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.

FIRST VOLLEY FROM THE CONFEDERATES. 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. —Cincinnati Hotel Journal. 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. OTJR. “ MIDSUMMER ” NUIVEBER. ATLANTA, CA., JULY 15, 1889. 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.

We have nothing further to say abcut the matter, except that the physicians give it as their opinion that the boys may pull through, but it was a nar row escape.— Boston Conner. “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”.
