inducements for Tourists.

To induce tourists from the East,
North and West to visit Florida and
other Southern resorts, each year the
Southern Railway undertakes to do a
little more than in previous years to
make the resorts of Florida and the
South more attractive to the people of
the East, North and West and this season
have put in service the best tourist
trains that have ever been operated in
the South.
The first of these trains established is
"The Chicago & Florida Special" first
trip Southbound, January 9Th, 1908.
This train will have through sleepers
from Chicago, Pittsburg, Cleveland, De-
troit, Cincinnati and Louisville and are
run through to ST. Augustine in very
quick time. Train will consist of very
best Pullman cars, dining cars and club
cars, etc. Between Chattanooga, Tenn,
and Jacksonville, Florida, there will be
also provided on this train a first-class
coach, which will be of much accommo-
dation to travel between Chattanooga,
Atlanta, Macon and Jacksonville. The
train will only stop at Rome, Atlanta
and Macon.
Northbound: This train will leave
ST. Augustine s.15 a. M; jacksonville,
8 20 a. M; pass Atlanta, $40 p. M; ar
rive at Cincinnati next morning, at
whichpoint the sleeping cars diverge to
various lines reaching Chicago, Detroit.
Cleveland, Pittsburg, the same afternoon
This "Chicago l& Florida Special" was
inaugurated by the Southern Railway
two seasons ago, but this season the
train will be better than ever before, and

tofore, they going to Mexico, California,
etc.
The Southern Railway also operates
a train known as the "Florida Limited. !"
which ia through train from Cincinnati
to st. Augustine. Schedule time of
train between Cincinnati and Jackson
vile is twenty,four hours. The run
made in an hour. This train has
through sleeper from Cincinnati to St.
Augustine, Chicago TO st. Augustine
via Louisville, Kansas City to Jackson
vile via Memphis, Birmingham and
Atlanta.
Northbound: This train will leave
st. Augustine at 6.10 p. m.; Jackson
vile, 7.45 p. M; arrive Atlanta next
morning; arrive at Cincinnati same
From the East the Southern Railway
will establish first trip SouGhbound,
January 18th, 1908, their famous "Palm
Limited" which is probably the finest
tourist train in the world. This train
southbound will leave New York (daily
except Sunday 1910 noon; arrive Jack
sonville 2.2O p. m; arrive at st. Angus
tine $50 p. m.
Northbound: This train will leave st.
Augustine daily except Sunday lilo
q. M; Jacksonville, 12 20 p. m. arrive
New York 4.13 p. m.
The "Palm Limited" in addition to
double daily service, Is operated all year
round between New York and Jackson
vile via Sou thern Railway. 1t is hard
to describe the magnifcence of these
special Florida trains as run by the
Southern Railway; about all that can
be said of them is, that they are com
posed of the finest cars that the Pull
man company can build.

Reflections for the New Year.

The year nineteen hundred and
two has gone, and with it have gone
all its opportunities, and things that
were possible have been rendered
impossible. Reader, has the past
year been successful one with you ?
Have you accomplished as much as
you should? In other words, are
you satisfied with the results of last
year? Has the good you have done
equalled the amount Of air you have
breathed, the water you have drank
the food you have taken? If not
your life has not been a success, in
asmuch as you have not produced a
fair profit for the amount of Divine
goodness and mercy bestowed upon
you. In summing up the business
of the old year, you have found
yourself bankrupt.
The past year has been one OF
plenty, and every industry seems to
be in a state of great prosperity
The crops have been better than for
many years past. We have been
wonderfully blessed by a merciful
Heavenly Father who doeth all
things well. If we had done our
part as well and as faithfully as God
has done His, the world could not
contain the glorious results.
Have you made failure in bust
ness? No doubt, some of you have
had difficulties to contend with-diffi-
culties which got the advantage OF
you. AS look around at the accom-
plishments of others, | cannot help
lamenting the mistakes of my own
life. But am going to try to live
more for my country, and take Gill
lan's line for motto:
"O-live thy life for the living,
AS the dead have lived for you"
but IL ls not my purpose to dwell
too much on the past. Let us turn
to the new year and see if we can
get glimpse of what is in store for
us. We are leaving the old year be-
hind with its trials and difficulties,
but that does not mean that we are
leaving behind us all lfe's' sorrow
The year we are just entering will
doubtless bring an equal amount OF
trouble.
This is the time for making reso-
lutions, both good and bad. These
resolutions are very easy made, and
would be as easy kept if we would
just go about it in the right way.

An 0ssified Woman.

Rome, N. Y, December 30.-Miss
Stella Ewing, one of the ossifed
women who for ten years have been
living wonders to physicians and
scientists, died to-day, aged 30 years.
At an early age she was afflicted with
inhammatory rheumatism, which ply
sicians failed to relieve. At the age
of rs she lost the use of her limbs
and eminent specialists said she was
gradually turning to stone. During
the last ten years of her life Miss
Ewing was totally blind and unable
to move muscle. A sister, Mrs.
Emma Ewing Palmer, is afflicted in
the same manner.

A Southern Cane for Roosevelt.

Jas. Atkinson,.a "a negro of Rome, Ca,
has sent walking cane, carved by him
sell, to President Roosevelt for New
Years gift. On the cane, which is a
rather large one, are 1O3 images. Twelve
OF the images are of people and num-
Der of them are good likenesses. These
images begin at the top of the cane and
include George Washington, President
Roosevelt, Queen Victoria, Mrs. Ida Me-
Kipley, widow of the late President, and
Christ on the cross. There are Is fowls,
dogs and 6 houses on the cane. The
other images include butterfly, honey
bee, house fly, bear, OK, hare, monkey,
chair, pot, ak, hand and balance, cannon,
small guns, ship, flags, horn, s
shrubs, pocket knife, sea dog, pig,
goat, reindeer head, mules head, sword,
shoe, book, turtle, giraffe, fish, rose,
three links, insignia of Odd Fellows,
chipmunk, sleeps head, squirrel, Ma
sonic badge, heart, star, moon, umbrella,
6 figures letters, snake and rope. The
images are we'll carved. How long At
kinson was engaged in carving the cane
is not known, but probably many months.
He sent along the knife with which he
did the work-an ordinary knife that
would cost about 25 cents. Atkinson is
an ex-slave and was born in Georgia.

1t may be that you will not enter

1t may be that you will not enter
upon the duties of this year under
the same condition that you began
last year. Maybe some of your
loved ones have passed away during
the year. Many sorrowing hus.
band starts out upon the duties of
1908 without that sweet, gentle
helpmate who has cheered and en-.
couraged him for so many years.
Many a poor woman looks out upon
the bleak Indifferent world and real.
ICES the need of the strong arm
Of her husband, which has for 80
many years been the means of her
support, but which is now numb in
the clay. Her dear little ones are to
be clothed, fed, educated-all by her
own efforts. Many boys who read
this will, perhaps, feel the need of
that dear mother who has counselled
them and kissed their cheeks on 30
many New Years Days, and TO
whom they have made 80 man Y
promises. Young men, have these
! promises been keptP If not, think
OF the matter seriously, and at this
season of good resolutions resolve to
live that noble life and to do those
noble deeds for which she has so
often prayed. The fact that this is
your first New Years Day without
her counsel and her prayers ought to
animate you to greater zeal in carry.
ing out her wishes. These thoughts
should prompt US to always be kind
to those we have with us, for
"When the flowers bloom again
Some OF us may not be here;
Earthly prospects all are vain,
Changers written everywhere"
Marguret A. Richards verse will be
very appropriate here:
"Consider the dear ones
Residing with you,
And strive unto each
Full duty to do"
Life is serious thing. 1t seems a
very short time from one New Years
Day to another. The years are
passing rapidly by, and we should
exert every nerve to do our part of
the work of upbuilding the world.
Time used to appear to me in a
different light to what it does now.
1t seems only few days since I was
little boy in knee bree ches, but
am now thrown out into the world
to "shift" for myself.
There were days of my youth that |
like to recall,
Which furnished the gayest pleasure
and bliss;
Aud hereafter I'll count them the dearest
of all,
When parents bent over me each night
for a kiss"
In conclusion l will say, may the
old Courier continue it's course of
p 'osperity and usefulness. Wish n :
all its readers happy New Year,
am very truly, Rhett Doyle.
