The Baldwin Hotel is one of Mid
dle Georgia's most famous Hostelries
and in past years has been the host
to many of the famous men of the
country. During the Florida boom,
the hotel enjoyed its greatest patron
age, extending its reputation as a
true dispenser of Southern hospitality
to every section of the nation. A
large number of traveling men arc
required to spend one or two nights
out of each week here, making the
Baldwin one of the most popular
hotels in the State.
The work on the building will be
gin within a few weeks and it is ex
pected that they will reach comple
tion during the early summer.

ed by the members of the Union Re

first lap of the voyage will be over
at 9:00 P. M. next Wednesday night

to outdistance his or her rival during
the next five days and accumulate
enough subscription credits to estab
lish a lead when the period closes.
They will need the support of their
friends and those really in earnest
to help will give their renewal be
fore the credits drop in value.
Miss Myra Barnes takes possession
of the Chrysler this week, however
there are sveernl other members on
the running board ready to step into
the drivers seat if she dosen’t watch
out. As a matter of fact it was
most difficult to figure a compara
tive standing this week due to the
fact that the difference between the
first five was so slight. The others
arc so close that almost any ot the
members are possible Chrysler win
ners, depending greatly, on what is
done before 9:00 P. M. Wednesday.
Trmuura Trow Topics
In this column last week we said
the rest had better watch Mias
Barnes and sure enough she goes in
the coveted first position today.
Chorus of Hunt Members—" This
is station M-E calling station Y-O-U
with an S-O-S for a subscription."
If you who are reading this are half
the fan we believe you to be, you
will not fail to answer the call.
Mrs. Willette Home has increased
her standing this week with the right
sort of effort that brings in the sub
scriptions.
Evidently Mrs. Taylor didn’t care
for the low position she held last
week for she has moved up several
, places. Why not go to the very top
by Wednesday?
Mrs. Dozier must believe in the
theory that only hard work brings
success and that, no doubt, is the
rrnson she is holding her own so
nicely in the race for the Chrysler.
Determination to succeed hay kept
Mrs. Dennard up in the standing
Rgain this week and that same idea
will keep her there until the end.
This iB the closest fought race the
writer has ever had and as fine a
membership participating as he ha.’
over seen.
Many people are saying that Mrf.
Gholson could win the Chrysler ufith
the great number of friends she has.
Do you suppose she iy playing “pos
sum"? We’ll all know by Wednes
day at any rate.
No subscriptions will be received
for first period credits after 9:00
P. M. Wednesday, February 29th, ex
cept those coming thru the mail, and
the envelope on those must show that
it was placed in the mails before the
ciosing hour.
Mrs. Hall Is another consistent
worker whose average standing has
been among the leaders each week by
the splendid credit giving subscrip
tions of her many friends.
Although Miss Cook* is somewhat
lower in the standing this week she
easily make it up in the next
five days we believe. Many friends
are “boorting" for her success.
M : ss Maybelle Bridwell bettered
her position this week. Toomsboro
is with her to the finish and we sug
gest keeping an eye on her rtnnding
If Howard Hall wants to drive the
Chrysler home on closing night he
had better get busy and take ad
vantage of the remaining days of
the period. Whats the matter with
Devereux? You folks had better get
back of Miss Arnold, Miss Garrard
and Howard and bring them up in
the front ranks.
We are going to look for i
nice business from Mrs. Tanner be
fore the period closes Wednesday and
we hope she doser dlsapoint ui
her friends.

Contracts were awarded last week
at the regular sesrion of the Board
of Trustees of the Georgia State
Sanitarium for the erection of a
building for Colored patients, the
building is the first to be erect-
i the expansion program planned
by the directros of the Institution.
The contract were awarded to J. F.
Dupree & Sons, of Rome, Ga., for
approximately $160,-
000.00.
The building will be erected on the
st of the present colored dormi
tory and will house about 450 pati
ents. In selecting the site for this
building and the other buildings that
are being planned for the Institution,
the board used every care to place
them at the most advantageous
points in carrying out their proposed
expansion program.
The new building is expected to re
lieve some of the congestion that has
been a menace to the institution in
carrying on its work for the past sev
eral years. The colored department
has been greatly over crowded, with
a rapidly increasing demand on the
Sanitarium. t
The Trustees who axe directing
Georgia’s greatest ehairty are plan
ning with care and much deliberation
the expansion movement An addi-
tional water main will be construct
ed at an early date for the institution
to the water station and a Psychiac-
ric Hospital, a much needed addition
at the Sanitarium.
The Sanitarium has shown a mark
ed growth in the past twenty years
with an evet; increasing deasand. The
Miss Olive Meadows condition was
still seriouu today following severe
burns received early last Monday
morning when her Kimona caught
fire from an open grate, at
home here. •
Miss Meadows was in the act of
dressing and was standing in front
of the fire place in her bed r<
when the Kimona in which she
dressed caught fire. Her mother,
Mrs. Eula Meadows, quickly came to
her rescue, but before the garment
could be torn from her body she had
been severly burned. Physicians
wrre summoned. The burns are se
vere and painful but it is believed by
physicians that she will recoverr com
plications being avoided.
Miss Meadows is stenographer at
the law office of Sibley ASibley, and
is one of Milledgeville'a most talent
ed and propular young women. Her
many friends wish for her a speedy
recovery.
growth in numbers of patients 'has
far exceeded the building progress
and .a large appropriation was made
by the last Legislature with a view
of relieving some of this congestion.
The Trustees are desirioun of making
the expansion accomodate any possi
ble growth frithin the next twenty
years, if all plans can be carried for
ward to completion.
