To Move January 1st.
The Union Supply Company
is preparing to move into the new
building recently built for them
on Scott street, j ust north of Broad,
next door to Butler, Heath &
Butler’s warehouse. They will
close their present establishment
on December 26th and the remain¬
der of the month will be taken up
in moving info their handsome
new building and getting their big
stock of general merchandise in
shape to open up in the new loca¬
tion January 1st.
In the meanwhile they will con¬
duct a big removal sale which
will commence on Saturday, De¬
cember 11th and continue for fif¬
teen days, closing on the night of
the 25th. They propose to offer
exceptional inducements to the
public during this sale and their
advertisements in this paper will
be rich with bargains for the Hol¬
liday trade. The first of these ad¬
vertisements will be printed next
week, and every reader of this
paper should read them closely.
Their new quarters will be
among the handsomest in the city
and as the floor space at their dis¬
posal will be considerably larger
than the old store, they will be
able to display their stock to
greater advantage and serve their
patrons more satisfactorily in the
future than ever before. The new
building is 50x200 feet and is by
far the largest single story build¬
ing in the city.
New Safe Installed.
The Bank of Camilla received a
handsome new burglor proof safe
yesterday and had it installed in
their vault to replace the one they
have been using since the bank
opened for business, twenty years
ago.
The new safe is of the spherical
type with a screw door and is one
of the finest pieces of mechanism
made for the purpose of securing
a bank’s cash against the designs
of safe blowers and bank robbers.
It has two compartments, the
larger one, where the currency is
kept being equipped with three
time locks besides the usual com¬
bination, which cannot be operated
until the time set for opening the
bank. Underneath the main com¬
partment is the silver chest. As
it would be impossible for bur
glors to carry off enough silver to
pay them for their great risk they
must incur, this compartment is
secured only with a combination
lock.
The safe is a beauty and of the
same make as those used by the
largest banks. There is little
danger of a bank robbery in Ca¬
milla, but banks write safety in
big letters and this is an example
of the extraordinary precautions
they take to safeguard their de¬
positors.
X. Y. Z. Club Entertained.
The X. Y. Z. Club was delight¬
fully entertained by Miss Sophia
Berman on Thanksgiving after¬
noon. The weather was ideal and
a great many girls attended.
Heart-dice was the exciting and
interesting game of the occasion,
after which a delicious salad
course, followed by hot chocolate
and wafers, was served. Little
bisque turkeys were given as
favors to every one present.
Miss Berman proved herself a
most charming hostess and the
girls all went away wishing her
time for entertaining oftener.
Those present were: Misses
Janie Barba Collins, Leila Walker,
Bessie Perry, Neva Brimberry,
Claude Davis, Janie Cochran and
Louise Williford, of Americus.
Also Mrs. W. F. Cullens and Mrs.
R. L. Hoggard.
Xmas!
Albany!
Rosenber’s!
Those three words ought to mean a
great deal to the average Holiday Shop¬
per in Southwest Georgia.
They have a deep and significant
meaning to all those who brought their
perplexities to this store last December.
The shopper who does or does not
know exactly what he or she wants finds
wonderfully helpful suggestions on every
hand while visiting here.
There are two kinds of Christmas re¬
membrances—those that belong in the
trinket class, and please the fancy of a
passing moment, and those that serve a
useful purpose for months or years, and
remind the owner of the giver a thousand
times over again.
This store is known to the people who
do their Holiday Shopping here as ‘ 'The
Store of Sensible Christines Giving. ” The
title has been fairly earned. You will
understand why when you visit Albany
this month, and stop at Rosenberg’s.
Rosenberg Bros.,
ALBANY, GA.

City Bakery & Cafe.
Mr. and Mis. J. H. Giles went
over to Dothan last Saturday to
visit their son who has recently be¬
come the father of a fine baby boy.
They found the youngster and his
mother doing nicely. Mr. Giles
returned home the first of the
week and his wife remained in
Dothan.
Stripling & Ledbetter have pur¬
chased a Maxwell touring car to
be used in connection with their
livery business. Automobiles are
rapidly displacing the horse
for quick trips |through the rural
districts and the local liverymen
will probably find their car a pay¬
ing proposition.
Dr. John M. Spence has pur¬
chased a Ford runabout and he
has been diligently engaged the
past few days in learning how
to handle it. The Doctor’s
patients will get more prompt at¬
tention now but local buggy
dealers will regret to see “Old
Black” turned out to pasture and
thereby deprived of his favorite
pastime of making business for
them.
The K. of P. Lodge ispreparing,
we understand, to give a banquet
in the near future at which they
will entertain a number of out-of
town members of the order as
well as friends in the city. The
Knights have been noted for their
lavish entertainments in the past
and we have no doubt but this one
will come fully up to the stan¬
dard.
Mr. Youell Edwards left Mon¬
day morning for Albany, where he
has accepted a position with the
Hofmayer Dry Goods Co., of that
city. Mr. Edwards richly de¬
serves this recognition of his busi¬
ness ability. He has recently com¬
pleted a business course in a Jack¬
sonville businees college and thisy.
coupled with the several years ex¬
perience he has had with the
Union Supply Co., of this city,,
where he has been thoroughly ap¬
preciated for his steady habits and
aptness for business, assures him of
a good measure of success wher¬
ever he may go.
