EXCURSIONS ARE BOOMING.
Tuesdays Trip Down the Central to
Be a Big Affair.

The People Interested and Large
Crowds Predicted All Along the Line.
Excursion Rates Made by All the
Smaller Lines Connecting With the
Central-Tuesdav, Dec. 10, to Be a
Big Excursion Day With Specials on
the South Bound and Savannah,
Amerious and Montgomery Rail
roads.
The excursion movement is booming in
Savannah. The excursion upon the Cen
trail railroad branches, to come of Tues
day, promises to be a big affair. The ex-
cursion has been well advertised, and
from all along the line the word comes
that the people are coming to town. The
territory covered by the excursion is
much more thickly populated than that
reached by the first excursion over the
Savannah, Florida and Yves tern rail
road, and the people are more accustomed
to trading with Savannah, consequently a
much larger crowd may be expected than
upon the first excursion.
The fact that a great many people fr ON
along the Central railroad have Just at
tended the Augusta exposition, W hich is
drawback, however, as many OF them
expended their surplus cash in Augusts.
The cost of coming to Savannah, how
ever, will be so small that even many
who have just returned from Augusta
will take advantage of the opportunity to
come to Savannah.
