In Fl. George Isle

article to Harpers Magazine on the
islands Of the Atlantic Coast, especial
ly TT. George Island, in the course of
which he said Nowhere on the face
of the earth is there such a congress
of islands. They are full of attrac-
tons and are often oyergrown in the
most enchanting manner by oak for
ests, groves of palms and lianas, while
the delicious sea breezes of a semi
tropical cline, and the historic legends
of the past, invest them with a Won
derful poetic haze, like the golden va
por that sunset weaves over the roofs
and spires of a distant town. The Pc
culiarity of Ft. George island is, that,
more than any other spot have seen
in our country, it seems to unite the
vegetation Of two zones. The pine and
the oak assume a form and a richness
that ally them to the rank vegetation
Of the jungles Of the Amazon"
Another celebrated writer of Fit,
George says: From the top of Mt.
Cornelia a view can be obtained I'M
Iequalled probably in America for trop-
ical luxuriance and coloring. Fo t
George can be called without fear Of
dispute the home of the palm, so noble
and majestic are the specimens Of this
noble tree. Through these lovely
woods wind the famous shell roads of
FIT. George, forming a pavement hard
and white as marble, over whose
smooth surface the carriage wheels
glide without jar, and which wouli
tempt the most timid to mount the
frisky bicycle What can be more de-
lightful than a six mile run over such
a track, through the mazes Of semi

Jacksonville, Fla, March 25.-Dele-
gates and visitors to the Confederate
reunion at Jacksonville in May viii
find many things to interest them he
sides a modern, enterprising city.
There are trips on the river, to the
seashore and elsewhere that hundreds
will desire to take before returning
home. The only extensive orange
groves of the Jacksonville vicinity are
situated on the st. Johns river some
miles above the city. A trip to them
can be made in a few hours by river
steamer and in shorter time by auto
mobiles The site of the old Harriet
Beecher Stowe, author Of Uncle Toms
Cabin, is at Mandarin among the
orange groves. This historic resi-
Gence, however, was destroyed by
fire. Some miles higher on the river
is Green Cove Springs, one Of the pic
turesque wonders of America, A
claim is advanced for this spring that
il is the fountain of youth that Ponce
de Leon was hunting when he discov.
cred Florida.
One of the most interesting points
around Jacksonville is FIT. George Is
land near the mouth of the st. Johns
river. The island is high and rolling
tract of land, covered with sub-trop-
zeal tres and shrubs. Mt Cornelia, the
highest point on the island, is men
toned in United States Coast Survey
as the highest land on the Atlantic
coast for 1900 miles south of New
Jersey highlands"

tropical forest, with the salt breeze
blowing up from the ocean, the song
of the mocKing bird, and the soft
thunder of the distant breakers for an
accompaniment!
But, perhaps, the best feature of
Fl. George island is the salubrity OF
its climate Exposed, as it is, to the
full influence of sea breeze, and being
composed almost entirely of high ami
dry land, it is free from any faint o.
malaria, and one can, without danger
to health, live here winter and sum
mer. While affording a delightful re-
treat from the cold winters of the
north it does not enervate and weak
en- the constitution, for the salt air Of
the Atlantic has a tonic property which
counteracts the softness of the climate
and renders the atmosphere of Fort
George most conducive to health and
longevity"
Directly across the st. Johns river
from Ft, George island is the village
Cf Mayport connected with Jacksonville
by rail. Mayport is a typical Atlantic
coast settlement, full of interest to
the tourist and a favorite place with
fishermen. Just below Mayport are the
jetties at the mouth of the st. Johns.
Fishing is as fine at the jetties as at
any other point in Florida A good
fisherman can not spend a day there
when fish are biting we'll, go back
home and tell his story and be believ-
ed. Often it is a matter of physical
endurance-a contest between the
finny tribes of the ocean and man.
Travelling south from Mayport, the
points Of interest within easy reach Of
Jacksonville are Atlantic Beach and
Pablo Beach. There is no finer beach
on the Atlantic coast. The beauties of
this beach were not recognized until
the early eighties when a stock COM
pany, composed of business men CT
Jacksonville, was formed to develop
the place To be intelligently unde:-
stood and appreciated, one must know
that Atlantic Beach extends from the
mouth, practically, of the st. Johns
river thirty miles south. 1t is straight,
sandy, gently shelving and free from
rocks snags and treacherous sand
The beach is but sixteen miles from
Jacksonville and is reached by rail o.
automobiles over magnificent road.
The trip from Jacksonville to this
beach is one of the most delightful to
he found in Florida, and will be a pop
ular diversion for reunion visitors.
There are good hotel accommodations
both at Pablo and Atlantic Beach, the
two places being only three miles
apart. Surf bathing along Atlantic
Beach is safe and delightful. Thous-
ands of people go to the beach every
summer to enjoy the ocean breeze,
surf bathing and fishing.
