ENJOYED TRIP
To FREDERICK
TOOK TWO BOATS TO ACCOM-
MODATE ALL OF THE
VISITORS.
They Were Given Fish Fry, Visited
the Old OgIethorpe Fort and Other
Historical Points-Visitors are Now
HomeWard Bound.

Decidedly the most pleasant feature
of the K. of P. grand lodge meeting,
which has Just terminated in this CITY,
was the trip to Frederick and ST.
Simon yesterday. The day was an
ideal one and nature, had she been in
conspiracy with the committee ON ar
rangements, could not have furnished
better weather. The Attaquin and the
Messenger were both pressed into
service in order to care for the $50 peo
pie, who made the trip. The securing
of the latter boat was an emergency
movement made by the committee in
order that nc visitors or Brunswick
ians for that matter, be lift who had ap
peared at the wharf to take the trip
1t developed a few minutes before leav
ing time that the capacity of the At
taquin, 325, had been reached with a
line of people still on the dock, anX
ious to 60 The committee got busy
and in few minutes the little steam
er Messenger Of the Seamen's Mis-
sion, was under steam and the anxious
ones were ushered aboard, the two
steamers pulling out about the same
time. A clear, crisp morning, large
animated happy crowd of ladies and
gentlement, made the trip to Freder-
lea delightful one, the visitoAs, many
of whom had never before made this
attractive water trip, enjoyed it to the
fullest degree. At Frederick, after an
inspection of the old fort of Gen
Oglethorpe and other points of inter
est, the large crowd was escorted to
the pretty grove near the Dodge home,
where q magnificent fish dinner was
served. The menu, under the care of
Capt. John Stevens, that prince of en-
tertainers, was almost perfect, consist
ing of fish of every variety, cooked in
every fashion. deviled crabs, devilCd
clans, crabs in the plain and crab
salads, pickles, several kinds of bread,
coffee etc 1t was a feast, such as
the delegates from the interior had not
been looking forward to and the del
egates and the occasion met with even
honors. The supply was large and the
service was excellent and there was
not a man, woman or child in the
party who did not have that splendid
feeling of satisfaction that follows,
when something real good goes to the
inner party.
After the meal hour, the party was
shown the famous John Wesley oak,
Doctor w. B. Burroughs detailing the
interesting facts in connection with it,
and pointing out the historic ground
of Bloody Marsh, etc. By courtesy
of the vestry of the church. the crowd
was admitted to this quaint little tenn
pie of worship and the ancient church
yard surrounding it, in which for a
hundred years earlier settlers of Geor
gia have been slumbering.
Entering the church, the great
crowd enjoyed a pleasant service led
by Rev. Troy Beatty of Athens, a del
egate to the convention and one of
the most popular men in the grand
lodge. An hour or more was spent
at Frederick and the party again
boarded the boats for the return trip.
stay of half hour was made at
Ocean Pier and the visitors here enjoy
ed the beach. the lighthouse and other
attractions of the resort. The return
trip to the city was a pleasant one,
though several of the visitors suffered
from sea sickness as the sound was
rather rough. A slight accident to
the machinery of the Messenger made
it necessary for the Attaq1in to tow
her most of the way from St. Simon,
the little launch R. l.. Mobiles render
ing service in going into the shoaled
water and connecting tow line to
the Attaquin No serious results fol-
lowed and those aboard the Messen-
ger a large majority of whom were
visitors, rather enjoyed the novelty
of the small sized ship wreck and the
tow to town, which will furnish sub
iect for discussion on their return
home.
The trip was a splendid success, it
was enjoyed thoroughly by the visit
ors as well as the Brunswick folk, who
we're present and the committee on
ARRANGEMENTS deserve to be congrat-
ulated for having reserved the very
host number on the program for the
