With the Weekly Editors. Bright and early Monday ing July 16th we left Ellaville for a short outing with the Georgia Weekly’ Press Association, We arrived in Atlanta at 10 o’clock and at 12 in company with three coaches of Georgia pencil pushers we took the Seaboard Air Line for Athens. Quite a number of ladies were among the party. We arrived at Athens at 2 o’clock where a cordial reception, carriages and a splendid dinner awaited the hungiy party. Under the shade of the trees in the lovely park the tables were spread. A genuine Georgia barbecue and tlie best and hottest Brunswick stew, - lemonade, and some beer, a lot of picnic dainties made a dinner that the denizens of the editorial tripod did full justice to. After the feast we were driven over the city and shown the beauti ful streets, the normal school, the anti helium residences, the Univer sity grounds, building, library and others places too numerous to mention in this brief article. That night it seemed as if the entire supply of Japanese lanterns from the flowery kingdom had been imported to the Classic City and all lighted on this occasion. It was a most brilliant scene. as s P rc ,‘ la ,n / , . , .* ’ ‘' un –' h i' c “ ,n f» a,,t Wce-oming flowed like a river for several hours Everybody seemed to be ' ' ,1, j ove -with . , everybody , Chancellor ,, ... 11,1 . ani! veral . othur , rom,ncnt . “ P Athenians were present, Athens invited the weekly press to hold their next annual convention in t |, a £ f a j r c ity. The invitation was accepted. . At driven . r 10 we were to the depot to take the train for Elberton. All hail ! beautiful Athens, Georgia’s Classic City! We went, we saw, and were conquered. Elberton is a city of tour thous and people, banks, factories, brick stores, churches, shady streets, a public library, etc. Two days were spent here where the conven tion held two short business ses sions in Elbert county’s handsome court house. From Elberton we went to Toc coa and spent a few hours there, driving out to the famous Toccoa falls. En route to Tullulah Falls the editorial party stopped a short while at Cornelia. We spent two days most pleas antly at Tallulah Falls, guests of that handsome hotel, Tallulah Lodge, which is under the splen did management of Col. William Elliott Johnstone. The visit was a revelation to most of us. There are four falls within a halt mile, and from the bottom of the lowest to the top of the first is 306 feet. Grand chasm is a canyon which in places is 1,200 feet deep. The scenery about the falls is the most beautiful we have ever seen. We had had passes to Augusta, Charleston and Isle of the Palms, but had most unwillingly to forego the pleasure of continuing our trip with the weekly editors. The above is not half we would like to tell of our outing with the Weekly Press. We sincerely hope we may all live to meet each other at Athens next year. In conclusion I want to tender my sincerest thanks to Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Coleman, Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Wakefield, Miss Mar tha Penn and Mr. James Harrison for their many kindnesses shown me on the trip. They helped to make it a most enjoyable one. 1 will remember them always. Mas. T. A. Collins.

You will like it TYBEE BY THE SEA The Most Delightful Ocean Resort on the South Atlantic Coast. As the summer approaches with its heating rays of summer sun descending upon the earth, wither ing the flowers, scaring the leaves, bringing into view the palmettoes and sun shades,—the “shirt waist maiden” and the “shirt-sleeve youth,” it is then that the cities and towns are thinned of their, habitations and every train carries mountain ward or seaward its burden of precious souls. The northern coast may have its charms for some, the mountains for others, but for the joys of summer, where gladness and gayety reign supreme, there’s no place like “fair old Tybee by the Sea.” Its long, sloping beach of snow-like sand, its restless billowy ocean, its moonlight and its music, its glorious surf and invigorating breezes—what could be sweeter or grander than the happy hours at 4 4 Tybee by the Sea?” The Central of Georgia with its magnificent and comfortable coaches, its handsome and courte ous officials add half the charm to summer’s holiday.
