There is not a merchant or busi ness man in Milledgeville, who does not know thnt a live and progressive newspaper is a necessity for the ad vancement and upbuilding of the community, and the chronicling of local news. It would not be far amiss to siy that if there were not newspaper in this city, the businci men would organize .a stork con puny nnd inaugurate one as quickly l possible. This bei and do not think anyone would undertake contradict it, why should not merchants and business men patro nize a paper that is already b published here, nnd thereby enable the publsihcr to publish a newnp«p thnt will more and more meet t requirements of a progressive and growing city. While the reason stated abm an important factor it is not most potent one, from a personal and business standpoint to the busi ness men and merchant, because newspaper advertising is one of the strongest and most influential fac tors in building up the business and securing trade for the merchant whe uses the columns of his local news paper to tell the public of the line of goods he carries and the bargains he is offering. The publisher of the Union Record er has endeavored to kep step with the line of progress that has been enade in Milledgeville, and publish a •paper that is a credit to Milledgeville and Baldwin—one that is worthy of the support of the merchants, busi ness men and the people. The present publisher has been connected with the Union Recorder from hi* early ycuth, and succeeded his father as the editor of the paper more than a quarter of a esntury ago. The changes in the psper and printing business, during these years, •has necessitated a large investment, and he has cheerfully made it so that he could keep the paper at the high est standard and serve the city and county of his nativity more worthily and more creditably. he Beautiful Queen Bradbury) This spring G. S. C. W. is again ob serving International Music Week. The night of May the ninth, is to be to the entire Freshman Class, which will present the sacred cantata, “Esther the Beautiful Queen," under the direction of Miss Tucker. The music for this beautiful cantata was composed by Wiliam B. Bradbury, who was n manufacturer of pianos, a teacher, and a conductor, 11 as a composer of mu^ic. He oni in York, Maine, 1816, and n Montclair, New Jersey, 1868. imposed many sacred selections but his, Esther the Beautiful Queen," utstrips any othei. .hat he has written. The story is taken from the book of Esther, chapters 1-10. A synopsis is ns follows: Esther, was a Jewess born Persia five hundred years befo Christ. Being an orphan from hab hood, she was adopted by her cousi Mordecni, who realizing that s possessed great beauty, trained her all the accomplishments of woma hood. She was chosen by the King of the Realm to be his Qucei^ Bet nationality was not dis«to<*r?d. Hamon was Premier and a favorite of the King. He hn*od Mordecai be- cause he would not bow down to him n's the King had commanded, §ml knowing Mordecai's relationship to the Queen, he resolved to be avenged. By perverse methods he obtained a decree for destroying all the Jews in the Province. Mordecai heard of this and charged Esther to perdition the King, at the peril of her life, for the safety of her people. The King heard her petition Hnman was defeated had prepared for Mordecai was pro claimed Premier in Hamon’s place and all the people rejoiced. The cantata has proved a great success, not only for its stroy but al so for the lovely music. The melodies are simple and real. There is vim and vigor as well as pathos and humor in the cantata. It will be well worth your time to come out and hear this cantata, with its fascinating melodies that bespeaks distinctly of jW Ancient Persia during the Reign of, ^ M 'landing on the street when the iweep cleaner starts about four o’clock in the morning, and it will ner to get them.
