guests in the house. A number of States are represented. Hours, the bright happy hours, away from care and labor, go flitting by on noiseless wings. One may literally “dream the happy hours away” in this lovely place. The house has all the modern improvements. Water and gas through out the building, large and airy rooms, handsomely furnished, a table supplied with the very best, polite and attentive servants, and rates moderate, have made this one of the best known and most popular houses in North Georgia. In order to meet the increasing de mand for additional accommodations, Mr. Whitlock is now erecting a wing to the main building which will con tain twenty rooms. This place is growing in popularity with Northern and Western people. Some stop here during the winter, but the great majority stop sometime in the early winter, on their way to Thomas ville or Florida, and then return here for another sojourn in the spring. Ma rietta is the halfway house, coming and going, for many. It is most ad mirably located and suited for this, and if the wide awake citizens of the place will push it, hundreds will make this their stopping place. What Thom asville is to South Georgia, Marietta may be to North Georgia. There is a reciprocity of interests between the two places which we hope to see culti vated and increased. There is much here to interest. Ken nesaw mountain is but two miles away, where the men of the South met North ern foemen in bloody battle, and whose crest was crimsoned with the purest blood in the South; whose base was strewn with the dead who wore the blue, and whose sides were bathed with the blood of the men of the North and the men of the South, as they fought on that 27th day of June, up and down again those rugged slopes, falling face to foe, yielding up thou sands of lives on the altar of their country. Now many of them sleep in this mountain city. Over eleven thou sand Federals are buried here, their graves being cared for by the govern ment, while two thousand five hundred Southern boys sleep in a neglected spot. They, both, have answered the last roll call, and will only appear again when the final reveille shall sound. The great Kennesaw mills, with a ca pacity for turning out four hundred and fifty barrels of Hour per day, ate here; the largest chair manufactory in the South; large paper mills, and the most extensive marble works, north or south, are among the many manu facturing interests of the place. There are good livery stables and beautiful drives, while hotels and boarding hous es are abundant. The Journal, by Mr. Neal, is doing much toward boom ing this fast growing place. Atlanta is within forty-five minutes run on half a dozen trains a day. The place is one thousand and sixty feet above the sea level,free from malaria and that next greatest pest, mosquitoes. The Mari etta and North Georgia railroad, run ning to Murphy, N. C., has its junc tion with the W. & A. railroad at this place. It penetrates one of the finest and richest mineral and marble sections of the South. Gobo county is one of the richest and most progressive coun ties in the State. Farming is carried on systematically, scientifically and profitably. The no-fence law prevails in several districts. The farming lands are rolling and yield readily to culti vation. They are not being impover ished, but improved. “Bill Arp” lives in Bartow county, only about a half dozen miles from Cartersville, on the Western & Atlantic railroad.
