of the Star from enjoying the full bene¬

doubt commend it to the tender consider¬

A NIGIlT IN MACON,
On Monday afternoon, the 16th ult., we
left Covington by the west bound passen¬
ger train, to attend the special meeting of
the Georgia Press Association, which was
held at Cambridge, on Wednesday, the
18th. We arrived at Macon at

FOUR HOURS AT ALBANY.
Before reaching Albany, we were met
by a committee of citizens from that place
who tendered us the hospitality of their
city, and when we arrived at the station,
we found carriages
waiting to carry the whole yarty
to the hotel. We .stopped at the Artesian
House, and after a few minutes for rest
and social intercourse with the citizens,
who had collected in large numbers to
meet us, the carriages were brought to the
door and a drive of two hours about their
beautiful city was enjoyei. We visited
the various artesian wells, of which there
are six, and drank of their clear and ex¬
cellent water. The water of all the wells
is tinctured with mineral, and their cura¬
tive properties are said to be mo?t rein; r
kable, and we were tow that many won
derful cures of chronic diseases had been
effected by drinking them. At three
o’clock we returned to the hotel, where an
elegant dinner was waiting, which had
been prepared especially for us. Here ad¬
dresses of welcome were made by some
of the leading citizens, and. were
responded to by the talking members
the press.
Albany is a city of aoout 4,500 inhabi¬
tants, and is one of the most enterprising
and progressive towns in Southern Geor¬
gia. She is known as the Artesian City,
from these wells having proven such a suc¬
cess. She receives something like 30,000
bales of cotton each year, and lias a large
and prosperous trade with an extensive
and thrifty section of country. She sup¬
ports two daily newspapers, and her citi¬
zens are intelligent and enterprising, and
they take the greatest pleasure in discours¬
ing upon the wonderful curative proper
tics of their clear -and sparkling artesian
water. She has a great prize in these
wells, and they are certain to bring Iter
into prominence at an early day. With¬
al, the outlook for Albany is very encour¬
aging for her generous nud public spirited
citizens, and we feel sure she will 0 ued. 1 v
become-one of the great and important
inland cities in Georgia.
THOMASVILLM, THE PIXY WOODS (TIT.
Leaving Albany at 4 o'clock, we arrived |
at the beautiful Tiny Woods City oflhoni
asville, at 7 o’clock. Here we fell under
the care of good clever Uncle John Triplett
Col. C. I*. Hausen, Col. Winic; - , and oth¬
ers of the reception committee, who very
■man Intd ns all comfortably provided with
homes for the night. It was the writer’.- I
good fortu ie to be entertained at the ho .--1
pilable and elegant -Lome of Mr . Pine in,
whose interesting family is blessed with
ill the charms of wealth, culture and re
linemen!. To them we are greatly indebt¬
ed for our generous and hospitable enter¬
tainment while ia the ‘‘I’inv Woods City.’'
A grand ball and reception was tender¬
ed the press at the Tiny Woods hotel, and
was participated in by many ef the youn¬
ger members.
ThomasviHe is one of Hie most thrifty
and [vo porous looking towns in Southern
Georgia. It is a beautiful p!ac •, with broad
and level avenues and streets, each of
which is lined w iih handsome and tasty
lesidences and beautiful flower gardens. It
has a imputation of about 4,000, and is rap¬
idly growing famous as a winter resort for
northern and north-western health and
pleasure seekers. It.has eight or ten ho¬
tels, as many livery stables, two good
newspapers, a bank, and many large stores
that do a prosperous and thrifty trade.—
But the great pride of Thoinasville is tier
splendid hotel accommodations for her
winter visitors ; and, in this one particular,
but few southern cities can equal her in
the number and elegance of her hotels.
THE PINY WOODS HOTEL
is a handsomely finished building, of the
most unique modern design. It is large
and commodious, and capable of accom¬
modating 300 guest*. It was only opened
recently, and yet it is crowded with north
ern visitors, who nre still lingering in the
balmy climate of the pirty woods, until
the snow and ice are ■cited sway at their
own homes. The inside of the building
is finished throughout with natural pine,
which cannot he excelled for beauty and
durability. The hotel is owned by a joint
stock company *f citizens of Thoinasville,
and the building and furiture, w* learned,
cost about $ 1 30,<H)d}
THE NEW MITCHELL HOUSE,
R a handsome, three-storv brick building,
erected upon the site of the old one, which
was burned last. year. It is now nearly
complete, and will he opened to the pub¬

It is Ian?# and commodious, and wil) ae
commodate something over 300 guests—
The lull capacity of idl the hotels and
boarding ed! houses of Thonuisville, we learn¬
vas about fifteen hundred persons.—
The fact is, her citizens talk, work and
pull altogether for Thoinasville, and that
spirit of appreciation and enterprise is
what is building her tip.

About nine o’clock, Wednesday morning, our
party, which-now numbered over one hundred
persons, left on a special train for Bainbridge. —
We arrived there between 11 and 12 , and were
met by a committee of citizens, with carriages,
and were at once conveyed to the hotel.

A DINNER that WAS A FEAST.
At four o’clock dinner was announced at the
Sharon house, and the party were soon all sea*-
e i at the bountifully supplied tables, which fair i
ly groaned with the weight of good thing'-. It was
a feast in fact, and it is seldom in a life time a per¬
son sees the like if it. Nothing could surpass it
save the generous hospitality of the citizens who
pro^prcd it.
A RIDE ABOUT TUB CITY.
When dinner was over, carriages were brought
to the door, and a delightful ride about the city
was enjoyed.

A WORD ABOUT BAIN BRIDGE,
The town is beautifully situated < n the Flint
river, which is navigable for some distance above.
Her streets arc lined with large water oaks which
literally form an arch in many places, She is
known as the Oik City,
Bainbridge is an old town, ami het citizens
are cultured and hospitable. She is located in
the midst of a fertile region, hut like many oth¬
er desirable sections of oijir state, her labor is
unreliable, and her broad fields have lost much
of their profitable productiveness. Bainbridge
enjoys a good trade from the surrounding coun¬
try. She has communication by water and rail
with the outside world, and does an immense
export trade in lumber. She luxuriates upon the
finest fish and oysters to be found on our south¬
ern sea coast.
OFF TO THE EXPOSITION.
At 11 o’clock r. M. we hoarded our special
train, and were off for the New Orleans exposi¬
tion, hearing with us the kindest and best wishes
for the generous and truly hospitality citizens of
Bainbridge. Thursday morning we passed Lake
DeFuniak, in Florida, a beautiful and clear little
lake, but situated in a barren and thriftless sec¬
tion. It has many handsome and palatial res¬
idences built upon its borders, and the [dace is
called the Southern Chatauqua.
BREAKFAST AT PENSACOLA, FLORIDA.
It was about 9 o’clock, Thursday morning,
when we reached Pensacola, Florida, where we
stopped for breakfast. The hotel is several r
blocks away from the station, and a delay of over
one hour was caused by the stop for breakfast.—
By the courtesy of the railway officials, the train
was hacked down to the wharf, where an excel¬
lent view of the hay was had, as well as the
large vessels, streamers and small craft of
kinds. It was an interesting sight, especially
the middle and upper Georgia editors and the
