At Marietta, the most noted summer and
winter health resort of this part of the
South, we stopped for dinner which was
served in excellent shape at the Elmwood
Hotel Marietta is located near the foot
Of Kennesaw Mountain, aud was totally
destroyed during the war. 1t is now a
beautiful city of about $500 inhabitants,
and is built in the form of mary of the
smaller cities of the South, with a pretty
park in the center. 1t is in good
cotton and corn growing section. Among
the best of the many beautiful residences
for which it is noted are those belonging
to Northern and Eastern gentlemen at
tracted there by the healthtul climate. If
we ever so south to live our home will be
ill Marietta, the hospitality of whose peo>
pie we shall never forget.

tanned so nicely that they regretted that
their stay was CT but few hours duration.

with others, extends cordial welcome to
visitors and settlers who come from the
north
