The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1895-12-12
COLLEGE NOTES.

Our trip to Atlanta was one of un-
alloyed pleasure and will long be re-
membered by every one of US. Mary
vile College was well represented IN
Atlanta. I'VE left Maryville by special
train bright and early Tuesday morn
ing jolly large crowd of US one hun
dred and fifty-six in all, some older
some younger some wise, some fool
ish and more or less green. Several
members of the Faculty, Drs Board
man and Wilson and Profs. Waller,
Golf, Sheriff. and Jones, lent their
presence and dignity to the party for
the latter we are especially grateful.
We left Maryville at seven a. m. and
reached Atlanta at six p. m. two hours
late. 1t really seemed as if nearly all
Of the boys spent the day wandering
back and forth through the cars.
Whenever the train stopped they COL
lected on the platform and started the
loungers around tie pepots with the
thrilling chorus ''Howee-how Chill
howee" and they kept this UP until
the house had disappeared in the dim
distance and we were rushing through
barren fields of stubble. When we
left the train a. Atlanta, we started
in great possession for our lodging
houses we heard such remarks as
"where did they come from2 "Who
in the world are theyp "Reckon
the whole family's come to town" etc.
Tuesday evening the greater part Of
our crowd went to the tabernacle and
heard Mr.. Moody preach, afterwards
we retired to our respective abodes,
the girls to Hotel Carolina, the boys
to Cherokee Inn, and that night we
slept the sleep Of the weary.
We were very much pleased to
meet Mr.. Charles Alexander who
was assisting Mr.. Moody and who did
great deal to make our visit to At
larta very enjoyable.
Wednesday morning We set forth
early. 1t is SAID that one youth arose
at three o'clock and started out in
order that ne might get good seat at
the Exposition, and it is certain that
Others rushed to the windows and
gazed with open eyed and open
mouth wonder at the electric cars and
the throng in the streets below, and
one verdent youth thought there must
be show in tow because there were
so many people.
When we had become somewhat
accustomed to these new and startling
sights we set out for the Exposition
and then our aStonlshment was over
whelming, we were simply dumfound-
ed mo other word describes our emo
tlonsD
The first building we entered was
the Art building and one could easily
spend whole day there among the
gems of painting and statuary.
The Florida building, pyramid in
form, was filled with magnificent
specimens of fruit and vegetables.
There were also exhibits of of miner
ais and some manufactures. In this
building one felt pleasant sensation
of warmth, very pleasing in contrast
to the air outside, for we found that
the "Sunny South" in regard to AT
.lanta, is myth.
We spent long time in the U. S.
Government building watching the
fish, thousands of them darling and
diving about in the water while the
light cleaned and flashed upon them
and brought out every tint of their
beautiful graceful bodies. There
were models of different kinds of in
.cubators used for Matching differen,
s sorts of fish, then there were models
of vessels used in the seal fisheries
and in another place, a large group Of
sea animals, including several seals
and a great walrus. Opposite the
fisheries exhibit was the treasury ex
hibit. The prin ,ipal feature of this
was machine for making money!
a convenient thing to own. Olhel
interesting departments IN the U. S
building were those devoted to worl
among the Indians, the Carlise Schoo
Exhibition was particularly noticeable
the Pastal system and the Reform
school and Penitentiary work.
The Southern Railway building
