This statement was furnished by our Master Car Builder, Mr. William Kinyon. It was of considerable value to me in some of my calculations. From Allatoona Heights, looking southwest, there is a beautiful view over the valleys of Allatoona creek and Pumpkinvine creek. Every old sol dier in Sherman’s and Johnston’s ar mies remembers these two names. About a thousand yards south of the heights above the famous Allatoona Pass, is the hill whereon was located the Confederate battery which did so much damage and caused so much an noyance to Gen. Corse’s men, in Gen. French’s attack upon the forts at that point, October sth, 1864. Beyond this THE KENNESAW GAZETTE. MATERIAL AND LABOR IN PAIR TRUCKS OF CAR. Articles.

MCi'u-- (D C © ®b£ O r~) ,zt Sot Only via the Western and Atlantic Railroad, and the Rome Railroad, from Kingston, can you go to Rome, down the beautiful valley of the Etowah river. This is one of the prettiest valleys in Georgia, and the lands are among the most fertile of any in the South. The Rome Railroad runs in sight of the Etowah river for probably 1 over half its length, and passengers who desire to go to Rome will miss a treat if they take any other route than that via Kingston and the Rome Rail road, —the “Riverside Route.” One of the nicest hotels in the south east, for fall tourists and invalids to come to, is at Grovetown, on the Geor gia Railroad, about fifteen miles east of Augusta. The hotel Rosland is “a ■ daisy” in every respect. It is sufficient | recommendation for Grovetown to say i that a portion of the family of Mr. George M. Pullman, President of the Pullman Palace Sleeping Car Com pany, has, during the past couple of winters, spent several weeks at this point. 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 1 Marietta and North Georgia Railroad. Sixty-eight different kinds of miner als and ores found on the line of the Western and Atlantic railroad.
