Savannahians Getting Ready for the
Mountains and Seashore.

Savannahians Getting Ready for the
Mountains and Seashore.
The summer excursion rates 90 into
effect Friday, This is fifteen days later
than last year, and the agents have al
ready had many inquiries from people
who want to get away from the city to
the mountains and the seashore. Some
few Savannahians have already left for
their summer homes in the northern part
Of the state. Their numb ers will be
largely augmented next month.
In spite OF the general hard times and
the undoubted scarcity Of money, the
railroad ticket agents are of the opinion
that there will be a good travel to the
summer resorts this year, though per-
haps, not quite as large as in previous
years. Ii would have TO be hard times,
indeed, TO keep many Savannahians away
from their favorite resorts in the noun
tains OF North Georgia, Tennessee, North
carolina and-Nlrginia. in fact, spending
the summer away from home is like WIS.,
iting the worlds fair II can be done
very cheaply or with an unlimited ex-
penditure of money.
The old summer resorters, to coin a
new expression who are familiar with
the whole range of resorts from Georgia
to Virginia, know very well where to find
quiet hooks where prices are reasonable
and the fare fully as good as at the high
priced establishments, where they can
spend the summer as cheaply as at home,
and have pleasant neighbOrs and good
society as well. The people who have
money to burn will not be plentiful at the
resorts this year.
TO BE IRON CLAD.
The excursion rates this season will be
about the same as last. The tickets will

requiring signatures Of purchasers and
continuous passage each way. This is to
head OF the scalpers, the friends of many
excursionists, but the sworn enemies of
the railroads.
The scarcity of ready money is expected
to prove very favorable to the local re-
sorts. General Passenger Agent Halle, of
the Central railroad, said yesterday, that
he has had more inquiries about Tybee al
ready than ever before this early in the
season, and he is confident that the num-
Der of visitors this year will be very
large. Rates are already on to Suwannee
Springs, Cumberland St. Simons island
and White Sulphur Springs, Fla, and
many Savannahians have taken advan-
tage of the opportunity to
visit these charming resorts. Suwan-
nee is more popular with Savannahians
than ever, and the local contingent there
this session will be large White Sulphur
Springs, Fla, is place that is destined
to prove very popular with Savannahians.
There are several there now. The prop
erty has been recently purchased and i'm
proved by Col. W. w. Gordon and with
the convenient railroad schedule will Of
fer special attractions to those who are
DESTROYS of escaping from the city during
the summer months and still remain
within easy reach of home.
AMONG THE MOUNTAINS.
Warm Springs, Ga, is a place that is
likely TO be largely patronized by Savan-
nah people this year. Warm Springs has
always had great reputation, but on ac-
count of inconvenient railway schedules,
has never been largely patronized from
this section. There is now a double daily
service from Griffin on the Georgia Mid
land and Gulf railroad, making close con
nections with the Central railroad Pas
sengers can leave Savannah after break
fast and reach the springs in time for
supper, or leave at As at night and reach
there by breakfast the next morning. Re-
turning, the schedule is equally conven-
lent. A new hotel has been built at the
springs, and the accommodations are said
to be all that can be desired.
The schedules to Lookout Mountain are
also very convenient this year. There
are now three hotels on the mountain, so
dation, The Central railroad now makes
close connections at Atlanta with the
Western and Atlantic railroad and the
Piedmont Air Line, so there will be no
delay in reaching the North Georgia re-
sorts situated on those lines.
SOME FAvORITE PLACES.
A number of Savannahians will. as
usual, spend the whole or a part of the
summer at their favorite resorts in
North Georgia, Gainesville, New Holland
Springs, Mount Airy, Toccoa, Tallulah
and the numerous other charming resorts
in that section. Cave Springs, Carriers
vile and Catoosa Springs, on the East
Tennessee railroad will catch number
of visitors from this section.
Asheville, Hendersonville, Hot Springs,
and the various North Carolina resorts
| will, of course draw large crowds this
year as usual. Austell, Salt and Salt
Springs, near Atlanta, will not be for
gotten.
Among other resorts to which Savan-
nahians are partial are Virginia Beech,
Old Point Comfort, Rockbridge, Alum
Springs, Green Brier, White Sulphur
Springs, Mount Airy, North Carolina,
and other Virginia and North Carolina
| resorts.
