Excursion to French Lick, Sunday, October 6.

The Monon will run an excursion to West Baden and French Lick Springs Sunday, October 6, the fare for the round trip being $1.75. All from Rensselaer and vicinity who desire to take the train here, from which place the train will start, can do so, but the exact hour of leaving has not atj yet been decided upon, but the schedule will be published in full in a later issue. The round trip fare from Rensselaer is $1.75 and the distance there and return is 412 miles. Those who have never visited French Lick or West Baden-—the latter resort one mile this side of French Lick —will enjoy the trip immensly. There are many hotels in the “valley,” including the fine big round brick hotel df Lee Sinclair—an uncle of Lee E., I. A., and Miss Viola GLazebrook of Rensselaer —and ‘’the big Taggart hotel at French Lick.

The topography of the country in the southern part of the state Is different from what it is here, and there is much fine scenery there. At this season of the year the trip should be a very pleasant one, and the half day spent in Indiana’s noted Catlsbad will give you an altogether different idea of it than you have gotten from the Indianapolis News and the republican press' of the country. The excursion will reach French Lick about noon, and leave on the return trip in the evening, giving about a half day there.
