A visit was paid To Magnolia ceme-

siop.ng rise, under the blooming mag
nOlas, several generations OF man
kind. Tender memories of hope
which lives beyond the present cover
the graves OF friends and dear ones.
Here, too, lie side by side those of the
North and those OF the South who once

reverence and depart, turning toward
the living.
Mobile has one of the finest harbOrs
on the southern coast and might be
made one of the best American sea-
ports. The docks and wharves are
commOdiOus and facilities for handling
freights are unsurpassed. The cars run
between and along the docks and large
warehouses, thereby doing away with
the necessity OF all transfers. The Gov
ernment has made appropriations from
time 10 time TO deepen the waterway
TO about twenty-slX feet, thus 10 allow
the largest ocean vessels TO enter. The
citizens also hope to secure the estab-
lishment OF the United States navy at
this point. If this is done the future
prosperity of the Gulf City isassured.
Mobile is one of the historic cities
Nearly all of its buildings are strong.
They are of the ancient style of archl-
lecture, with a wonderful growth of
foliage, trees, vines and flowers, and
many quaint "reminiscences Of days
gone by, which are IN every way attrac-
tive to strangers.
What this city needs is start in the
right direction. The people here have
not vet recovered from the effects of
the past, and are afraid to invest their
spare means. But once started, the
city and country is bound to come to
the front. There are already quite
number of Michigan people about here,
and more are coming.
Mobiles market is one of the best in
the world, containing all of the sub
stantials and delicacies of the season.
Fresh oysters, crabs, fish of every
variety, vegetables, fruits, tropical and
of home growth, berries of every yari
ETY., are abundant.

We have wound our way through the
dense groves of magnOlias, under the
oaks, pines, mulberrles, cotton, cucum-
ber trees, hemlOcks, the canOpics OF
Spanish moss, festOOned in every con-
celvable description, pictures which
have made impressions never to be for
gotten. We wonder that the people of
the North do not seek after these new
er-tlring sights, instead of going to the
tine far-Otf West for health and enjoy
ment. There j. no end to the natural
resorts of pleasure. One can branch
out from here IN almost any direction.
and pick fruit or berries, fish, hunt. or
sail and bathe. 1t is neither too warm
nor too cold to engage III any OF these
sports.
Mobile sits at the head OF its Bay,
and ut the foot whore great rivers meet
the gate of waters. Nature has done
It's part: all It needs Is for the people to
DO their part and Mobile Will grow into
the Queen city of the south. But We
cannot do justice, soon 'here we rest. -

heartfelt thanks to those who have
