TO PACIFIC COAST
A Splendid Party Leaves
Over Seaboard Air Line.
The Trip is Charming One and There
are Eight Days in Which to Join
the Party Going with Rev. and
Mrs. William Black.

The large party of North Carolinians
who will take advantage of the UNI
usual opportunity offered by the per-
sonally conducted tour to the Pacific
coast, arranged by the Seaboard Air
Line, is growing daily The special
cars will leave Raleigh, Wilmington
and Charlotte on Thursday, August
3rd and will meet at Monroe, where
they will be formed into a special
for the delightful journey to the yell
lowstone, through the Grand Canon,
across the great rockies, to California
and up TO the Lewis and Clark EX-
position at Portland. A number of
delightful side trips have also been
arranged.
Rev. and Mrs. William Black, of
Davidson, will accompany the party
and the fact that the previous trips
arranged by them have been such
great successes has done much to
gather a most delightful party to-
gether for this.
The rates have been put SO low
that it is doubtful whether there Will
be another such opportunity in many
years to visit California at such small
cost. The rate is possibly less than
half what it has ever been before.
Mr.. c. H. Gattis, travelling passenger
agent of the Seaboard, is receiving let
ters in every mail asking for reserva-
tons and even at this late date each
mail adds new names to the list of
reservations. Some are just asking
for information and from this number
additional members of the party will
be added between now and next
Thursday as there are still eight days
in which to complete arrangements.
