As the legend goes the first railroad
ticket ever issued to Atlanta was to
William McGaughey. 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 Milledgeville, 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
a change of name had been debated
long enough, and he proposed to issue
the pass to Atlanta" which name had
been practically settled on by the COM

issued to Atlanta.

At that time North Georgia was

Alabama line, being thickly settled
with the Cherokees. .'Many time"
