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.

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. 7
