Betore making your arrangements to fol low the advice of the 'thousands who have already gone,'.' it would be well to consider what has been done to make the journey to your 'Homes in tnc west" as pleasant aud free from danger as human skill and lore- sight can accomplish. By consolidation and construction, a road has been put into operation on the shortest possible line from Nashville, Tenn., to St. Louis, "the, future great City of the worli." This line, the ST. LOUIS & SOUTHEASTERN RAIL WAY, has, during the past year, tamed an envia ble reputation by its smooth track, prompt time, sure connections, and the magnifi cence of its passenger equipment. Its trains are made up of new and commodious day cars, p-ovided with the celebrated Mil ler eo ipl-T and p'aiform, md the Westing hii; e ;iir brake. l! is psitively the ouly line iunniug i'uiimm Pilico Drawing-Bonn Sleeping Cars tifoiijrh without change lrom Nash- v.il-.r io St. Louis. No other line pretends to oiler such adv images, either in distance, time 'r u-iipmeut. 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 hhorlest, cheapest, quickest, best aud ouly line under one management lrom Nashville to St. Louis, and is from 00 to -00 miles the shortest to St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Denver, California, Texas, and all western points. It is also the 4Chi- ciiro Shortest Line," via Evaneville. You can secure the cheapest rates for yourselves and your movables on applica tion, in person or by letter, to C.
