JOHN R. SHAW,
“THE CHAMPION”
Oothier and Furnisher,
117 Forsyth St.,
AMERICUS, - GA.
Seventy-Five (73e. Cent*
Per Week.
The word “Excursion” is ever coupled
with bustle, jostle, jamming, confusion
and all else attending a large crowd,
with no head-center to prevent it The
word “Club” carries with it privacy, or-
der, perfect satisfaction and pleasure to
all. The “Georgia Excursion Club” will
be so conducted as to give the most
studied quietude, privacy, and full rights
and privileges to its subscribers, simply
by taking time by the forelock, and hav
ing in advance every requirement and
contingency provided for. Each sub
scriber, family or private party will be
assigned seats and berths on a Dull man
palace car, and the train, once in readi
ness for departure, the excursionists will
not be disturbed at any other station by
passengers being placed amongst them.
The places, or car assigned them will
he theirs and theirs ouly, to the end of
the trip, and the same on their return.
In this way the Georgia Excursion
Club will run from Atlanta, Ga., to Chi
cago, Ill , Pullman palace cars to the
World’s Fair from May 1st to October,
1808, including meals on the train, tirst-
elass hotel accommodations din ing seven
days’ visit to Chicago, admission to the
fair grounds and transportation to and
from your hotels to the fair grounds
daily.
Remember, the whole round trip, con
ducting Pullman palace car club excur
sions, for only seventy-five cents (75
cents) per week for 100 weeks, from
.September 1st, 1801, to September 1st,
ISO:’, The tour will require just ten
days’ time, on the train and in Chicago.
We propose a cheap and easy way to
accomplish all this. But cheap
only as to the rate for the round trip,
and easy as to the mode of paying and
amount, of our installments. All our
expenditures will he princely, and if
needs be the whole amount will and
shall be expended to secure the full en
joyment and entire satisfaction of our
subscribers.
Upon an installment of 75 cents per
week for 100 weeks, so pa ; d that almost
any one desiring to attend the great Co
lumbian Exposition—the World’s Fair-—
at Chicago, inay do so in a first class
style, and in such a way as not to feel
the cost of the otherwise expensive
journey, and have none of the discom
forts, almost unattainable by private
parties, on such an occasion, and always
unreasonably high at such a time, in a
city crowded to over-flowing by persons
from all quarters of the globe.
To provide absolute security to the
subscribers, and to guarantee that the
contracts of the club will be carried out,
has been the first care of the projectors.
All moneys from subscribers will be
deposited in the Capital City Hank, At
lanta, Ga. Major T. II. Rlacknall, as
business manager, alone can check out
the money, and only for the legitimate
purpose of defraying the expenses of the
subscribers, as per our contract with
them, after each amount has been sub
mitted in an itemized account, and
properly audited by the board of audit
ors for the club, to-wit: Col. J. C. Court
ney, Gen. A. T. Hawthorne, with Major
John Y. Rankin, secretary.
The Georgia Excursion Club consists
of Major T. II. Rlacknall, business
manager; Major J. C. Courtney, auditor
and manager of transportation, and
Major JoliaX Rankin, secretary. The
attorneys 4br., the club are thr® well-
know«d»li\flriii of Dorsey, Brewster &
Howelv^f thVAtlanta bar.
This will be a very enjoyable plan for
say fifteen to twenty gemleraen, with
their wives, who are acquainted and
wish to visit the great fair and remain
together. Or for schools; one or two
teachers can take charge of twenty-five
or thirty pupils or students, and be in
the same car with them all the while on
the train. Or for an order wishing to
go and remain together, or any associa
tion or military company. Wo can give
them a Pullman palaco car for them
selves exclusively, so the families will
have a rare picnic indeed. The pupils
and students will bo as safe as at homo
or in the school room; the order as
though they were in their own hall or
lodge room; the military company as
private as If in their own armory. Any
religious order or association can bo as
dovotional as in their own chapel, with
nono to hinder, molest or make afraid.
Young ladles with no attendant for
the trip will bo met at the train by some
one lady appointed by the club; It may
be the wife of one of the officers of the
club, who will take charge of her or any
lady unattended, and chaperon all the
ladles, excursionists to Chicago, be
sides.
On each train there will be an agent of
the club to 8co that every reasonable
want of the subscribers? Is attended to,
and the lady chaperon above alluded to
will see that all the ladies are made com-
sortable, and will take special charge of
your wife, your daughter, your sister,
your mother or your ward, if you can
not yourself attend them; thus enabling
the husband, the fathor, the son, the
brother or the guardian to send, with
perfect assurance of safety, their ladies
in advance of them, and they can follow
later on, or not at all, as the case may
be.
Your baggage checks will be handed
to the club baggage-master, and each
piece of baggage will be sent at once to
your rooms. This feature alone will
save our subscribers much uneasiness,
and guarantee to our lady subscribers
perfect safety, promptness and care in
handling their baggage, and the safe
and immediate delivery of the same.
Your letters anil telegrams willJbe
taken charge of by the postmaster of
our club if sent to the care of “The
Georgia Excursion Club Rooms, Chicago,
Ill.,” and delivered to the subscriber
immediately upon the arrival of same.
Now think for one moment how easy
it is to secure a round trip ticket for all
this round of pleasure to the grand
World’s Fair. Simply by cutting down,
leaving off or dispensing with some one
or another of the very many luxuries or
needless extravagancies of the day, or
some imaginary want, and setting aside
seventy-five cents per week, for one hun
dred weeks. This will secure you the
grand tour to and from the World’s
Fair, and all the grand results that may
follow. For this trip may restore the
bloom of manhood to the cheek of the
care-worn clerk, book-keeper or artist
The vigor of former years to the aged
father, bring back the life blood to the
veins of a loving mother, restore the
fast fading cheeks of a devoted wife or
sister, and the trip will forever stamp
indellibly truths, facts and mat
tors of science and untold usefulness
deep into the minds of the Inquiring
the young and the old, and of pupils and
students, thirsting for a knowledge of
the world, and which it would require
an age to acquire by lecture, from books
or travel over the whole universe—all—
all this now for the sum of seventy-five
cents per week for the uext one hundred
weeks.
Now, from the fact your certificate is
transferable, should a party move from
the state, or is otherwise unable to pay
up and out, the amount paid in is wc.l
secured, and yonr certificate can be easi
ly transferred to some one who will
carry out your contract; and we believe,
a paid-up certiticate will be worth a
premium, for no one person, nor two,
nor three can take .8100 for each one,
and make the trip in the style and with
atisfaetion we guarantee, to each sub-
criber. We procure for our subscrib
ers attentions and courtesies, and solid
comforts, that money alone cannot pur
chase on such occasions.
A handsome club badge will bo pre
sented to each subscriber. These club
badges are beautiful aud chaste, aud
such as any lady or gentleman inay
wear.
Messrs. Thompson & Anderson, the
Hotel Windsor Jewelers, represent the
Chicago Excursion Club here. Call on
them and they will gladly furnish any
information.
Upon application at their store you
will receive a pamphlet giving a full de
scription of the scheme.
