Former Jasper County Boy Enjoys Outing at Orange Beach.

Roy Marshall, son of Geo. Marshall, formerly of Union township, writes The Republican from Orange Beach, Ala., as follows: “Ab we are housed up today on account of rain, I thought I would drop you a few lines from Orange ißeach. We are spending our vacation at this beautiful summer and winter resort. Get a furnished cottage for $5 a week, including a boat. This is an ideal boating and bathing place, fishing is also fine, and resting in the shade of a magnolia tree has an attraction that is simp ly immense. The air is nice and cool, the breeze from the salt water is healthful and invigorating, and strange to say, there are very few flies or mosquitos. . , l fWe all went to the gulf Sunday in a launch and it was a’ fine trip The apparently endless stretch of pure white beach, the great rolling waves and the beautiful shaded land make this one of the most delightful places I ever visited. Miles of the beach are speckled with shells that have been washed" lor years and polished smooth by the waves and washing sand and they radiate all the bright colors of the rainbow. “I wish some of our old and young Hoosier friends were here to enjoy the delights of a-vacatfcm on the seashore It would be a pleasure they would never forget. We are greatly pleased at Loxley, as my father has informed you, and hope to haw some Jasper county neighbors some time.”
