DeFuniak's Argument
As a Resort Town.

DeF'uniak,. the little halfway-to-Rivel
Junction town which now is bathed in
the luxury of all-night lights, to the
great delight and. convenience of all
her people. is correctly described by
the Breeze, one of the most entertain.
ing papers Of Florida, when it says
that "DeFuniak is not a fashion re
sort, where those who would seek rest
and recuperation must needs wear
themselves out in the endeavor to
Guido the others; but for the hun
dreds. yes thousands, who seek a mild
and lenient climate in the winter.
where rest-real sweet rest-can be
obtained among a refined and cult
waited people, where society is con-
genial, where health conditions are
unexcelled, where there abounds all
the conveniences OF city life and
where living is actually economic. can
find here the place they seek"
There is good, hard nugget of
truth in this DeFuniak editors sage
comment on the actual wish OF
many peoplv rr-----la-------.-.4...- Nro,+b
who aim to winter. at least partlarrgs
in snug little town where the de-
mands of fashion are not too peremp-
tory and where the charges for eli
mate and health are not too extor-
tionate. More and more we expect TO
sac the less pretentious resorts In
Florida and Georgia receive patron
age from people who do not wish the
cost and bother Of the more exclusive
places of winter recreation and amuse-
ment. DeFuniak and other like cities
are bound to get more and more OF
this business, which is not only suffi'
GENTLY profitable, but which means
the winter influx of hundreds OF the
most desirable tourists that come into
the state. DeFuniak can give then
the unassuming hospitality they
wish, and visitors to DeFuniak once
are likely to be visitors again.

mfliar with the Alabama territory
and in sympathy with any effort that
may be made to bring in suitable
settlers, we have commended the &C
tivity of the Southern road in keeping
the South's desirable farming lands SO
necessarily before the immigrating
public, not by cheap, bombastic boost.
Ing that does not bear the requisite
fruit In arousing the interest of the
right type of newcomers, but by a
rational and dignif1ed appeal to intel
ligent heads Of families looking for a.
wider horizon. 1t is well that the man
at the head OF this extensive railroad
system Is never too busy to talk about
Southern opportunities, either private
ly with persons interested or publicly
on the platform, whenever a sufficient
need exists for this kind of personal
promotion. Mr.. Finley and his land
and industrial department have been
1oing the South much beneficial work
since he assumed the presidency of
this road three years ago. Thus far.
the colonization movement has given
promise of results that will Justify
the time and the outlay devoted to

is frank enough to say the movement
is purely selfish and we like him the
better for his blunt admission OF az
motive; but the results are what Mo-,
bile county, and other naturally prom
Using counties, are after. If the pres
ident of the Southern Railroad is self
ish and owns up to his selfishness, We
shall not even try to let the gentle
man down easy by saying it is neces-
sary now and then to give the Devil
his due. Rather, we shall believe 1t
would be to the profit of other Sec
tons If other roads had men at the
, ton actuated by equal selfishness and
also equally adapted to the personal
solicitation Of new and desirable
settlers.
