That the big Sunday issue of the
Morning News reaches every quarter
of Savannah was clearly shown by the
number of children who visited the
Electric Amusement Park at Thunder
bolt yesterday afternoon.
1t was. without question the largest
gathering of children ever seen in this
vicinity, and the Savannah Electric
Company and the Amusement Park
management were swamped for short
while. Few realized that there were
sc many tots In the city.
The Savannah Electric Company
handled more than 5000 read
crs of the Sunday Morning News.
How many hundreds escaped the notice
of the extra conductors on the trolley
cars is not known. There were boys
and girls of all Sizes and they were
given the time of their lives with the
aid of the coupons that had been clip
ped from Sundays News.

Where the kinds came from Heaven
only knows" said Manager Labb, of
the Amusement Company. "Why, it
just rained boys and girls all the
afternoon. It's about the toughest att
ernoon l ever spent and they all had
a high old time, of it. With their
Morning News coupons they were given
a chance at everything on the grounds.
The toboggan. the carousal, the Paris
ian maize, the Tom Thumb Railway
and the House of Trouble were all
visited. Although I am used to hand

children in the East and West, l am
frank to confess that this bunch stag

one would have ever supposed that
there were so many tots within 100
miles of Savannah. Why, IT made a
man think he was seeing more than
double, and there is no doubt that the
Morning News made a winning. 1t was
about the biggest thing of the sort
ever pulled off in this neighborhood."

And because of the fun the Morning

The Morning News is going to give

just What You Must Do.
There were a great many of you who
could not get out yesterday, and there
were a number of you who didn't un-
derstand just how it worked. It should
be all very plain now. Exchange Morn
ing News coupon, which will be printed
in next Sundays Morning News at any
of the places named on the coupon, for
round trip ticket to Thunderbolt. and
coupons for the five shows at the park.
All of this will cost ten cents, which
gives you ride to Thunderbolt and
back, from any part of the city, for
just half fare.
OF course you haven't got to do this
if you want to walk to the Amusement
Park, but it's a long walk in the sum-
mer time. Still If you do make the
trip on foot, or ride your wheel, all
you have got to do is to present your
Morning News coupon at the box Of
flce on the grounds and get it ex-
changed for tickets that will allow you
to make a circuit of the shows.
Itll all agreed now that another trip
will be made next Monday, so hold OH
to the scissors and wait for the
Sunday edition of ffe Morning News.
