6 THE GREAT Benncstiw Monte ffiaKttc. PUBLISHED EVERY MONTH, IN THE INTERESTS OF THE GREAT KENNESAW ROUTE: Western and Atlantic Railroad. Under the auspices of the Passenger Department. | A limited number of acceptable adver tisements will be inserted in The Great Ken nesaw Route Gazette, which has an immens e edition every month, and it is safe to say that it is read by more people than any other paper in the South. Great numbers are distributed in Atlanta, to citizens and j travelers, by the publishers and officials of the Western and Atlantic Railroad ; and at other points where T/ie Great Kennesaw Route is represented. For space and terms ad dress the GREAT KENNESAW ROUTE GAZETTE, Box 57 Atlanta, Ga. A Great Scenic Route. There is no other railroad line in the country that commands such advant ages in natural scenery as does the Western and Atlantic, between Chat tanooga and Atlanta. From the mag nificent mountain, rising half a mile above the plain, into the very clouds, to the lovely valley, with its well stocked farms. From the great Ten nessee, Oostanaula, Etowah and Chat tahoochee rivers, with their millions of floating commerce and water power, to the hundreds of shining trout brooks, offering the finest piscatorial sport. Sherman’s great campaign, from Chat tanooga to Atlanta, was along the whole length of the Western and At lantic railroad, which runs through a succession of battlefields marked by grand natural scenery. At Chattanooga are Lookout Moun tain and Missionary Ridge. From Lookout, where Hooker fought the “ battle above the clouds,” the tourist can look into five States, and enjoy views which foreign travelers say are not surpassed in the world. Then there is bloody Chickamauga, and Ring gold. Ringgold, a beautiful, peaceful village, walled on the left with a pre cipitous mountain range, was the scene of a needless battle, partly on the very track of the W. &A. railroad. The tunnel, through solid rock, and then Rocky Face, on the left, for several miles, and Buzzard Roost, into Dal ton. We next have Resaca, where Sher man came so near bagging Joe John ston. Had McPherson literally car ried out his orders, and captured the railroad at Resaca, instead of falling back to Snake Creek Gap, the Atlanta campaign might have ended there, for Johnston’s supplies would have been cut off, and his enemy around him. But McPherson fell back, and John ston reached Resaca and the Oosta naula before Sherman did, and there was bloody fighting. The scenery is grand. The fine country, between Resaca and Cartersville, is extremely interest ing to tourists. It is an excellent farming region, splendidly watered and abounding in minerals. THE GREAT KENNESAW ROUTE GAZEITE. At Allatoona Pass the war interest commences again, and keeps up until Atlanta is reached. Kennesaw Moun tain is twenty miles below Allatoona half way to Atlanta. Elsewhere in this paper, Kennesaw, and the scenes around it, are fully described. The Western and Atlantic railroad runs through their very midst. From Marietta to Atlanta is a forty minutes’ delightful run, through an in teresting country, and across the au burn Chattahoochee, past manufacto ries, into the Union Passenger Depot, right at the Kimball House and Markham House, in Atlanta. The Kennesaw Route sells rickets to St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver, Salt Lake, San Francisco, Portland, Yel low Stone Park, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo, Detroit, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Albany, New York City, Philadelphia, Balti more, Washington, Pittsburg, Wheel ing, Cincinnati, Louisville, and to five thousand other points. These tickets are all on sale at the city ticket office, No. 4 Kimball House, and will be dished out on application at the very lowest rates. Kennesaw Mountain. It is pretty well settled in geograph ical, military and tourist circles that Kennesaw Mountain is directly on the line of the Western and Atlantic rail road, near Marietta, Cobb county, Georgia; but it is claimed by the un tamable broncho that the historic twin elevation is near Bull’s Gap, (Irish bull) above Knoxville, in Tennessee. This beats Mahomet all to pieces. He commanded the mountain to come to him, and when the mountain did not budge, Mahomet went to the moun tain. But the wild horse just picked up old Kennesaw in his teeth and swung it up into Bull’s Gap, in East Tennessee. Thus is geography and war history made a plaything for the veracious passenger agent. The Kenesaw Route is the only first class and reliable route to Chattanooga from this place. Only line running through cars to Memphis, Little Rock ; connecting closely with trains for Ar kansas and Texas points. Only Line I running sleeping cars from Atlanta to Nashville, St. Louis and Chicago. — — Railroad brakemen all over the , country are looking for car “No. 1886,” and will keep a sharp lookout until they come across it, because a failure to find a car with the number of the year in which they live means a serious mishap. At least such seems to be the brake man's craze of late. The Kennesaw Route’s city ticket office is the old, reliable No. 4, Kim ball House. In this office you can be accommodated with tickets to any point —to the East, West or North. Write R. D. Mann & Co., who are the agents; or M. C. Sharp, assistant, for any information about tickets, sleeping car accommodations, schedules and con. nections with other lines, and you will I receive prompt reply. WESTERN&ATLANTICR.R.
