MAIN EXPOSITION BUILDING-PIEDMONT PARK, ATLANTA, GA.
On the Heights of Mission
Ridge.
BY J. AUGUSTINE SIGNAIGO.
When the foes, in conflict heated,
Battled over road and bridge,
While Bragg sullenly retreated
From the heights of Mission Ridge—
There, amid the pines and wildwood,
Two opposing colonels fell,
Who had schoolmates been in childhood,
And had loved each other well.
There, amid the roar and rattle,
Facing Havoc’s fiery breath,
Met the wounded two in battle,
In the agonies of death.
But they saw each other reeling
On the dead, and dying men,
And the old time, full of feeling,
Came upon them once again.
When that night the moon came creeping,
With its gold streaks, o’er the slain,
She beheld two soldiers, sleeping,
Free from every earthly pain.
Close beside the mountain heather,
Where the rocks obscure the sand,
They had died, it seems, together,
And they clasped each other’s hand.
The Western & Atlantic Railroad is
known as the “old reliable.”

The Piedmont Exposition
will open October 7, and everything
will be complete and in order. The
Exposition will run exactly four weeks.
This Exposition will be the greatest
ever held in Atlanta, and that is say
ing a deal, as Atlanta has the
greatest and best of everything.
This paper is not large enough to
give in detail the myriad of wonder
ful things to be seen at the Piedmont
Exposition. Everything in the way
of products of mills, factories, shops,
mines, forests and farms will be there.
Horse racing, bicycle racing, fireworks
and sports of every kind, including a
big wild west show by real live Indians
and cow-boys, who are already on the
grounds. There will be grand street
pageants and no pains will be spared
to interest and amuse the visitors.
The only sleeping cars, Nasnville to
Atlanta, run ©ver the W. & A. R. R.

The above “rapid transit” bill of
fare may be necessary for some railroad
eating houses, but the track of the
Western & Atlantic is so firm and
smooth, the cars so easy-riding and
the locomotives so fast and powerful
that great speed is safely made, giving
plenty of time to discuss the excellent
meals provided at the famous dining
stations of the W. & A. R. R.
Psalm cxix.
This psalm containeth sundry prayers, praises,
and professions of obedience.
DALETH.
25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust; quick
en thou me according to thy word.
26 1 have declared my wavs, and thou
heardest me; teach me thy statutes.
27 Make me to understand the way of
thy precepts; so shall 1 talk of thy won
drous works.
28 My soul melteth for heaviness ;
strengthen thou me according unto thy
word.
29 Remove from me the way of living;
and grant me thy law graciously.
30 1 have chosen the way of truth; thy
judgements have I laid before me.
31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies; O
Lord, put me not to shame,
32 I wiH run the way of thy command
ments, when thou shalt enlane my heart.
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.
