H. H. Greer Writes
from Savannah.
Savannah, Ga., Jan. 26, 1908.
Mr. Editor:
As The Weekly is expecting to
hear from me I will just drop a
few lines as I go along.
I had a nice journey from Hamp
ton via the Central of Ga. Ry., and
arrived here safe and on time.
Passed through some fine sections
of country and some that look al
most worthless. Almost every
farm house had a little syrup mill
in the lot, but I could not see
where they grew the cane. I be
lieve a Henry county farmer would
starve in some of these sections.
It was a rare thing to see a hog
running at large that would weigh
over fifty pounds, and cattle were
in proportion. But, they tell me
that the people are living and pros
pering all through these sections—
I tell yoti, it made me feel good
when I could see a cotton field.
After reaching the city and par
taking of some refreshments, I pro
ceeded to see the town. At first it
was hard to believe that it was
Sunday, though part of the stores
were closed. I saw several parties
going out on the cars into the
country to hunt with guns and
amnnition.
Savannah is a fine city in looks,
nice broad, white streets, plenty of
romp—dQn’t look like it was bun
dled up ;> to move. Everybody
takes his time; nobody seems to
he in a Hurry like we are up home.
Great changes have taken place
since I was here. The city has
grown wonderfully. It is also un
der very different circumstances.
Then it was in a turmoil of excite
ment. It was expected every
hour for a hot battle to be fought
between the Federal and Confed
erate armies. The battleship was
expected momentarily with the
rising of the tide, but it did not
take place there.
I next took a car and went to
Thunderbolt, where I spent an
hour watching the oyster fishers
catch oysters. Thunderbolt is a
nice place to while away a few
weary moments. The next suburb
is the Isle of Hope, which is also a
beautiful ]daee where it is almost
impossible for one to have the
bines. Now I think I have seen
almost all of the city of Savannah,
and the more I see of it the more T
like it. But I will now leave and
"o on further down till I strike
the Everglades
Perhaps I will let von hear from
mo a Grain, thoiigh I will promise
not. to say much about ca,tchinsr
flsh. I lea ve for Jacksonville and
Tampa.—H. H. Greer.
