Location, Climate and Health of
Tifton.
The following from the Southern
Immigrant is of interest to our home
people us well as to the people of tbe
North who tire thinking of seeking a
borne in the South.
Tifton u one of the most 6nely lo
w'll give the following concert at throated cities of the South, nftt only
Fair Iluildiiig. All ate tnVited to at- from a commercial standpoint, but
from a healthful one as well, being
high and dry, 400 feet above sea
level, in a country gently undulating
and covered with balmy pines, tbe
frsgruuce of which carries- with it
bealthgiring p'ronertfca to those
afflicted with any and all kinds of
lung and pulmonary troubles. Tif
ton is aboat fifty-five miles from the
Northern Florida line, in thirty-one
and one half degrees latitude, 105
miles south of Macon and 200 miles
south of Atlanta, on three lines of
railroad, two of which, tire Georgia
Southern & Florida and Plant Sys
tem, are the largest trank lines of
the South, the other being tbe Tif
ton & Northeastern, running from
Fitzgerald, a distance of tweuty-fivc
miles, owned and operated by Capt.
n. H. Tift of this city, who is, at
this time, contemplating further con
nections which will open up a direct
route from the Sea Board on the
northeast, to the Gulf on the south
west, so that Tifton is supplied with
shipping and passenger facilities
equal to any for reaching points in
Cuban Question.
The Caban question is being con
sidered by the senate committee on
foriegn relations and may be reported
to-day. Great oare has been taken
to get the exact facta of the aituation
in Cuba at present and the report to
the senate will be very interesting.
Blemlrars of the oomtpitte feel that
the question before the senate is a
serious one and that what action that
body may take will have great
weight with tho administration.
It is probable that any action by
the President will bo delayed till the
return of 3Ir. Calhoun, who went to
Cuba to investigate the cause of the
death of Dr. Ituiz. Mr. Calhonn is
expected to report on the general
condition of affairs on the island.
Equal Suffragists.
The Atlanta Equal Suffrage Aszo-
ciation is in trouble. The associa
tion has been holding meetings every
month in tbe Y. 31. C. A. bail, but
the Secretary has announced that it
iz against the rules of the Y.3I.C.A.
for ttuy.^wlitical body to bold meet
ings iff', the hall, uud the equal suffer
ers will have to go elsewhere.
Since the meeting of the national,
equal suffrage convention in Atlanta
twb years ago the movement bus
been gaining ground slowly in that
city ami the Iceul association holds
regular monthly meetings under the
direction of 31 rs. M. L. McLendon,
the president.
Cduuty School CoiiiiulsMioncrH.
The county school commissioners

Gov. Atkinson asks that a repre
sentative body from every town of
any size in the stute lie present and
take part in. tho grand line of march
while in the North snow to the depth
of from three to four feet is lying on
tho ground and tho thermometer
ranges from 15 degrees to 40 degrees
below zero, in this delightful section
green grass may be seen, birds singing,
roses and violets in bloom, the sun
shining warm and, in fact, everything
which could bo asked for to mako
up a climate as complete as can be
found anywhere on the face of the
globe. Of course there is winter
here; lint remember that it is nothing
like the winters of tho North. Snow
is almost unknown, while tho time
during which there are any frosts at
nil docs not exceed three months,
and then at no time does it form ice
over one-half inch in thickness, while
at this writing, 3farch 14th, there is
uot a house in tbe city in which the
doors and windows are not standing
open. To people not posted it would
seem that in n climate where it is so
warm in winter, it must of necessity
be exceedingly hot in summer, but
such is not tbe case, tbo thermometer
scarcely ever reaching the point of
100 degrees, while in -some sections
of the North that point is passed al
most every dsy for two • or three
months.. .
The health of Tifton and contig
uous territory is something phenome
nal, the death rate not excelling four
in every thousand people per year
and it hardly reaches that per cent-
nge. Of uourae there are • reasons;
and valid ones, for the healtbfulnesa
of tbia section. Tjie most soft water
to be found on eartb, tbe clear balm-
laden, health-giving atmosphere, kept
gently stirring by the Gulf and
ocean breezes, the clean, dry, well
drained soil, the inhalation of fra
grance of ever-growing vegetation,
and last but not least, the content
ment wbioh pervades the very air,
canting one to feel so truly happy
that sickness is almost an impossi
bility. There are no cates of conta
gions disease in or abont Tifton,
whits on the oth^r hand, many jure
here who, in tbe bortb, were senenaly
troubled with lung and pulmonary
troubles, and almost without excep-
beibg benefitted.
