Sammer Retreats at tho south.
From the Columbus (Ga sentinel. June 20
We do not underrate the benefits OF travel This,
however, il very different thing from the habit OF
absenteeism 30 common at the South. No sooner
does the sun pass the summer solstice than thou
Hnnds of families annually shut up their houses, dis
miss their servants, turn over the management of
nheir farms to agents, and seek pleasure in the
xhr0nged cities and watering places at the North.
The effects Of this practice upon Southern society are
lanentable. The gay and the beautiful all lown;
par0rs all closed; churches partially deserted; the
busy workers alone left; there is nothing TO relieve
life Of its monotony but the piercing rays of the sum-
mers sun, and the clouds OF dust which every breeze
fings In the face, during the long summer months
in the sunny South. The flowers bloom in vain; in
vain does the m0ckng bird tr its melodOus song.
And for what is all this sacrifice madef For the in
cOnveniences of bad hotel at a watering place, or
the hustle of crowded city, far far away

But not only is the South deprived of the presence
of great numbers Of her people during the summer
months but the golden harvest of her cotton fields is
poured with a profuse hand into the pockets of
Northern people. And by these summer flights to
