the laud of flowers. He regaled us
along the way with many charming
stories of life and adventure in this
interesting land. A few might be
reproduced here to show the re
sources and advanlages of Florida,
but lack of space and love of home
forbid us to recall more than one or
two. Doubtless all hare h. aid of

When I asked Mr. V. if they were
ever seen in this section, he raid that
he had seen only one during a resi
dence of six years, and hat. was

when handling saw logs with a mule
team he run across one in the road
which struck at the team and fasten
ed his horn in the pole of the wagon.
So virulent was the poison that in a
short time the polo had swollen to
nearly the size of the saw-log, and
finally had to be amputated from the
wagon.

A NOVEL TEAM,
if a single atiiru. 1 can be called a
team. A foui teen foot alligator has
been tamed and broken to harness,
and his guests make frequent trips
inland with this strange motive
power. An iron band riveted around
the saurian’s body has a pole attach
ed by a swivel joint. The pole is
projected over his head and on the
end is a basket containing a “coon
kid.” The speed attained is not so
great as that of an ordinary pair of
carriage horses, but a ride behind
the alligator is never forgotten.
We passed a place where all the
palmetto trees weie splotched with

were first noticed to be that way the
night following Cleveland’s election.

THE TRIP-
When the members of the Georgia
Weekly Press Association were noti
fied that the annual convention would
be held at Brunswick, and that the
excursion would be into Florida in
mid-summer, a general feeling of in
difference prevailed. I, myself, warn
down with some reluctance, expect
ing to be roasted by the tropical sun,
and anticipating little pleasure aside
from the making of new acquaint
ances en route, and the novelty of
sight-seeing in the Land of Flowers.
Os course I had imagined that the
average Georgia editor in traveling
array would be interesting to ob
serve. And indeed it was a sight to
see him luxuriating in a magnificent
hotel, and feasting ou viands fit for
a god, nonchalantly aa though his
usual meat and drink were quite as
tony, and he accustomed to reading
French menu cards thrice each day.
The time-honored linen duster was
missed, and hard hats of the vintage
of ’B3 were Mt largely worn, so to
be frank my first big surprise was
in the personnel of our party. The;
Florida papers spoke of it as “The
brain and beauty of the Empire
State,” and they were about right.
Ux the editor is up with the times,
Frank Stanton sad his “Bilhille
But lam digressing? -1 left home
Sunday. July 9th, and after a pleas
, - L-L* J
ton for supper.
Monday was spent iu Atlanta until
7:40, whin we pulled cut of the city
for an illnight’s run over the E
T. V. &G. road. I whs fortunate
enough to secure a berth in the
sleeper, but unfortunate enough to
be kept from occupying it until
about midnight on account of the
proximity of a number of wile
awake young ladies. I discovered
about that hour that they were wait
ing for the g> ntlemen to retire first,
so gallantry prompted a move in that
direct in. Disrobing iu or for an
1 upper befth is a difficult job at best.
’ end I found it particularly so just at
this juncture. Finally the boys were
' all stowed away, and then the tables
1 turned, but we couldn't giggle at
' them ai they did at us, you know,
1 for we only heard with our ears.
1 Breakfast was taken at the Ocean
' Hotel. Two hours for sight-seeing,
• and then our Association met in the
! city hall. Business was despatched
rapidly and at two o’clock we wore
ready to board the beautiful steamer
for St. Simon’s Island. Here we
> were the guests of Happy Jack
; Clancey, one of the best and most
. popular of hotel men, and were
s shown many courtesies, including a
r splendid spread, followed by a de
j lightful drawing-room conceit. A
I fairy like little beauty of seven cap
. tivated us all with her graceful danc
. ing.
i Late at night we made the return
> trip to Brunswick, and I fell asleep
1 with visions of surging seas teeming
j with merry surf-bathers, and I i evel-
ing in the midst of them.
Wednesday morning we were the
1 charges of Capt. Thad Sturgis on
his boat the “City of Brunswick,”
and bound lor Cumberland Island, a
distance of 24 miles.
1 On the way we pass Jekyl Island,
3 the winter resort and game preserve
of a club of Northern millionaires
’ I was told that the initiation fee for
a new member was $5,000, and the
3 annual dues S9OO. Splendid cluL
1 houses, palatial residences and costly
- nautical equipment were seen on all
s sides. Deer, bear, and smaller game
abound, and the spoilsman can
’ drive out and bring down a pair o>
1 antlers without alighting from his
> carriage. At the eastern extremity
f of the island we were shown the
I point where the last slave-ship landed
its human cargo—“ The Wanderer ,'’
in 1865.
3 Cumberland Island is one of the
i most popular of Southern watering
, places, and as usual is crowded with
guests. Here we were entertained
3 nicely, and saw many iuteresting
• things. Dungeness, the winter pal
i ace of the millionaire Carnegie, is
s located on the southern end of the
j island. The estate embraces many
thousands acres, and is kept up in
1 great style. Light Horse Harry
f Lee died at this place, and frequent
j pilgrimages are made to his grave
. by the visitors on the island. Here
as at St. Simon’s the sale of spirit
’ uous and malt liquors is prohibited
by special legislative enactment, ft
is not strange then to know that
i “blind tigers” flourish along with
■ the other wild animals.
f The law is evaded very nicely.
The guests leave orders to be for
f warded (!) to Brunswick. Oue of
‘ our boys ventured to ask how long
i it took to bring returns. The clerk
s with a knowing wink' replied, “Oh,
about two minutes I guess.” Lager
beer is also outlawed, but they have
1 a specific for various ills, nicely
3 labeled “Hop Tea," which is largely
in use by the ailing traveler. The
inventor of this medicine could
’ doubtless get some very flattering
' testimonials from the luminaries of
■ the press who happened to be dry.
i A few of our number, inquisitively
r inclined, wanted to inspect the
“pneumatic tube service/ which de
’ liverid the ardent from Brunswick
r so expeditiously. Whether or not
I they saw how it worked, I cannot
s say, but they seemed better satisfied
when they came back.
Returning to Brunswick, we had
’ supper in time to take the seven
' o’clock train for Waycross. From
here our special cars were in per
sonal charge of Mr. Geo. W. Coates,
A G. P. A., of the great Plant
system. At Waycross we were
favored with a special engine to pull
j our train, and from there to Jackson
ville some fa-t time was made. The
distance, 72 miles, requiring about
90 minutes- The Carleton Hotel was
seL eteJ as pur stopping place, and
by two c/eloek al) W in the
arms of Morpheus, I got up at
five o'clock and caught my first* im
pressions of this “Atlanta of Florida/’
As a commercial center this is the
most important point in Florida.
We were tiken in hand here by a
committee from the Board of Trade,
and were tfee recipients of many hon
ors, including an ejnursjon to Burn
side Tfoftf-h-
Here again the ladies and gentle-1
men repaired to the surf en-masse.
Returning from the bath they ran {
into about half a carload of luscious
' Georgia watermelons just off the ioe |
and already cut. Justice was done i
to this feature, and then our train [
took us into Jacksonville in time for ;
dinner. Later in the afternoon a I
special on the J. St. A. & L R. R’y
took us down to St. Augustine, the ‘
ancient Spanish city by the sea. In '
my next I will try to give something I
, of interest about this quaint old
place. W. H. Williams.

A Virginia Girl’s Adventure.
While we are telling snake stories,
stys the Fre lericksburg Star, the fol
liwiug good one comes to us from the
mountain region, Mr. E. Tulin stand
ing as authority. Tne country between
Li tie aud Big Black Mountain is a
gins mg region, and the Parker family
arc noted as ‘‘scngers.” The girls
go out barefooted in the mountains,
though the country is infested with
rattlesnakes und copperheads, and dig
the ginseng, for which they get good
prices at the stores, and from which
it is taken to Pennington Gap for
shipment.
But a uug Clover Cap and up Rat
tlesnake Creek there are numberless
reptiles. Beckie Parker is a good
girl, about 19 years of age, strung,
beallhy-looking and han‘some, but
.• ith a veiy determined face. She is
a|-<pltn l'il rifle shot and is often seen
with her Winchester.
She goes after ginseng barefooted
aud often alone. The tools me gath
ered in May and September, and
during the months just [ait she did
a thriving business. Ouc day, how
ever. she c.ime acrovs a den of rattle
snakes. She had only stones and
sticks with which to light the desper
ate battle. Some of the snakes wen
larger than a miu’a arm, and a few
of them as large as the calf of a man’s
leg. For lo urs she fought them as
they liirSed and writhed and rattled
a'ound her. But the brave, deter
mined gitl battled with them until
she exterminated every one that did
not succeed in hiding among the crev
ices of rocks ami in the dense under
brush. When she had crushed the
last one to be seen she counted the
dead, aud there were just 63.

An African Spider.
While traveling on the Gold Coast
of Africa H. H. J. Bell noticed in the
bushes a singular looking white flow
er with a blue center. Stopping to
examine it he found, to his astonish
ment, that it was not a flower at all,
but a spider's web, and that the sup
posed light blue heart of the flower
was the spider itself lying in wait for
its prey. The legs of the cunning
spider, yellow, mottled with brown,
were extended in such away as to
resemble the divisions between the
petals of the flower.
The web itself, very delicately
woven into a rosette pattern, was
white, and the threads that suspend
ed it from the bushes were so fine as
to be almost invisible. The whole
thing had the appearance of being
suspended in the air upon a stem con
cealed beneath.
When Mr. Bell knocked the spider
from its perch into a white gauze net,
his surprise was increased upon see
ing his captive instantly turn from
blue to white. Its former mimicry
had been practiced as a snare; now it
was playing a similar game for the
sake of concealment.
But the end of the performance
was not yet reached. When Mr. Bell
shook his captive, its Lody
changed color, becoming this time of
a dull greenish brown. Later he cap
tured another large specimen of the
same species of spider, whose flower
web resembled an orchid. This spider
exhibited the same remarkable power
of changing its color.
A Veteran's Many Wounds.
It has occurred to no obituary
writer to notice Lord Napier of Mag
dala’s utter indifference to wounds
and the wonderful celerity of his re
covery of them. Two of his wounds
he had not cared to notice at all in
his record of services furnished to
Hart’s army list.
He was severely wounded at Fero
zeshah in December, 1845, but had re
covered in time to take part in the
battle of Sobranon seven weeks later.
Before Mooltan in the middle of
September, 1848, a cannon shot all
but took off his leg, but he was
marching and fighting again by the
second week in November.
On the 12th of January following
he was severely wounded in the
trenches, but he was able to march
several hundred miles across the
country and fight at Gujfcat one
month later to a day.
He was shot in the leg at the first
relief of Lucknow, but nevertheless
rode out next day and brought in the
rear guard, after which throughout
the blockade he did continuous and
arduous service. At the second re
lief he was severely wounded, but
this did not hinder him from taking
up the active duty of chief engineei
at the Alumbagh a few days later.—

We are pleased to present this from
Rev. A A. Williams, of the Sillsbee
street Christian Church. Lynn. Mass.:
u I see no reason why a clergyman, more than
a layman, who knows whereof he speaks,
should hesitate to approve an
Article of Merit
and worth from which he or his family have
been signally benefited, and whose commenda
tion may serve to extend those benefits to
others by increasing their confidence My wife
has for many years been a sufferer from severe
Nervous Headache
for which she found little help. Site lias tried
many things that promised well but per
formed little. Last fall a friend gave hei a bot
tle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It seems surpris
ing what simply one bottle could and did do
for her. The attacks of headache decreased iu
number and were less violent in their intend
•ity, while her general health hak been ini
proved. Her Appetite has also'tieen better.
From our experience With 1 -- *■••
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
I have no hesltatell in endorsing its Merita.’’
