The City of Atlanta.
Atlanta is the beautiful capital of Geor.

over thousand feet above the sea level.

of road run north and east, three go west
and northwest and three to the South
Atlantic and Gulf ports. The city has an
excellent system of public schools and az

In 1850 the city had but 5000 people. The
visitor rides along miles of streets Dor

hardly be matched for beauty by any
street in any city of America. With its

thriftless population and fifty years be-
hind the times" will be not a little amaz-
ed to find that it is probably quarter of
century in advance of many pretentious
Northern towns, and that there is much
in Atlanta which most Northern places
could profitably initiate, and nothing in
which the Gate City is behind them. II
is pleasant to speak of the delightful and
hospitable manner in which an accred-
tied visitor is received in Atlanta, and OF
the many ways in which his stay there is
made a continuous delight. All who visit
the fair will be amply provided for
though all the available room in the city
will be required to accommodate the Wis

Earth has no equal area comparable with
the South in natural resources and in ali
the elements for diversified industry. En-.
tering as we now are upon another era OF
business prosperity and confidence, CAPT
tai will soon be seeking new opportunities
for investment, and the Atlanta fair will
start inquiries which will present mum
beress opportunities for good invest
ments. Within the coming ten years a
thousand millions of dollars will go into
Southern enterprises from the North and
from Europe which can be traced to les
sons, suggestions and impressions given
and taught by the great fair. The result
ing material advances and successes will
not only unite men in peaceful pursuits,
but will tend to do away with the militant
and destructive ideas which have dom
mated the world in the past and substi-
tute for them combination of men in
peaceful industries which will conduce to
greater comfort and happiness, and which
will hasten the advent of that suspicious
day

And the battle flags are furled,
