| The Western and Atlantic Rail Road
has every engine owned by them in daily
| use, except one, transporting freight from
| Chattanooga to Atlanta, as much as 2l5 and
240 loaded cars per day going over the line.
This don't look like the East Tenn Va. &
Ga. Railroad had injured the State Road
and that it had deprecated in value. On
the contrary it shows it has all the business
it can safely do and the volume is increas-
ing. And yet some people raise the cry of
sell the road while the lease still has seven
years to run.
Tuesday two boys about 10 or l6 wears
of age got off the noon train that goes to
Atlanta, and proceeded to walk toward that
city Conductor Dick Hargis said that they
got on his train at Boyce Station, Tenn,
and had tickets to Atlanta. At Kennesaw
they asked him how many times the train
stopped between there and Atlanta. When
he told them Marietta was the last stopping
place, they said they would get off there
They were well-dressed and evidently from
some city. The last seen they were walk
ing down the Railroad track toward Allan
ia, each with a grip sack in his hand.
Senator Joe" Brown is the ruling spir-
it Of the State railroad in Georgia. He was
being hauled over it one day in his special
car when the conductor came to him with
long face and informed him that a drunken
man was aboard and he didn't know what to
do with him. Where does he wish to go?'
asked the Senator, in his quiet, easy way.
8 He says he wants to go to HI" said the
man of the bell rope. ooh, vel" replied
Mr. Brown, put him off at Gainesville. "
And the town has never recovered from the
joke.
