TIIK VALVE OF HOIF.LS Visitors Worth $10,000 a Day to the Town. The following from tho Atlanta gives some idea of what can done with a couple of good hotels a small t wn: Hou. Alex Jonrs, of 1'bomasville, in the city today- He says that Georgia is a revelation to bun. was raised in north Georgia and the idea that the southern part the state waaa sort of wilderness psue barrens. Tie pre.ttst sight I c-ver saw he. is one of those pear grove# Tbomasvilie. Just now tbe tree is one pyramid of white I am aimo&t afraid to you tbe estimated annual value of the pear crop. The L Conte pas!' brings in or* money to Tuotuns thin the cotton crop—I should say £100,000 a year What about your hotels? Tbomasvilie has the best betels iD the state. There are svma lirger binding*, b it the interior service and appointments are better lean any in the state. Our hotels not so very small, eithei The Pmey Woods hotel is five feet Ion , with a ver n’n rnrni the whole megth. It has about rooms and tbe Mitchell house abo u 150. Taere is mure wealth at Tlioniisviiie thin in any resort in the south. There are thousand visitors there this and Mrs. Bowers told me that had been compelled to refuse plications of live hundred more. The hotels charge $4 a day, the visitors are worth at least 000 a day to Thoniasville. You will sea there men faces are familiar at Newport and Stratoga in summer, and the icent costumes of the women almost dazzling. There are more vit i ors i i Tb< in. ville than £• any cue point in ida. South Georgia's reputation a winter r. oi t is fully established- The win er clinate of ia delightful, and in summer we near enough to the guif to pet the sea breezes, which keep ns cool. .*Th* Grealert Care en Z-\" h f r rain.' a- . scaitf.
