St. Augustine is a city of palacial
hotels—the finest not only in America
but in the world. Mr. Flagner owns
three of the largest, and to thispublie-
spitiled capitalist is due, in a large
measure, the development and prosper

Sunday, Oct. 13.—After a refreshing
night’s rest lwas up by peep o’ day to
explore the city before the hot sun rays
drove you iu floors.
I First visited the old fort Santa Marco,
but now known as Fort Marion. This
is the oldest fortification in the United
States, being commenced in 15*13, but
was not completed until 1750; although
it has stood for more .than three cen
turies sieges both to hostile hosts and
the elements,it is to-day in as good pres
ervation as when the last block of co
quina was laid.
Fort Marion is at the north end o'
city, and commands th e harbor. It is
garrisoned by one soldier, 'Eergonut
George M. Brown, who takes pleasure
in showing visitors through the fort.
The Sergeant had not gotten up w'hen
I knocked at bis cottage door, but soon
joined me. Admission is free. The
fort is a inasssive structure of coquina
stone, with moat and outwm ks cover
ing more than 22 acres. Tins moat in
old times, was filled with water, and
was crossed by two drawbridges.
Over the only entrance to the tort i.-
the (.'oat of Anus of Spain and an in
scription in Spanish, now legibly pre
served. You gain entrance through a
heavy folding dooor, iron bound. All
tlie doors in the fort are so constructed
that if a fire should destroy the srfWl
work an iron-barred grating would re
main. There Is still kept on one of
these doors an old Spanish wrought
iron : ock, that is Very strong and mas
sive. Within the fort is a court, sur
rounding which are 19 rooms with
light «n l nine dark chambers that
are loatiisome and gloomy in the ex-
treiriv. To the open rcom
which were used for mess purposes J y
the officers and soldiers, light is ad
mitted through a narrow window high
up near the arched ceiling. In one of
these rooms, where Spanish officers
held their courts, was imprisoned
Coacoochoe ami Oocola, two of the most
influential chiefs in the Seminole war of
1835. Coacoochoe, with another In
dian named Talmus Hadjo, decided to
escape, and from the sacks given them
to sleep on made a rope. Steps were
then eut in the hard wall with a knife,
and by mounting on his companion s
shoulder Coaeo* chec managed to reach
the narrow opening, but found he could
not. squeeze his body through it. The
two Indians then played oft' sick, and
refused to eatjfor three days,thus reduc-
ingtheir flesh ^sufficiently to permit a
passage of.tlieir bodies through the win
dow, which was accomplished one dark
night, and the prisoners safely escaped.
Afterwards Coaeoochee surrendered
and was sent to Arkansas. The gov
ernment now has iron bars across the
window, but the steps eut in the wall
by tho intrepid savage are still shown
to visitors. Hear this window a bearing
fig tree la growing out of the hard wa! s
some twenty feet from the ground.
This room was afterwards used as a
place of confinement for the refractory
Modoc and Nez Perees Indians, and
they have decorated the walls with
charcoal sketches of savage life, and
their representations of animals are ex"
CC One t * can spend days wandering
around the old fort and exploring its
chambers ami dungeons. Some of
them are aa dark as night, and the
guide has to earry a lamp. Orffe of
these rooms was accidentally discover
ed In 1839 by the wall needing repair,
The masonB founiTan interior chamber
that had been cemented up, and a story
gained circulation and credence that
two skeletons were found therein
chained to the wall. Sergeant Brown
pointed out to me the iron pins where
the alleged eliains were fastened, and
gays Mr. Plant, of Macon, Ga., saw the
bones. The guide book of St. Augus
tine, however, asserts that this room
was a magazine, which is a reasonable
supposition. We were shown the “Pen-
ance”chamber for the Spanish soldiers,
with the niches in the walls for images
and crosses. The knees of the multi
tude that sought forgiveness for sms
here have worn into the cemented floor,
We inspected the room where the In
quisition met, as also the ebaped, with
receptacle for images and holy water.
The ramparts to the fort wer
reached by an incline
plain, up which the large
sie<ve guns were drawn. Uncle bam *as
now built a broad set of cement steps
and is also making other improy e-
ments with an eye more to eorofoi
than romance. This is a favor ite 1 ecoi
for visitors, who at night have dances
where armed warriors once treat i an
the banners of England,Castile an ou
own stars and stripes in turn proudlj

ere are a number of old
and piles of shot. Before the war Fort
Marion was equipped with many fine
brass guns, some of them;32 feet long,
that eame from Spain. But the Con
federacy melted them up into field
pieces.
Iu the court is the largest and oldest
well in America, it is about 30 feel
deep, and the bottom clearly seen. The
water is inexhaustible, seeping in from
the harbor, and is both fresh anti sweet.
This old fort has been besieged sever-
1 tinis never taken. Gov.
Moore attached it in 1702, but was re
pulsed. In 1740 Oglethorpe bombarded
it for 40 days, ami the garrison and in
habitants were driven to the verge of
starvation before the British general
became discouraged and withdrew.
The,signs of the bombardment aie still
seen in the walls, that are newly patch
ed. I11 1065 the Bsiccanieers sacked and
burned the town, but the fort was then
iu an incomplete condition and the in
habitants fled to the swamps until the !
enemy had sailed.*
The fort is built of coquina, a forma- i
tiou made of sea shells,large quarries of ]

It is mi interesting study to be alone
upon three hoary old ramparts, with the
changes of three centuries beneath your
feet. In imagination you can people
again oltrejis—tbe bulwark of
Spain In tlie New World. Can see the
proud Castilian warrior in his coat of
mail, burnished with gold, and sur-
nmiiiLnlby a band of adventurous sol
diers as reckless and daring as himself,
iciaember those years of misery, when
Indian slave, Spanish convict and Eng
lish prisoners labored beneath the lash
of the driver and with burthen-mme
toil and suffering unspeakable budded
their very lives into these coquina bas
tions. Keplace the heavy iron grat
ings of easement and cell; send Lome
the clanging bolt and bar; listen to the
piteous pleading of husband for im
prisoned wifeaud of wife for imprisoned
busbaud, and bear the shutting
of the door upon manacled
wretches who will never emerge to
look upon the sun. Light again the
dim ihipel’s ever-burning lamp; re
store again the images, tlie holy water
and the altar cloth. Build anew the
scattered defenses; flood the meat,
raise the drawbridge,’ let fall the porte-
cullis; mount tbe guard; fling bravely,
out from ihe rampart tbe banner of
Castile, and let the artillery belch an
gry defiance of tiie hosts under tbe
Bed Cross. Look out with the famish
ing women and children over tbe bay
and beyond the camps of tbe enemy in
vain for tbe coming of a friendly fleet.
.Recall again those later years, when
soldiers of George the Third guarded
Fort Saint Marks and patriots languish
ing in its cells. And again see the*
proud Oceola in bis dark cell and watch
the heroic Coaeoochee slowly wasting
hi** flesh to eft’eet an escape.
This ancient old fortress is full of in
terest to the antiquarian and marks
them, and will continue to prepare for
them until the show opens on Novem
ber 12th.
Y»'e look forward to the opening day-
as the greatest day our city of Athens
has seen for a long time, and when Mr.
Gr.uly arises amid the cheers of thous
amis of people and bids them welcome
to the Fair, everything will move off
easily and gracefully to the grandest
success ever experienued of its kind in
Athens.
The directors of the Fair are untiring
in their efforts to make the Fair wliat
the occasion will warrant—one of unal
loyed bliss and pleasure for all. They
j are adding some new feature to the pro-
J gram each day. They intend to con-
i tiuue this u"-til the last hour,and will be
ready with the grandest feast of fun
<*\ cr enjoyed by the people of North
e ist Georgia when tlie Fair opens
The racers will be the finest on the
American turf, and the baseball games
will be as good as have ever been seen
in Georgia.
'The college boys will give athletic
performances that will be. of great in
tcrest to everybody present, and thous
ands ofgother amusements will bold the
spectators spell bound during the whole
four day’s show.
The balloon ascension itself will
worth more than tlie admission price
into tbe Fair and will electrify the
spectators with its wonderful daring

The Alliance Day will be well "worth
seeing. It will bring together the
grandest mu«ter of Alliaueeraen ever

farmers will make it one of the greatest
days of tlie Fair.
In fact everybody is moving alon

A true extract from minutes of Clarke
Superior court. C. D. Vincent,
Oct. 14, 1889. Clerk.
A whole medicine chest iu your pocket,
with one box of Ayer’s I’ills. As they
operate directly on tlie stomach and
bo'.veU. they indirectly affect every
other organ of the hotly. When the
stomach is out of order, .he head is
affected, digestion fails, the blood be
comes impoverished, and you fall as
easy victim to any prevalent disease.
Miss M. E. Boyle, of Wilkesbarre, Pa.,
puts tlie whole truth iu a nutshell,'when
she says: ** I use no other medicine
than Ayer's Pills. They are all that
any one needs, aud just splendid to save
money iu doctors’ bills.”
Here is an instance of
A Physician
who lost Ids medicine cliest, but, having
at hand a bottle of Ayer’s Pills, found
himself fully equipped.—J. Arrison,
M. D., of San Jos6, Cal., writes:
“ Some three years ago, by the merest
accident, I was forced, so to speak,
to prescribe Ayer’s Cathartic Pills for
several sic] men among a party of engi
neers in the Siei.-a Nevada mountains,
my medicine chest having been lost in
crossing a mountain torrent. I was
surprised and delighted at the action of
the Pills, so much so, indeed, that I was
led to a further trial of them, as well as
of your Cherry Pectoral and Sarsapa
rilla. I have nothing but praise to offer
in their favor.”
John W. Brown, M. D., of Oceana,
W. Va., writes: “ I prescribe Ayer’s Pills
ln my practice, anil find them excellent.
I urge their general use in families.”
T. E. Hastings, M. D., of Baltimore,
Md., writes: “ That Ayer’s Pills do con
trol and ciwe the complaints for which
they are designed,’ is as conclusively
proven to me as anything possibly can be.
They are the best cathartic and aperi-
eut within the reach of the profession.”
