The statement that Florida claims
to receive over (7,000,000 a year
from Northern tourists has called
forth some interesting comment in
that connection. And besides,
it is opening the eyes of other sec
tions of the South to the importance
of securing some of the solid ben ?
fits resulting from this travel.
As to our city, we have time and
again urged that Newnan could as
easily as not reap a rich harvest in
this way by ocaking the proper ef
fort. So long as we rsmain inactive,
we forego voluntarily a rich harvest
of profit which other communities
not so admirably situated are smart
enough to take in.
On this subject we find in theJfa»'
ufacturert’ Record a very sug
gestive article, from which we
quote: “There are many thousands
of Northerners who would prefer a
dry, bracing air, with a moderate
degree of coldness to the warm cli
mate of „FIorida, and yet they do
not know where to flud this in the
South, simply because Southern
people have lailea to make known
the beauties of their climate, and to
build hotels suitable lor winter busi
ness.
Florida will always have its full
measure of winter visitors, and its
attractions are sure to draw a stedi-
ly increasing number, but lor those
wno do not care for Florida the ad
vantages of tne up-country ought to
be more widely made known. It
will do no good, however, to seek to
draw visitors until the pioper hotel
accommodations are provided.
People w ho can affora to spend their
winters South can generally afford
to enjoy some o! tne luxuries of life,'
and tney will not, except in rare
cases, put up with inferior hotels.
With the rapid growth rf popula
tion and wealtn tnrougn (he coun
try, tne number ot winter visitors
at the South will enormously in
crease. It >s only within the Iasi
few years loat it has become so pop
ular to spend ihe winter in tne
ooutn, and this is sure to increaae,so
that in a comparatively few years
the number of winter visitors will
now have. Aiken is an illustration
of what can be done in dozens of
other places when some enterpris
ing corporation will undertake
the work of Duildiug suitable ho
tels, and ttiurougbly advertising
them. The time will come, aud we
believe is not very far distant, when
a million people will annually leave
the West aud North to enjoy the
pleasures of a winter in the South.
If these figures seem large, let it be
remembered that we nave an im
mense population in this country,
that there is only one Soutn to
wnich tnuse desiring to escape
Nortnern winters ca^ go without
crossing me Ytlantic, and then re
member how rapidly the number
of those who can afford this pleas
ure is increasing, and how popular
it is becoming to “go South.”

to this test, each candidate virtual

is not legally binding, we hold that
it is ot political and moral force,
and we regret to see one whom we
esteem so highly as we do Mr. Shel
nutt taxing a course which is con
tradictory to this principle.
As the Herald has more than
once before said, it is a matter of
vital importance to the interests of
this county that the Democracy
should be thoroughly organized.
Th<s is well understood by those
who reflect a moment on the situ
ation. However much one may
prefer Mr. Shelnutt personally, we
believe it important to lay aside
thin preference in the interest ot
party harmony.

replied that he did not know, bat
that he was going to hunt him a
wife. He took in the country as he
came to it inqniring at almost

there that wanted to get marred.

Editor Heraldj—I was on a
grand round last week. I -visited
tbe upper part of the county inthe
neighborhood of Mr. H. P. Arnold,
where ihinga seemed to be on a
boom. That good old man, Uncle
Hugh, is determined to keep pace
with the best, lor he is just as busy
as a bee all the time.
I also was at Mr. John Sims’, and
saw somoof the best cotton land in
Georgia, In my opinion. He has
abont fifty acres of it in cultivation.
It was my good fortune to. spend,
a night with Mr.Thos. B. Parks, bat
sis 1 have never made it a rule to
write up families I feel like it would
be out of place to do so now. 8uf-
flee it to say I am glad that I stop
ped.
From there I made way to Luth-
ersville, where , I met some; old,
friends and I hope made some new
ones. :
Don’t mistake me, I was not
electioneering, as the recent custom
was, but nad the pleasure of seeing
a portion ot that very fine farm of
the late Wm. Hindsman which has
been divided among the poor and
needy, that is, according to Josh
Billings’ definition of poverty, “He
that is rich and wants more is
poor.”
At a late hour Saturday evening
I turned my long nose homeward
and just as the moon sank behind
the western horizon I drove up to
the widow Vaopelt’s gate, found all
well,but was ur A with the sad news
of the death of our neighbor and
tr.emL-Mrs. J.C. Stallings, nee Miss
Ada Bird, who died rather sudden
ly about 2 o’clock, leaving an infant
son only a few hours old and three
other children. As'-the cyclone de

bat have reason to believe that she
was upwards of thirty years old
and had been a member of the Bap
tist church at Bethel for more than
half that time and was loved by al
who knew her. A large concourse
ol'relatives and friends assembled
at Bethel church Sunday morning
te pay the last tribute of respect to
the flesh. The exercises began by
singing that sweet song:
• “Jesus lover of my soul
Let me to Thy bosom fly.”
Which .melted a large portion of
the congregation to tears. After
the Ringing Rev. F. J. Amis read a
collection of appropriate Scriptures
and-When he reached the portion
Which says, “When my father and
ray mother forsake me, then the
Lord will take me up,” he welled
npand paused for a moment, which
canned others to notice the appro
priateness of tne Scripture. The
text was,“For me to live is Christ,
and to die is gain.” The sermon
was - appropriate. The remains
were laid to rest in the cemetery
beside her sister who preceded her
a few years.
In-behalf of our community we

Mr. Editor, your article of last
week against the re-opening of the
liquor traffic was timely and tothe
poiut. It will never do to open
again the floodgate of such
an evil. No man who loves his
neighbor, his wife, children, church,
or state can think for one moment
of doing co. ’Tis enough to bring a
blush to any man’s cheek, who
could desire, or would advocate the
establishment of liquor shops in
our county, after wimes-dng the
happj* results for the las:- two years. .

Some of my best friends have ap-
proched me on the subject of my
signing the petition for a re-elec
tion on the prohibition or liquor
law. I (fid not sign said petition
with any thought of barrooms and
doggeries being again inaugurated
in the county. I am opposed to ail
such, but I tnink the present pro
hibition law needs some amend
ments. I think if the county is to
sent to the Dead Letter Office.
