310 FLORIDA.

Tourists should by all means visit this region, for Tallahassee and
the surrounding country is, all in all, one of the most lovely por-
tions of America.
 From Tallahassee a short railroad runs to St. Mark's, on the
Gulf, there connecting with the steamer to Pensacola, New Orleans,
and all Gulf ports. The dates of this train are very uncertain, as it
only runs when it is announced that a steamer is in port, usually
about once a week.
 THE FAR-WEST COUNTIES.
 The towns and settlements in the counties west of the Appa-
lachicola River are only reached by United States mail or private
stage routes. Rates are moderate.
