Uctorc making your arrangements to fol low the advice of the "thousands who have already gone," it would be we'l to consider what has been done to make the journey to your 'Homes in the West" as pleasant and free from danger as human skill and fore sight can accomplish. By consolidation and construction, a road has been put iuto operation on the shortest possible line from Nashville, Tenn.. to St. Louis, "the future great City of the world." This line, the ST. LOUIS fc SOUTHEASTERN RAIL WAY, has, during the past year, earned au envia ble rcputatiou by ita smooth track,- prompt time, sure connections, and the magnifi cence of its pisseugeri equipment.

No other Hue pretends to offer such udviii'.ages, either iu distance, time, r iq'iipuiL'iit. Why, then, journey by circuitous routes? Do not be induced to purchase tickets to St. Louis or the West by any other line, remember that The "St. Louis & Southeastern" is the shortest, cheapest, quickest, best and only line under one management from Nashville to St. Louis, and is from GO to 00 miles the shortest to St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Deuver, California, Texas, and all western points.
