To the Editor q the F1oanrAx.
| cannot resist (nor do wish toy the
impulse to write you short letter from
81. Teresa, where am now for few
days.
Leaving Tallahassee and arriving at
St Marks snd coming over on the Walk
atomlca is pleasant trip. The captain
OF the steam. L is an affab'e and pleasant
man, who does all he can to make the
trip agreeable, and l must not forget
"Uncle Billy" the cook; with his broad
smile he takes care of-himself.
Arriving at ST. TeresA, was met by
the hotel porter and soon found myself
at the hotel, Where number of fri nds
greeted me. Foremost among them was
Miss Cameron, the lady in charge of the
hotel. MI Bl ,ckwell knew what he was
doing when he asked and secured her.
Pleasant to all, she does all she can for
tine plea ure and co Mort of her guests.
In fact, the hotel W uld not be the charm.
ing place it is if she were not here. The
hotel is ihree-story building, painted
white, nice looking huildiog. On it's
broad piazzas, with pleasant compan-
ion, and famed by the cool breezes of the
gulf, one can fancy themselves on some
fairy isle, where all is sunshine, peace
and love.
The weather has been charming. We
have only few at the hotel, but that
few is merry, congenial crowd, and
have only pleasant words and kind
thoughts for each other Our gentlemen
are not many but we are sati-fed.
Among our young ladies he one most adj
mired is Miss Writ hrop. She is standing
with relucta It feet where the brook and
river meet With an amiable, sweet dis
position kind and consile to every
one, no matter what their station. Evi-
IDENTITY she believes that "kind hearts are
more than coronets," her motto mo
blesse oblige," can it be wondered at that
she is a favOrite? Then we have little
Miss p, charming brunette All of our
young ladies' seem determined to make
the summer br,gh happy one.
Sailing is pastime which we all enjoy.
This afternoon merry party went out in
the Maud NJ, nice boat belonging to The
hotel. Swimming like a bird over the
water we soon found ourselves near Tur
key Poii t. Seeing a cloud coming which
threatened us W til wettrg, our good
Captain Phillips turned our face home
ward, and like the ''dove on the mast
did mourn and mourn and mourn. An
other party went grabbing and another
fishing, and me in with quantities of
both. Oysters. too we. have, fresh and
nice. In fact, the table is al that can be
desired, and everything at the hotel is
comfortable.
The cottages are filled with agreeable
people. Mrs Gamble has house Iull
and they all seem happy and pleased.
AS | wife there is dance going on in
the dining room of the hotel can hear
the merry laughter of the young pc pile
Ginning with the jolly music Miss c.
presi'!es at the piano.
A ma k ball is in contemplation, which
promises no end of fun
/ almost forgot t. tell you about the
bathing, which old and young enjoy. A
dip in the deep blur sea- (Which, by The
way looks queer down here,) before
breakfast gives one an appetite and
braces them up for the day.
If we c,n only get our railroad St Te-
resa will become a popular resort for
Georgia as well as Florida p 'ople. Let
us hope we will have it
Among the late arrivals are Mrs
Mi'chell, Mrs Reed and children Mr. and
Mrs P w Wilson, Mr. II trtt and Master
Mario Chaires. This week we expect
a number from Thomasvilie and Ta'l4has-
see. hope you will not throw this let
ter in the waste basket, but give it space
in your paper, which we look eagerly for
each week.
We have popular man in the office,
who looks dignifi ed but does not brighten
our coy maidens.
AS look way out over the waters blue
wonder what the future will bring to
us. Who was it said life is a wayside
inn, and each one should be contented
with the room to which he is allotted"
can wish for nothing better for all my
companions here in ST. Teresa than con-
teniment
