VISITS FATHER PETIT.

Mr.. Robert ]. Younger, one OF Al
giers best citizens, and one of the
most popular men in the Canal-Com-
mercial Bank of New Orleans, has
returned from a two weeks vacation.
There is nothing strange that this
worthy young man should Bake a
vacation. but the place he selected
for his vacation is what is worthy
of some attention. Most people go
North or across the Lake for rest,
but very few ever think of going to
Georgia for such a trip. Well he did
and if you want to know If it is a
good place for a vacation ask him.
Father Petit has often asked some of
his friends to come to see him, and
Mr.. Younger was the first one to
avail himself of the invitation, and
from all appearances he must have
,enjoyed himself Fishing. iboating,
bathing and motoring made up the
daily program. He, is free to tell
about the trip to Florida, and on the
Dorothy W., and the big catches oil
fish. Well let's hope some others
will look towards Southeast Georgia
whenever they desire to take rest
and get from the busy towns.
