OUT AT THUNDBRBoLT.
No party visiting the city ever sees all of
Savannah without making trip to Thun-
derbolt which is Savannah's free and easy
resort. By common consent OF the Savan
nahians who entertain them, it Is an obs
iective point with every party that visits
the city, and so 1t was yesterday.
After breakfasting at the De Soto the
Iowaians we're taken out to Thunderbolt on
the Electric railway line. The entire crowd
was divided up into two or three parties,
one of which was in charge OF Mr.. Halle,
and one was managed by Mr.. Dave Robin
son. They spent the morning in indulRinR
in the various pleasures afforded by that re-
sort. namely: A breath of salt SEQ air, and
q glimpse at the oyster fisheries, which TO
many Of them was quite novelty.

Hon Josiah Given, judge of the Iowa
supreme court. were taken for a drive
around the city by Col. J. Fl. Estill during

venture and Thuuderbolt and then, in COM
pany with Mr.. G. G.. Anderson, visited the
Ocean steamship whRrves, and were intro

which they came up to the exchange and
met the mayor and several OF the alder
men.

the ocean 10 the afternoon, At o'clock ..
m. they were taken down co Tybee on q
special in charge OF Mr.. J. G. Halle, where
three or four hours were spent in listening
TO the ocean roar aud gathering up the
shells on the seashore. Sea shells were
another novelty to the party, aud almost
every one Of them came away with pockets
and hands full Of them.
Just before leaving time the party gath
cred in the rotunda OF the Tybes hotel, and
Mr.. LATE Young of DeS Moines, who was in
charge Of the party during the trip, made
short speech, extending thanks, in few
appropriate remarks, for the courtesies

of the Central railroad in granting them
transportation free Of charge. He was re-

chosen remarks appropriate to the ocoa-
sion. he said that each hour OF their visit
To Savannah had been delightfully."- and
pleasantly spent.

no doubt confer upon him her prevalent
title as he was about the only democrat In

publican administration, aud made quite q
pleasant and amusing talk He is the mayor
of Boone, la. where he is also proprietor OF

THE ExCURsIoNIsTs.
The party which was composed of ninety
eight gentlemen aud sixty-seven ladies', rep
resented all parties aud policies There
were republicans, prohIbitionists, populisIs,
alliancemen, mugwumps, and some few
democrats.
The party was composed OF as highly in-
telligent and well posted editors as could be
found in any state in the union. They have
Travelled all over the north and west on
their various excursions during the last
twenty years, but this is the first
opportunity they have had of getting a
glimpse Of Dixie's land and they are making
the most OF it. There is no doubt but that
during the next three OF four weeks the
south will get good share of advertising
in Iowa and the northwest.

GUS resorts in the Land of Flowers, after
which they return home via Pensacola,
