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. Our patrons will find some very interesting[reading on the third page ofjhis issue.

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 OUR “FIRST .A.UTTT]VETSr ’’ MTTIVEBER.. ATLANTA, CA., SEPTEMBER I, 1889. 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. —Chattanooga Times. The Western & Atlantic Rail road. 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 nooga Times. 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.” NO. 17.
