lOme and gone by the score, the war Of
ol2, Mexican war and Civil war have
taken place, and vet that gun lies
there on the beach, strange link con-
meeting the past and the present.
The legend goes that 1t was from a
pirate craft that sent a boat ashore to
rob an Old Spanish home and was cap
tured there; but II. true history no one
knows, but | lean TO the legend as the
truth.
There is lake, or lagoon, back of
Point Clear mile, - deep that no
bottom has been found in places, and
Us average depth is forty feet.
Below, in the clear water, trees
covered with no moss, are seen grow
ing up from the bottom, ones boat
literally sailing over the trcc-tOps.
And right here Is the fsherman's FL
dorado.
Down the crescent shore of the bav
from Point Clear Is the pretty home of
Captain Graham Stone, an old naval
officer, and later q commander on the
Confederate vessel Of war, Florida,
where be won distinction.
Here, too, was the home of the late
Admiral Semmes, of the Alabama"
fame.
File river is p remarkable, double
stream, for 1t has two "prongs," deep,
clear, and with fou3gc-clad. moss hung
banks that are Wclrdly beautiful and

mometer seldom rises to ninety, or falls
below forty-iive, and It's healthfulness
IS phenomenal, the average OF deaths
10 the thousand in the county being as
low as three per year, while Mobile, a
city remember of over fifty thousand
has only per ccntage per annum OF
sixteen 10 the thousand of population.
This is record hard 10 equal for
hcalthfulncss.
No case OF yellow fever has been
known N Mobile for years, and ltncver
originates there, while IN Baldwin
county 1t Is never known.
There Is ample water power IN
Baldwin for mills and factories, and a
Mobile Is certain to become the metro
polls of the gulf. n large trade must
grow up here with South American,
West Indian and Mexican ports.
Land j. dirt cheap; lands for country
homes, farms, timber and fruit grow
ing, and the forests are filed with
woods of various kinds, cypress,
juniper, cedar, pine, oak, ash, gum,
beech, hickory, walnut, spruce, sour
wood, etc, etc.
Among the recent visitors at Point
'ltdfs iI'ih your rPtiItn ol country
may mention Prof. {. G.. Swensherg,
president OF the Valley City Milling
Company, and William y. Rowe, the
manager Of the comDany.
Both of these gentlemen are ON a

And yet Baldwin county is sparsely
settled. with Il few summer hamlcts
along the shores across the bay from
Mobile, Howards, Daphne, Montrose,
Battles and Point Clear, with an ancient
settlement further down the coast. Bon
LecOurs. and Magnolia, Il retreat where
a number OF Chicago people have found
refuge from the severe winters of the

Magnolia was founded by o. s. Lv-

gathering about him number of
friends, who are building homes amid
the Magnolia forests, on the banks of a

THE BAR MEETING.

The bar of Hennepin county yester-
day succeeded in making spectacle of
itself. The meeting held to voice all
expression concerning the judgeship
appointments amounted to nothing.
Those whose purpose it is to prevent an
honest expression succeeded in their
object, and only an informal ballot, on
which many voted without clear
understanding, was taken. There
pandemonium reigned," to use an ex-
preston that is generally applicable to
meetings held at Harmonic hall. The
governor is as much in the dark as to
whom the lawyers of Hennepin want
as ever, and if he does not suit the ma
jority in his appointment-for there is a
decided preference as to candidates
the attorneys are themselves to blame.
