The Garden South.

The South is destined to be, and is rapidly becoming, the garden of the United States. Here life is easiest to live; the rigorous winters do not eat up the fruits of the toil of summer, nor are the summers so trying as many northern people have supposed. “I used to live only half the year” said a northern farmer recently settled in the south, “and I used to work all the time then; Now I work half the time and live all the year through.” Home seeker’s excursion tickets will be sold over tne Monon Route to nearly all points in the south at the rate of on} first class fare (one way); tickets good returning on any Tuesday or Friday within 31 days from date of sale. Liberal stop-overs are allowed. These excursions start (and tickets are sold) Auggust 17, 18 and 315 September 1, 14, 15; October 5, 6,19 and 20. Call on W.' H, Beam, agent of the Monon Route, for further information.
