"Breathes there a girl with soul so dead, Who never to herself has said, I want to see New York City.” Ever since we first took up the study of geography we have heard continuously of the joys and glories, the pleasures and follies, the scenes and sights of America’s greatest sightseeing resort, the beautiful New York City. Ever since we can remember. the most of us have had a longing and a desire to, see this wonderful place, but have been kept from it by the well founded reports that it is only a rest for the very wealthy. The Democrat, however, has formed a plan by which three young ladies are going to see this glorious sightseeing resort without a cent of expense to themselves. All that it will take for any young lady to go on this outing of pleasure is a little effort in behalf of The Democrat for a few short weeks. In keeping pace with the remarkable growth of The Democrat the management has decided to enter upon its first real out-of-the-ordinary enterprise.

It has decided that Jasper county shall be represented thisryear in the greatest of all the natjpn’s cities. People flock to New r York City, greatest of all sightseeing resorts from all over the world. Meetings, conventions, public; gatherings; myriads of theatrical offerings during these mouths throng the greatest city with, thousands of jolly guests for whom entertainment and fetes of a hundred different kinds ate planned and promulgated. Representatives from almost every city on the globe will be there and it is the intention of The Democrat that this year our own county shall he represented too, in a manner that will be a credit to the city. Jasper county’s representatives will be three of the prettiest and most popular girls to be found in the city and county. The young ladies will form a delegation as the representatives of this county to these most gorgeous of all American fetes and throughout the entire trip as well as the delightful outing on the coast they will be the guests of The Democrat. Every expense will he borne by the management of this paper. After considerable forethought on the part of the management, this most famous of all the world’s sight-seeing resorts has been selected as the one place, w*hich would prove the most delightful for an outing for The Democrat girls. Situated as it is, overlooking the majestic Atlantic, it s the one ideal resort, not only for the pleasure seeking American but also for his English speaking cousins across the w*a-

tens. Ihe time selected for our young women to take the tour will see the height of the season at this, gayest of all amusement places. The Route. Everything that can possibly be added to the many pleasures of its honored guests is being arranged by the management, both for the elegant trip and the delightful outing. Even the route over which the young ladies will travel is being carefully selected and the delegation may rest assured that the one possessing the greatest amount of scenic beauty and natural scenery will be chosen. On the way to the coast visits will be made to Washington, D. C„ the nation’s capital, which will afford the young ladies an excellent opportunity of taking in this beautiful city, the pride of the United States. This feature in

itself is an assurance of an instructive as well as a delightful outing. And not only these points of interest will be included in the itinerary, but two more of the nation’s greatest cities will be visited, namely, Baltimore and Philadelphia, the Quaker City. ’ t New York City. New York City is the greatest city in all America, with its marvelous Bronx, its famous Bowery, its greatest wharfs, its stupendous skyscrapers, its grand old Broadway, it stands unequaled in all the world as a sightseeing re* sort.

This foremost of all American cities cannot be described in mere words; its grandeur, its vastness, its magnificence beggars description, and it is the one point in all the world that every loyal citizen of this great country is attracted to marvel at its greatness. A Premier Outing. It would be hard to imagine a more enjoyable outing than the tour of the east and the visit in -New York City, the greatest of all resorts. All through the east it is the custom of nearly every city of any importance to send delegations as their representatives to the festivities attending the height of the fashionable season. The festivities stand unparalleled in the annals of the world as the greatest and most imposing the human hand and human brain can conceive. Beautiful New York City has been called and justly so, the playground of all America, and it is with a feeling of great pleasure that I'lie Democrat offers an outing to such a noted place. Nature has excelled herself in decorating this charming city, and added to this the expenditure of thousands and thousands of dollars, as .has been said hv one of our greatest poets “In all the world no place is like this.”

The delegation of three young ladies will go as the official representatives of Jasper county to the world’s festivities, attending the height of the season. And every cent of the expense of sending the delegation on this delightful tour will be paid by the manageemnt of The Democrat. It will indeed be an honor that is not offered to many young laflies once in a life time to represent a county of this size at such an event.

Selection of Delegates. Ihe Democrat 'has ,not decided upon the names of the young women whq will act as delegates from this county, but intends to leave the selection entirely to the people of this county.
