M A. point of becoming a real bene fit to the people. Wherever one established, the ladies rest room has proven such an advantage to shopping and shopping and visiting woman thats its suc cessful maintainance nas been enjoined by the hearty support of both the trade bodies and womans’ club. At Thomasville when suffering from heat and general fatigue, 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. To accomplish this work an 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.

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.

She gives you the beautifully painted china for little above the cost of the plain white china and the gold.
