THE SUMMER EDITORIAL EX-
CURSION

CURSION
OF the Hooking and Ohio Editorial As
sociatiOn. From Logan
to the Lake.
The Annual Summer Excursion
of our Association went this year
from Columbus 10 Put-ln-Bav, on
Saturday, August 2Oth.
There and to get there" some
one has tersely said, are the ami.
mating elements Of human life.
Since the organization of our AS
ISOLATION the Columbus, Hooking
Valley and Toledo Railroad has
been the agency which assists us
In our enforced trips on business,
ministers TO our pleasant journeys.
The general passenger agent is
always the trusty escort. The AS
sociation is composed largely of
the newspaper men along the lines
of the G. II. V. & T.Roads, giving a
close neighborship to the editors,
and with the railroad an identity
of interests in the country through
which the road passes and our pa
pers circulate. The Association is
The only organization of It's kind
in The State, and its long life, it's
vigor and It's influence are nam
tanned by the railroad, a carotoid
artery iDfusing Hooking and Ohio
Valley blood and impulse and en-
terprise in every paper on the list.
The Association has lived and
lives by the close relationship the
road affords, and with not over
weening modesty we assume to
sav that the road has prospered by
the facts being made known
through the papers and believed
by the public that it is one of the
best, indeed the best, longest in
line, most accommodating in ser
vice, fairest in dealing with the
travelling public, and the residents
of town and country, and safest OF
any road in the State. The public
has come to know that the road is
their friend. 1t carries their pro.
ducts to market cheaper than by
any method of transportation ever
known. 1t takes the people Oh,
journeys of business and pleasure
more safely and comfortably than
in a family carriage, and makes 1t
possible for editors to visit resorts
of fashion and stay a week at less
expense than TO stay at home. Our
railroad deals fairly with the peo-
pie. It runs its trains to our best
accommodation, 1t pays promptly
and literally any damage that
may accidently occur. Our peo-
pie don't soap the tracks. They
don't embarrass the service. The
iurles dtn't render Yindictive
Judgments,
Originally the road was bnilt
for a coal road. II developed our
mines and expanded our capital
city to double its former popula-
ton. 1t REACHED down through The
heart of Hanging Rock region to
Pome1oy, where Ohio stamped
down her Boot into the mountains
as far as 1t was profitable for the
river or our road 10 go, and then
street ched up to the lakes. and with
our Hooking coal, built the beau
lifui and prosperous city of Toledo
Under the management of Mr..
Fisher the road has been led 10 the
front As the popular line of travel.
It's travel from Columbus as a cen
tire. in any circumference that may
be named, is greater than that OF
any other railroad in Ohio. Its
business the last year and the last
month has increased beyond the
most sanguine expectation. The
increasing patronage is antlci-
ipated, and more frequent trains.
faster time, more elegant cars,
meet the public procession to the
depots. The locking Valley Rail
road and the Hooking Valley Edi-
torial Associations are great insti-
tutions. They speak for themselves
and for ourselves.
THE PERSONNEL.
The editors. excepting The 20
lumbus contingent, are Hillicans.
Level land is novelty and a nuis-
ance 10 them and the Flat Land
ers an inviting prize when on a
rad seeking sportive adventure.
They always "get there" but gen
orally in tattered trousers, lame
legs, stumped toes, but full up
with bushels of fun. To plod and
90 straight is impossible. They
cut across corners, wind around on
paths, climb trees. go in swimmin' !,
steal a water million, stone a dog,
90 over a hill rather than around
1t, wade a creek, deadhead ride,
make a speech, say a prayer. tell
a lie, take up church collection,
bet on horse race, travel fifty
miles on a ten-mile journey, go,
60 ON, but "get there"

our journey and a geological lassns
