l905-l906.
The Beautiful Sapphire Country.

To tine man whose imagination is
fed with facts and fortified with OBJ
servation, the southern portion of the
United State will always seem the
favorite child Of Omnipotence and its
handmai Practically every
resource that ministers to the wealth
and greatness of people has been
lavlshly placed within ITS borders.
Though the Creator of this full
tosCmed magnlticence dwells neither
here nor there-but everywhere--we
like, in all reverence. to call these
Southern States indeed Goods coun-

ICES h w, after material gifts had been
so generously bestowed, the designing
power completed its work by dotting
it literally with those imperative
auxiliaries OF modern civilization
resorts, summer ana winter. In the
case of the South these resorts have
proven not only protectors for our
people health; they are adding now
and they will add substantially IN the
future to our actual wealth
The Florida resorts need no detailed
eulogy at this date. They have won al
ready thousands of wealthy Northern
ers and Southerners from the lure of
the European spa or the call of the
Riviera. A more wonderful conquest,
and one which should interest the
entire South, is that of the radiant
Sapphire country, that Eden of the
North Carolina mountains, with which
the word "Toxaway' has become IN
separately identified. Its beauties and
its health compelling qualities have

can be arranged by the partnership

tar-reaching estate OF Toxaway com.
prises 81 900 acres, in which are more
than seventy.five miles of brook and
river fishing, yielding the gamest of
game trout. In the rugged recesses of
the estate there are deer, wild turkey
and ruffed grouse, with bears here and
there and occasionally quail, The three
lakes, like shimmering sapphires
splashed down in the heart of the
mountains, with the winding forest
roads, create indellble impressions of
the place.
With the opening of the winter
season Toxaway Inn-the greatest of
all the Toxaway resorts-announces
itself ready for business for the APP
preaching season after having COM
pleted the most successful summer
season known in the history of South

From this time on this institution
becomes not only a summer but a
winter resort, appealing to the South
i'm the summer and to the north in
winter. 1t IS on the direct line Of
travel from eastern and western points
OF Florida, and Manager Burrowes
has made every arrangement to catch
the business as 1t goes TO and comes
from Florida.
