CROWDS GOING TO BOSTON.
Christian EndenvOrs to Have n Good
Delegation From This Section.


A party of fifty or sixty will go from Sa-
vannah to attend the international Chris
tan Endeavor convention in Boston next
month.
The societies in this section of the coun-
try have selected two official routes, the
Plant system as a rail line and the Ocean
Steamship Company's steamers by sea.
Both of these transportation companies
expect to do everything in their power
for the comfort and convenience of the ex-
cursionists. The Plant system will put on
plenty of extra coaches and will carry
through some of the finest sleepers. The
Ocean Steamship Company has put on
two steamers a week TO Boston. and will
make three trips week to New York, as
many will go by the latter route.
The delegates will probably be about
equally divided between the rail and water
lines. The convention meets from July 10
TO 10 inclusive, and the delegates will be-
gin going to Boston as early as July 5.
and probably right up to July 10 or II.
Mr. A. b. Warner Of Atlanta the state
corresponding secretary of the society is
the state excursion agent for the conven-
toin, but on account of the fact that there
is a large contingent of the society in this
section Mr.. ]. A. Varnadoe was appointed
excursion agent here.
Mr.. Varnadoe Is confident that he will
have party Of fifty or more go from Sa-
vannah. Those who desire TO make the
trip can register with him at No. 143
Broughton street. corner Whitaker and
this will insure their being given the adj
vantage of the low rates of accommoda-
ton in Boston. Parties VINO expect to
make the trip are registering with him
every day now, and the list Is gradually
increasing. Mr.. Varnadoe himself will
probably go by the Plant system, leaving
Savannah July s. and it is likely that quite
a large party will go with him at that time.
Parties are seeking information with re-
gard to the trip every day, and he is doing
much better than he expected would be
the case
The party which goes from Savannah
by the Plant system on July g. will join
the Atlanta delegation at Washington and
will meet the South Carolina delegation
at Weldon, N. c. II will likely be Joined by
a large delegation from Florida before it
reaches that point. Florida expects to
send a good crowd, and some of them will
go from Savannah by the Ocean steam
ships. The largest parties TO go will leave
probably by the steamship Birmingham
on July 5, and by the Plant SYSTEMS fast
mail train on July s.
The delegates have been requested where
II is possible for them to do so to carry
along some product for decorations, such
ac cotton. growing rice or gourds, or some
such products that are peculiar to the
south. Those who nave registered so far
with Mr.. Varnadoe, and who are certain
to make the trip are: Capt. and Mrs. j. L.
Johnson, w. +. Johnson, Misses Claire and
Cornelia Johnson, Mr.. and Mrs. A. d.
