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.

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.
