The Quiet Little Town to be Again In
vaded by surveyors.
ST.. MARY's, GA, July 20.-Perhaps a
few notes from quiet old st. Mary's may be
Of interest. At any rate feel inclined to
let the world know that there Is life in the
old town yet, albeit the lack OF business and
the Sabbath-like quiet that usually reigns
in our streets would indicate the contrary.
We are about to be again invaded by the
railroad prospector nun1b ers OF whom have
visited our town, and after expatiating on
its beauty, Its fine harb Dor, its deep water and
its wonderful possibilities as q railroad ter
minus, ETC., have vanished, alas! never to
return. This time 10 is the Florida Central
and Penlnsurlar which has the surveying
corps in the field. They are now located at
this place, and are buslly engaged in max
ing surveys in the surrounding country
As already stated in the NEWS this line
will start at or near Harris Road in Florida,
run along the coast to Brunswick, thence to
Savannah, where it will connect with the
South Bound. The line at present being
surveyed crosses the st. Mary's at this
place and opens up a very interesting and
beautiful section Of country.
The Camden County Teachers Institute
is in session here this week. Quite a nun.
Der of teachers are In attendance. Prof.
McNabb OF Byron, Ga. . will direct the nor
NAL exercises, and Prof. L. B. Robson will
give special instructions in the use of the
newly-adopted text books issued by CHM
& Co., which firm he represents.
Capt. Richardson has lately erected a
Single mill, and will shortly begin the
manufacture Of shingles. Tnis is step in
the right direction.
Political talk has Quieted down since
Turner's victory. Our citizens, almost to a
man, voted for him, aRd We arc we'll salts

doubt but our county will yet furnish
senator acceptable TO the
district, as we have number
of stanch democrats in our midst. The
young men Of the county have organized a
democratic club for the purpose of assimilat-
ing the different elements in orr midst aud
bringing about harmony. The members
are actively and earnestly engaged aud we
may expect a grand democratic victory in
November
Several excursions have been given this
season to various points in our vicinity. A
most charming trip is to take the little
steamer Martha and after an hours ride
land at Dungeness, stroll over to the beach
and have a dip in the ocean. Wereturn In
time for supper, which we eat with sharp
ened appetites, and retire TO sleep like a
baby after our wrestle with old Neptune.
There Is no reason why, wither greater
facilities of travel, ST. Mary's should not
become an ideal summer resort. With a
climate that is unsurpassed, sulphur water,
salt water bathing and delightful sea
breezes, it is the spot for broken down men
Of business aud nervous invalids. For til $50
who enjoy such things, there are games
OF tennis. boating, fishing, etc, while our
grassy streets, shaded by grand live oaks,
invite to quiet strolls. We have daily com-
munication with FernandIna, Fla. by
steamer, but we need railroad facilities to
bring our town into the prominence 1t de-
serves. In the meantime, we enjoy life in
this, the coolest, greenest and prettiest place
In Southeast Georgia.
