Democratic Sentinel, Volume 9, Number 46, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 December 1885 — Are You Going to New Orleans or Florida? [ARTICLE]

Are You Going to New Orleans or Florida?

If so, you can go via the Monon Route, via Louisville or Cincinnati, and see the Mammoth Cave, Nashville, Blount Springs, Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, and the Gulf coast for the same money that will take you through the dreary, uninhabited Mississippi swamps. No one should think of going South without visiting the Mammoth Cave, the great natural wonder of this continent. So much has been written of this world-famous wonder that it is impossible to say anything new in regard to it—it cannot be described; its caverns must bo explored, its darkness felt, its beauties seen, to be appreciated or realized. From Mobile to New Orleans (141 miles) the ride along the Gulf coast is alone worth the entire cost of the whole trip. In full sight of the Gulf all the way, past Ocean Springs, Mississippi City, Pass Christian, Bay St. Louis, and Beauvoir, the home of Jeff Davis. When you decide to go South make up your mind to travel over the line that passes through the best country and gives you the best places to stop'over. This is emphatically the Monon Route, in connection with the Louisville and Nashville and the Cincinnati Southern Railways. Pullman Palace Sleepers, Palace Coaches; double daily trains. The best line to Cincinnati, Louisville, New Orleans, or Florida. For full information, descriptive books, pamphlets, etc., address E. O.
