Bainbridge News Highlights Prosperity and Civic Plans
The Democratic paper notes rebuilding after last week's fire in Apalachicola and forecasts prosperity with a cotton mill. It reports new turpentine stills and an artesian well at Steam Mill, a faster Williams boat, and praise for Capt. Buchannan and crew. The Corner Stone of a new Presbyterian church is laid, with sermons by regional pastors. Notable visits include Rienzi M. Johnson of Houston, and local chatter about Mayoral candidates. Also covered are theater plans, vagrancy concerns, and a railroad administrator appointment in Florida that could boost Bainbridge freight links. A death in Waldo, Florida is noted with condolences.
