left New York about two months
ago and visited her sister in New
Orleans, then in Hot Springs,
Ark., for some time. They went
from there to Atanta and arrived
m DBitzeerald - Friday. Rev.
Bleker had not seen his sister for
twelve years and their visit was
an entire surprise to him.
Miss Roeder sang in the Epis
copal church here Sunday morn
ing. el
Mrs. Roeder and Miss Roeder
expect to be in the city until af
ter Easter and the Fitzgerald peo
ple will be given an opportunity

A. B. & A. SCENIC ROUTE
TO THE REUNION
To those who have not made a
trip over the new A. B. & A. line
west from Manchester through
LaGrange, Roanoke, Lineville
and Talladega to Birmingham
have a genuine treat in store.
This line passes through the
most beautiful mountain region in
the South, traversing for some 50
to 75 miles the beautiful valley
along side the beautiful and his
toric Tallapoosa river. i 3
There is no section of the
entire South, not even excepting
the French Broad section of
Western North Carolina, more
beautiful than that part of Ala
bama though which the A. B, &
A. Railway passes. It is a rugged
country. The streams are beau
tiful, the mountains are high and
the valleys and mountain sides
offer unparalleled scenery. The
great variety of vegetation offer
the most enchanting views to the
travelers over this route.
To those of a more practical
term of mind, the magmficent
construction of the A. B. & A.
Railway through this rugged
country will prove most interest
ing. It is claimed that no railway
in the South cost so much per
mile as that of the A, B. & A.
west ofManchester to Birming
ham. It is the last word in rail
way construction.
For this occasion the A. B. &
A. and its connections have au
thorized extremely low rates from
all stations to Birmingham and
special arrangement of service has
been made so that passengers may
make a trip from any point on its
line to Birmingham at night.
Touristsleeping cars will be op
erated on the night trains from
Waycross and intermediate sta
tions on May 15th and 16th.
These cars will return from Bir
mingham to Waycross on May
18th and 19th.
A special train will be operated
connecting with trains No. 3 leav
ing Manchester at 330 a. m., May
16th, 17th, 18th and 19th. Re
turning special train will be op
erated to Manchester connecting
with train No. 4 from Atlanta
leaving Birmingham at 4:15 p. m,,
May 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th.
