ing Chattanooga we came into
Georgia at the northwest corner,
and traversed the state in a dag
onal direction, coming out at the
southeast corner. All day long
we passed through a very poor and
unproductive looking country. the
home of the typical southern
negro. Their houses, if they may
be called llouses-small. squalid
cabins, with one room and a chin
ney, and n great many have no
windows. The pine of a CONNER.
cial size has all been cut down
and sawed up. This leaves the
ground quite bare of trees. The
people are farming this exhausted
soil in the most primitive fashion
conceivable. Their feeble attempt
to grow cotton, the only evidence
OF a crop that l could see, is very
unproductive.
However, there are some very
nice cities in Georgia. Atlanta.
the principal city, is the distribut-
ing point for a great part of the
south, and quite a railroad center.
with a. great many factories of
different kinds.
After having a whole day of
negro scenes through Georgia, ]
arrived in Jacksonville, Florida.
IN the evening, and spent a few
days here in resting up from the
trip. There is nothing here of
any particular interest. The next
stop was at St. Augustine, the old
est city In the United States.
1t was on Sunday that our
train was passing through Georgia
and all of the colored people of a
religious turn of mind, were at
Sunday school at some point along
the route in n whitewashed school
house. AT every point they would
rush out to see the train 90 past.
Their turnouts were old broken
down carts and buggies, with one
old mule and harness of wire. rope.
rags, and all the old straps they
can find. The whole scene re-.
minds IL of the late comic song:
Everybody works but father,
And he sits around all day
With his feet before the fire
Smoking his pipe of clay.
Mother takes in washings.
And SO does sister Ann.
Everybody works at our house
But my old man"
1t is n very interesting plac e
You may ramble in the quaint.
narrow streets, with their over
hanging balconies, and dream of
the fierce love affairs and fercer
quarrels which ebbed and flowed
here in the old days. You may
SIT III the old cathedral, the oldest
place of worship in America, and
conJure up a thousand fancies of
the people who worshiped here
when all Florida was a Kings do
main; or you have but to stroll a
block to come within range of the
strains of music, the whirl of
dancers and the splash of foun-
'ains which typify life and enjoy-
mept.

tributed to make confinement
there in the old days a nameless
terror. The city is protected
from the constant wearing effect
| of the Atlantic ocean by a sea
wall, and has been termed "The
City by the Sea WALL The top
of it makes a popular promenade;
the visitor can see many things of
interest, includingthe old museum,
the slave market, the plaza, the
narrowest street in the city, and
other old landmarks.

tells, there being something like
81, all large ones, and some of
them are veritable palaces, such
rs the Ponce de Leon und Alca-
Ear, owned and managed by the
Florida East Coast r. R. Co.
They also have several other mag
%niicent hotels, such IS the Or
mond, at Ormond, the Royal
Pornciana and Breakers at Palm
Beach: also the Royal Palm, here
at Miami, IL of the largest hotels
in the United States.
The grounds surrounding these
hotels are simply beautiful. Tall
cocoanut palms, all bearing fruit;
graceful royal palms, that sway in
the breeze, and hundreds of other
trees and flowers of a tropical
growth.
Miami is easily the queen of
winter climates in the United
States. The sun shines most every
day, and there is no fog. 1t "a
. get quite hot in the sun, but al
ways cool and pleasant in the
shade. The heat is always tenn
pered by a refreshing breeze that
blows in from the ocean. Miami
is not not on the ocean proper,
but on Bay Biscayne, one of the
most beautiful bays in the world.
The tripical trees, fruits AMI flow
ers in February are hard things
for a %northerner to realise, more
especially the bathing in the surf,
which is INDUCED IN every day in
the winter. l am a frequent par
ticipator in this myself.
This is the fsherman's paradise.
All kinds of fish abound in great
numbers awaiting the anglers
hook. i was one of a party of six
that went out on the ocean about
20 miles fishing the other day.
We trolled for king fish and
caught 70, weighing from 10 to 30
pounds each. When you hook
one Of these monsters onto $50
feet Of line and your yacht is going
at full speed (asi it never stops, but
=, just moves back and forth over the
fishing ground,) you have some
thing to do to haul him in, hand
over hand. Three people fish all
at one time from the rear end of a
yacht and not infrequent all three
will hook II different fish at the
same time, then there is much Y
citement in getting them in.
We also fished for shark, and
hooked one but could not land
him. ] thought it lots of sport to
fish for trout in our mountain
streams of Wyoming, but this
ocean fishing beats it a mile.
Will leave here in a week for a
trip into the country away from
the coast, to Eustis and Sanford.
Expect TO return to Jacksonville
Wy steamer down the Ocklawaha
and st. Johns river. These river
journeys are very pleasant, aud
so many of the Florida rivers are
navigable for quite a distance and
are broad and deep. The tropical
growth on either bank is very
dense; palms and vines of all
kinds with great live oak trees
that grow out over the water.

MoNEHs CULTURE Club.

1t was our pleasure to attend
the reception given by the
Ruston progressive league to the
business men of Monroe. They
entertained at a luncheon given
under the auspices of the
Women's Culture Club. We were
much impressed with the sur
roundings and the thought
occurred to US, What a nice
thing this would be for us to have
in WINFIELD. Our ladies have
organized a chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy
and the scope in the way of
entertaining and improving the
social conditions is very great s;
the only drawback to that organ
ization's taking the place of all
that is intended by the culture
club would be that, many good
and worthy ladies would be
barred on account of not having
the qualifications of a Daughter of
the Confederacy. but that can be
obviated by the members of the
chapter forming themselves into
a culture club as an adjunct to
the other.

Vernon Correspondence.

Vernon, La, June 6.-Times
have been right interesting in and
around the old town of Vernon
the past three weeks. The grand
jury was in session here for ten
days and reported forty-three
bills of indictment. Court also
convened after the grand jury
had been in session for a week,
and held session for a period of
nine days and adjourned, after
having disposed of the largest
docket ever before at one sitting.
The s'bootlcggers' were dug up
from the unknown sections OF
the Parish, brought forth and
made to pay heavy fines and costs
of the court, with a promise that
they would get the full benefit of
the law should they come before
it again for the same offense.
Lawyers from Ruston, Monroe,
Columbia and WINFIELD, La,
and Little Rock, Ark, were here
in attendance. District Attorney
Grisham of this district proved
himself to be y great prosecutor
during the past session of court.
With the lines in his possession
it is difficult for q defense to
outwit him. Even Mr.. Bernstein
of Monroe, who the people of
jackson resort to for strong de-
Tense, was to some extent out
witted by our Mr.. Grisham du-

jackson parish is trying . new
system of working her public
roads by taxation. letting out the
roads on contract by the ward at
$1,000 per mile. The road funds
are derived through q license of

the parish, per capita tax on
each and every male person
between the ages Of Is and s.
years not otherwise exempted,
also two. mills on the dollar
assessed on real estate and per-
sonal property in the parish.
which is made . part Of the
parish budget. The specifications
for the building of the road.are
very exacting but we learn that,
with few exceptions, the con-
tractors are meeting the require
ments.
The Police Jury has arranged
to have the parish convicts
worked on the road, the parish
furnishing the necessary fixtures
to bind and hold them and the
contractor furnishing = good
bond for the payment of the
fines, paying SO much per month
to the PARISH for their services,
till the fine or bond is paid.
