OFFICIAL ORGAN OF COUNTY
THURSDAY. MARCH 14. IMS
Have you bought your "baby bond"
yet?
Here is sweet news. The sugar
outlook for 1935 Is the best in m-ny
You will find appreciation and
gratitude in the dictionary, but not
often in any other place.
The U. S. Government is offering
a good opportunity to anyone who
desires to lay aside a little money
for ten years.
The argument over the bonus goes
meerily on, and the dope is now that
the Congress will approve the bill
and place it in the lap of the
president.
Letters to Congressmen have
reached a new high peak during this
session of Congress. The Congress
man has a bad time of it trying to
satisfy all these letter writers.
Plenty of strings are on the ap
propriation of a million dollars to
the University system and it will be
a long time yet before any of this
money is spent.
The future looks good for the
farmer. With the help given by the
government, the farmer is in a bet
ter financial condition today than
he has ever been before.
Milledgeville may well congratu
late herself on her good fortune in
having the Martin Theatre* enter
the dty with one of their play
houses. The Campus is the latest
link in the splendid chain of theatres
owned and operated by a group of
Georgians who immediately beet .ne
citizens wherever they establish a
place of amusement.
The owners who have just com-
pletcd one of the most elaborate
plav houses in the state have evi
denced their faith in Milledgeville
—not only in her future but her
present ability to furnish enough
patronage to make the investment a
paying one.
Nothing has been left undone to
make The Campus a desirable place
to go for recreation and amuse
ment. Thousands of dollars have
been spent for the most perfect
sound and projection equipment
manufactured which will replace
what was consided good enough a
few weeks ago. Cushioned seats now
take the place of the hard wood
benches.
It all amounts to an investment
of thousands of dollars when Uie
owners could hove gone ahead with
the old building and equipment
without the expenditure of one
penny. And that is not all—
The Campus Theatre wffi be
given the best booh mgs possible,
with all the newest and best pic
tures with first releases and that
feature alone places the local house
in the same class with the larger
cities in America when it comes to
film service.
The Union-Recorder is proud of
the beautiful theatre and we are
indeed grateful to those enterpris
ing men who have given to the
Baldwin community something she
had not nor likely would have bi"’
for herself.
The Campus Theatre is one of the
most attractive, convenient and com
fortable theatres in the state and
with the splendid service that go-
with all Martin Theatre links it
will bo one of the most popular.

a man of a most kindly and sympa
