BUSINESS IS SOON
t Very Eocooraglrg.
Cotton (s Selling in Abundance and
Farmers are Meeting Their Obli
gations—-Merchants are Preparing
for Large Volume of Business This
Fall.
The outlook for a large business In
Valdosta was never brighter than it
is at the present time. The farmers
liave made a good cotton crop and
are getting fa<r prices for it.
They are meeting their obligations
and there Is already a briskness
about trade that has not been seen
before In a long time. It Is true the
summer months are still with us
and the fall trade has hardly set in
g^d, but the merchants say they
have never had more eager enquiries
thau they are having these days.
The milliners, the dry goods mer
chants, the clothiers and shoe deal-
srs have all opened large stocks and
they have many callers every day.
Phe openings this week promise to
lraw large crowds, not only of Val-
iosta shoppers, but from the coun-
ay around.
One of the most prominent merch-
ints in Valdosta said today that
here was a stronger determination
lore now to cater to the best trade
a the towns around than had ever
een known before. He said that
here was a class of trade in all of
lie towns that wanted something
etter than he local market afforded.
Te says that the Valdosta merchants
re catering to this class of trade
ery largely now. The goods they
ave boight have been selected with
▼lew to pleasing fastidious shop-
ers, and they are really the same
lass of goods that are sold to the
sst class of merchants in the larger
ties of the South.
“The people of Valdosta are among
ie best dressed people one will find
aywhere” said a leading milliner,
hey understand styles and they
>ep up With the changes. The ar-
age Vsldostan will compare favor
ably In dress with any person one
will meet anywhere. This goes to
show that up-to-date merchants only
can cater to such a class of trade.
The stylishness of the Valdostans
Is due largely to the educational
Ideas of he merchants as to what Is
best'to wear and how to wear it.
They have made It a etudy for years
and the result Is that Valdosta has
become one of the most up-to-date
markets In the roiintry.
Valdosta’s fall and winter^trade Is
going to be Immense this year, and
a large volume of the business Is
coming from neighboring towns that
want a little better goods than their
local market can afford.

The first regular passenger train
over the Georgia and Florida railroad
will reach thin city next Wednesday
at noon from Haziehurst, Ga.
The train will leave Haziehurst
that morning at seven o’clock and It
will come through by Broxton, Doug
las, Willacoochee, Nashville and oth
er places, taking up a crowd of peo
ple at each station and bring them
to Valdosta to spend the day.
The first train will be devoted ex
clusively to the white people and
the officials of the road are working
up the crowd to come here. It will
consist of the best class of people
between here and- Haziehurst, and
the citizens of Valdosta have already
decided to arrange some line of en
tertainment for the visitors.
A meeting will be held tonight to
take up the matter and discuss what
line of entertainment shall be ar
ranged. It has been suggested that
open-house be kept for the visitors
and that lunches be prepared and
served to them. One suggestion was
to tag every guest with a badge,
which should admit him to the place
where refreshments are to be serv
ed. Another suggestion was to have
the dinner prepared when the guests
arrive and serve it to the visitors In
a bunch, so that the citizens of Val
dosta will have a better opportunity
to qieet them and talk with them.
The details of the entertainment
will be arranged later, It having al
ready been decided to make It all
that It should be. Valdosta never
lags when a test of hospitality comes
and every citizen will do his part to
ward welcoming to the city the peo
ple on the line of road above here.
It Is very probable that the meet
ing tonight will decide all about what
kind of entertainment will be given
the vlsltoi*.
