“©nhj n private.”
Only a private! his jacket of gray
Is stained by the smoke and the dust;
As Bayard, he’s brave ; as Rupert, he’s gay;
Reckless as Murat in heat of the fray,
But in God is his only trust.
Only a private! to march and fight,
To suffer and starve and be strong ;
With knowledge enough to know that the
might
Os justice and truth, and freedom of right,
In the end must crush out the wrong.
Only a private ! no ribbon or star
Shall gild with false glory his name!
No honor for him in braid or in bar,
His Legion of Honor is only a scar,
And his wounds are his roll of fame!
Only a private ! one more here slain
On the field lies silent and chill!
And in the far south a wife prays in vain
One clasp of the hand she may ne’er clasp
again,
One kiss from the lips that are still.
Only a private ! there let him sleep !
He will need no tablet nor stone;
For the mosses and vines o’er his grave will
creep,
And at night the stars through the cloud
will peep,
And watch him who lies there alone.
Only a martyr! who fought and who fell
Unknown and unmarked in the strife!
But still as he lies in his lonely cell
Angel and Seraph the legend shall tell —
Such a death is eternal life!
—F. W. Dawson.
Richmond, Va., October 24, 1866.
“The Gem City of Georgia.”
This is the title which has been be
stowed upon Marietta, the historic,
charming, enterprising, salubrious lit
tle city which is already well known
to many northern tourists, and is
yearly becoming more popular as a
winter and • summer resort. Marietta
possesses a first-class hotel in the
Whitlock House, of which Messrs.
Whitlock & Clancey are now proprie
tors, Mr. J. H. Clancey having recent
ly purchased a half interest in the
property. Mr. Clancey will be re
membered as proprietor of the Sea
Island Hotel, Beaufort, S. C., some
seasons ago. He is a thorough boni
face, full of vim and go, a liberal yet
judicious advertiser, and will make
Marietta and the Whitlock House
known in every part of the country.
The hotel has undergone a course
of renovating, repainting, refreshing,
&c., which makes it second to
none in the state, and fully up to the
best northern standard. Marietta is
fortunate in its population, which is
composed of wide-awake, energetic
and enterprising people. Mr. Joseph
M. Brown (son of U. S. Senator

Joseph E. Brown) has just given $35,-
000 for a large tract of land, which
he is now converting at great expense
into a beautiful park. Among other
things which go to demonstrate that
Marietta is a live place, it may be
mentioned that it is to be lighted by
electricity, and is soon to have a street
railway, new waterworks, and many
other improvements only found in
cities five times its size.
Marietta’s claims to patronage as a
resort are what will most interest
readers at the present time. It is
only 20 miles distant from Atlanta,
on the Western & Atlantic Railroad.
A handsomely illustrated little book
has been issued, and copies may be
procured by addressing Messrs. Whit
lock & Clancey, giving much interest
ing information about Marietta, and
the region roundabout, which is rich
in historical reminiscences of the late
war. Marietta’s elevation above the
sea is 1,132 feet, and upon the sum
mits of several of the beautiful hills
within its limits there is an altitude
attained of possibly a couple of scores
or more of feet above this ; hence, it
can readily be noted that the atmos
phere is Very fine and the scenery
charming.
To the inhabitants of the region
south, desirous of escaping the ex
treme heat and the malarial influen
ces which are so deleterious to health
during the summer months, there is
n o better resort than Marietta ; while
ATLANTA, CA., APRIL I, 1889.
those who would seek refuge from the
chilling blasts of the north and west
find this a delightful “half-way place”
between the rigors of the winter
climate of their homes and the warmth
of Florida during the early winter and
early spring. One of her choicest ad
vantages, and one, by the way, which
is not possessed by any other summer
or winter resort in probably all the
south, is the fact that tourists or
wayfarers stopping here not only
secure the advantages of splendid at
mosphere, pure freestone water, lovely
scenery, and associations with a resi
dent population noted for culture and
refinement, but they are also within
one hour’s ride of the metropolis of the
southeast, Atlanta; and with seven
through and local passenger trains per
day each way, running at reasonable
hours, one can go and return at a
slight cost, whether the object be “to
go shopping,” to. pay social calls on
friends in Atlanta, to spend a few
hours enjoying anew the bustling ac
tivity of business life, or in the even
ings to attend any theatrical or other
entertainment which may he on hand.
All these advantages can be enjoyed
by those who wish to spend every
night in Marietta — Hotel Gazette.

1 Against suretiship, 6 idleness, 12 and
mischievousness. 16 seven things hateful to God.
MY son, if thou be surety for thv friend,
if thou hast stricken thy hand with a
stranger,
2 Thou art snared with the words of thy
mouth, thou art taken with the words of
thy mohth.
3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thy
self, when thou art come into the hand of
thy friend ; go, humble thyself, and make
sure thy friend.
4 Give not sleep to thine eyes,nor slumber
to thine eyelids.
5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hands
of the hunter, and as a bird from the hands
of the fowler.
6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider
hei ways, and be wise:
7 Which having no guide, overseer, or
ruler,
8 Provided) her meat in the summer, and
gathereth her food in the harvest.
9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard?
when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a
little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 So shall thy poverty come as one that
travelled), and thy want as an armed man.
12 A naughty person, a wicked man,
walketh with a froward mouth.
13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh
with,his feet, he teacheth with his fingers:
14 Frowardness is in his heart, he devis
eth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
15 Therefore shall his calamity come
suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken
without remedy.
16 These six things doth the Lord hate :
yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and
hands that shed innocent blood.
18 An heart that deviseth wicked im
aginations, feet that be swift in running to
mischief.
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and
he that soweth discord among brethren.
The Western Atlantic Railroad
is the only line by which passengers
coming from the west or north-west
make connection in the Union Passen
ger Depot, -Atlanta. It is also an im
portant matter for those coming to
Atlanta to bear in mind 'that all the
street car lines in the city start from
within one square of the Union Pas
senger Depot, and passengers reaching
Atlanta from the west by any other
landed more than four squares
from the line of the nearest street car.
Some of the grandest scenery in
America is exhibited from Lookout
Mountain, rightabove the city of Chat
tanooga. By the Western & Atlantic
Railroad from Atlanta, and the rail
road leading to the top of the moun
tain you now go upon grand old Look
out without the tedious hack drive
which was formerly an inevitable part
of the trip. See that your tickets read
over the W. & A. R. R.
