His Chat About the Early Days and the De-
velopment Of . southern City.
As the legend goes the first railroad
ticket ever issued to Atlanta was to
William McGaughcy. who now lives in
Red Clay. and is now in his eighty
ninth year. The story is an interesting
one. He had represented Murray
County in the Legislature, after having
served several years as its Sheriff, and
walked to and from Millcdgeville. then
the capital Of the State. Returning
home he refused to offer for reelection.
and went into the trading business. and
shortly afterward went to Augusta with
a load Of hogs to market. On the way
there three Of the hogs dropped out Of
the car and were killed. The company
adjusted the loss by offering him free
pass back to what was then Marthas-
vile. In issuing the pass the officer in
charge remarked that 1.-THE question Of
change Of name had been debated
long enough, and he proposed to issue
the pass 10 Atlanta, }" which name had
been practically settled on by the COM
pany. This was done, and Mr.. Nc
Gaughey made the first ride on ticket
issued to Atlanta.

time its first house was built, and when

lous. Why, remember that the finest
patch ever saw grew on
the ground where the Kimball now

GETTING MARRIED TO ESCAPE
CHOLERA

An esteemed New York contem-
porary, says the Philadelphia Times,
has rather an intricate moral article
by Richard Proctor on the question
of the comparative statistics of dis
ease and death and related to mar
riage or no marriage Statisticians
generally admit that the married do
not succumb to cholera and other
infectious diseases as rapidly as the
unmarried, and Mr.. Proctor appears
to fear that on this ground all the
weak-nerved, tea-drinking old maids
and bachelors will fly off to the PAL
son and tie up before the threaten
ed coming of cholera this spring.
The thing feared is not exactly a
doing of evil that good may come,
but the doing of questionable good
that one evil may not come while
other evils are sure TO appear. A
good many old maids and bachelors
fear marriage more than they fear
cholera, and such are safe in spite of
Mr.. Proctor's nisgivings. If peo-
pie about to get married were in the
habit of considering such nice points
of science and morals such learned
articles would have the force inten-
ded for them. But whether in the
pursuit of sentiment Or money, the
bound-to-get-married folks do not
seem to pay much Difference tc
science until afterwards.
When men and women are fixed
for life they can scold or preach
with IMMUNITY, but what is wanted
is moral sense that regards the &C
tual duties and veracities of married
life more than any mere talk about
the marriage Of people especially Ii
able to disease. But this is q deep
er problem.
