ATLANTA.
Brief description of the Metropolis of
the south.

EDITOR KENTUcKIAN:
Atlanta, the capital of Georgia, the
Empire State of the South" is sit
uated nearly centrally in the great
agricultural and mineral quadrilate-
raj forming the southeastern section
of the Union.
The elevation of Atlanta at the
railway track, Union passenger depot,
is $50 feet above the ocean level, a
higher elevation, with one exception
Denver, COLI than that of any other
city of equal population in the United
| States.
Considering the many superior adj
vantages possessed by Atlanta, mat
ural and artificiaD, her geographical
position, natural drainage, supple
mented by skillful sanitary engineer
ing, her fine climate, her general bus
mess facilities, her many churches
and excellent schools, it is not at all
surprising that Atlanta can justly be
called 1.-THE Metropolis of the South
She is far ahead of her sister cities
in rapid increase of population and
wealth, at this time her population
exceeds 10000.
New residences ranging from the
cosy cottage of the thrifty wage Garner
to the spacious and elegant mansion
of the rich, are being built all over
the city.
The suburbs are being rapidly i'm
proved; beautiful suburban towns
connected by electric car lines, are
springing into existence and activity
This year, more than any other will
cause Georgia to be doubly proud of
her capital, as the great international
exposition will be held in her arms
this fall.
Piedmont park, located two miles
from the center of the city, has been
selected as the site for the exposi-
ton.
More than million and half dol
lars will be expended by the manage
ment of the exposition
Great inland lakes, thirty acres in
area, have been constructed and with
few exceptions, all the buildings will
have water frontage.
On these lakes electric launches and
gondolas will play, affording an
agreeable mode of transit from one
part of the grounds to another. In
addition to the government building,
plans have been accepted and work
commenced on the following:
Manufacturers and liberal arts, ma
chinery, mineral and forestry, Agri-
cultural, electricity and transporta
ton, woman's and administration
buildings; besides these, provision is
being made for suitable music and
lccJuTe nails.
I he fact that the South was not adj |
equately represented at the Worlds
Fair, led to the inception of this en-
terprise, which has the object of en-
couraging the trade relat ons already |
existing between the southern states
and the Republics OF Mexico and
Central and South America.
Every state in the South should be
proud to have exhibits at this great
exposition. So let the Bluegrass
state be represented in her best col
ors. LILLIAN B. PRICE,
