other three punches taken together
In spite of the threatening weather
sixty or seventy boosters made the
trip in the special cars Every one o.
them was decorated with Americus
remnants. Good humor and noise was
On tap with the bunch and they at
traeted attention all along the way
to Macon. When they arrived in Macon
they marched double file to the Hotel
Dempsey.
The special booster edition of The
Times Recorder was the hit of the da z.
Fifteen hundred copies of the issue
were distributed to the delegates and
business men of the city.
DR.. W. G. Lee, a member of the Ma
con chamber, voiced the sentiment OF
the meeting when he concluded his
address of welcome with a compliment
to Americas and its daily newspaper.
He said:
