If the rea’e • of Th: Sun cculd
see me as I ai» siiun rd this lovely
ift-moon they w uIJ certainly envy!
me the <haice tln.t caused me to;
-pend Sunday at this point. I sit« n i
a b oad piaz’.a fm-iiig th gie.it At
lantic. A d-hgh ful se i b. eze is
blowing, and tliu bi; wares b.eak
within a few yuidn of the hotel O.
the j-orcLes aboie and be i>v, tLe
sounds of m y voices remind me i
of the |He»«n.e of a oscot beautiful;
w« men who aie eu uuietiug at this
.eao.t. Whi eon this In el m y Buy
that the yuiitig m ise, hero as a party
I are by all odds tie bes .ooking ag
-1 gregutiou it has been my good hick
j to meet on the whole tour.
. The Georgia Weekly Press Associ-I
ation, as a member ot which it was,
my privilege to make this Florida
trip, broke ranks at St Augustine
and Palatka; hence another emal
sized editor aud myself are the sole
representatives of the Georgia Press
yet on the Eastern coast. We are in
charge of a priuce of good fellows,
Mr. Jesse E. Bui to of the Palatka
Star, and the trio are having a royai
good time. Be it remembered that
■ there are about fifty ladies to a dozen
gentlemen here, aud tbe fact that
Georgia editors are an acceptable in
novation is not surprising. The surf
is better here than at any place we
have touched, not even excepting
Cumberland. The sensation of the
first surf-bath is a delightful expe
rience, as I found out on yesterday.
QuLe a number of our boys tried it
at St. Simon’s Island, the first beach
we struck. Editorial “pipestems’
were thick in the surf at Cumber
land also, but I resisted tbe tempta
tion until yesterday, and have just
realized the fun I have been missing.
Two young ladies challenged me
to “go in” with them at St. Si
mon’s, but I, with the characteristic
newspaper man’s timidity (?) blush*
ingly begged to be excused. I kept
thinking I’d wait and get “the bang"
of the business before exposing my
verdancy to so largo an audience.
But I’m doing better now, and to
get my Sunday morning bath I sum
jßOged cheek enough_ to _ run the
gauntlet of a hundred bright eyes
and make for the water attired in a
much abbreviated regulation bathing
suit, and all by my little self.
Conventional foimility is at a
great discount Le.e, as at all water
ing places, and all go iu for comfort
and ease aim a good rime. One can
become belter acquainted aith i.
stranger on the beaeo in live minutes I
than he could in five weeks under j
ordinary ciicumstancee —that is, if |
tbe said new aquaintam-e in a clevei
yontig lady.
ORSIO D-BY-TBE—SEA
(it takes it all to make the name) is
frequented by the highest class of
society exclusively, in which respect
it differs from a great many water
ing places. The Coquina Hotel is
open the year 'round and is always
full Here, now, are guests from
many states, as well as a party of
distinguished subjects of Queeu Vic
toria. Tbe cuisine is superb, and my
appetitq is equal to tbe occasion.
By-the-way, 1 have failed to eat of
all that was set before me only once
since I left home, and that was al
Brunswick when I ordered poached
eggs. The waiter brought an omel
ette instead, aud when I inquired
the reason why, be whisp* red con
fidingly : “I tell yer, boas, de sigs
we hez down jer is not in fitten con
dition to peach."
This morning we had turtle eggs
for breakfast. Yesterday I saw a
peck which were taken from one nest.
The largest turtle I’ve seen weighed
more than 350 pounds, but he was
considered rather “frying-size” by
the young man who caught him.
Turtle bunting is quite a popular
sport, and is indulged in by parties
of ladies and gentlemen on moon
light nights. Unfortunately the
nights aie dark now, so I must forego
that pleasure pro tempore.
As 1 write tbeie are a number of
bicyclists spinning along the beach
like tbe wind. The sand stretches
unbroken for miles and miles in
either direction, hard and smooth as
tbe finest race track, dotted bere and
there with pleasure' parties on foot
and in vehicles. The ocean is rough
and the roar is like a terrible storm.
Great white waves, like drifts of
snow, roll over and into each other,
the sport M tbe winds.
About two hours ago, at 4 o’clock,
the guests en masse went down for
the afternoon bath. Your scribe re
mained in just a little too long, and
eream has already been in de-
Os eourse the sun is hotter here
than in Georgia, but I haven’t been
oat ot reach of a see breeze sines
crossing tbe border, and have suffer
ed less from the heat than at home.
My person carries the mark of but
two mosquito bites, so far, and I
have not seen a half dozen. \

A Californian writes: “A few years
ago I was stopping over at a hotel
at Redding in the upper Sacramento.
A rancher came along with as flue /
lot of watermelons as I ever saw and
stated that every one of them mcf
seedless. The landlord bought some
and served them for dinner. They
were as goed melons as one ever tast
ed and not one of them had a single
seed. This was a revelation to me,
and as the rancher remained for din
ner I was curious enough to a«k him
the seerrt of their production. ‘E isy
enough,' said lie, ‘You plant yo ir
melons in the ordinary way. When
the vines are two or throe feet long
cover them at the joints (where the
leaves come out) with fresh dirt. In
a L<• days—say a week—roots will
have formed at the places where t >e
vines are covered sufficient to keep
the vines alive. Then cut off the
vine between the first joint and the
ptrent stem, and all the melons that
grow nn the disconnected vine will
be eoedlees.’ The man offered to
take me in his pa'ch a mile or »o out
of town and sh»w me all abour Tt,
but I did nut have t|ftgfn inveatLate

' Many hearts were sad. and mmy
eyes were bedewed with tears )a«t
S iltirdny evening as the sad niessAiie i
wis passed from lip to lip that Clate
Bowers was dead. He had been |
rick only about ten days, and bis
case was n<4 considered serious until i
last Wedneriar, when his friends aud
p lyriciuns decided th it unless he
should take a J urn for the better his
case would soon be hopeless. But
thj change for the better never catue.

for tbe first time, his friends fully re-/

he was thrown in company with, and
loved by all who knew him.' Rev. J.

the-* reports are damaging and mu

Royston, so the be>t physicians in
the country say, in twelve months.
That there has been fever iu Royston
no oue denies; but it Ims not been

in the last five years we hive not

reja rts are damaging, calculated 'o
damage our town in general, and our
school in particular. Why. we hav<
one es the healthiest town* in north
Georgia. We liave had only al out
three deaths among the whites in our
town since Christinas, and none of
them have been from fever. True
we have had some death? near town
this year from fever, and we have a'

between them. About the time the
train was leaving Atlanta Mr. Lofton
