Best Place to Spend the
Summer Time.

The Tampa Times says: The sum-
mer Fittings. which have been 50
numerous during the past few weeks,
have almost alto yether ceased, and
almost the only people now leaving
the city are those who so to enjoy a
brief vacation and escort their wives
and families back 10 the city. Within
a few weeks more cooler weather will
have set in and Tampa will be in the
midst Of a winter season which prom
ises to be the gayest, most lively and
most successful in her history. Per
haps a larger number Of Tampa peO-
pie have gone north or to the mouC,
tains this summer than ever before,
although not so many in proportion
as during previous years, owing to our
increased population. Tampa has
been well represented at all of the
leading resorts. both north and sOut ,
and Tampa tourists have gone all over
the United States spreading the fame
Of our city and her beauties of eli
mate and surroundings.
Unaka Springs, Tenn, has been a
popular resort with Tampa people THIS
season, as many of our prominent res.
idents formerly lived In that section.
and at one time the Tampa colony at
the resort numbered no less than
thirty people. Other Tennessee r..
sorts and towns have also had a num-
Der of visitors from Tampa.
Hot Springs, Ark. has as usual been
popular, and a number OF our leading
families have according 10 custom
spent part Of the summer at the re-
sort.
The mountains Of North Carolina
have always been in favor with Tam
pa people and not less so this sum
mer than usual Many have summer
ed at Asheville, Waynesville and Hen
Jacksonville, while those with tastes
which prompted them to seek less
crowded resorts have found fresh al
and chickens in little hooks of he
mountains. DR.. and Mrs. II. T. Lykes
have entertained a number of Tampa
friends at their pretty summer home,
Golden Rod near WaynesYille.
Georgia, Alabama, Virginia and the
northern states have received their
share of visits, while many Tampaites
have found refugees from the heat by
going into Canada.
The west. which until lately has no,
been well known and appreciated is
every year becoming more popular
here. and this summer Texas, CalifOr-
MIA and Colorado received a quota OF
summer visitors. Quite a number Wis
tied Portland Ore, and were present
at the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
While quite a number of Tampa
people sought their summer pleasures
in the resorts of the mountains and
the far north, not a few remained in
Florida and Jared as well as anyone
White Springs, Clearwater, Sarasota,
and other Florida resorts were owe =
flowed with visitors from Tampa,
while hundreds of Tampa people spent
the summer or portions of il at Green
Springs, just just across Tampa Bay
Florida is in summer the equal Of
almost any resort IN the United States
and a citizen of Tampa can remain at
home. enjoy cool evenings and good
health. amusing himself by short ex-
cursiOns down the coast or upon the
waters near Tampa. This fact is be-
ing realized and while Tampa on ac-
count Of her increased population
sends every yer a larger number OF
tourists north. a greater proportion OF
her citizens stay in Florida and enjoy
themselves.
