town and surrounding country lie sandy

after the heaviest rains the streets aud
walks are dry and flee from mud. The
prevailing south winds are delightful
in the summer, and the large belt Of
timber lands on the north of town af.
fefds a fine shelter from the uorthers
in the winter. The nights are iuvari-
ably cool the year round. South OF

land, which Is admirably suited to be
