developers of a country, materially; but are, like the preachers, improvers of morals. The Western & Atlantic Railroad is, doubtless, proud of the distinction of being the outlet through which the Ma rietta & North Georgia Railroad will pour the products of Northern Georgia into the laps of the Southern States, and also of improving the condition of the kind-hearted, hospitable people of the mountainous portion of Northern Georgia. We have always believed that there was not anywhere in America a popu lation which hadjwithin itself more of all the elements of self-reliance, of abun dance, of resource and of true and gen uine hospitality and fair dealing with neighbors, than is characteristic of the population of the mountainous sec tion of Northern Georgia, and we are satisfied that a very few years will dem onstrate that this belief on our part is entirely correct. Psalm CXLVI. 1. The psalmist voweth perpetual praises to God. 3. He exhorteth not to trust in man. 5. God, for His power, justice, mer cy and kingdom, is only worthy to be trusted. 1. Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul. 2. While I live will I praise the Lord; I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. 3. Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 4. His breath goeth forth, he re turneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. 5. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God: 6. Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever. 7. Which executeth judgment for the oppressed; which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners: 8. The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind ; the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down; the Lord loveth the righteous. 9. The Lord preserveth the strang ers . He relieveth the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked He turneth upside down. 10. The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all gener ations. Praise ye the Lord. The little “Riverside Route,” as the Rome Railroad is called, is not only one of the most popular in Georgia, but is also lined with beauti ful scenery. Shortly after leaving Kingston, on the Western & Atlantic Railroad, it reaches the valley of the Etowah river, and from there to Rome it is almost continuously in sight of the river. The scenery which is shown on a succession of magnificent farms and the beautiful river, one never grows tired of. Os the Rome Railroad al most the same thing may be said as of the Western & Atlantic Railroad, that “it is the biggest thing for its size in Ameriky.” It is said that the Western & At lantic railroad does more to foster and devtlop new enterprises on its line than any other southern road. This should be the policy of every southern road. — North Georgia Citizen. SOTZEIDTJLES —BETWEEN — Jacksonville and Atlanta, Via LOUISVILLE and NASHVILLE R.

They Know a Good Track when They See It. That is a good story, as well as a true one, which is told of a gentleman in Chattanooga, who was talking to another about the almost reckless man ner in which the E. T., V. & G. R. R. trains run between Chattanooga and East Tennessee Junction on the W. & A. R. R. As is well known the E. T., V. & G. trains, by virtue of a contract be tween the Western & Atlantic Rail road and the East Tennessee, Virgin i ia & Georgia Railroad, run over the track of the W. & A. R. R., from Chattanooga to East Tennessee Junc tion, which is eight miles south of Chattanooga. They will continue do ing this until the E. T., V. & G. R. R. tunnel, under Missionary Ridge, is repaired. One of the gentlemen, on the occa sion above referred to, remarked to THE KENNESAW GAZETTE. the other that the E. T., V. & G. trains killed more cattle between the two points named than anywhere else on their line, and then added: “I think they must surely sometimes run at least sixty miles per hour over those eight miles of the W. & A. R. R., and,” said he, “ I am at a loss to understand why they should run so much more rapidly over those eight miles than over any of the rest of their line.” “ Why, that is very easy to ex plain,” remarked the other, “ they do so because that is the best portion of the track their trains run over from Chatta nooga to Brunswick. ” Magnificent scenery is viewed from the summits of Kennesaw, Allatoona and Rocky Face Mountains, directly on the line of the Western & Atlantic Railroad, and all along the line of the Marietta and North Georgia Railroad. 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” reach the line penetrat ing the healthiest county in America — Fannin county, Ga. Whose competitors termed it “only a Sidetrack ;” but found it “The Big gest Thing 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 they 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 moun tain by that name in the United States, is 22 miles north of Atlanta, and on the Western and Atlantic rail road. 7
