Moonlight Picnic
At Lucy Lake

The weekly moonlight picnics
at Lucy Lake are indeed quite
the thing this hot weather,
a n d that experiment w e e k
before last when the Ocilla
Southern operated especial train
to the Lake seemed to hit the
spot exactly, for every since our
people have regretted that Thurs
day comes once a week IN
stead of twice. The crowd last
Thursday greatly exceeded the
one of the week before. and the
prediction is that the biggest
crowd on record will turn out this
coming Thursday. The special
train will leave the A., B. & A.
depot at $50 p. M, returning at
II, The round trip costs only
SOC, which amounts to a fraction
of a cent over one cent a mile.
There's plenty of good music at
Lucy Lake and dancing is indulg-
ed in freely, and the swimming
pool is a cracker-jack. Join the
crowd next Thursday night.
