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 McLean, who has been in our city with Miss Kate Col 1 'os, for the past two years, met her brother at the de pot. It was their lirst meeting in two years. Mr. Mclican wiU spend a few days in our city on Ids return from Pensacola. Base Ball To-day. The Thomasville ami Cairo teams will again cross bats to-day.

Turner, Charley Crisp is safe. A majotity of delegates have been instructed for him. 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 moon : Somebody on the Constitu tion, calls somebody on the Telegraph a liar. The weather is too hot, gen tlemen, far a fuss.

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. ~ SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU R.
