TO RAILWAY OFFICIALS.
During our connection with the
railway service, the job printer and
book-binder were in constant requi
sition.
Three things were found essen
tial —
1. Good work,
2. Quick work,
3. And fair rates.
To secure these, the printing
house offering the best facilities, by
reason of the large amount of capi
tal invested, the master artists em
ployed, and fresh and approved ma
terial and machinery used, was
selected.
The results, when other counsels
prevailed, were not infrequently
encumbered with imperfections, de
lays and losses.
What was then true, holds good
now.
, With this preliminary, we desire
your attention to an Atlanta Print
ing House, competent to meet all
your requirements—one which, un
der its present management, has
been made complete in its every ap
pointment, and where the rule is,
perfection, dispatch and living rates.
A house that has a number of the
latest patent Steam-ruling Ma
chines, Folders, and twenty odd
Power Presses, Electrotype and
Stereotype Foundries, and the finest
obtainable corps of printers and
binders.
A house whose work, from the
smallest personal card to the large
complicated book, is as near perfec
tion as attained by the leaders of
“the art preservative of all arts.”
A house where your favors will
be appreciated and manipulated, in
every instance, in the manner most
conducive both to your satisfaction
and interests.
We know whereof we write
We refer to the Printing and Pub
lishing House of James P. Harri
son & Co.
Consult it.
Award a share of your work to it.
We vouch for it.
(See advertisement).
From the Southern Industrial Record.
The following graceful and in ev
eryway true mention, we find in the
Atlanta Sunday Telegram:
The railroads throughout the coun
try have furnished some choice litera
ture descriptive of scenery along their
routes; but nothing in America is
ahead of the work in this line, done by
Mr. Joseph M. Brown, the general
passenger agent of the State road.
He has gotten out several books and
pamphlets, which, in point of literary
merit, would do credit to men far more
pretentious in the world of letters than
he. The truth is, Mr. Brown, as a
man of brains, has few equals in Geor
gia, and he will reap rich honors soon
er or later.
Marietta, the little “Gem City,” is
the choicest health resort of Georgia,
and is on the Western and Atlantic
J
railroad, near the foot of the historic
Kennesaw Mountain.
The Kennesaw Route always ahead.

the famous battle grounds of Fort McAllister, Griswold vi lie, Jonesboro, Atlanta, KEN
NESAW MOUNTAIN, Allatoona, (“ Hold the fort; for I am coming!”! Resaca

There is probably nowhere in the
up-country, a city, which, in addition
to having nice hotels, itself, is sur
rounded by more mineral springs than
is Dalton, Ga. Within a short radius
can be found Gordon Springs, Cohutta
Springs, the mineral springs near Tun
nel Hill, Ga., those at the foot of Rocky
Face, only about half an hour’s ride
from Dalton, besides others. Come
up to Dalton and spend the month of
August.
Marietta is entitled to the name of
being the summer resort for the very
best class of people in Georgia, Flori
da and adjoining States. We do not
know where you can be better suited
in having an abundance of good things
than at Marietta.
“Bill Arp” lives in Bartow county,
only about a half dozen miles from
Cartersville, on the Western & Atlantic
railroad.
Only via the Western and Atlantic
railroad can you go to Elizabeth, “the
marble city of Georgia,” where there
is the most wonderful marble cutting
machinery in the world. Tourists
will miss it if they do not stop at Ma
rietta and go up to Elizabeth, only
two miles distant, immediately at the
foot of the famous Kennesaw Moun
tain.
The Western and Atlantic railroad
runs 11 passenger trains per day be
tween Atlanta and Marietta. Tourists
who stop at Marietta not only get the
advantages of pure air and beautiful
scenery, but are also within one hour’s
ride of Atlanta.
No tourist should pass through
Chattanooga without stopping and tak
ing a trip over the Western and At
lantic, down through the beautiful and
historic Chickamauga Valley.
The Kennesaw Route is the quickest.
The Western & Atlantic is the
Only Railroad in America
Whose line is not “geographically
straight”—on paper.
Whose trains run into the Union
Passenger Depots at Atlanta and Chat
tanooga, making connection at each
place, with no omnibus transfers.
Which runs around the base of the
majestic and famous Kennesaw Moun
tain.
Which runs through and within
cannon sound of scenes where occurred
over fifty battles, or minor conflicts,
of the “War between the States.”
On which occurred the noted “Cap
ture of a Locomotive,” the chase, and
overhauling of its captors.
Which runs through the beautiful
and historic Chickamauga Valley its
entire length.
Which runs through the famous Al
latoona Pass.
By which you can go from Atlanta
or Chattanooga to the great Georgia
marble quarries.
By which the “great American trav
eling public” can go to the healthiest
county in America — Fannin county, Ga.
Whose competitors termed it “only
a Sidetrack but found it “The Big
gest Ihing for its Size in Ameriky.”
Whose superiority its chief compet
itor has acknowledged, after vainly en
deavoring to equal its superb advan
tages and attractions, by practically
giving up the contest in this respect,
and endeavoring to' cabbage its route
title, ‘ ‘The Great Kennesaw Route,”
and thus fooling the traveling public
into the idea that it was “The Great
Kennesaw Route.”
(This attempt by its competitor to
deceive the public into the belief that
it is “The Great Kennesaw Route”
is the highest compliment one line ev
er paid its rival, as well as a most hu
miliating confession of the weakness of
the line attempting to practice the de
ception. The Western & Atlantic peo
ple are so proud of this compliment
that the editor is afraid thev are going
to get spoiled.)
Which runs through scenes associat
ed with memories of three of the most
beautiful as well as stirring lyrics in
the English language, viz :
“Home, Sweet Home,”
“I am dying, Egypt, dying,
“Hold the Fort, for I am Coming,”
Excursion round trip rates from
Marietta to Allatoona and return, 75
cents. Allatoona is the place whereon
was located the fort to which General
Sherman signaled from the top of Ken
nesaw mountain, near Marietta, “Hold
the fort, for I am coming,” whence
comes the famous gospel hymn.
The wonderful Georgia marble quar
ries, which are well worth a trip of
three hundred miles to see, can only
be reached via the Western and Atlan
tic railroad and Marietta.
Kennesaw Mountain, the only foun
tain by that name in the United
States, is 22 miles north of Atlanta,
and on the Western and Atlantic rail
road.
