After breakfast at Brunswick we
boarded the City of Brunswick and
steamed away Observation-Disclosures,
where we arrived about noon and
were taken charge of by Mr.. Lee T.
Shackelford, manager of the hotel.
NJ. Coney, in the woman's edition
of the Times Advertiser, writes as
follows of this famous resort:
"rhe picturesque beauty and ocean
scenery of grand old Cumberland-for
who would not like TO proclaim its
grandeur, that mad stood in the early
morn on the cleaning sand of its
broad beach and watched the carmine
streak tinge the eastern sky at the
waters edge, and see that water blush,
as a huge, fiery, golden sun comes ma.
Iestlcally up and turns the sea into o
flaming liquid topaz. And ut night
the wind whispers new songs of com.
tort from over the salt seas, and the
scene becomes equally impressive.
The sea bathing is fine sport and one
OF the greatest health tonics in the
world"
Here, for the first time, we were
unshackled and allowed to do as we
pleased. We first pleased to enjoy
one of Mr.. Shackelford's splendid
dinners then we pleased to go to
the beach for Il surf bath, the first
(saIt water bath many of us had
ever taken. That evening we were
given an elaborate banquet which
was followed by ball in the pavil.
ion. Saturday, as the guests of Mr.,
Shackelford, we we're taken by boat
to Dungeness, the palatial winter
home of Mrs. Thomas Casnegie.
Here We strOllcd over the front yards,
containing about fourteen thousand
acres of land beautifully laid out
with drives and dotted with all kinds
of tropical plants. On this estate
is the grave of Light Horse Harry
Lee, father of Gen. Robert E. Lee;
also the grave of the widow of Ma
thanlel Green, of Revolutionary
fame. The palace was next visited
and reminded some of us so much
of our homes that we were made
homeslck. Returning to the hotel
we enjoyed a turtle hunt on the
beach by moonlight and captured a
small one that weighed only 275
pounds, Sunday. we enjoyed the
ocean ride to Frederick as described
above and Monday we bid Mine
f Host Shackelford and his delightful
, all the year round resort a sad
} goodbye and started on our return
journey, arriving at Macon, Ga,
Tuesday morning, Here we were
: royalty entertained. Our stay in
l Macon is best told by the Macon
Telegraph as follows:
. Macon belonged to Tennessee yester.
!, day. The Georgia Southern train
= scheduled to arrive at 4 O'Clock with
the Tennessee Press Association d;:1
not arrive until 6, but this made nc
+ difference, as it was more pleasant rid
i. ing than remaining in the hot sleepers
e in the depot awaiting the arrival Of
t the reception committee. At { 40 the
r reception committee, consisting OF the
+. following gentlemen met the Tenne,
y scans at the depot and escorted them
