The excursion of the Perry Sunday
schools to Americus yesterday was a
mos‘ enjoyable and successful affair In
every respect
Having visited Americus before, they
knew what to expect In' the way of
generous, openhanded hospitality, but in
the entertainment of her visitors yester
day all former efforts were surpassed
and the excursionists departed more
favorably impressed than ever with
Americus and her people.
At 10:15 o'clock the special train of
six well filled coaches drew up at the
Spring street crossing,opposite Magnolia
dell, where the picnicers were to spend
the day.
The special committees, together with
a large number of cltizous, were on hand
to receive the visitors and oxtend them
a hearty welcome to south vest Georgia’s
busy metropolis. There were nearly
fonr hundred excursionists in the party,
and the beautiful dell was soon a scene
of merrimeut.
After all had assembled about the
platform Judge Crisp, In his usual happy
manner, weloomed the* guests upon be
half of the city. Mr. M. Callaway, su
perintendent of the Baptist Sunday
school here, followed Judge Crisp in a
short welcoming address upon behalf of
the Americus schools.
Responses were made by Messrs. A. C.
Riley and Fred Houser, of Perry, both
of whom were loud In their praises of
Americus and the hospitable manner in
which she had received the visitors,
song service of half an hour followed
the speeches, after which the children
were turned loose to have all the fun
they wanted.
As the hour of high noon approached,
the big baskets were opened and their
contents spread temptingly upon the
long tables arranged in the center of the
dell. A description of such a dinner as
It was is simply out of the question, and
will not be attempted here. Suffice it to
say most assiduous attention was paid
the festal board for more than an hour,
and even then considerably more than
twelve basketsfull were taken up.
The afternoon was spent in the usual
way—games, twinging, boat-riding on
the lake, love-making, etc., in which a
large majority of the younger element of
the party took an aottve part, while the
older ones looked on with pleasure and
thought of the time when they were
young and went to picnics in tho good
old days of our fathers.
Many of the visitors were taken in
band by citizens who had carriages and
were given a drive over the town. Some
of these had never visited Americus be
fore, and many expressions of admira
tion,were heard as the carriages rolled
through the beautifully shaded streets
to the various points of interest about
the city.
Promptly at 4 o'clock the signal
whistle was heard, and the crowd re
paired tn the depot to take the train for
home. It was a jolly, happy crowd that
filled the handsome coaches, and it was
not without regret that the goodbyes on
both sides were said. The day had
proved a most enjoyable one for all, and
each visitor carried away only tho pleas
antest recollections of Americus and her
hospitable people.
Our friends and the public know
that we have for the last 22 years con
ducted a live business in Americus,
