Yesterday, by invitation of Mayor
Hopkins, the public took advantage
of New Years day to drive around the
completed boulevard. It was
as you please” affair. Every team
and vehicle, and saddle horse in the
place, was brought into requisition.
The reporter, with Mayor Hopkins,
behind hishigh stepping pair of grays,
left town at 2 o’clock sharp. Driving
out the Tallahassee road to “Elsoma,
the handsome country home of Mr.
J. Wyman Jones, we took to the
right and went sweeping along at
rattling good gait, over the evenly
graded drive, in the direction of Col
McIntyre’s. That place is passed and
then the outskirts of “Greenwood”
are passed, and on we go Tsver 'm
lately completed section of the boule
vard. The new portion, f^m the
Jones bridge road around to Mr.
Sanford’s, is in a more complete con
dition than we expected io find
There are some beautiful stretches
and drivm on this portion. Marshal
Spair and Mr. Ward havo made
rough places smooth, and made good
drives through places which looked
like they were impassable. There
were ample signs that the new drive
is already-being liberally used. Vis
itors and others will find a spin
around this magnificent drive
pleasant morning’s or afternoon’s pas
time. It sweeps by farm houses, or
chords, fields and forests, embracing
a great variety of scenery. There is
not a finer drive in the South.' The
road bed is smooth and clastic,
sand, and with just enough slopes to
make it comfortable for teams-.
By the way, it may not bo uninter
esting to state that we made the com
plete circuit of thirteen miles In one
hour and thirty-six minutes.
We congratulate the town and the
adjacent country upon the final com'
plqtiQn of this magnificent drive.
Drive Dots.
Marshal Spair is as proud of the
boulevard, as a boy of his first pair of
boots.
It was a matter of general regret
that Mr. Sanford, who first conceived
the idea of the circlular drive around
the town, was not able to go aroand
with the party.
’Fed,” the faithful driver of the
road machine team was out to
how his work looked,
There was some nobby turnouts
seen.
The weather looked a little threat
ening, and so many turned in at
some of the numerous drives leading
into town. There are thirteen of
these drives, averaging one to the
mile.
Some very graceful equestriennes
abided attractions to tho cavalcade.
Mr. 8. L. Hayes probably drove
the only pair of Thomas county raised
horses. And they went along, too.
No team passed the Mayor’s grays.
They are goers.
The Hussars, in command of. Capt.
McLean, was a prominent feature.
They were in full uniform, handsome
ly mounted, and accompanied by their
Spensor and Maids of Honor.
A Story About Morphia Injection.
“The best story I ever heard illus
trating the effects of a morphia injeo-
tion was told to me to-day,” said
Health Officer Duffield to a Detroit
Free Press reporter. “A doctor was
driving along a country road whon he
came upon on aged colored man
who was “endeavoring to persuade a
ftalky mulo~to proceed on its jour
ney with a wagon-load of wood. The
old man appealed to the physician to
prescribe something that wonld start
the obdurate quadruped. The doctor
leaped from his buggy with a small
syringe in his hand, plunged it into
the mulfe’s side, and injected a quanti
ty of morphia. The long-eared ani
mal gave a prolonged bray, threw his
heels in the air and started down the
road with the speed of a cyclone.
The negro’s eyes protruded as.be
gazed after the flying mule.
“ ‘How much ob dat stuff did yo*
put in him, boss?’ he asked.
“ *0h,’ replied the doctor, laughing,
about 10 cents’ worth.”
“ ‘Well, den, put 20 cents’ wof into
me right quick. Yere’s yer money.
I’sgot ter ketch dat mule/”
