would ask for its consideration Mon
day.
The forty Athens merchants and
business men who signed the agree
ment of the Chamber of Commerce
for the trade excursion plan met last
night and organized the Athens Trade
association, for the purpose of effect
uating the plan. Officers of the as
sociation were elected, standing com
mittees . appointed and arrangements
made for the initial excursions. With
the signatures of the forty men and
their contributions of $25 each secur
ed, the work of the special commit
tee of the Chamber of Commerce was
ended and the work of carrying out
the plan then devolved upon the mer
chants themselves. No time was lost
in perfecting the organization.
The Athens Trade association, with
a capital of $1,000 on which to begin
operations, will provide for c
cursion train each week during the
year, to be operated in turn on each
railroad entering Athens, bringing in
prospective purchasers. The associa
tion, through its officers and commit
tees, will arrange the dates of each
excursion, and will advertise through
out the section to be traversed, free
railroad fare to Athens and the other
many advantages to be derived by
trading here. A special advertising
committee composed of A. H. Sikes,
chairman, C. H. Heidler, Sol J. Boley,
Lloyd Palmer and T. W. Brobston
was named, and these gentlemen will
begin at once on a publicity campaign
to be waged in every town within a
50-mile radius of Athens.
The first trade train will be run
over the Southern from Lula on April
7. and then on April 9 another will
be run over the Georgia from Union
Point. Following these other trains
will be yun over the Seaboard both
ways and over the Gainesville Mid
land and the Central.
The meeting last night was a very
enthusiastic one and many of those
present made talks showing the great
benefits which would be derived from
operating these trains. The meeting
was called to order by President Er
win of the Chamber of Commerce,
who made a short talk, pointing out
the possibilities of the plan. E
Dorsey was elected president of the
association and Lee Morris, secretary.
