Every room will bb gone over, refurnished, telephones added, and a new heating system will be installed, stated the owner. "We are keeping step with the progressive trend and are doing our share toward building n greater Milledgeville,” re marked Mrs. McCraw. 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. CHICKEN SALE BEING PLANNED Farm Agent E. A. Nesmith is work ing on plans to hold a chickon sale the latter part of March, as soon as plans are perfected announcement of the date will.be made. "Treasure Island” has been aight- ed by the members of the Union Re corder Treasure Trove Hunt and the first lap of the voyage will be over at 9:00 P. M. next Wednesday night when the highest credit period comes to a close. Each member will strive 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. PROF. E. H.
