The Capitol City Guards. of Atlanta
will arrive in Marietta this Wednesday
afternoon and tent in the grove near
Brnmby factory during the night. They
are enroute to Chickamauga Park to be
present at its dedication next Wednesday.
The Guards will be met outside of the
city by the Marietta Rifles, whose guests
they will be at the Elmwood Hotel at
