Pat Cleburne in the Way.
Faix! comrades, halt, and hug the ground,
Bedad, the divil’s to pay !
The woods samed clear; but sure we’ve
found
Pat Cleburne in the way.
“An ugly foight?’’ that’s truth ye spake,
Thim words a saint moight say ;
Begorra! how with fear ye quake —
Pat Cleburne’s in the way.
At Mission Ridge he bate us back,
Tho’ else we won the fray,
At Ringgold, too, we found, alack I

Now at New Hope—no hope at all

No man can scale a burning wall —
Pat Cleburne’s in the way.
lie’s Erin’s pride—l’ll mash your hands
If on him slurs ye’d lay,
Tho’ ’gainst me too with death’s bolt stands

“A sowljer grand ?” he’s more, ye’ll grant,
A jintleman, tho’ in gray,
His praise we spake, tho’ we don’t want

And whin fame’s tower the good and great
Would cloimb to wear the bay.
There too, they’ll foind on the top sate,

The New Whitlock.
Marietta, Ga., to Have a New 100 Room
Hotel—The Architect at Work on the
Plans.
Mr. M. G. Whitlock, proprietor of
the Whitlock Hnise, Marietta, Ga.,
which burned to the ground some time
ago, and at present proprietor of the
Elmwood House, in that city, has archi
tects at work on the plans for a one
hundred room hotel to be erected as
soon as possible. The grounds for the
new hotel have been bought already
by Joseph M. Brown, traffic manager
of the Western & Atlantic Railroad,
a very wealthy and enterprising young
man of Atlanta.
The grounds are a very beautiful
grove of oak trees containing ten acres
and handsomely situated, at a comfort
able and convenient distance from the
W. & A. R. R. depot.
The hotel will be built after the very
latest style of hotel architecture, with
every possible convenience and com
fort, and will, when completed, contain
one hundred guests’ rooms.
Bonds will be sold to raise the
required money, and already twelve
thousand dollars have been subscribed,
and there will be no trouble to raise
all the money that is needed to build
such a hotel as is contemplated.
Mr. Maxwell, of the Palace, who

has just built a handsome home in
Marietta, thinks such a hotel as Whit
lock contemplates building will pay
from the day it is opened, and make
money for its owners every day in the
year.
Marietta is a noted health resort and
possesses one of the most pleasant, as
well as healthful climates of any city
in the world. Asthma, catarrh, lung
and all such troubles are not known
there.
The city is crowded the year round
with tourists and others seeking a quiet
place to rest from care, worry, hard
labor and the vexations of business
turmoil. It is only twenty miles north
of Atlanta, and many people much
prefer to live in Marietta and do busi
ness in Atlanta.
The citizens of Marietta are cer
tainly to be congratulated on the
bright prospects of having such an
elegant hotel structure erected in their
beautiful city, and such men as Whit
lock and Brown are just the people to
carry the building forward with speed
and energy to a successful completion.

Say, you, did you hear anything
drop ?
Yes, I heard the fellows drop on
the floor who were attempting to
match the W. & A.
Great spikes I what a bump it was.
The W. & A. runs sixteen passen
ger trains per day, and runs them on
time, too.

A Big Scoop.
The Soddy Coal Company Gets an Import
ant Railroad Contract.
Mr. J. T. Hill, Secretary and Trea
surer of the Soddy Coal and Iron
company, returned yesterday from
Augusta, Ga., where he has been for a
week past in conference with the offi
cials of the Georgia Railroad, running
from Atlanta to Augusta and Savan
nah. The Soddy company were
bidders for the contract to furnish coal
to the railroad company, and after
sharp bidding by several Alabama
companies, the Soddy bid was accept
ed, although there were several lower
in price. The contract is for 50,000
tons, run of the mines, or 200 tons per
day. Mr. Hill closed up the contract,
signed the papers and returned home
rejoicing. Soddy is regarded as a
very superior coal for use in locomo
tives and steam engines and is coming
into very popular use. — Chattanooga
Times, June 25 1889.
The Times might have added that
the W. & A. gets the hauling to At
lanta of the above mentioned coal.
There is not a road leading out of
Atlanta which presents such a variety
of beautiful scenery within its first
fifty miles, as does the Western & At
lantic. This is why it is the favorite
road to all who wish to spend a day or
two out of the city without going but
a short distance.
Independence-Day Poetry.
An Idyl of the Fourth.
Jimmy, hold the rocket tight,
Hold her tight,
Hold her tight,
Till I try to strike a light,
Strike a light,
Strike a light.
Oh, won’t she make a fly
When I touch her off—my eye!
Shooting right up to the sky,
And so bright,
And so bright I
Now I’m lighting the fusee,
The fusee,
The fusee,
And you keep your eye on me,
Eye on me,
Eye on me.
There she goes Iha I * * *

“Heads the List.”
The record of the Western & At
lantic Railroad company in the matter
of handling perishable business is ab
solutely unequaled in the southern
states.
The immense amounts of oranges,
watermelons and other fruits and veg
etables, as well as fresh meats and all
other classes of perishable freight which
are handled by this line are the highest
proofs of the fact that it is considered
by the public as being the safest road to
ship perishable freight over.
For perishable freight this is a mat
ter of direct consequence, and it fol
lows that all other kinds of freight are
handled with the utmost promptness
and efficiency.
Since the change of gauge the facil
ities for handling freight have been
improved immensely. The Western
& Atlantic record is attested by the
fact that before the change of gauge
it used to handle an average of about
60 different roads’ cars per month;
whereas, now it sometimes handles as
many as 240 other roads’ cars per
month.
It was formerly a saying, that “all
roads lead to Rome.” It might now
very well be made a proverb in trans
portation circles that “All classes of
business seek the Western & Atlantic
as being the most desirable of all trade
channels.”
The W. & A. is always “on time”.
