pride
to citizens.

PIPE BURSTS
The Bainbridge Ice Company
had an accident Saturday that
was exciting while not particul
arly dangerhus. One of the big
ammonia pipes bursted and flood
ed the building with the strong
fumes of the drug and created
a little consternation. Mr. Green
the engineer was overcome with
the ammonia and his eyes tem
porarily and painfully injured.
It is said that ammonia will not
injure permanently in this man
ner and the friends of Mr. Creen
are very glad that he was not
more seriously hurt.
Bainbridge was saddened this
week by the news of the death
of Benton Morrow, son of Cap
tain and Mre. J. R. Morrow. The
death occurring in the Brunswick.
The young man lived in Bain
bridge last year and had a num
ber of friends that will regret to
learn of his death. Just was
reaching the age of manhood he
gave promise of being a splendid
citizen. Captain Morrow and his
good wife have the sympathy of
of all their friends all up and
down the Georgia Florida and
Alabama railroad where Captain
Morrow has labored for severa
years past.

PASSING OF AN
OLD BUSINFSS
The firm of I. Kwilecki went
out of business this week after
47 years of business. In this
length of time Mr. Kwilecki has
seen many come and go, in that
number of years he has seen the
town grow from a wilderness
practicaly to the city that is be
fore us all now. The business
will be taken on by Mr. K wilecki’s
sons Ralph and Julian. They will
continue the business at the
same stand.
In those 47 years Mr. Kwilecki
never suffered a fire or a failure
or any big calamity of any kind
and has never settled with any
creditors except on the strict
business basis. A remarkable
career for a man in the kind of
times that we have had and the
many vicissitudes that the busi
ness world has been through in
this section since 1869. It is al
most a sure fact that there is
not a building of any kind stand
ing in this city and very nearly
county that has not something
in the structure that came Irom
this store of long standing. The
new firm will start off on good
basis and with the good wishes
of many people and a lapge
patronage. /
Every body is talking hard
times and how prices are]soaring
sky-ward, but people will get
married, and their friends will
give them handsome and expen
sive presents. The mystery is
why more people do not go to
Miss Avriett’s Studio in Mrs. J.
E. Reynolds residence and get
handsome and inexpensive gifts.
The largest stock of WHITE
CHINA ever brought to Bain
bridge and prices on PAINTED

VERTISING for a limited time
to get YOU in the habit of com
ing to her studio for exclusive
and most beautiful gifts in all
lines of FINE ART from the
daintiest piece of china to the

Colors. Portraiture included,
Life size or Miniatures on ivory.

We call attention to the an
nouncement of Booth & Booker
Contractors and Builders in this
issue. Both of these gentlemen
are experienced in their line and
are now doing work in the city.
Their Bainbridge .address is 225
Broughton and their Valdosta
address is 506 North Lee St.
These gentlemen are ready to
furnish you estimates on any
thing that you may feel disposed
to build either now or later.
