Lush Days of Atlantic Hotel
Only the oldatera rrnifm
ber the fabulous days of. the
famed Atlantic Hotel at
Morehead City. Built in
1880, it was a meeca for all
who sought the refreshing
southwest summer winds on
the Carteret coast.
located on (be approximate site
of the present Jefferson Hotel, its
rambllag frame walls, typical of
America's spaa of tilt late 19th cen
tury, enclosed 233 rooms.
Publicized and promoted by the
owners, the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad, the Atlantic Ho
tel was recognized u THE place
(or discerning North Carolinians
to spend the summer.
A booklet telling all about the
hotel and MarelMad City for the
"coming season" of 1#0* makes the
reader titillate with excitement at
the thought of vacationing there.
The booklet opens with the rail
road company announcing appoint
ment of A. J. Cooke as manager.
The second page touts the hotel as
"The Summer Capital by the Sea"
and a veree introduces the reader
to pages of grandioae prose actom
panied by pictures.
The verse:
"My earliest steps would wander
From green and fertile land,
Down where the clear blue otean
rolled,
Te pave the rugged strand.
Oh! how I would love to be
A bird, a boat, or anything
That dwelt jpon the sea."
Then comes the luring descrip
tions:
"For more than twenty years the
Atlantic Hotel at Morehead City
has given entertainment to thou
sands who have visited that de
? lightf ul resort which
is unequalled else
where on the Atlw
tic Coast . . . Many
of its seasons hjive
been brilliant in
the personnel of its
guests and in the
lavfchness of it9 so
cial functions, while
all of them have
been supremely en
joyable by reason of
superb natural ad
vantages offered in
sailing, sound and
surf bathing, troll
ing and still fishing,
sea food, matchless
climate, immunity
from mosquitoes and
other pestiferous in
sects, and the unfail
ing breeze that
blows off three thou

hilarate the weary and eare-worn,
and titillate the healthful with ex
quisite enjoyment; but at no time
in these years has "The Summer
Capital by the Sea' entered upon a
season under such promises of
physical comfort, climatic condi

congenial social patronage . . .
Everything about the spacious ho

and brought abreast the new order

Who could ignore such an allur

"A new Steam laundry has been
added to the hotel. Postolfice,

Commenting on local waters, the
writer of the brochure expounds
in rapturous phrases:
"For those who do not care to
seek the ocean the sound plays
around the very pillars upon which
rests the hotel, and they have only
to step from their rooms into the
almost tepid waters . . .
"And at no place upon our en

Now is Time to Gather
Centerpiece Materials
By FLOY G. GARNER
Home Agent
Let us not become too absorbed
in keeping coal this summer and
forget about the need for mater
ials for flower arrangement dur
ing the winter months ahead. Now
ia the time to be gathering many
interestnig materials, both culti
vated and wild.
Many people think of brown as
the predominating color in dried
arrangements, but one can have
lovely yellows, orange*, greens,
blues, reds, purples, grays, whites
and blacks. Materials gathered a
few days apart will give different
textures and colors.
Cultivated and wild flowers,
grasses, seed pods, berries, leaves,
unusual branches, cones, cypress
knees, and driftwood can be used
successfully in dried arrangements.
Gather seed pods when first
formed and flowers in bud or
freshly bloomed; strip off >11
leaves, bunch together without
letting heads touch; hang upside
down in a dark, dry place. No
moisture should be in the flowers,
as it will eauee rot There should
be free circulation of air around
each bunch.
