family died of consumption. The gen
tlemen do not wish their names pub
lished, but should any persons be curi
ous to have them verify these state
ments the writer will furnish their
names. Other testimony in support of
the preventive properties of the cli
mate of Georgia in persons of the con
sumptive type is attainable.
To those, North or South, in whose
families there is a tendency to con
sumption, Georgia offers a home where
its development would be prevented.
Dr. Richards, referring to a change
of climate for the aged, quotes Dr.
Weber as follows: ‘ ‘Low temperature,
cold winds, rapidly occurring changes
of weather and a low degree of relative
humidity are badly borne. High al
titude stations are to be avoided at all
seasons, but in summer mountain re
sorts of moderate elevation may be cho
sen.”
Any person in the primary stage
of consumption, who will live in the
neighborhood of Atlanta, keep out of
billiard rooms, hotel-offices and other
places with vitiated and confined air,
ride horse-back, or what is even bet
ter, —walk, sleep in a second story,
well ventilated, sunny room, eat solid,
substantial food, avoid stimulants (un
less prescribed by a physician) and ex
cesses of any kind, bathe frequently
and seek refined and cheerful society
will recover health.
A material advantage in choosing
the vicinity of a large city as a place
of resort is that, men who have form
ed business habits are thrown into a
ousiness atmosphere. Many opportu
nities for investment are presented, so
that, as health is regained one can find
profitable employment for mind and
capital.

We take great pleasure in announc

its connections have established mag
nificent palace and buffet sleeping
car lines from Cincinnati and Lou
isville to Jacksonville, and from Nash
ville to Atlanta, and also splendid
through palace coach lines from Little
Rock, Ark., to Atlanta, and from Chat

the traveling public.

ATLANTA “CONSTITUTION” BUILDING,
and Mann Boudoir Buffet sleeping car
line from Cincinnati to Jacksonville
via Cincinnati South rn, Western &
Atlantic, Central of Georgia, Bruns
wick A Western and Savannah, Flor
ida & Western Railroads is continued.
This magnificent line has command
ed a lion’s share of the travel for over
a year past, by reason of the regularity
of its schedules and all the luxuries of
its equipment, and “we grow better all
the time” is its motto.
Another superb through sleeping
car line has also been organized,
taking effect Nov. 14, which will run
from Louisville to Jacksonville, Fla.,
via the Louisville & Nashville, Nash
ville, Chattanooga & St. Louis, West
ern & Atlantic, Central of Georgia
and Savannah, Florida A Western
Railroads.
This will be the only line by which
tourists from the northwest can go
n through cars via Marietta, Atlan
ta and Thomasville to Florida points.
This fact alone is an overwhelming ad
vantage which the line possesses.
The through sleeping car line be
tween Nashville and Atlanta is con
tinued, and “they set the regulator by
us” is its motto.
These cars leave Nashville at 8:00
p. m., and arrive at Atlanta 7:25 a.
m. Close connection is made at Nash
ville with the through schedules from
Chicago and also with through trains
from St. Louis. In Atlanta, close
connection is made in the Union De
pot for Augusta, Aiken, Charleston,
Beaufort and all southeastern points.
The through first-class coach line
between Little Rock, Ark., and At
lanta is also continued. Its motto is,
“they try to match us; but always
fail.”
Passengers from the northwest, com
ing via Nashville, can take these cars
at that point and come through to At
lanta without change, as can parties
coming via Memphis, or starting, of
course, from Little Rock.
It will be noticed from the sched
ules, printed elsewhere in this paper,
that the Western & Atlantic Railroad
offers to the traveling public four
through passenger trains per day each
way between Chattanooga and Atlanta.
It also offers to them what no other
line does or can —through connections
from Atlanta to Jacksonville, Fla.,
via three routes, viz: via Ty-Ty, Thomas
ville and Savannah.
These schedules are all in effect from
November 14, and when it is borne in
mind that the Western & Atlantic
Railroad and its connections make it
an inflexible rule not to advertise sched
ules which it is doubtful they can main
tain, nor 10 furthermore deceive the
public by advertising as being in effect,
schedules which have not yet been put on,
passengers going via any of the
above sleeping car lines or thorough
fare car lines which pass over the West
ern & Atlantic Railroad can rest as
sured that they will arrive at destina
tion on advertised time.
The title, “Old Reliable,” which was
given to the Western & Atlantic Rail
road, years ago, is more than sustained
by the practice of its management to
promise the public nothing beyond
what they believe and feel assured
that they can furnish them.
A Formidable Position.
The correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, writing from Tunnel Hill,
Georgia, says he never beheld so for
midable a position for defense as the
rebels have at Dalton. Reaching out
into the gorge from the perfectly im
passable mountains on either side, spur
after spur could be seen, rising one
above the other, as you looked toward
Dalton, and forming a series of forti
fications as perfect as the hand of man
ever traced, while vastly superior in
magnitude to aught that he ever con
structed. These natural fortifications
extend all around the place, and are
filled with sharp-shooters, who pick
out our men with the greatest ease.
The same correspondent says our troops
attempted to force the passes on the
two principal roads, but found them
selves unable to accomplish the task,
and so returned to Tunnel Hill. — At
lanta Intelligencer, April 24, 1864.
The rumor that a terrapin has been
caught near Mapleton, Ga., inscribed
“1865. J., 75 O. Vol.” is not general
ly credited in this State. No Ohio
troops ever let anything they could eat
escape in 1865.
