My Dear Sir: The Special Educational Train which is to be operated in Februa ry and March by the State College of Agriculture in cooperation with the various railroads is ex pected to reach McDonough Feb. 13 about 8 00 a. m. ; Hampton March 4, about 10.00 a. in. The schedule has been carefully made up and we will follow it as closely as possible, tho of course there may be some variation from the time indicated. All visitors should come prepared to stay a liTtie while longer for the train may be delayed, but they should be at the station at the time indi cated above, for if the train ar rives promptly as it will in most instances, those who are late will miss a part of the benefit which it is hoped our visit will confer. Wo expect to stop an hour and a half at each place. During that time it is believed that as many as three or four short, practical talks can be made and leave a half hour for tho inspection of the exhibit car. Detailed information concern ing the make-up of the train and the character of the exhibits will be sent to you shortly. We trust we may have your co-operation and that of all the good people of your vicinity in making the visit of this Educational Train a succes. We would like to have you invite the school teachers and children of your county to visit the train. We beliove it would be a day well spent. Assuring you that our only de sire in this matter is to benefit the farmers whom it is our duty and pleasure to serve, I am, Very respectfully, Andrew N. Soule, President. Mr. R. W.
