Grand Mardi-Gras Festival.

Why don’t you go to the New Orleans Mardigras? Twenty-five dollars for the round trip. If you do go, by all means take the Evansville Route to Nashville, thence via Decatur, Birmingham, Montgomery, and Mobile to New Orleans. The beautiful country through which you will pass, and the varied scenery, will satisfy you that it is the only route for one to travel by from Chicago to New Orleans. Besides, it is the only route running a fast train from Chicago to the South. Train leaves Dearborn Station at 4:15 p. m. daily, with palace buffet sleeping cars. Tickets will be on sale from Feb. 6 to 12, inclusive, and good for return until March 1. For maps, time-tables, and information in detail, address F. E. Scott, City Passenger aud Ticket Agent, 64 Clark street, Chicago; or, Wm. Hill, General Passenger and Ticket Agent, First National Bank Building, Chicago.
