Hail Columbia.
Hail Columbia I happy land!
Hail, ye heroes 1 heav’n-born band,
Who fought and bled in freedom’s cause,
Who fought and bled in freedom’s cause,
And When the storm of war was gone,
the peace yoiir valor Won.
Let independence be odr bdastj
Ever mindfdl whdt it cost;
Ever grateful for the prize,
Let its altar reach the skies!
Immortal patriots, rise once more 1
Defend your rights, defend your shore;
Let no rude foe with impious hands,
Let no rude foe with impious hands,
Invade the shrine where sacred lies
Os toil and blood the well earn’d prize!
While ofFring peace sincere and just,
In heav’n we place a manly trust
That truth and justice will prevail,
And every scheme of bondage fail.
Sound, sound the trump of fame,
Let Washington’s great name
Ring thro’ the world with great applause,
Ring thro’ the world with great applause,
Let every clime to freedom dear,
Listen with a joyful ear,
With equal skill, with god-like power,
He governs in the fearful hour
Os horrid war, or guides with ease
The happier hours of honest peace!
Behold the chief who now commandsl
Once more to serve his country stands
The rock on which the storm will beat,
The rock on which the storm will l>eat,
But arm’d in virtue, firm and true,
His hopes are fixed in heaven and you!
When hope was sinking in dismay,
When gloom obscur’d Columbia’s day,
His steady mind, from changes free,
Resolv’d on death and victory I
No Quarantine on the W. & A.
We have noticed, with profound re
gret, the statement that yellow fever
had broken out and been declared epi
demic in Jacksonville. It had previ
ously made its appearance at one or
two other points in Florida, and the
indications are that this dread visitor
will remain in the beautiful state south
of us for a number of weeks if not for
some two or three months. We trust
very much indeed that the hand of a
merciful Providence may be so placed
above our neighboring state as will
protect her from the threatened
scourge.
In the meantime, however, the citi
zens are hurrying to points in the
mountains of Georgia, the Carolinas,
etc. To all who are compelled, from
apprehension of danger or otherwise,
to leave their homes for the next few
weeks, we can say that a hearty wel-
A. ixuxxiorous dare-devil—the very man to suit my purpose. bulweb.
come will be extended to them by the
towns on the line of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad.
While regretting the stern necessity
which forces our Florida neighbors to
leave their beautiful homes, we feel
sure that the citizens of Atlanta, Ma
rietta, Acworth, Emerson, Carters
ville, Adairsville, Calhoun, Dalton
and the other beautiful towns and vil
lages along the line of the W. & A.,
will do all in their power to make their
stay from home pleasant.
Marietta, Ga.
A Beautiful and A&ractive Little City
Noted for Its Pretty Girls and
Fine Climate.
Marietta, August 3. —Perhaps there
is not a more beautiful little city in
Georgia than Marietta. Surely there
is none so attractive in point of climate
and general advantages of health as this
“Gem City.” At the close of the late
war Marietta was a pile of ruined build
ings. Now there are elegant homes
and fine buildings instead and Marietta
is a fit representative of the wonderful
growth of the new South. The society
of Marietta is unsurpassed by any city
in the South. Many .of the most wealthy
families of Savannah, Augusta and
Atlanta; also a number of Northerners
and people from New Orleans have sum
mer homes here, and live here a great
portion of the year. We venture the as
sertion that Marietta has more wealth
than any city of its size iu the South.
The wealthiest people of Atlanta have
interests here, and Northern capitalists
invest in Marietta real estate as largely
as though the soil were rich in mineral
ores.

A Characteristic Scene in August.
The fact is, that Marietta, with its
mountain scenery,its delightful climate,
its groves and parks and rural shades
for miles around, has come to be re
garded the most delicious land in this
Sunny South of ours —a veritable
Arcadia. — Augusta Evening News.
A writer in the Atlanta Evening
Journal says:
It is now generally believed that the
next general assembly will grant a
charter for the continuation of the M.
&N. Ga. R. R. to Atlanta. The im
pression now prevails that the Western
& Atlantic Railroad can stand any
amount of rivalry.
This is a compliment which can be
paid to no other railroad in the south,
and to almost none in the north.
Verily the W. & A. has made its im
press upon the minds of statesmen and
scholars as well as upon those of tour
ists, capitalists and immigrants. If
you want to ride over the best railroad
in the south, be sure to see that your
ticket reads over the W. &. A., and if
you want to settle in the finest, most
beautiful and most healthy region in
America, come to the country trav
ersed by the W. & A.
W. &A. R. R. train No. I‘, which
leaves Atlanta at 1:35 p. m., is said
to carry, the year round, more pas
sengers than any other train on any
other road leaving Atlanta. It is
frequently a beautiful sight to look at
her as she pulls out of the union depot
with every coach and the sleeper full
to overflowing. At Chattanooga she
always “gets there,” on time, too.
The Kennesaw Route always ahead.

Old times dar am not forgotten,
Look away—look away —look away —Dixie
Land.
In Dixie Land whar I was born in,
Early on one frosty mornin’,
Look away —look away —look away —Dixie

Chorus :
Den I wish I was in Dixie,
Hooray! Hooray I
In Dixie land I took my stdrid;
To lib an’ die in Dixie,
Away, away, away down Solitli iri

Old Missus marry “Will de Weaber,”
William was a gay deceaber,
Look away, &c.
But when he put his arm around ’er.
He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder,
Look away, &c.
Den I wish I was in Dixie, &c.
His face was sharp as a butcher’s
cleaber,
But dat did not seem to grieb ’er,
Look away, &c.
Old Missus acted de foolish part,
And died for a man, dat broke her
heart,
Look away, &c.
Den I wish I was in Dixie, &c.
Now here’s a health to de next old
Missus,
And all the gals dat want to kiss us,
Look away, &c.
But if you want to drive ’way sorrow,
Come and hear dis song to-morrow,
Look away, &c.
Den I wish I was in Dixie, &c.
Dar’s buckwheat cakes and Ingun bat

Makes you fat, or a little bit fatter,
Look away, &c.
Den hoe it down an’ scratch your grab

To Dixie’s land I’m bound to trabble,
Look away, &c.
Den I wish I was in Dixie, &c.
The W. &A. Railroad company
has experienced great benefit fi m its
advance step in the way of cheap pas
senger fares. The people met it naif
way, and more, too. We don I sup
pose there has ever been as muc i sum
mer travel on the road before. This
road, by the liberal and public-spirited
course of its present managers, is do
ing a good work for Georgia. — Car
tersville Courant-American.
The Western & Atlantic Railroad’s
ticket sales for July, 1888, were 7,389
greater than for July, 1887. Its pat
rons have met it half way, and the re
sult is that they and the W. & A. are
prospering together.
