Tybee viii furnish plenty of pleasure
and amusement for the ordinaries during
their stay there. Many of them have
never been TO Savannah, and TO some OF

to come TO Savannah was extended by
Judge Ferrill last year, almost every
member of the convention was ready
to vote for the Forest City, and the re-
suit was practically unanimous. After
spending a day and half on the beach,
the ordinaries will return 10 the city

noon in seeing the city and the points of
interest around it. The programme as
layed out for their entertainment will be
interesting, and Judge Ferrill will do all
In his power to see that their stay here
is an ENJOYABLE one.
