thoroughly beneficial day for the party
aboard the educational train at Savan-
nah After particularly arduous week $
work, all hands aboard were tired and
they absorbed rest like sponge takes
up wafer. Plotted by officials of the Cen
trail of Georgia railway, they saw good
part of the beautiful city and had some
fine things to eat at Thunderbolt. Long
confinement in narrow quarters had rem
dered the live stock stiff and tired, and
so it was for them a good day as well
as for the men. Early Sunday morning
they were taken out on a platform and
walked up and down for two or three
hours. Constant travelling at fairly
rapid schedule had shaken up the train
considerably and it came in for no small
share of the general benefit
Saturday Will go on record as one OF
the best days on the whole trip. Four
towns, in three counties, and crowds
aggregating more than 1000. was task

Toomsb oro, Is miles further down the
line, was in many respects exactly SINH

the same size. the same general ground
plan, with the same air of prosperity
and progressiveness. and with a popula-

of exactly the same enthusiastic inter-

Then came Tennille. where the crowd
was so big and so bent on learning that
it overwhelmed the train; and after Ten
mile. Wadley, which wasn't far behind
in numbers, nor whit in interest.
Sandersville sent down a strong party
in a special train to Tennille, and the
northbound Augusta Southern waited an
hour and a half to accommodate folks
up their way. Cheap rates prevailed on
each of the several lines coming into

dinner consisting mainly of various sea-
food dishes, for which the cafes at Thun-
derbolt are deservedly famous. pleas
ant hour on the verandas after dinner,
with a strong breeze straight from the
ocean blowing in their faces, made the
erstwhile WORKOUT workers feel as if
they had never been weary in their lives,
and put them in fine fettle for a cruise
several miles out to sea from the Yacht
club 1t was night when they finally
got back to the city, after a long ride in
automobiles over the magnificent she'll
roads of Chatham county. The gentle
men who conducted the party were ]. NJ.

train are In keen trim again for arduous
work
