RESORT PLANNED
AT RIVER BRIDGE
BY VIENNA ME.\

A resort, which is expected to at
tract people from all the surrounding
country during the summer season, is
to be built at the Dooly county end
of the new Flint river bridge, accord
ing to an announcement made Tues
day by l.. l.. Howard, of Vienna, who
owns several hundred acres of land
adjoining the river on both sides of
the road, jointly with Judge W. F.
George, of the Georgia Supreme court,
and P. A. Lennard, of Vienna.
According to the plans, several cot
tages will be erected in addition to the
three of four now there, which will
be rented during the season. A dane
ing pavilion will be erected, a con-
crete bathing pool built, to be supplied
with artesian water, and 9-hole golf
links laid out on beautifully lying land
which will be cleared for that pur-
pose.
Not all of the work can be done this
season, because of the lateness, but
Woodward stated that start would be
made, and they hoped to have the
whole project completed and ready for
the entertainment of the public by
the summer of 1920.
The site is beautiful one, embracing
wonderful woods and other natural
beauties. On the site is creek OF
clear water which is famous for its
fine fishing. 1t is regarded as the
ideal resort for automobilists, being
easily accessible to Americus, Vienna

SUMTER COUNTY
MINISTER'S WILL
DINE AND HEAR
ROADS GOSPEL
To Be Guests of Bond Campaign
Committee Pledge Cards Pour
In on Hixon

Pledge cards, signed by men from
all over Sumter county voluntarily
pledging themselves to vote for per-
manent highway bonds April 8, were
pouring in Tuesday and Wednesday
on Judge ]. A. Hixon, chairman of the
bond campaign committee, proving the
high interest in the approaching cleo
tion and the popularity of the bond
proposal.
Chairman Hixon Wednesday an
nounced that invitations had been sent
to all of the ministers of the county,
asking them to be the guests of the
bond campaign committee at dinner in
the private dining room Of the Wind
sor hotel Friday evening of this week
at O'Clock, and that a number of ac-
ceptances had already been received.
The gospel of permanent roads will
be preached to the ministers as they
dine, and their aid in putting over"
this most progressive proposal will be
asked.
Chairman HiXon, who is very busy
man these days handling the bond
campaign, visited the Seaboard shops
Tuesday, where he interviewed the
workmen and secured a number of
pledge card signatures.
But, while Chairman Hixon is busy,
probably the very busiest place in the
entire county just at this time is the
Chamber of Commerce, where Secre-
tary Joseph Perkins is at work with
corps of helpers, turning out matter
and handling details in the interest of
the campaign. The Chamber of Com
merce has thrown it's whole organiza-
tion into thiA drive, believing that
permanent highways will be the great
est developer of all sections of Sum-
ter county that could possibly be de-
vised, and an opportunity to speed
progress faster than it has ever be-
fore come to Sumter county. Secre-
tary Perkins is at his desk all hours
of the day, and will gladly answer any
inquiries concerning the campaign or
the bond proposal.
