says.
Fifty cars full of Fitzgerald and
Ben Hill county folks, leading citi-

party will come from TalluIah Falls to
Athens. They are, frankly, on tour
OF boosting for their own section and
enroute they will take observations of
the sections which they believe are
comparable with their own. They

than two hundred of the citizens from
the progressive county of Ben Hill
will constitute the party In the party
will be the Ben Hill Ukelele Girls and
the famous Vaughn quartet The fol-
lowing is an extract from letter from
the Fitzgerald Chamber of Com
rlerce:
I'VE expect to have at least fifty
car loads of citizens of Ben Hill coun-
ty on the trip and it would surprise
you to know that some Of our leading
citizens have never visited a single
place in north Georgia north of At
lanta. They know just about as much
about north Georgia as they know
about California 1t is our desire to
show them some of the wonders, both
natural and man-made, of the north
east section of our state"
The Toccoa Record, of Toccoa, Ga,
had the following article
"a letter to The Record from the
Secretary of the Chamber of Com

The Chamber of Commerce mail
was flooded Friday morning with
communications from Mayors and
leading citizens along the route of
the Seeing Georgia Tour, indicating
that The tourists are going to be given
reception unequaled to that given
any tour ever run on the roads of
Georgia. The letters received this
morning make it absolutely imper-
alive that the citizens of Fitzgerald
and Ben Hill county drop their bust
ness affairs for week, and go north
war4 with larger number of cars
than have ever travelled in tour
of this kind on the roads of Georgia
The mayors and others from towns
which have not been scheduled for a
stop by the tourists are clamoring
for a change in schedule in order to
permit the tourists to stop at their
towns.
1t is impossible to print all of the
letters received by the Chamber of
Commerce but few of the most inn
portant letters are as follows:
From Asa G. Gambler, Mayor Of
Atlanta: Il greatly appreciate your
esteemed favor of the 10th Am de-
