THE CENTRAL AS GEoRGIA's FRIEND.
The forethought that suggested and the
wisdom that is carrying out the excursion
are evidences of the deep interest the Cen
trial railroad is taking in the general devel-
opment of Gaorgia's agricultural resources.
Last year Georgia on Wheels astonished
the good people of toe north wherever it
went, and the exhibitio of the varied re-
sources of the state was a reve-
latiOn to them. Inc enterprise
of the Central was commended by all par
ties, and the net result was the coming Of
number of sturdy western farmers into
Georgia. The present movement is on the
same line, only by different method. 1t
is to carry Georgia farmers where they will
come in cor act wi h western methods as
well as western farmers, and where an ex-
change Of opIn ons on farming will take
place. The result must be beneficial to both
parties, and the benefits to be derived can
only be determined bv the amount of intel
ligent enthusiasm exhibited by the Georgia
DELEGATE Il.
A REPRESENTATIVE BODY.
As body they aro among the wisest and
safest representatives of Georgia's agri-
cultural interests. The method Of heir APP
poiutment aud the manner of their accept
ance insured an iate ligent class of men.
They EVIDENTLY appreciate the RESPONSE
hilities Of the occasion, ard will demean
themselves as true representatives of the
Empire state Of the south.
The Central railroad, which has so gener-
ously provided for the comfort of the entire
party, is W 1rthy of the highest praise, and
Manage Belknap will have no cause of re-
gret in supplying this magnificent train
Commissioner Glessner is on hand genial
and active, looking after the comfort of
those who are to be his guests for the next
Two weeks. Beng an old newspaper man
he knows exactly what creature comforts
the craft demands, and he is sparing no
pains TO make every representative of the
press feel at home.
