In the Morning by the Bright
Light.
Words and Music bv James Bland, of Haverly
Georgia Minstrels, and sung by him with un
bounded applause.
I’m gwine away by the light of the moon,
Want all the children for to follow me;
I hope I’ll meet you darkeys soon,
Halle, halle, halle, hallelujah !
So tell the brothers that you meet,
Want all the children for to follow me;
That I will travel on my feet,
Halle, halle, halle, hallelujah!
Chorus.
In the morning, morning by the bright
light,
Hear Gabriel’s trumpet in the morning!
Go get a match and light that lamp,
Want all the children for to follow me ;
And show me the way to the Baptist camp,
Halle, halle, halle, hallelujah !
We’ll have beefsteak and sparerib stew.
Want all the children for to follow me ;
And nice boiled onions dipped in dew,
Halle, halle, halle, hallelujah!
In the morning, etc.
I’ll take my old banjo along,
Want all the children for to follow me,
In case the boys should sing a song,
Halle, halle, halle, hallelujah !
For no one has to pay no fare,
Want all the children for to follow me;
So don’t forget to curl your hair,
Halle, halle, halle, hallelujah !
In the morning, etc.
Cupid and Sikey.
The following correspondence, we
feel very sure, explains itself.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 20,1889.
Dear Jack:—l got here safe. I came
by the W. &A. It landed me right in the
Union Depot in Atlanta. All the street
car lines start from or within one square of
the Union Depot. So I got out to Aunt
Jane’s, on Peachtree St., all right. I am
so glad you bought my ticket over the W.
& A., or I would have had to omnibus it
in Atlanta. The W. &A.is so nice that I
call it the Cupid of the railroads.
Fondly and trustingly yours,
SALLIE CLORINDA,
Cincinnati, 0., Aug. 25,1889.
My Darling Sallie Clo: —Your sweet
letter of Tuesday reached me on Wednesday
morning. 1 know you must have mailed
it on the W. & A., or it would not have got
here that soon. I had ought to have
answered sooner but have been desperate
busy.
You say you call the W. & A. the Cupid
of the railroads. Well when you were on
it you were its Sikey. You are always my
Sikey. I throw you a kiss via the W. &A.
Your Jack forever,
Jack Harker.

PAPA WORKS IN THE W. & A. SHOPS.
Cheap Rates to Lookout.
The Kennesaw Gazette, the official
organ of the Western A Atlantic road,
contains the following item, of interest
here:
“The Western & Atlantic Railroad
and the East Tennessee, Virginia &
Georgia railway have agreed upon a
round trip rate of $3 from Atlanta to
Chattanooga and return for all persons
desirous of spending Sunday on Look
out Mountain.
This rate is good on trains leaving
Atlanta on both roads after noon Sat
urdays and as late as Western & At
lantic train No. 3, leaving Atlanta at
7:50 A. m. Sundays. Passengers can
return to Atlanta on any train leaving
Chattanooga on Sunday and also on
the first trains out of Chattanooga on

both roads on Monday morning.
The public will doubtless greatly
enjoy the opportunity thus given them
by the two roads of finding a “cool
place” to spend Sunday. The grand
eur of the surroundings also affords a
treat that can scarcely be equalled in
America.
Three dollars to Chattanooga and
return from Atlanta. All aboard!
Like rates will apply from Western
& Atlantic stations, including Marietta,
Cartersville and others.”
The above action by the two com
peting roads from Atlanta, is one of
the greatest and most progressive
movements yet made by these roads.
It means that during the summer
months excursion rates every Saturday
are given to Lookout Mountain, and
the result will be unprecedented
crowds to that popular summer resort,
as well as increased travel to this city.

Who Will Secure the Lease of the Road ?
It is now generally known that the
Western & Atlantic Railroad will not
be sold by the state of Georgia. This
much has been agreed upon and the
further fact has been agreed that the
road will be leased to the highest bidder
for the term of twenty years. It is
semi-officially announced that Senator
Brown will not attempt to renew his
lease, and that no interests represented
by him will submit bids. The Rich
mond Terminal (East Tennessee, Vir
ginia & Georgia) and the Louisville &
Nashville, are thought to be the most
formidable bidders, and it is believed
one or the other will secure it. If the
East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia is
successful, it will end the competition
between this city and Atlanta, as it
will put the two parallel lines, now
between the two cities, practically
under one management. If the Louis
ville & Nashville secures it the latter
will thereby obtain an entry into cen
tral Georgia and an air line to all in
tents and purposes from St. Louis
to Atlanta via Chattanooga.—Chatta

Five Ways to Cure a Cold.
1. Bathe the feet in hot water and
drink a pint of hot lemonade. Then
sponge with salt water and remain in
a warm room.
2. Bathe the face in very hot water
every five minutes for an hour,
3. Snuff up the nostrils hot salt water
every three hours.
4. Inhale ammonia or menthol.
5. Take four hours’ active exercise
in the open air.
The Medical News, which recom
mends the above, says that summer
colds are the worst of all colds often
times, as it is then difficult to protect
one’s self properly. A ten grain dose
of quinine will usually break up a cold
in the beginning. Anything that will
set the blood actively in circulation
Will do it whether it be drugs or the
use of a bucksaw.
“Are you going?”
“Well, I should smile.”
“By what route ?”
“By the W. & A., of course; if not
I couldn’t smile.”
