The second will follow next week.) J" A visit to the Century of Prog re&s, Chicago's World Fair, cele brating its hundredth anniver sary, that is being staged on the lake front of the immense Lake 6 Michigan immediately adjoining/ the metropolis 6T' Chicago thlr- ? year, is a great desire and ambi tion of practically every person of America. And, a small party from The Franklin Times were lucky enough to be allowed to realize their desire in being aihong the large number from the North and South Carolina Press Associations who left AshevlUe Monday night, June 19tb, on a special train for a week's trip to Chicago and a visit to the * Fair. Naturally our small party had to make a beginning on this wonderful trip of great interest and education, and even excite ment, at times. So, we started off from home at 11:30 Sunday night with five packed in a coupe headed for Franklinton to take that fast train at 1:55 a. m. We would have gone in a * larger car but Just before leaving home we found that the fan belt oh the large car was gone, there fore our trip began with the fun of a small coupe full of excited folks starting out on some real adventure. Only four of the party continued on the whole trip, for the fifth one had to bring the carback home. Now the trip was begun, and there was no backing out 'cause you were^tired.jtf. alcrpr, ? ? ? "TwnTSve me, everyone of us were due for more tiredness and sleepiness than that we started with before we ever reached the main party. We rode that "fast" train from 1:55 Monday morn ing until we arrived at R other fordton at about 3 p. m., with only one stop which was just long enough for us to* get break fast in Monroe at a cafe just back of the station, and it was there that some fun began* We had ? -= Increased our .party of -four to five now, having made the ac quaintance of another of the ad venturers after passing Sanford. Now our party consisted of four ladles and one young man. We all r entered ttye . cafe together, and speaking of attention, we got it. Apparently one would think that women were mighty infrequent 1 visitors to this cafe. But we were already there and knew of no other place to go, especially since time was short, so we re - mained and made the best of It :*:in a very jolly and humorous ? manner. a In a tew minutes our briet o breakfast was over and aboard e the next train we climbed. Again o the journey started. But what 0 had become of our fast train? I s think the one we had just chang - ed to carry us from Monroe through Charlotte to Rutherford - ton was a special sightseeing - train for its rate of speed cer s tainly afforded one of the most 1 splendid opportunities of seeing I everything It passed. > But fortunate enough, we were I all supposed to be representing ' - the newspaper Held and since the ? public haB such a varied opinion f of newspaper folks and make all ? kinds of allowances for them, we ? proceeded to take full advantage i of this, and made- ourselves com ? fortable and entertained ourselves 1 to our best ability with our sur ? roundlngs. Nearly a full daj; ? was spent like this. We arrived at Rutherfordton at about S o'clock In the afternoon (and ! the station la an awful Jong ways ; from the town); but again wa ? were lucky, for Mr. Ptie% the one : in charge of the NocJfc. Carolina ? bunch, and who la editor ot the i paper at Rutherfordts*, had a ? taxi waiting for We were 1 taken to greet M>. Price first, i then to a late dfttner. and, to a i home to rest until the contlnu i ance of our trip at S p. m., when we were to take cars to Ashe vllle. That rest was certainly, , needed tor it seemed as If wa had been riding on the train tor two or three day* instead ot Just one. And It sounded so good when Mr. Price said that It we ? went to a certain woman's home I that she would let us have m . room to rest in and freshen and ; tidy up a bit until time to leave. , Oh, but some other folk* were there "resting too", in the par , lor, and in we were ushered ta . enjoy friendly Chat and reet. Of, . course, thoagh we were eerta&tfJt , grateful for this mack, bat tfcoaa \ chair* were different from bede, . that we thougfct wonld feel to , good to oar tired and weary boaee. 1 Bat. although that is all trna t* I ?>?
