Sails and Card Parties-A Pleasant
Crowd and Delightful Sea Breeze.
,Norehead City, n. c., July 21.-(Spe-
cial)-This delightful summer resort long
famous for its invigorating sea breezes
and seaside pleasures has been restored
this season through the splendid manage
ment of DR.. Blackwell to the enviable
reputation it bore throughout the South
back in the eighty's. The high water
mark of summer time prosperity has been
reached. For the first time in many
seasons every available room in the great
Atlantic Hotel has been filled. People
are here from Georgia, Alabama, far-a-
way Arkansas and from nearly every
other Southern and Southwestern State.
This resort was once well-known and
patronized by citizens Of nearly every
State South of the Mason and Dixon
line, but other places sprang up and
claimed large share of its patrons. rms
sea son, however, Morehead has regained
it's old popularity and the fact is at
tested by the office register.
Once here DR.. Blacknall spares no
pains to make the visitors stay one of
continual pleasure and enjoyment. The
rooms are nicely kept, the table has
never been better, and polite and atten-
tive walters and servants who seem
to have ever in mind the comfort OF
the guests are very much in evidence.
Card parties. sails and dances, troll
ing. stiN-fshing and surf-bathing make
the days pass quickly and pleasantly.

cessful germans of the season was CIV
