New Orleans, March, 21st
After the work and worry of five
months, to bring the Gazette from
the ashes of the great conflagration
and send her freighted with good
things weekly to her many eager
readers we ask a temporary leave to
bask in’the sunlit skies ofthc “Ita
ly of America,” and to take in the
wonderful exhibits of human art,
industry and enterprise at the
■Worlds great show.
Boarding the fast mail at 6
o’clock Tuesday we found several
members of the craft snoozing and
snoring. At the Central city oth
ers joined us and after warm
greetings and good wishes for a
happy reunion, we were sped away
to the “Artesian City.” Here that
generous hospitality so character
istic of southern Georgia welcomed
the Georgia Press association.
The open area about the depot was
covered with spans of dashing
teams which soon landed the par
ty at the Artisian House, where
we were allowed to inhale the sul
phurous odor and quaff the life giv
ing, clear sparkling artisian draught
which is the boast and the pride of
every .citizen. Then the freedom
of the city was tendered and all
were delighted to view the broad
avenues, palatial residences, nest
ling in magnificent groves ofgigan
tie oak, evergreens and magnolia
gandiflora. Albany has taken the
lead in artesian wells. She lias al
ready public and private, six, of
these health giving fountains, and
others being oored costing on an
average about two thouand dollars
each. She boasts also of a cotton
seed oil mill'an ice factory, [goods
schools, prosperous churches good
health <fcc.
Her citizens crowned the occasion
with a magnificent spread of sub
stantials and dedicatees and a gen
erous welcome which was extend
ed most pleasingly by Mr Davis.
On behalf of the Ga. Press, Rev.
W.W.Wadsworth of the Coweta Ad
vetiser delivered a very timelyjand
elegant response. After several
toasts and responses and all were
“too full for utterance”, the as
sociation took leave) forThomasville
which we might properly christen
the city of magnificent hotels. The
first ; intimation of Jan approach
to this delightful place was the
cordial greeting and familiar
smile oftheChestified of the Geor
gia Press, more familiarly known
as John Triplett. The soft sun had
retired and mine friend apprehend
ing our better half to be with us
had consigned us to a household
perfect in neatness, order and do
mestic felicity. By Mayor S. L.
Hayes and his accomplished wife
we were made to full as if we were at
home.
Thomasville seems to be wresting
from Florida the healing power, in
thejsuperoiity of the climatic injoy
ments she possesses. This fact seems
to be ‘verified in the progress and
prosperity of hotel building here
and in the rapid increase of popu
lation. Twenty years ago 500
was her population; in 1870 she
had 1560, in 1880 she numbered 22-
35. The late census taken by the
city shows now a population of
4300.
She lias the Gulf House with 30
bed chambers; the Waverly with
25. The Mitchell House which
was burned some time since is
nearing completion again a much
larger and better building. It will
have 140 Bed chambers and is re
built at a cost of about SIOO,OOO.
Since the Mitchell was burned a
joint stock company erected a most
magnificent building, known as the
Piney Woods Hotel. It is beauti
fully finished, magnificently fur
nished,[containing 165 guest cham
bers the whole costing in round
numbers $133 (XX). The hotel in
terest here is a very profitable one,
as will be seen from the fact that
the weekly boarder at the Piney
Woods pays s2l. There is one
family now occupying 3 choice
rooms in the building, the family
numbering five or six, including a
servant. This family pays the ti
dy seem of $2. 500 per month for
the three rooms and rations.
There are demands even with these
prices, that the House cannot
meet. The Mitchell however will
soon be ready for occupancy and
many more can be accommodated.
Asa winter home, Thomasville
seems to be as popular as any sec
tion of Florida. The capitalists of
this place fully realize the advan
tages of the situation and ae I>b
erally investing their money in the
direction of building up the city.lt
lias many very attraction home
and some houses built for rent
command the very handsome sum
of SBOO rent per year. The gayer
element of our party gyrated the
light fantastic toe at the Piney ,
Woods till a late hour Tuesday
night.
Wednesday morning the asso
ciation passed on to Bainbridgo
where the citizens extended a gen
erous welcome, through their ex
cellent citizen Judge Campbell, in
a most truely and sensible effort,
which was responded to by Mr Un
dewood of Camilla. The regular
business of the association was then,
discharged, including the annual
election of officers. * All the old
officers were reelected except the
second Vice Presidecy to which
Mr T. L. Gantt was elected.
The association accepted an invi
tation to hold the next meeting at
Macon Ga, at such time as the
President shall deem it proper to>
appoint.
The lmsincs of the convention
being over an invitation from the
management of the Louisville ancl
Nashville Railroad company to
take an excursion to New Orleans*
was accepted, and \\ ednesday
night the party boarded the special;
cars and reached the Cresent city
just before midnight Thursday, tak
ing breakfast at Pensacola Fla and
dinner at Mobile Ala. It was a
treat to ride over West Florida dur
ing the day. The opening up of'
this section was only done about
two years since by the building of
the Pensacola and Atlantic Rail
road. Leaving Pensacola this
road takes you ten miles along the
shore of the hay where on one side
you have a most bautiful sheet of
water and on the other bold bluffs
which tower up from twenty to
seventy feet high and which will
soon be dotted with beautiful vil
las and charming groves.
Crossing the bay on a two mile
bridge, we passed through Santa;
Rosa county, taking in Milton, the
county seat with about 1500 inhab
itants* Crossing here Black water
river, takes the ridge, north of
low river carrying us one hundred’
feet above the sea level where soon
will be many LeConte Pear groves
and truck farms.
Crossing Yellow river the road
mounts up 300 feet above the sea
at Crestview and crossing Shoal
river mounts the backbone of Flor
ida, on which is situated Lake De
Funiak, the location of the FlqoV
da Chautauqua which is 80 miles
east of Pensocola. Two'miles north
west is Lake Stanley and in turn
we pass Ponce De Leon, ArgvlKq,
Westville, Caryville, Bonifay, Clip
ley, Marianna, and other places of
interest.
The move to established at Laker
De Funiak the Florida Chuutampuat
is an important one since it carries
the idea of combining health seek
ing with recreation and instruction’
during the winter weather in the
Florida climate, on the Chautau
gua plan. Building and other work
necessary to the establishment of
the Florida Chautauvua is going;
on.
We had been pleased to have
seen more of Pensacola|which is sit
uated within a land-locked bay,
thirty miles long by three and one
half miles jwide. The bar at the en
trancejof the bay is|twenty-five feet
at ebb.tide.andjthe United States on
gin eer now at work on it expects
28 feet by the end of this year. Na
ture has done much for this port
and its importance will increase in
the early future.
Leaving Mobile near night we
had not the pleasure of seeing the
country from thence to New' Or
leans.
The Georgia Press Association se
cured rooms at Hotel Windsor just
out the exposition grounds enclo
sure. This is anew building and
the most convenient to the great
show. As we have but time to brush
off the dirt and pen these few lines,
our readers will indulge us till the
next issue for a word about the
great exhibition.
The Senate has taken steps to
prevent executive secrets being
published, which senators thii k
has grown to be an evil of great
magnitude.
