PIPKJN'S EXCURSION
TO NORFOLK, BALTIMORE
AND WASHINGTON ON
AUGUST 81.
A Rare Chance to See our Mas
ti0nal Capital To See the
Historic Potomac and Fort
ress Monroe, Where Jefferson
Davis was Imprisoned.

To stand on the deck of the
magnificent Washington steams
boat at the dock ia Norfolk, b. a.
the hoarse whistle OF the big en-
CINE, and the order of the officer
to "cast off the lines" and feel
the floating palace gently glide
ont into the stream is a delights
ful sensation not soon fors
gotten. AS the steamer drops
down the river, the traveller secs
hundreds OF vessels, both steam
and sail Here is d big American
man of war, there d massive for>
eign sailing ship. with tall masts
pointing way up to the clouds,
and with a far-away loOk ABOUT
her, and you wonder of the seas
through which she has sailed aud
the distant lands she has visited.
Bnt the steamer is %approach~
ing Old Point Comfort aud Forts
ress Monroe. Yes. Fortress
Monroe, where Jlferscn Davis,
President Of the Confederate
States, was shackeled like a fell
on and imprisoned, and then dis.
charged because they could find
no law which he had violated.
Then the beautiful steamer MAJ
jestically turns her PROV up
the historic Potomac, famous in
song and story. On the river, you
pass the shrine to which SO many
Americans go .MountV ernon, the
home OF George Washington, the
first president Of the United
States. Soon after passing Mount
Vernon. the quaint old town of
Alexandria is reached, and you
are pointed out the church ia
which George Washington wor>
shipped, and the hotel where the
true confederate soldier tore
down the union flag.
But Nashington-the capital Of
the United States, looms upln the
distance, AMI already the great
Washington monument, the capis
tol, and other buildings are
plainly in view. La half an
hour, The steamer goes into
dock, and the delighted travel
Ter walks up the streets of
Washington City, the capital of
the greatest republic the world has
ever seen, and views with wonder
and admiration the most beautiful
city in the world today. For
people who have travelled the
world over say, that Washington
City is the most beautiful city on
the face of the earth.
A visit to such a city is not
only a rare pleasure, but it il a
source Of education. 1t is money
we'll spent. On the 31st of this
month Mr.. R. E. Pipkin will run
an excursion to Washington City.
All those who can possibly do so
should, by all means avail them
selves of the opportunity. 1t is
a wonderfully cheap trip, only
$450 for a round ticket from
Goldsboro, and the like may not
come again. 1t would be a pity
not to take advantage of this
great opportunity.
