Z. c. Miller. of Fitzgerald. ma

train at Baxlev Saturday. says there
are great times ahead in Fitzgerald.
where preparations for THE coming OF
the train have been under way for
some time. Great times as used
here. means hard work for the lecturing
marty. for the more the crowd tne
harder they work. and they have no
time at any OF the stops for enjoy
ment. From the time they climb OUT
OF their hunks ooh MORNING., as ms
fer of fact, till they climb into me
same hunks at night. they are hard at
If. and the only pleasure they get =
when they accomplish a good days
work and convert somebody to the creed
of agricultural science and progressive
farming.
Likewise. it is said, there are great
times ahead at Douglas and Mouitrle,
the latter point being the terminus ana
Todav's work win be the most stl,sn-
nous in the whole trip. In aadition 70
the distance which must be coveted,
necessitating fast running between the
stons there are FIVE stops to be made
before the work is ended MOUTHS.

gram of lectures from the tram. ~.

ing until the train stops at Homerviiie

travelling almost constantly. and It's FAR
tv will be hard at work while the train
Is not in motion. Today's run VIII put
the Atlanta. Birmingham and Atiantc
to a hard test.
Moultrie's addition TO today's seized
ME is a deserved concession, arduous
though 1T makes the days work. Moui-
trie is a young city now, possesslng

gia and a population of some four or
five thousand, that is constantly grow
ing. IT could not we'll have been pass

nv a physical impossibility Of spne
kind. 1t is on the schedule now, fholagns
and is prepared to make the most OF
the point 1T mas won.
