STEDMAN. Our good steeds snuff the evening air, Our pulses with their pur pose tingle; The foeman’s fires are twink- ling there; He leaps to hear our sabers jingle! Halt! Each carbine send its whiz zing ball: Now, cling! clang! for ward all, Into the fight!’ Dash on beneath the smoking dome, Through level lightnings gallop nearer! One look to Heaven! No thoughts of home: The guidons that we bear are dearer. Charge! Cling! clang! forward all! Heaven help those whose horses fall! Cut left and right! They flee before our fierce attack! They fall, they spread in broken surges! Now, comrades, bear our wounded back, And leave the foeman to his dirges. Wheel! The bugles sound the swift recall: Cling! clang! backward all! Home, and good night! Running Trains Promptly and Safely. A prominent gentleman was talking to lis a few days ago about the Western & Atlantic Railroad, and remarked that there was one particular feature of the road which always struck him, and that was the safety which attend ed traveling upon it. “Somehow or other,” said he, “whenever I get on a train that goes over the W. & A. I feel that my life is perfectly safe, that is so far as human safe-guards can make it, and that I will not only get to my destination on the promised schedule time but that I shall inevita bly get there safe and sou ml.” Upon asking him the question, “To what do you attribute the safety to which you refer as compared with that of other roads,” he remarked : “I think that the main reason is to be found in the fact that the road has for its General Manager such a man as Bob Anderson, and for its master of trains such a man as Charlie Beards ley.” “BobAnderson,”said he “is not only a conscientious and upright man m all of his personal dealings, but A. liuxxioiTOvis dlare^ievil —ttie very naan to suit nay purpose.

SAM JONES’ TABERNACLE, AT HIS HOME, CARTERSVILLE, GA., ON THE W. & A.JI.’R. OUR. “INDIA.IXr SUMMER" NUMBER. ATLANTA, CA., OCTOBER 15, 1889. when it conies to running a railroad he is one of the safest men I have ever been thrown in contact with. In fact if we could get a phrenologist to ex amine his head I think he would tell us that the bump on Bob Anderson’s head which is more prominent than any other is the bump of caution, and, by the way, that’s a mighty good bump for a railroad man to have well devel oped on his head. We like to run fast when we know we have got a good road bed and a safe engineer and con ductor ; but we like to have the assur ance that we are running on such road bed and with such an engineer and conductor under the vigilant manage ment which makes the schedules and sees that they are carried out; and a General never had a more able Lieu tenant than Mr. Anderson has got in Beardsley. He is always on the alert. He is always thinking of the safety of the schedules and protection of life and property when he is at his instrument. Nothing seems to escape his attention, in the way of giving directions to the trains, which will insure the safe run ning of them and the maintenance of regularity of schedules. “These two men are the most perfect match for each other in their recipro cal habits and relationships that I have ever seen, and I think that beyond all uestion you can safely assert that the Western & Atlantic Railroad owes more of its reputation for safety and regularity to those two men than to any others who are actively interested in its management; and those two in the course of long years have picked out men for their engineers and conductors whom they have trained up to such a thorough knowledge of the road that it makes it a comparatively easy matter for them to run the road as well as they do.” The above are golden words and every one of them is deserved. We do not think there is any question but that Mr. R. A. Anderson, as General Man ager, has no superior in America in the particulars above referred to, and as to Mr. Beardsley, he has a reputa tion which extends very far beyond his own “little, great big” road. — State, Town and County. Some of the grandest scenery in America is exhibited from Lookout Mountain, right above the city of Chat tanooga. By the Western & Atlantic Railroad from Atlanta, and the rail road leading to the top of the moun tain you now go upon grand old Look out without the tedious hack drive which was formerly an inevitable part of the trip. See that your tickets read over the W. <fc A. R. R. The W. & A. is always “on time”. The Ostrich’ancFthe Bald Head. An Ostrich one day found a Bald Head lying on the grass, .and not noticing that it belonged to a sleeping middle-aged gentleman who always sat next to the orchestra in the theatre, took it to be an ostrich egg, and determined to hatch it out at once. The bird was sitting quietly on the supposed egg, and making plans for the education of the little ostrich soon to beborn, when, all at once, there was hatched out, not a little ostrich, but a blonde chorus girl,dressed in lilac tights and a green belt. Moral: This fable is intended to give a dim and nebulous hint of the varied and fanciful ap pointments of the West ern & Atlantic Railroad. You may not be able to see it, but it’s there. Girls of a marriageable age do not like to tell how old they are; but you can find out by following the subjoined instructions, the young lady doing the figuring: Tell her to put down the number of the month in which she was born, then to multiply it by two, then to add five, then to multiply it by fifty, then to add her age, then to subtract 365, then to add 115, then tell her to tell you the amount she has left. The two figures to the right will tell you her age and the remainder the month of her birth. For example, the amount is 822 ; she is twenty-two years old and was born in the eighth month (August). Try it. The Western & Atlantic Railroad has at Chattanooga, Atlanta and in termediate points 66 connections with its passenger trains. These in clude connections which arriving trains make with its departing’ trains, and which its arriving trains make with trains departing over other roads at various points of junction. We ven ture the remark that there is not an other road, even three times as long as the Western & Atlantic, whose pas senger trains have as many connec tions as those of the Western & At lantic. The W. & A. gets there on timer NO. 20.
