PASSENGER AGENTS VISITED
GREENWOOD SATURDAY.
About forty representatives of
the passenger department Of the
Illinois Central and the Y. & NJ.
r. r. Cos, headed by S. G.
Hatch, passenger traffic manager,
of Chicago, made Greenwood a
very brief visit last Saturday.
These gentlemen had been on
a weeks tour of the Southern
lines of the great railroad system
which they represent, in order to
get acquainted with the people at
different points and to familiarize
themselves with the territory COW
cred by these railroads, which
will enable them to give tourists
and home-seekers more accurate
information concerning the natur-
al resources of the Southland it
is a matter of regret that their
stop in Greenwood was of such a
short duration. Those in charge
of this trip made a serious mistake
in not remaining in Greenwood
long enough to give the Commit
tee in charge of entertaining
them an opportunity to show
the genial passenger agents more
of the city and the magnificent
agricultural country surrounding
us, thereby giving these visitors a
chance to see and know some
thing more of this God-favored
section of the Delta.
The reception committee, how
ever, met the visitors, took them
in automobiles and whirled them
around the city as much as pos
sible during the short time they
were here, and we learn that they
were very favorably impressed
with what they. had a chance to
see.
