F1U. DAY, DECEMBER 3, 1807.
Within a few days we have had a
personal experience of how the present
postal laws delay the dispatch and de
livery of mail matter unnecessarily. A
friend in Boston mailed to our address a
small blank book, which under the
postal laws is rated as fourth-class mat
ter with postage at the rate of one cent
per ounce or fraction thereof. In this
case our friend inadvertently allixed but
three cents postage when the package
should have had live cents. As the
present law forbids short paid fourth
class matter being dispatched in the
mails, the postmaster at Boston sent a
card stating that such a package was in
that oltice addressed to us and
insufficiently paid, and that it would be
necessary for us to remit two cents in
postage stamps in order to have it dis
patched and delivered to us. We com
plied with his request, and, after a delay
of three days, the expenditure of four
cents and an envelope, we received the
package.
We fail to see why such a law should
continue in force. We would have been
only too glad to have paid the extra post
age if the package had been forwarded
to us immediately, and thus have saved
time and expense. The government
would have lost nothing and we should
have received what we are entitled to
prompt and ellicient service.
PINEHURST.
Its Wonderful Growth as a Winter Health
and Pleasure Resort.
The peculiarities of a. village which
changes its population to a great extent
each fall and spring are now observable in
Pinehurst. But a few short weeks ago,
with the exception of the noise of the
saw and the hammer used in erecting the
new buildings which are now ornaments
in our town, almost the quietness of
nature pervaded the whole village. Dur
ing the few years of its existence as a
winter health and pleasure resort, Pine
hurst lias been an eminent success. Be
ginning but three years ago with a small
hotel, a few cottages, and a small store,
the village was increased the next year
by the addition of a dozen cottages, sev
eral boarding houses and the village
Casino, and even with these enlarged
accommodations was tilled to overflowing
with northern seekers after health and
pleasure. The success of the first two
seasons stimulated Mr. James W. Tufts,
the founder of Pinehurst, to add largely
to the accommodations the present year,
with the result that many additional
buildings have been erected during the
past summer.
The Holly Inn now has accommoda
tions for two hundred guests, and every
modern convenience has been provided
for their comfort and pleasure. The
village Casino contains a large dining
room where board can be had for $4.50
per week ; also, ladies' parlors and bath
rooms, all on the first floor. A pool-room,
barber-shop, bath-rooms for gentlemen,
and a free reading room containing the
leading papers and niagizines and open
to all guests, occupy the second story,
making the Casino a popular place of
general resort. An immense general
store has just been completed at which
can be bought at reasonable prices almost
anything that has entered the mind of
man to desire. Several boarding houses
have been provided; also lodging houses
in which furnished rooms can be rented
at from 1.50 to $4.00 per week. More
than thirty cottages are rented completely
furnished for housekeeping, except table
and bed linen, at rates ranging from $140
to $2G0 for the season from November 1st
to June 1st. There are several houses
containing suites of two and three rooms
furnished for light housekeeping, renting
for the very low prices of $50 to $85 for
the season.
A school house is provided in which
school is kept during the entire winter,
under the charge of a capable northern
teacher something seldom found at a
health or pleasure resort. A village hall
of good size, with a stage large enough
to properly present any entertainment,
is among the desirable acquisitions. The
building will also be used for holding
religious services of different denomina
tions. To these accommodations are
added perfect sanitary sewerage, a sup
ply of pure water and electric lights in
every building, good streets and side
walks, and one is reminded strikingly of
his northern home so far as the conven
iences of life are concerned. But in
addition to all these, we also have the
temperate climate which makes lite a
pleasure during the winter months. X
farm and nursery are also connected
with the village from which our gues'is
are furnished fresh milk and vegetable ;
and last, but not least, we have TDK
PiNEiiuusT Outlook to report the hap
penings in the village and vicinity, intro
ducing each visitor to the community as
he arrives, and to tell of the things which
can be seen and enjoyed in the village
and surrounding country.
Pinehurst is peculiarly a place for
rest and recreation, and unlike other vil
lages is under the control and owner
ship of one man, thus making it possible
to enjoy the advantages of an ideal
winter resort with no objectionable fea
tures. Every guest coming to Pinehurst
can feel assured that the people with
whom he comes in contact will be of
good character and standing in the com
munity from which they come. Every
thing necessary and convenient has been
thought of and provided, and we believe
our village is the most desirable as it is
the most popular winter resort in the
South. One of the best testimonials of
the popularity of Pinehurst is the fact
that a large percentage of our present
guests are those who have previously
wintered here and have general knowl
edge of our village and surroundings.
From appearances the present season
will be, even with the immensely en
larged accommodations, the most success
ful in the history of the village, and, as
in the past, before the season is over, Mr.
Tufts will no doubt be compelled to
refuse applicants for admission, for lack
of room.
