Valdosta, her People and the Cor¬ diality Extended the Pr ess. f » • A . vr: 1 < ■ D J YE ED. ON THE MOVE. After traveling over the distance of five hundred and forty miles of rail¬ road we arrived at the beautiful little city of Valdosta on Tuesday the 10th inst, and were most happily surprised to kuow that Valdosta was a great deal larger and more beautiful than we expected. Even in this section of the State, we hear this place spoken of in the highest terms, and yet it is not el¬ evated by good compliments that she deserves. She is t(|day one of the pro¬ gressive towns of Georgia, and will soon reach a round in the ladder of fame that she just ly deserves, The population now reaches three thousand or over and is increasing. Much mon¬ ey is expended on fine buildings, lots, public conveniencies, etc. They have nice stores in all branches of business, h splendid fire department, a tine acad¬ . emy, five white churches and many other things worthy of mention, but suace pot permit. Here we must merit ion o: one of the most prominent features of the place and that is the Valdosta Times, which is one of the best weekly papers in Georgia. It is ably edited and published by Messrs. Pendleton and Peeples, who are very clever and who seem to b; genial fa¬ vorites of their people. This paper is an example, because its town people see fit to advertise in it and its mana¬ gers show their appreciation of the liberal patronage by furnishing a first class paper. Valdosta is to be congratulated up¬ on having such fine hotel keepers, Messrs. Stuart and Prescott. When we arrived we were taken in charge by Mr. C. T. Stuart, proprietor ol‘‘Stu art’s Number Five,” which is one of the best hotels in the South. Mr. S. and family are among the cleverest people we ever met. Mr. S. hlinself is exceptionably cordial to all his guests, and any one feels at home the moment he enters the Stuart Hotel. Having been in the hotel business for twenty two years, he knows exactly how to administer to the wauts of the weary traveler. We are sorry to state that this gentleman was burned out a few years ago, which fire consumed for him the entire building of a very fine hotel; the former covering almost an acre of ground only a short distance from where his house now stands. lie deserves the good patronage which he is now receiving and we extend to him and family our best wishes. On Wednesday morning at lOo’clock the Convention met in the court-rooms of the Lowndes county court house, and the assembly was called to order by President J. H. Estill, of the 8a vannah News. Mr Burr, of the Fort Valley Mnror, acted as secretary in the morning session. Mr. J. M. Wil kison, one of Valdosta’s polished gen tlernen, arose and gave us a most beau tiful and appropriate speech in an ad dress of welcome to the Georgia Press Association: after which Mr. J. W. Hurt*, of the Western Advoc.te, re sponded in a re w words of thanks in Lehalf “ of the Frets. Those two little speeches were heartily applauded ... ny all. After this the usual routine of business was attended to. Six new m tubers were added to our already large list. Officers to serve the fol lowing year were el cted as follows: j H Estill, of Savannah News, I’res blent; U. R. Pendleton, of the Valdos ta Times, 1st Vic--President; Ge p. Woods, of the Hawkinsville Dis. atch, 21,4 v >v vV f >, Washington Gazette, itccotUihg aec Tetary: and .1. B. Hutchinson, of the THE DEMOCRAT, CKAWFORDVILLE, GEORGIA. -Tonesboro News, Corresponding Secre tary. The evening was spent at a pleasant entertainment given by the citizens of Valdosta, which consisted of a first class banquet at the Stuart House a nd a most excellent ball at the Pres «* the convention T "« were "“f 41 with " 1 < ladies. ** There were but two daily papers repre¬ sented. THE BANQUET AND BALL. By contract Mr. C. T. Stuart spread 120 plates in his opera hall at a cost of three dollars a plate, and the editors and their wives were invited to join some of the citizens of Valdosta at the festive board at 9 o’clock. At that hour the guests, escorted by their hosts, entered the Gall, which was gaily decorated inside and out with Chinese lanterns and bunting, the Valdosta orchestra occupied the stage, and dispensed its choicest music dur¬ ing the two hours sitting. The tables were filled with every¬ thing that was good, and of course «e made good the time we were there. Mr. Stuart will be long remembpred as well as the other good citizens of Val¬ dosta for their good attention while in that hall of festivities. Right here we may say that we don’t believe there has ever been a place in Georgia that received the Press like Valdosta did last week—with such wide open arms and pocket books. We were their guest and they treated us like guest. The people of that city bad arranged to give us a carriage ride around the town, but a rain storm came up just in time to defeat it. After the supper was dispensed with we had several most splendid toe sls from the various good speakers pres¬ ent. TOASTS. “The Georgia Press —Its honor, its veracity, its power.” To which Mr. T. L. Underwood, of the Camilla Cla¬ rion, responded in a very happy man¬ ner. “The Euilroads of our Country —The greatest developers of the age.” Re¬ sponded to by Capt. 8. T. Kingsberry, assistant genera! counsel of the S. F. k W. Road. Capt. King, is a famous humorist, and lie got in some of his best work on this occasion. Nearly every sentence brought form a round of applause and laughter. “ Valdosta —Her present attainments and her future hopes.” Responded to Oy Mr. J. O. Varuedoe, of Valdosta. His speech on ’his occasion was wor¬ thy of the man, aud worthy of the sub¬ ject and occasion. _ “ 27/ e Amenities of Journalism —Good¬ will and fellowship as essential ele¬ ments in concentrating and wedding the power of the press” Responded to by Rev, J. W. Burke, of the Chris¬ tian Advocate. Ills eloquent remarks on this occasion elicited repeated ap¬ plause, and was a fitting crown upon this festive occasion. After all these good speeches and the good banquet, the crowd left the opera house wrapped up in delight and their souls filled with the sweet music by the splendid orchestra of that place. A nice ball was in progress at i n./ cott’s Hotel and some went over there while others went to bed. The ball was all that could be ex¬ pected. After dancing and promenad¬ ing to the heart’s cont ;nt of all pres¬ ent, there was a second table and a real banquet extended again, but ye ed. was full up to his jaws and bad to till out the rest of the evening with sw<et chat to those lovely young ladies of the wire-grass section. Upon invitation the Association re¬ solved to meet in annual session next year at Canton, in North Georgia. At 6:30 o’clock Thursday morning we left for Brunswick by a special train. This courtesy was extended us by those clever gentlemen, Messrs. It. B. Fleming, of the 8. F. & W. li. It., and J. A. McDuffie and A. A. Gaddis, of the B. &. VV. R. R. We must say that we never entered a better car | than tiiose used on these roads and the managers have our many thanks for the kindness extended us. When wc i arrived at Brunswick, we stopped at the Ocean House; and the citizens of j Brunswick entertained us with a ride over the city aud a hall that night, with some speeches in behalf of the Association and the city. Brunswick is rapidly on the improve and is one of the best cities in our state. She has splendid water works, long lines of street railway, lots of pretty and lovely drives and seeneiy. Her wharfs are extensive a„n filled with business. She has a bright luture be fore her. We extend thanks to Mayor Dunn ,, and ... the boaid , ot tiade of n. that r place for their kindness. < n Fiiday morning early we J runs wick for Fernandina, 11a., by way of a special steamer under the management of the Brunswick Island Steamboat Company. We were joined on this pleasant trip by nearly one hundred of select ladies and gentlemen if Brunswick. U» the boat we had musie both voeai and instrumental, in tb- wa> of eatables we bad nice caae ami traits, in drinks we had leiu onade, military punch and fine wines, and plenty fine cigars to puff on. All th.s was plentiful and at the expeuse of the good people of Bruaswick and 1 ernandiua, At Dungeness. we stopped and vlsit the grave of Light horse Harry Lee. It is a most beautiful place where toe •** •** "" moss hanging in abundance to the ground. The olive, date and orange trees make theii home there. It is wonderful to visit this place and see the beauties of this beautiful Island. On the simple marble slab that murks the resting place oi this heroic Lee, is the following inscription: SACRED To the memory of GEN. HENRY LEE, of Virginia. Obiit. 25 Mch, 1816. HI tat 63. We lauded at Fernandina, Fla., about 7 o'clock, but we will have to defer further mention of this glorious trip until another week’s paper, when we will endeavor to give you a most interesting notice about Florida and some of her towns and cities. Seize the Opportunity Ere it is too Late.
