With south western breezes til ling the white sails ot « t The Liz zig” and the waves of the sound almost beckoning us to venture forth, we begin our days outing to interesting points near Morehead jyj- (j Fort Macon! Does that name awaken any war memories in the experiences- of Southerners? We approach this relic of the war, (af¬ ter landing at the point of shore which is most accessible) with feelings akin to awe and sadness, traversing, and are of meadordike land we reach the keepers cottage, an aged negro man greets us at the gate, and we ask permission to en¬ ter the fort, the Captain is absent, but after some demurring, we are allowed to follow the colored veter¬ an to the entrance of the Fort. We are impressed by masonry al¬ most perfect which it presents, as it stands sumounted by a wall of brick sunk far below the earth’s surface surrounded by large blocks of red sandstone. The draw bridge which formerly spanned the Moat has crumbled away and we reach the door of the Fort by means of a structure almost too frail to support us. Our attendant with much effort, swings back tbe heavy doors on j their gigantic hinges and we enter, with the date April 25th, 1802 ' m large black characters spanning the arch above our heads. We traverse with eager steps this subterranean structure from the lieadquarters of the officers, to the sleeping rooms, dining rooms, ba keries powder magazines, and dun geons with mildewed walls and port holes to admit uir, uucanuy in the extreme! We peer through port holes acioss the moat aud see white I dresses and bright colored parasols i instead We of cordons hear laughter of armed far above sol- j diers. our heads iustead of the roll of the cannon on the gun carriages. Ou every side the dovo of peace has left the soothing touch of her wings. We are glad to emerge from these gloomy depths into the Ulterior court floated with suushin* an ^ furnished with flights of wind ' n g ste P s °t solid sandstone finish e dwith wrought iron hand railings, " 0 ascen d these grand steps to see the 2 nn carriages and get a view of the broad Atlantic from the ram¬ parts above the carriages. We wonder bow a Fort so im¬ pregnable in appearance, costing the government $2,000,000 could have been captured in two hours time. The water flows into the moat in underground passage! from the Ocean and the little fish play about in its sluggish depths unmolested and safe. Our boat off the shore looks in¬ viting for we are aware of noontime, and know that delicious broiled mackerel and trout fresh from the hands of the chef are awaiting our arrival. Dinner is ready and with great aridity we satisfy our hunger and each one declares we have been served by a chef in reality. We have a noble experience iu our trip to the life saving Station and are interested in its complete appoint¬ ments, yet to be christened as no storm has ever marred the newness of its setting, or dulled the bright¬ ness of its furnishings. An emerald isle is just across file sound from us and we sail there f° r a brief sojourn to sen the United States fisheries, and the wireless telegraphy station. The spacious building so beautifully draped in the interior iu real fish nets with cork and leads contains every spe cies of equatic life from Algae to the Octopus all preserved in alcohol a H of which are found in the wa ters about Morehead. These spec * mens would interest the most ad vanced scientist. We leave this ideal sport so per fectly kept with a sigh for it i is so invitingly cool and restful, Numerous green marshes are iu the sound and as the boat glides by we dist urbs a solitary marsh hen and think of Lanier’s couplet tbe ‘The marsh builds her nest'oti watery sod. T5I SNTSBPMSE, COVINGTON, QA., We build our homes on the goodness of God.” To complete this day a sail to the surf and dip in the billows seems to be most desired. This is so invigorating and beguiling we lose sight of the passing mo¬ ments. Looking westward we are remin¬ ded of sunset and evening star, also a distance of several miles separates from our cottage by the sound; then comes twilight and the night bringing to a close one of the most charming days of tbe summer. Mrs. Addir E. Turner. Doctors Said He Would Not Live. Peter Fry, Woodruff, Pa., writes “Af. ter doctoring for years with the best physicians in Waynesburg, and still getting worse, the doctors advised me if I had any business to attend to I had better attend to it at once, as I could not possibly live another month as there was no cure for me. Foley’s Kidney Cure was recommended to me by a friend and I immedialy sent my son to the store for it and after tak three bottles I began to get better and continued to improve until I was en lireiy well.''

Dawson, Ga m Sept. 5.— There will be no county taxes levied in Terrell next year. The board of county commissioners so decided today. Their action in this matter meaus that for five consecutive years the citizens ot Terrell have had no county tax to pay. The profits from the operation of thedispei isa Jies in the county more than suffice for the maintenance of all institu¬ tions, which includes one of the most excellent road-working sys terns in the state. Terrell bolds a unique position in the matter of no tax levy. It is the only county in the state, or perhaps in the United States, where the citizens are not required to contribute support to the county’s expenses. A Surprise Party.
