Resolutions Adopted by the Georgia
Farmers and Press Excursion.


Farmers and Press Excursion.
The following resolutions were adopted
by the Georgia farmers and press excursion
to the northwest:
Recognizing In the agricultural interests OF
our country the foundation of all prosperity,
all other pursuits being dependent thereon, 1t
must be true that he who fosters and encour-
ages the highest development of agricultural
methods is a benefac6or. The Central abroad
of Georgia, under it's present management has
been liberal and unceasing in its efforts to de-
vclop the agricultural interests of Georgia hay
ing made liberal donations to our agricultural
fairs sent a car filled with Georgia products
through the northwest, and In many other ways
has sought not only to advance the interests OF
the farmers OF Georgia, but to attract mon Of
industry and capital to our state.
In this excursion both the farmers and press
recognize not only progressive and liberal
spirit on the part of the Central railroad Of
Georgia, but also point with pride to the fact
that it is the only excursion ever rendered by
any railroad to the representative farmers of
any state for the purpose of investigating the
methods OF agriculture pursued by farmers of
other sections and therefore feel that not only
their gratitude, but the gratitude or the entire
people of the state is due the management of
| the Central road for its hoerality aui enter
prise. We therefore return our sincere and
heartfelt thanks to Gen. E. p. Alexander, pres
ident, aud Maj. NJ. s. Belknap, general imam

interests of Georgia.
