Kingston as a Wrecking- Sta- *
tion.
“Kingston, Ga , Oct. 1.
(Special.) —The \\ estern & Atlantic
Railroad is having an extra switch and
shed built here under which they will
place the wrecking train and its appa
ratus. They build it here, as this is
a central point and has also the con
venience of a Y on which an engine
can be turned.”
Press of matter has prevented our
noticing sooner the above article,
which was clipped from the Atlanta
Constitution.
The ostensible reason for placing the
wrecking train and its apparatus at
Kingston is that it is a central point,
and has also the convenience of a Y
on which an engine can be turned;
but those who are acquainted with the
Western & Atlantic people, their clev
erness among themselves, and their
proverbial consideration for, and cour
tesy towards their neighbors, can read
ily see that there was another reason
equally if not more potent in directing
their ideas as to making Kingston the
headquarters of the wrecking train.
The Western A Atlantic scarcely
ever has an accident which amounts
to anything at all; in fact, its safety
has gotten to be almost a household
word in Georgia ; but some of its rail
road neighbors are not so fortunate,
and the management of the Western A
Atlantic Railroad evidently were mov
ed very strongly by sympathy in the
location of the wrecking train.
From Kingston to Atlanta it is only
58 miles, to Dalton it is only 42 miles,
it is immediately at thejunction of the
Western & Atlantic’s little ally, the
Rome Railroad, and by the Rome
Railroad it is twenty miles to Rome;
hence, in case its neighbors get into
trouble, which renders assistance ne
cessary, the Western & Atlantic wreck
ing train is very handy.
We think that the Western & At
lantic is to be very highly commended
for the kind spirit which seems to reg
ulate all of its relationships with its
railroad neighbors, among whom we
include its competitors as well as its
connections.
Mother.
“I’ve got the best mother in the
world,” said a young man to us a short
time ago, with an evident sincerity of
manner which struck us, and he then
proceeded to cite several instances of
how his mother cared for not only him
but for the entire household.
These were noble sentiments and
should find an echo in the heart of
every one who has a mother. Every
boy should feel that his mother is the
best mother in the world, and so far
as each individual is concerned, we
may lay it down as a rule that every
boy, in one sense, has the best mother
in the world, or should so consider
her.
There is no love so pure, so unself
ish and so above everything else hu
man as a mother’s love. The mother
has no personal designs to accomplish,
no ends to further except such as are
for the protection and the ■ennobling
of the recipients of her love.
All honor to pure and noble moth
erhood. It is the nearest approach
this earth shows to the love of Him
whose name is the synonym for love.
Isn’t it Handsome?
It is not needed that we should invite
the attention of our readers to the mag
nificient full page advertisement of the
Franklin Publishing house; that speaks
for itself.
The Franklin acknowledges no supe
rior in the South, in the extent and com
pleteness of its facilities, in the compre
hensiveness of its equipments, in the va
riety and range of its work, and in the
substantial and fine qualities of its pro
ductions. It aims to “lead the van,”
and it does it. It was established in
1843 ami leads the South in 1887.
In the first place they are State print
ers, and do the work for the great com
monwealth of Georgia. They are law
book publishers, make all kinds of blank
books, ami do all kinds of commercial
printing, lithographing, electrotyping,
etc. Their publications are as follows:
The Christian Index, the Southern Cultivator,
The Atlanta Medical and Surgical Journal,
and Kind H ords. These all have large
circulations, which are constantly grow
ing under the enterprising, liberal and
progressive plans of the publishers.
The Index is the oldest Baptist weekly
in the South, and the Cultivator is the
oldest agricultural periodical in the
South. Both stand in the front rank of
their kind, and in fact so do the other
publications.
But the Franklin Publishing House
does not by any means confine itself to
the work of publishing. It does an im
mense amount of jobprintingof all kinds,
having twenty two presses in constant
operation. In addition, it has the lar
gest and completest book bindery in the
South, ami turns out an almost incredi
ble amount of work in this line.
In a word, it is a complete publishing
and printing house and bindery. We
take pride in bringing such a house
before its readers, and trust that its pat
ronage may grow as rapidly and steadily
in the future as in the past.
Our railroad friends can find in all this
broad land no house so well prepared to
meet their wants' in the printing and
blank-book lines, and we urge them to
bestow their favors on the Franklin. It
is unquestionably the house for them.
We know whereof we speak.

COME SOUTH,
Young Man!
We wish to sell our Business. It is a
Produce Shipping House, with a trade in
S. Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana.
Its customers are the solid merchants of
the towns and cities south of us, so that we
know very little of what other merchants
call “bad debts.”
From live to twenty thousand dollars can
be used profitably in the business.
Dalton, Ga., is one of the healthiest and
most pleasant places in the South—at the
same time one of the cheapest in which to
live and do business.
Its wagon trade extends forty miles into
adjacent counties, furnishing our Produce
Supplies.
It would suit a person who has had ex
perience in the Produce Commission Busi
ness — as this could be added as a depart
ment and be made to ptjy handsomely.
Dalton is 40 miles southwest from Chat
tanooga, by rail —100 miles northwest from
Atlanta—4.o miles north of Home, Ga., ami
about 135 miles northeast from Birming
ham, Ala.
Dalton is the best point in the State for
such a business, having shipping facilities
not excelled by any place in the State, ex
cept one —Atlanta.
Will also sell a residence in town, and
some very rich farming land, near town, if
desired. Fuller particulars given on ap
plication.
As a matter of reference will also furnish,
if desired, a list of Northern residents, to
give you their views of the country.
