OCEAN SPRINGS, MISSISSIPPI,
AN IDEAL WINTER RESORT.
This beautiful place, If about two
thousand inhabitants, is situated on
the line of the Louisville and Nash
willie Railroad, eighty-four miles from
the city of New Orleans and fifty
seven miles from Mobile, Ala. 1t is
one Of the most elevated sites along
the Mississippi Sound, and has a bay
frontage of four miles. Here, as at
the other gulf coast resorts, may be
found many beautiful villas used as
and winter residences by citi-
zcns of larger cities. The numerous
groves Of live oak, magnolia, pine and
cedar are seer everywhere about the
town, shading the yards. the streets
and avenues, Out in the bay, in front,
rests Deer Island, Two and a half
miles, where pleasure parties enjoy an
ideal picnic ground. On the north
side runs Fort Bayou, near which lies
the wonderful Marble springs, which
gives its name to the resort. The
springs are SAID to be impregnated'
with chalybeate properties, and to
contain a noticeable proportion of sui
phuretteG hydrogen. Scientific analy-
has shown them to be among the
most valuable Of American mineral
waters. The climate is exceedingly
mild ; the lie Conte pear, fig, ounce,
grape, pecan and strawberry are raised
equal in quality to those of Southern
and few sections of the
South afford equal advantages FOR
truck farming. The salt sea breezes
mixed with the resinous od0rs of pitch
pine have a remarkable tonic effect,
and act like a balm to weak lungs.
