Tallahassee
Atlanta Constitution COrrespOn-
dent Tells Of Its Numerous
Attractions.

E. L. Parker, in the Atlanta Consti-
tuition. devotes more than a page OF
that paper in telling of the resources
Of Southwest Georgia and Middle
Florida and Of the probable results OF
the new railroad to be built from Apa-
lachicola to Atlanta. In this article
he tells Of Tallahassee, and among
other things says:
zone of the cities of this section
that never fails to interest new comersI
is Tallahassee, the capitol of Florida.
and in ante bellum days the most arts
tocratic town in all the Land OF
Flowers, j. aristOcracy means the
best people. as it most surely did for
merly. It is today an aristocratic com
munity, for it is here that the latch
string hangs on the outside OF the door
/ and all the people give you the come
/ back handshake and leave you more
/ impressed than ever with the feeling
( or general belief that man was made
for a social being, and not entirely
I for machine duty.
What the Name Suggests.
The very name of Tallahassee sug-
+ gests to the initiated the refinement
and culture that have characterized
the community through its entire his
tory. The city has cherished the
traditions Of Southern hospitality, and
is equally as famous for its delightful
society as for its natural beauty and
charm.
The capitol of Florida is delight
fully situated in the glorious hill eoun-
try of North Florida. In all the south
there is probably no more attractive
region. It's hills are covered Win
forests of pine, magnolia and oak,
and with orchards of peaches and
pears. Between these hills nestle
lakes Of exquisite beauty, tempered
in the warmer weather by cool breeZes
from the gulf. From the circle OF
hills on which the city is most plctur-
esuuely situated can be enjoyed panO
ramic views in the surrounding coun-
try. In addition to its beauty, rms
region is equally noted for its health
fulness.
Florida Female College.
. Among all the towns Of Florida
there is none more charming or better
, adapted for the location OF female Coz
leges than Tallahassee, and the leg
. islature made no mistake in selecting
this city for seat Of the State Femalc
College. The excellent supply Of pure
water here. the highly moral status
of the community and the uneXcelled
climate. in which parents and pupils
from the north may escape the rigorS
of the northern winter, appealed
strongly in Tallahsssee's favor wher
the 1906 session of the legislature dc
cided to abolish all the higher insti
tutions of learning and establish in
? leu thereof the Florida Female Ccl
lege and the State University, and enc
, capitol city won. The latter, for men
is located at Gainesville, and is head
ed by Prof. Sledd, formerly OF Emory
College. The Florida Female College
Is presided over by President Alder
A. Murphree, formerly president %
I the Florida State College. One of thI
members of President Murphree's fac
! ulty is Miss Madaline Keipp, formerly
, director of music and teacher d
+, piano in Lucy Cobb, Athens, Ga, fol
! ten years.
! THE campus of the Florida Female
College is situated on a hill in ta'
western suburbs of Tallahassee. Th'
sides and summit of the hill are beau
tilted with a picturesque growth o
pine and oaks, in the midst of whicl
= the college buildings are situated. Z
: broad avenue, lined with majestic
d oaks. forms the approach from tn
{ center Of the city to the main entranc
! TO the campus. No more beautiful
or more heathful situation than tai
: could be desired or found in this el
tire region of country. To the sOut
y and west of the campus stretches
Il Danorama of green-clad hills ar
sparkling lakes-a view in itself resi-
full to the eye and inspiring to II
