It Is pleasure as W9lty az q, opIX 70
friend to advise her to g6 t6 the ExposF-
ton. Rich or poor If 9 ,person has any
ready money go to the ExposiaonA 80
nowl Delay may involve the expenditure
OF the needed money on some far less
profitable frplic. It will bea very long
time before any one in this section will
have the opportunity ofgoing TO any ex-
hibition or exposition that will compare
with the Atlanta show. It Is no newspa-
par talk to say that the Exposition iH very
much more credltable and complete, and
satisfactory and up to-date than anything
of the kind, with the exception iof ,the
Worlds Fair, which COST its millions and
had the United States treasury behind 1t
to very much larger extent than the
Atlanta Exposition. There Is no fake or
sham about this Exposition. The build
ings that are shown In all OF the litho-
craps and advertising matter appear not
only on paper, but exist In reality on the
beautiful Exposition grounds. This Is q
case where seeing Is believing, and 1t Is
pretty safe to venture that everyone who
goes to Atlanta has good word for the
Exposition, unless he may have had some
particularly unlucky incident. Now 1t
can be put down as an undeniable fact
that whoever misses visiting the EXPOSE.
ton neglects an opportunity that is. not
likely to occur again in lifetime. go TO
Atlanta!
When you get to Atlanta, two elements
will swoop down on you; the hotel
."whooper1 and the cut rate ticket agent.
They are thicker then hops and far more
lively than dozen glasses OF beer would
make a visitor.

D is no European plan move on, unless you
wish to subsidize the proprietor. The
best plan ia to rent a room at q private
horse, there are hundreds Of suoh places
In Atlantis. Rooms for lodging can be-
hadtat from fifty cents to. dollar q room,
all night, for each person. Some OF these
pisces charge 81 so each, for lodging and
breakfast. There is no need OF register
ing at q hotel and paying for dinner and
supper, when the chances are that the
Exposition or some other attraction will
claim your attention. By simply en-
Rsging lodging you can eat where and
when you please. Many Of tho hotels
take dodgers at reasonable rates, but the
arrangements have first to be made.
Just here it. may be mentioned that nohe
ofthe reputable hotels show any evidences
OF gouging. They charge from 81 up
wards, some 81 for q room, others ~ for
q room and one meal and upwards, but
there are nice private families just as
anxious to provide room.
It is we'll to start out early for the Ex-
position-say 8 o'clock Atlanta time,
which would be 8 o'clock over in South

M to the pleasure of the customer.
There Ia cafe on Peachtree street that
gives asubstantial breakfast for aquarter.
The menu reads like this: Steak, hash,
oatmeal, large hominy, biscuits, bread,
tea or coffee, mashed potatoes and rice.
About the best, quickest and easiest
way to get ont to the Exposition grounds
is BY the special trains0f the Southern
Railway that leave the station next to the
Markham House and adjoining the union
station, where you arrive in Atlanta, every
three minutes. These trains make the
trip in seven minutes, and land the pas
sengers at good starting point at the
Exposition grounds. The fare on this
train each way Is ten cents-the same as
on the street cars. One or two trips,
which take little longer, may be taken
by way Of the herdics, which are omnibus
arrangements. The trip on one Of these
vehicles takes you up Peaohtree street to
the Exposition, and in that way affords
fine view and pleasant ride through the
5th avenue Of Atlanta. The straight fare
on these herdics Is only five cents. IF You
wish to be fashionable there is a tally-ho,
which starts from the Kimball, and which
charges more.

It is very much q matter Of choice as, to
where the inspection begins. Perhaps 1t
would be as well to make circuit OF the!
park and get a general idea Of the grounds.
The stairway In front Of the fine arts
building is an excellent point from which
to get q birds-eye view Of the grounds.
The Exposition people are certainly to; be
highly complimented on the success with
which they have designed and executed
the park. The picture is 9 pretty and
attractive one. It is designed on liberal
basis, and there is no evidence of crowd
ing. The lake.. the terraces, the stone
abutments, the statuary, the grass plots,
the bridges and the general and special
buildings all go to make up splendid
picture. The general view Is itself charm
ing, but that Is hardly what one goes to
Atlanta for. d.
One anxious inquiry is, How much
does it cost to see the Exposition? Again,
this is matter Of style. Some folks like
to put on style, especially when they get
away from home, and those people can
put on all the 'textras,.' they want and
spend months wa. SO in day, but for
those who are in earnest about the mat
ter and only want to spend what is likely
to be necessary it will be interesting to
show what is reasonable. expense ao-

out time and again:
