URGE TOURISTS
BOUND SOUTH CUT

Parties at and Near Darien Tell
Visitors to Take What Is
Known as Grant’s Ferry.
IT IS A DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST THIS FAIR CITY
Young Men’s Club and Board of
Trade Both Have Matter up
and an Effort Will Be Made to
Stop This Unfair Practice-
Is Unfair to the Tourists as
Well as to This City and
Sooner Stopped the* Better.
Persistent and reliable reports have
reached Brunswick to the effect that
parties at Darien and this side of it,
are directing tourists bound for Flor
ida and all points south, to cut eut
their always intended visit to this
city and while many are following thd
misleading instructions being given
then* by these parties, there are oth
ers who take them at their word and
take what is i known as th? Grant’s
Ferry road, which touches the Dixie
Highway at Old Sterling. By taking
this rout, automobiMsits will find that
the Grant’s Ferry road is in bad shape
and at times there is every chance of
spending hours in the woods.
The distance saved by taking the
road above referred to, is 23 miles,,
but the 6 I*2 miles on this route is in
anything but good repair and it would
be both more convenient and profit
able If tourists would cpme on to
Brunswick, which from Broadfield is
12 1-4 miles and then take the route
out Norwich street, taking the Dixie
Highway at Old 'Sterling. This 10

Young Men’s Club and,, If possible,
atop this discrimination against
Brunswick. In the first place those
who are giving directions as to Grant’s
Ferry road are aware of the fact that
they are deceiving Innocent parties,
taking away that which rightfully be

garage, etc., as well
As stated, the matter wll be taken
up at once by the city's commercial

will be some way to stop that which

Douglas, county seat of Coffee, one

sum offered by Receiver Bugg and

It Is reliably reported that other com

example of Douglas and raise sums
for the purpose of making the anpwnt
so large that it will be a great induce

Without the A.. R. A A. there are
many places which would be sorely
distressed as this Is their only line
and means of travel and shipping and,
it maybe true that there is another
line entering Douglas, the A.. B. A A.,
Is the principal one and it is on this
that the people depend. The fund
raised of one thousand dollars did not
stop those who are taking around a
