THE OLD AND THE NEW
The Charms and Attractions
Down by the Sea.
The Atlantic Hotel Mostly New. But the Sea
and The South and the Cool Winds
Are The Same.

The old patrons of the Atlantic Hotel
al Morehead Will hardly know the place
when they get there this summer Of
course, old ocean will be there flashing
away at the golden beach, the same
as for the past ages The same turbulent
blue mountains will be bursting into
showers CT silvery spray along the miles
Of sandy breakers; the same breezes float
ing in on the flowing and receding tide.
Will fan away care, WEAKNESS and tired
feeling; the same myriads of liCCid lyr.c
viii sing along on the surface Of the
sound; the same surging and breaking
and bounding surf will wrap itself around
the thousands Of merry bathers: the same
fleet OF sharpies viii glide over the
placid blue waters and along the break
ing vibrating. oscillating sea; the same
gladators Of the sea. the blue fish, the
Spanish mackrel, the sheep head and
others of the gamest CT the finny tribe
will go to battle with the angler and
surrender only after the liveliest and
most exciting combats; the same moon
will glimmer and CLEAN and make spark
ling gems out of the myriads of briny
ocean ripples; the same gentle winds will
play over the sea and lull TO repose the
summer sojourners.
But with all this there will be a
change. The famous old Atlantic stands
in the same place, but newly attred for
the first season of the new century, new
paint. inside and outside, newly arranged
suites of rooms. new upholstering. new
plumbing new comforts and conveniences

painted a snow white typical of the beauty
that gathers there. season in and season
out. The new hotel management is the
best in the South the Scovilles whose very
names are synonymous with the most su-
perb and the most elegant hotel enter
tanment. from one end Of the country to
the other. These things are all attrac-
lions. and our beautiful seacoast summer
city is within itself a great attraction.
The Atlantic's every endowment is
charming and delightful. No wonder it
draws to it each and every season thou
sands of the South's most popular and
charming people.
When the May days come we naturally
begin thinking about Morehead As the
! summer approaches we begin dreaming
Of its delights and we begin preparing TO
go hither and frequently grow anxious
before the season begins. We must be
pardoned for writing of it in a happy vein.
for the very thought Of a week or II
month al Morehead has inspiration in it.
The season is going to be great and
glorious this summer. The names of
Messrs. Barbce and the managers, Messrs.
Scoville, know this, for hundreds of let
