ATLANTIC HOTEL, BEAUFORT, NORTH CAR
orIyA.-The proprietor OF this superb SURF
h,tbinc place calls it "the Long Branch OF
the South" We rather think he lowers
the dignity OF his establishment by this
name We think the surf-bath at Beaufort
is inferior to none other, and should rather
Give than borrow names from other places.
The ocean bath there is iaultleSS, the bot
tom hard and fine. and the broad waves
come M squarely and as high rs anybody
wants them and 70 out without an undertoW
that is dangerous. 1t is indescribably de-
IiobtfuI. Beaufort is q place that should
attract large southern custom. 1t is GER
taipIya place for saltwater luXurles ana
saltwater pleasures, together with 'poney
Dennipn,'' which the guests there are apt to
have an opportunity Of enjoying. See ad-
yertisemenl OF Dr.. g. X. BAGBY, proprietor.

highest OF the Alleghanies. but Just at the
above place they abound in bold and rare
scenery. Our southern travellers, when

the Catskils. They will find an amount OF
pleasure and satisfaction there which they
will not find in larger quantities, we are
bound to say. outside OF our own Virginia

upon the Atlantic in its ceaseless agitation,
