The real festivities of Pre:.s Wefek
beguv last Monday with our wonder
ful day in Douglas and Cogec county.
Breakfast at tlu: New Douglas Ho
tel was so delicious after our all
night’s ride from Atlanta. Driving ail
day over the eo.vty, through Geor
gia’s greatest Tobacco fields where
.'ssoo acres are devoted to this big
money crop, now being harvested,
looking through curing houses, and
big tobacco warehou.vcs, through
wonderful sections of corn, tomatoes
cotton, etc,., it seems that prosper
ity is indeed coming to this great
county.
Coffee County indeed showed her
royal hospitality—breakfast at Doug
las dinner at Country Club, (refresh
ments at Ainbro e, Alma, Brohton,
and Nicholson. My! it takes about a
week to get ovc- the joys crowded
into one wonderful week.
The Kracker Country Club about
;$ miles from Douglas is one of the
inert beautiful and picturesque spots,
jvrroundod by a largo grove of oaks
and pines, fcstoc ned with Spanish
moss. litre we were served a deli
cious chicken dinner.
A delightful ride to Black shear,
where the Woman’s Club pave a re
ception to the editors in the mam
moth tobacco warehouse of Black
shear Manufacturing Company.
Mm. D. I>. Braeti'y, state president
of women’s clubs did much to make
the occasion a succe. 1.
WaycroKs our hostess city, beauti
fcl with palmettos, flowers, and
tropical plants, line home:-, great
business) renters, and railroad ah
tivities —your memories are delight
ful ones. •>
Through Way in County visiting
the towns of Sciwcn, Odum to Jesup,
wiuire a delicious barb ecu" dinner
was served 1 v the peopl:-’, among
them Mjf Will Grhiic* 5 , formerly of
this county, who now lives there, we
noticed fine crops on ••very hand.
An informal reception given bv
Mr. Clarke Snedcker, at his pecan
nursery wu> a happy event on our
return front Black n c r. Here we en
joyed a magnanimous offering of
the paper shell pecans, and delicious
grapes, products of this plantation. .
Wednesday, July 23, was spent on
Billy’s Island in the heart of the
Okefinokte Swamp, 35 miles from
Way-cross, with llebard Lumber Cos.
as our hosts. On flat cars operated
by this great Lumber Cos., through
miles of thickets, along bays and
bayous of blackest water, crossing
ihe Suwanee river, past sections of
cypress!, punt, pine and magnolias,
heavy with Topes of moss festooning
them, in sight of georgeous magnolias
and bay trees, with terrapins and
snakes creeping through the mud,
and millions of butterflies flitting a- j
bout, here and there in sight of a ■
gorgeous lake of water lilies, we ar- ;
rived at the island in time for the 1
bountiful barbecue dinner. An
interesting feature of the Okefeno- j
kee was the giant cypress plant in '
operation where giant machints rush
out into the swamp, swoop down
on a log, drag it to the side of the
track and with almost human skill
♦match it tip and lay it down on the
trucks. Hug* bundles of these cy
press lops are handltd by these der
ricks.
Throughout South Georgia \\t> r.o
tice a divc'i'i-ikcation of crt is, yet
no when oiij we see cotton that can :
compare with curs in this section. •
There are beautiful corn crops
throughout St uth Georgia, but they
tell u. t a 1 ■ s v o7ctables end melons
wore heavy los e? there being prac
tically no market for sane.
One of the happiest events of the
trip war the boat ri |! o to Fen ruin (li
