Choice Publications.
Tourists, or other travelers, who at
any time contemplate a trip through
the southeast should post up on the
beauties and other attractions of this
region.
The Western & Atlantic Railroad
Company has issued a series of the
most beautiful publications which any
railroad company has ever sent out
under its name, and will take pleas
ure in enclosing them to any parties
who will send stamps to pay postage.
***
The Mountain Campaigns in Georgia;
or, War Scenes on the Western A At
lantic, is the finest publication which
has been issued, and is the acme of an
advertisement in that it does not at all
appear to be an advertisement. It is
a condensed history of the Atlanta
campaign,—the accuracy of whose
text has been endorsed by Generals
Joseph E. Johnston and William T.
Sherman. Its letter-press is superb,
and its maps and illustrations are the
very finest of their kind.
The Western A Atlantic Battle-Fields
Folder, contains a description of the
battles at each station along the line
of the Western & Atlantic Railroad,
or those engagements which occurred
near the various stations. This is il
lustrated with fine cuts, and is the
most handy and correct guide-book
which is to be found.
Ihe Western & Atlantic’s Marietta
Folder, is a beautiful 40-page pamph
let, with numerous illustrations of
scenes about Kennesaw Mountain,
Marietta and Allatoona, showing the
scenic beauties of the region, charac
teristic and historical incidents. Any
one reading this pamphlet will make
up his mind that Marietta is the piet
tiest spring-time and summer resort in
the Southeast, and the fact that there
are so many Northern and Northwest
ern people who spend the winter in
Marietta, and so many Southern peo
ple who spend the summer there attest
the good which the publication has
done.

The Western A Atlantic’s Bird’s-Eye
Map Folder, is a large map, 32 inches
long by 18 inches wide, and is a topo
graphical map of the country between
Atlanta and Chattanooga, showing the
course of the Western A Atlantic
Railroad through picturesque moun
tain country and the beautiful and
fertile plains of northwest Georgia.
The references to the battles along
this line in the Atlanta campaign are
shown by representations of lines of
men shooting at each other. The his
toric matter, illustrations, time tables,
etc., on the reverse side of the folder
are invaluable to the pleasure seeker
or traveler.
The Western A Atlantic General Map
Folder, is a large map of the United
States. It has important schedule
matter on the reverse side, and is the
best folder which is issued for those
traveling through this section.
The above publications are for free
distribution, and any one sending four
cents in postage stamps will receive
the Mountain Campaigns in Georgia, or
six cents will get that book and any
one of the other publications, or two
cents will get either of the folders, or
for twelve cents in postage stamps one
will receive the entire lot. Send post
age stamps and get such of the above
beautiful publications as you may de
sire.

The Western & Atlantic is one
Hour and fifty Minutes Quick
est to Atlanta.
Passengers leaving Cincinnati at
<8:15 p. tn., and coming via the W. &
A. R. R. arrive in the Union Depot
at Atlanta, at 1:44 p. m., the next
day; and passengers leaving Cincin
nati at the same time, and coming via
the opposition to the W. & A., are
landed over a half mile from the Union
Depot and the centre of the city of At
lanta, at 3:35 p. nt., which is one
hour and fifty minutes longer than the
time via the Western & Atlantic, be
sides having an omnibus transfer.
Passengers to Cincinnati can leave
Atlanta via the Western <fc Atlantic
K. R. at 1:40 p. m. and arrive at Cin
cinnati at 6:40 the next a. in. They
leave from the Union Depot in Atlan
ta. If going via the opposition to the
Western & Atlantic, they leave At
lanta from the small station over a
half mile from the Union Depot at
12:15 p. m., in order to reach Cincin
nati at the same time that passengers
leaving via the Western Atlantic at
1:40 p. m. do. In other words, the
time Atlanta to Cincinnati, via the
Wes'ern <£’ Atlantic, is one hour and twen
ty five minutes shorter than via the op
position, besides the advantage of start
ing from the Union Depot if you go over
the Western <fe Atlantic.
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.
Three Million Dollars !
I desire to call the attention of cap
italists to the greatest mining property
in the South, if not in the country. It
is largely developed and in active op
eration. Careful investigation will
demonstrate that with less than half a
million dollars \v\Ai which to purchase
the property, and put in additional
plant it will clear Six per cent on
a Capitalization of Three Mil
lion Dollars, or 36 per cent on
the investment, for practically all
time to come. The product is never
injuriously affected by business depres
sion; but always commands a fixed
price in gold, for it is gold itself.
This is well worth investigation if
for nothing more thifn to learn about
the grandest mining property in the
United States and Territories.

The Western A Atlantic Railroad is
the only railroad in Georgia which has
four daily freight schedules from one
of its termini to the other. Conse
quently, freight forwarded via the
Western A Atlantic, from the west to
the southeast, it it misses one schedule
has a chance at three others the same
day. This makes it emphatically a
FAST FREIGHT LINE, and shippers
have found it out, and are acting in
accordance with their interests.
Merchants and other parties in South
Carolina and North Carolina would do
well to bear in mind that the Western
<fe Atlantic and its connections are what
may be properly termed the “Fast
Freight Line,” from New Orleans to
Atlanta.
The highest evidence of the truth of
this statement is shown in the fact that
a majority of the fruit business from
New Orleans reaches Atlanta via the
Western & Atlantic Railroad.
