The daily citizen. [volume] (Asheville, N.C.) 1889-1890, 1889-12-20
DO YOU WANT A TRIP?
Opportunities for Travel offered
the Patrons of f"The Citizen"

go West young man, go West" were
the words of Mr.. Greeley, and most ap.
propriate advice to the inhabitants OF
bleak, sterile and over-crowded New En-
gland. Our counsel to young mel and
women of the sunny South is, ''go West
by all means, but go prepared to return
to your beloved home, which will not
suffer by comparison with other places. :"
Nothing is or can be more beneficial
than travel; it opens the mind to receive
new ideas; it takes lis out of the narrow
grooves into which we are all prone to
fall it acquaints us with the advantages
and disadvantages of other towns and
States: it enables us to enjoy thoroughly
their beauties, and yet, and best of ALL
it will cause us North Caroinians to re-
turn home with hearts full of gratitude
to the kind providence who caused our
lot to be cast as one of her citizens.
All of these advantages, and many
Others which we may mention hereafter,
we hope next year to be able to place
within the easy grasp OF every patron OF
THE CITIZEN who cares to avail them
selves oft. So far as we are concerned,
in order to secure our cooperation and
assistance, it is only needful that a per-
son must be subscriber and reader OF
THE CITIZEN. In every one of our pat
rons we feel a personal interest, which
we propose to prove as follows:
We hope from time to time during the
spring and summer of 1890 to arrange
excursion parties of convenient size and
congenial organization to visit the great
Western portion of the United States,
taking in enroute St. Louis, Kansas City,
Denver with its environs of Idaho
Springs, Colorado Springs, Pixies Peak,
the grand canyon of Arkansas, etc, ETC.,
Great Salt Lake and City, San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Yosemite Valley, Portland,
Puget Sound, Victoria, Mount Hood,
Mount Rainier, and possibly as far as
distant Alaska. Returning from Port
land through Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming,
etc, etc.
Ofcourse the above is not intended as
an itinerary, but merely to indicate the
route in general, which NAV be varied ac-
cording to the taste of each party. We
would suggest that each party should
consist of twenty or twenty-five persons,
ladies and gentleman who may not be
intimate friends before starting, but will
surely be so on their return.
For party of this size we will be able
to secure most admirable terms, far
lower than we ever imagined could be OBJ
tanned, and each member of the party
shall have the benefit of such reduction
as may be had for the whole. Each party
will be accompanied by representative
of this paper, whose duty it will be to
keep the friends at home posted as to the
movements of the tourists.
The paper will also publish communi.
cations from any member OF the party,
and on its return, the whole correspond
ence will be collected in a neat pamphlet
and each member provided with one
copy free, and as many additional, as
may be desired, at actual cost of mate
rial and work.
We repeat that every one will be sur
prised at the exceedingly low rates that
can be offered, which we will probably
be able to publish in very short time,
our present object being merely to draw
attention to this grand opportunity, and
beg our readers to turn the matter over
in their minds, and if they wish to have
further advice to correspond with THE
CITIZEN PUBLISHING COMPANY.
