We arrived in the city upon schedule time and went immediately, in company with Mr. Gordon Jordan, out to the Agricultural College, arriving in due time we were ushered into the private office of the principal, Prof. J.M. Collum, than whom there is no more affable and thorough bred gentleman. We were shown through the buildings by Prof. Collum until the dinner hour, when we retired to the spacious dining hall and partook heartily of the substantials calculated to satisfy and regal the innerman. Here we met Capt. C.L. Peacock, Prof. Cunningham, Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Gresham and charming daughter, Miss Atta Bell, and many others. After having did awful justice to the bountiful dinner, the Principal Hon. J.M. Collum, and I took a stroll over the adjacent grounds and buildings. We were shown many tools made by the students, but the one that gave us the greatest surprise, was as fine a razor as any gentleman might be proud to possess. Mr. Collum informed us that he had just shaven with it that morning and he looked as slick as a peeled onion. In the course of our stroll over the buildings we were shown into the largest, best planned and furnished auditorium that has ever been our pleasure to enter. Prof. Collum went into detail explaining the past, present and future work of the institution. The building is situated upon a moderate elevation, the grounds are laid out regularly and after a beautiful and artistic pattern, it is surrounded by broad fields of fertile lands. The college stands about one-eighth of a mile east of the S. & L. Railroad. By early autumn they will have the electric railway completed out to the institution, then it will be easier of access. We had but about 3 hours to spend and were hurried through, so about 2:15 we bade our host and hostess an adieu and made our way back to the C. of Ga. Depot, boarded our train and was soon speeding our journey homeward, arriving at Doyle on schedule time we disembarked, knowing we had spent the day pleasantly, believing it was profitable, we winded our way up dusty Cotton Avenue, arriving at our domicile feeling wiser, younger and better, all to the credit of our first trip on the sly to the city of Americus.
