Bridge l’ariy For Guests.
Miss Carrie Bird entertained on
Monday afternoon at a large and elab
orate card party' in honor of hn
guests, Mrs. Brunson and Miss Brun
son, of Macon.
The spacious parlors at the Wind
sor hotel were used, and ten tables
were placed for the game. Bridge
was played and the hours speedily
passed. The rooms were decorated
very beautifully for the occasion with
bowls of pink roses and ferns.
Miss Bird was assisted in receiving
by her niece, Miss Emma Lee, and
the two guests of honor.
Miss Bird invited her married
guests into one room, where four
tables were placed, and Miss l>ee
was presiding in another room, where
two dozen young girls were seated ot
half a dozen tables.
The top score prize, a cut glass
bowl, was won by Airs. Walter Lamar,
and the young ladies’ prize, a lovely
(cut glass vase, was presented to
Miss Brunson.
Mrs. Brunson Is a stately lady of
blonde type, and was gorgeously
dressed in white satin, with cream
lace overdress, trimmed in pearls
and chiffon roses.
Miss Brunson wore a dainty white
and pink gown, which was very
becoming.
Miss Bird's toilette was very at
tractive. It was a black lace robe
made over a beautiful shade of blue
satin and effectively trimmed in black
velvet.
Miss Lee wore a charmingly girl
ist costume of white marquisette, with
a touch of blue, and wore blue rib
bon in her hair.
After the game very tempting ices
and cake were served and the guests
BOARD OF TRADE WORKING
TO SECURE TOURIST TRADE
Secretary C. J. White Gives Interview on Situation-Golf
Links Must Be Secured to Attract Tourists-Board
of Trade Waging Publicity Campaign.
The Board of Trade is actively en-l
gaged in endeavoring to enlist the
aid of Ithe people of Americus to se
cure the > publicity offered by the ,
Central of Georgia railway on condi
tion that the golf links be enlarged
at the Country Club. j 1
The enlargement of the golf links !
and their mantenance will cost a
considerable amount of money. By 1
joining the Country Club or by malt- 1
ing contributions toward the work, 1
the future of Americus as a tourist j
center may be assured. |
In speaking of the possibilities of '
the work and what it will mean to
the city, Mr. Clarence .1. White, sec
retary of the Board of Trade, spok |
as follows to a Times-Recorder rep
resentative yositerday:
“If we can get the Americus peo
ple to support us there is no dount
but that we will get a good share of
the tourist trade. Mr. Robinson, of 1
the Central of Georgia railroad, has j
promised to bring the toprists here
if we will furnish the amusements
lor them, and the most necessary ■
j thing is a golf course, as this is the !
j only athletic sport in (which a man of
sixty years can compete with a man 1
of twenty-five. It is now up to the 1
citizens to support the Country Club 1
and help put in a good nine-hole 1
course, at least.
“We have a climate that surpasses"
that of Florida, inasmuch as it is not
so warm and more bracing, and 'there
fore more conducive to out-door life,
and life in the open air is what the
Northerner wants when he comes
South to spend a month or two. We
have the hotel accommodations, good
hunting and fishing, will have trap (
shooting very soon, and it Is only
necessary now to got the golf links |
and tennis courts. If the people come
here and see that they can get what j
they want at about half the price
they have to pay In Florida it will
i ot be necessary to extend them any
further invitation. They will bring
all their friends. j
“When we say ‘tourists’ we do noti
mean that we are going to hid for the’
lif rich class that patronize the
Flagler hotels and other places of
this class, hut we mean the middle
class, as they may he termed, that is,
t-iose that are comfortably well off
and don’t mind paying for what they
get.
each pronounced the affair a brilliant
success.

pitality were -Mrs. AValter Tamar, of

I "(Should we be able to start this

these people would more than do that, s
Take the Country Club at Augusta for

people very little. It is kept up by 3
contributions from tourists and the 1
golf links and country club have been f
‘he main factors in making Augusta

the South. £
‘ The people of Americus certainly

been very loud in their praises of both 1

progressiveness of the citizens who
have shown their interest in the com
munity by taking hold of the propo- ,
tion and putting it through.
‘ The Board of Trade is now doing
a great deal of advertising. I am a

the United States, but every part of
the world where the desirable im
migrant comes from, know that
there is a city in Southwest Georgia
by the name of Americas that of

is worth investigating. In the last
month I have sent out to individuals
about one thousand of the booklets of
Americus to all parts of the world,
letting them know that settlers of

among us. At the same time I am
also trying to look after the indus
trial end of the city and am getting
jail the publicity In mechanical and
industrial papers that I can and let
j ting every one know that we are
anxious for small industries that em

“Mr. Robinsop agreed to help the
Board of Trade in distributing the

ago. I shall send him soon about
1 i ,000 o.r 1,300 of them to be distrib
uud free of charge through all the

looklets will be placed before the
people in all sections of the North
