 miles of the Gulf. Its delightful eii- mate furnishes sure safeguard against the bronchiai and pulmonary vo,,ng persons further north. Standing
 in the highlands which form the
 Southern trminus of the Appalachian system of mountains, it has an eleva- tion above the level of the sea that gives 1t an atmosphere of singular purity and perfect freedom from all
