ARE ANXIOUS TO GO.
Many Applications for Excursion Tick
cts to Porto Rico.

The people of this immediate section are
interested in the excursion that is to leave
Brunswick, Ca, about Novmber 10 for
Porto Rico and other points in the West
Indies.
The natural beauty of Porto Rico is I'M
usually interesting just at this time. The
island is thickly inhabited and the c.viliza-
ton that exists there will compare favor
ably with any other country on the globe
Notwithstanding this fact there are many
opportunities for advancement in finan-
cial and political way for people going
there now.
The Porto Rico excursion will be the
means of carrying between four and five
hundred intelligent, progressive Ame ricans
to that country. The excursion party will
go not only to Ponce and San Juan, but
other important places on the island. TIE
cost of making the round trip is very rea-
sonable, and the fact that it is in the most
pleasant season of the year will insure an
enjoyable trip.
The Porto Rico excursion will be under
the direct supervision and control of the
West Indian Excursion company 500 Tenn
pie Court, Atlanta, Ga.
For full particulars and map of Porto
Rico send 10 cents to the West Indian Ex-
cursion company Atlanta, Ga. *t*
