NOVEL CURES FOR SNORING.

The only easy way is to tackle them

Gay.

In November, 1884 a. j. Gay, of
Blakely, Ga, with his family moved
to the location on North Bay where
he has since resided. That was the
start of the settlement since known
as Gays, and named officially by the
United States Post Office Department
Gay, upon the inauguration of the
post office there September 18th,
1895. Mrs A. j. Gay was then APP
pointed pOstmistress and has held
the office ever since, and that there
has never been a complaint regarding
the office tells the story of how faith
fully she has attended to the same.
When Mr. GAY settled on North Bay
there were not a large number of
people in that section. a Mr. Long
and his son Ira lived on Mill
bayou; Mr. Ellison at the mouth of
Mill bayou; Seth Osborne opposite
Mr. GAYS; the widow Crawford, since
married to Mr. Fuller, on Betty bayou;
John Stephens on the same bayou;
William Padgett where L. c. Gay now
lives; John Scott on the DR.. Booth
place; Stephen W. Anderson and
family, and Henry and Issac Ander-
son, on Tanning bayou; \ Creamers
family, the father of which was a
preacher, lived on Tanning and New
man bayou; Mr. Kent opposite the
mouth of bayou George; and William
Brooks on Cedar creek.
Mr. Gay was then as he is now, an
energetic man, and soon was plan
ming such lines of business as could be
done in that section at that time. In
1885 he began the erection of the first
saw mill on the bay after the war. 1t
was located at Grassy Point, and was
that far completed as to begin cutting
lumber in July of that year. This
mill furnished much of the lumber
used along the bay in that and the
following year; as we'll as that used
in the back country, which was taken
away by teams.
At that date Mr. Gay was one of
those who foresaw the brilliant future
of the Bay country, and began to
secure much valuable land, until his

EARLY History.

The early history of that portion of
North Bay now known as Gay is yet
to be written. The many mounds
that have been carefully examined by
Scientific Societies have shown that
far back in the ages a numerous
population were located upon these
shores. When the Spanish first came
here in the early part of the 10th CEN
fury, about 1925, they found large
framed, warlike race of savages,
living in the hammOckS along the
shore; subsisting upon the game they
killed, which was very plentiful, and
the fish they took from the waters.
But anterior to this race undoubtedly
were the people who built the mounds,
and buried their dead therein.
When the country became better
known to the Spanish, and they began
to look for something else than gold,
a few rowing spirits of that nationality
settled hereabouts. They gave the
names to the various bays, points &c
from their patron saints many of
which have come down to us. Possibly
they did a little in the way of farm
ing, but the climate and ease with
which a livelihood could be obtained
was more conducive to life of idle
ness than of work. With the turning
over of the country to England in
1863 the latter gave to the officers and
privates of their armies, grants in
this section, and on old maps we find
! evidences of some of these soldiers
of fortune locating upon the shores of
this bay. At and about Gay was one
of the spots chosen by them for plan
! tatiOns and homes. With the return
of the country to Spain 20 years later
these settlers removed mostly to
Jamaica, and the land soon returned
to a state of nature, the indOlent
Spanish making no further effort to
improve it.
From that time until the arrival of
those who came here from North
Carolina and Georgia, but little was
done in the way of settlement.
Gradually the settlers from these
states grew in numbers through rela-
tives and friends following, until the
basis of the settlement of this bay
country was established.

Governmental Failures.

No mail came through from the
railway on Saturday, Sunday, or
Monday. If those delayed mails get
through together there will be four
days mail in one. This deplorable
condition of the mail service is rem
dering it impossible to do business
in this section where the mails are
a factor, and there is but little
in the way of business now days in
which they do not form an important
part.
Officials of the Post Office Depart
ment state that this section of the
country has given the government
more trouble than anywhere else in
The United States in maintaining mail
service. No good reason exists for
this being so. 1t demonstrates that
there is something radically wrong
somewhere, and betokens poor man
agement, if not worse, of the P. o..

BAY Head.

bay f1edQ.
At the north east corner of North
Bay in a beautiful hardwood ham
mock, Bay Head is located. Some
thirteen years ago Capt l.. Nj. Ware
bought quite tract of land at that
point, and erected store building
two stories in height, giving room for
a large store below, and accommodate
tons above for travellers. The place
then became the terminus of the mail
route from Chipley by team, it being
brought thereafter from there to st
Andrew by boat. This shortened the
time taken, and made of this route
much easier and quicker way to re ach
the railway than was in use before,
Capt r. H. Ware was in charge of
the store, with his estimable wife
caring for the many weary travellers
who found at that point respite and
relief from the tiresOme overland ride
from Chipley. Capt T. II. Ware, who
has always had ninterest in the bust
ness there, still continues to carry it
on, and has built up a very satisfac-
tory trade with the farming country
north and north east of that location.
This farming country includes some
of the best lands in Washington
county. Along the creeks the lands
are exceedingly fertile, and with the
two railroads now building crossing
them, they will soon be thickly set
tied and developed.

railway and this Bay.
If the Departments of our govern
ment upon which rest the defense of
this country are in the same impo-
tent condition as is the Postal De-
partment, we will, in case of war,
witness transports and torpedo

the base of an attack upon our

1t is to be hoped that no such in

to be found in such an important de

may be found upon trial in the others.
