IA Summer Jaunt in Several
Chapters.
j If life lie u (It -ci., i's some have
said, and as utlici.i have Celt, it has its
oases that i ,r e g.-ccn and bright; it the
summer he long and hot, and T wc
pine for “a lodge in some vast w ilder-
ness,” it is one of the comforts modern
progresi bps brought, that wo can
steal away from the lien' 1 term and
rest under '‘some vast coiii'go'ty of
shade,” where even the memory of
d : scoinfoi t conifs softened by d-stn-icc
or mellowed by the thought that they
at lrst belong to borne. It was a bot
sultiy evening that iwtnessed my de
parture from Montgomc;/, on my
way to the moun'r •» of Noiili A'n-
bania. Montgomery, whatever else
may be said in i*s favor, is uudeuia-
bly a bot place, and I bade ad'eu to
its stree*. that ru.t the wrong way t >
catch the brei.;, with a feeling of
pleasure.
The shades of evening were clos'ug
around the world as we were whirled
away from the city,on the noth bound
limited tra : n on the I.. & N. road.
Hack in the west the clond.s bad
laid aside their golden robes, and in
the east n few fault stnrs were playing
at bide nud seek with the II- -cy clouds
that drifted lazily along.
I was bound for Huntsvi n u and
Monts >Snno, and the ride to Decatur
where I wps to change to the Mem
phis & Charleston roH, wr< unevent
ful one.
I decided that it wes too great a
strain on my physical system to at
tempt to squeeze 82 wortli of slrsp
into four hours, and so 1 chose the
worse alternative of Hying to crowd
the six feet, and two of my lougltu
diual proportions into a seat that
measured only three feet by two.
Birmingham, with itsfu>.mess that
glowed in the murky night like min
iature Iufernos, past mountains, over
valleys and across rivers the fast
speeding train, sped on its way, and
at 2 o’elock a. m. I crawled out at
Decatur as badly battered a specimen
ns one would care to see.
By 10 o’clock the same mm .ling
I was away to Huntsville, the road
running through to Tennessee Valley,
one of the loveliest in the world.
Away to the South the errs i of
mountaius peered into the sky, pud
their wooded slopes were suggestive
of the coolness for which I sought.
An hour after leaving Decatur I
was at Hunfst lilt*.
It is one of the qua'nt cities of the
south; for fifty years it lias been
noted for its wealth, refinement and
the high social stand, its clever citi
zens have taken. Nestled as it is in
the richest portion of the Tenncisee
Vnllcy, it has grown rich after the
methods of the old regime, and
though it is s.m rounded by boom
towns, it has never caught the infec
tion.
I did not tariy long •' i the city,
nnd half an hour after my arrival I
was oft for Monte Sano.
I had already caught glimpses of
the mountain, before I reached Hu a Ls-
villc, and when I disembarked from
the train, there it stosd before me, ns
if to overawe me, or rather perhaps,
seeking to woo me to its cool retren's.
I took the latter interpretation. A
standard gunge rai'roal hn been
built to its top, but I preferred a car
riage nnd the splendid turnpike road
that icaches the summit by a grade
that is not too steep for comfoi t.
An hour's drive brought me over
the four or five miles that lay between
the mountain nud tho city, nnd I dis
mounted at Monte Sano Hotel, which
crowns the summit of tho mountain.
No painter has ever succeeded in
transferring the beauties of a land
scape, or a sunset to canvas, ami no
word painter, however strong Ills pow
ers may lie, has ever put on paper the
glories hits brother artist has failed to
catch.
It is a revelation, full of surpassing
beauty to one accustomed to the m
iiotonous land-capes of Southern Geor
gia, to look at tiic panorama of beau
ty that spread out before me. A
thousand feet below me lay Hunts
ville nestled among trees, nnd the
turnpike road I had traveled winding
in nud out among the groves, For a
score of miles on either side of the
city, the level country, doited with
peaceful ann prosperous homes, with
roads nud hedges nnd woods, present
ed as charming a pastoral scene rs one
would wish for.
But I huve kept my render< waiting
too leng, perhaps, at the threshold, let
us enter the hotel. Mr. Harvey S.
Denison is the host, nnd to those that
knew him in Thomasville, it is unne
cessary to say more. Time lias dealt
most kindly with him, and while it
has not added much to his girth, it
lias made him all the more clever,
I believe it was Horace that said
that men of certain professions are
horn, not made;' whether the great
Latin poet had ever stopped at a
hotel history saitli not, or whether he
intended his epigrammatic utterance
to cover more tliau the one clris,
poets, that he mentions, I nm pro
foundly ignorant, hut I am guilty of
no discourtesy to his memory, when
I say that he ought to have included
hosts in his category. Mr. Dcuison
was bom a hotel keeper, and he finds
his highest pleasure in the comlort
of his guests.
He met me with a whoh soe'ed
welcome that will Pager in mcmoiy
when many other tl ,: -ig.s of more im
portance, seemingly, have fade! away.
The description of Monta Kano,
the hotel and a ride wc took ; n the
gloaming will be the next chapter in
this jaunt, and if its reading give half
as much pleasure as I derived from
what T saw nnd felt, Hull be more
than cont nit.
(.'apt. ('.I’. Hansel! spent vest :r-
day in Camilla.
Dr. M. it. Mnlleltc, of Boston, was
in the city yesterday afternoon.
C.ipt. Turner, who was in Dough
erty yesterday passed down the road
last evening.
About the most pleasant announce
ment we could make, would lie that
the cjiitract for the road from Tiftan
to Thomeivillc, had been let. Wc
expect to make this announcement
before many weeks.
Judge nnd Mrs. H. \V. Hopkins,
chaperoned n pleasant party down to
"Susiua” last week. Fish"ig by the
Ochlockoncc, games indoors and out,
made the time pass es pleasantly, as
though there were no world with its
carking cares, or ambitions and du
ties.
Mr. ft. W. Glailing, of the Monou
Route, is looking after pear shipments
to Western points. He received a
letter yesterday from C. H. Weaver
& Co., of Chicago, saying that Le
Conte pears were wanted in that
city. California fruit is high, and
other sorts out of the market.
Mr. W. E. Davies will leave
early next week for the west nud
north He goes in the interest of the
l’iney Woods Hotel aud Mitchell
House, nud to take n little ucedced
rest before the winter season opens.
The Southwest Gcorgiau sneaking
of the late game of brso hall here, be
tween Cairo and Thomasville, says :
“The boys express themselves under
obligations to Mcrsrs. McRae, Butler
and Dek'c, for kindness shown them.
The two teams will cross bats again at
an early day.
Mr. Max Steyerman, of London is
spending a few- days with his brothers
in this city. He has been a great
traveler, and is just finishing the cir
cuit of the world, he having gone to
Australia by way of the Cape of Good
Hope and the Indian Ocean, return
ing by way ol San Francisco and across
our continent. This is his first visit to
America and wc cherish the hope that
his impressions and experiences may
be altogether pleasant ones.
A Move in the Right Direction.
Mr. W, E. Davies appeared before
council yesterday nftnoon to support
a proposition that had been submit
ted to a committee at a previous
meeting. This proposition in sub
stance is ns follows: To issue 50000
folders containing 10 or more views
in and around the city with a con
cise description of the town and its
surroundings. Through advantages
possessed by Mr. Dnvies, and not
necessary to mention here, the cost to
the city for the edition named will
bej’only J8400. ItJJa nccdlosa^to’say
that the council accepted the proposi
tion and so our city wiU be known to
at least a pat . of the world. These
folders will be exquisite specimens of
of the printer’s and engraver’s art nud
will toll a pleasant stoiy of our city
to thousands of interested readers,
North. East and West.
Thomasville ought to mnke her
attractions known, for other resort
towns in the South with fewer iudncc-
ments to ofTer tourists have spread
their name and fame abroad.
Hence we have ca n ed this a move
in tho right direction. The thauks
of all our people are due Mr. Davies
for the splendid trade he made for
the town.
A Pleasant Meeting.
Mr. George F. McLean, of Charles
ton, passed through tho city yesterday
euroutc to Pensacola. Miss Minnie

years. Mr. Mclican wiU spend a few
days in our city on Ids return from
Pensacola.

The unity and success of the dem
ocratic party overshadows every other
issue. Tiic South must present an
unbroken front ags : nst the : ofamous
force hill; and shed do it.
There is a speck of blood on tho

The Tallahassee Northern.
As has been noted heretofore in
these columns, a move is on foot to
secure a northen outlet, by rail, from
Tallahassee, nnd from present indica
tions it seems that the road wi'l lie
built soon. The amount required to
build the road from Tallahassee to
Thomasville is 8500,000 of which Phil
adelphia capitalist have subscribed
$450,000. This leaves 850,000 to bo
raised by the people of Tnllahpscco
and along the lino between here nnd
Thomnsv :, le, for which they will re
ceive stock in the railroad, whioh w’ll,
without the least shadow of a doubt,
be profitable investment.
Books arc now open at the banking
establihment of G. W. Saxon & Co.,
for subscription, and everybody who
feels dispos'd to mnke an investment
that will pny handsome returns and
at the same time aid in securing tiic
buildingof this road, which is an abso
lute necessity to the material interest
of agriculture int his county, aro re
quested to call on Mr. Saxon and sub
scribe to tho stock.
We arc assured there will be no dal
lying about building the road. As
soon as tho money is all raised n
corps of engineers will be put to
work surveying the line, and as soon
ns this is completed grading will
commence, nnd the road will be com
mence, anil the road will be completed
and running on it in time to haul the
next fruit and vegtablo crop. Como
one, come all. Don’t stand bnck and
hold your money wbero it is paying
you nothing, but come forward, put
your money where it will bring you in
more money, nnd lets get th : s road
wh’le wc can.—Tallnhasscno.
Hatton Hits It-
Frank Hatton, one of »'ic nioit
prominent Republicans the in country
says of the for< s b'U :
“That measure was more needed a
dozen or fifteen years ago than it‘s to
day. Party feol'ug on the part of
Southerners was much more hitter then
than it is now. Ithri Ii in brought
up to-day simply to A" .her the ends
and aims of ortnin politicians, who
scein to sec in it fu' .her political ag
grandizement for themselvr i. It : s n
mistake to supj. jsc that a' 1 cx-Cinfed-
crates vote the Democratic ticket.
Why, when Mnhone ran for Governor
of Virginia, he re jived the votes of
40,000 ex Cinfi Jeratc sold ; eu. Tho
plain * -uth of the matter ; s simply
this: The negro vote is gett ; ng to be
a terrible big factor iu elections and
these nickel a-head politicians want to
make the most they can of it. But
this is not the way to break *'ic solid
South, for they’ll make it hereafter
more solid than it hr- ever hi »n be
fore. Democrats wont be ruled by
negroes—nor Republicans, cither, for
that matter.”
Mr. Hatton, you’ve got it down
about light.
The lease papers of the W. & A.
R. R. have been duly signrd.
Gallic Bush, the only white woman
in the Georgia penitentiary, commit
ted suicide the other day by drown
ing. She was an ignorant couutry girl,
and was serving a fifteen years sen
tence under the charge of being an
accomplice a murder committed in
North Georgia some three years ago.
