Rensselaer Republican, Volume 17, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 January 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 Monos Bouts 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; we are confident yon cannot select a line to the South enjoying half the advantages that are possessed b y the Mon on Route and its Southern connections. No one should think of going South without visiting thu 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 be explored, its darkness felt, its beauties seen, to be appreciated or realized. It is the greatest aatural curiosity—Niagara not excepted—and he whose expectations are not satisfied by its marvelous avenues, domes and starry grottoes must either be a fool or a demi-goo. From Mobi e 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 heme of Jeff Davis. When you decide to go South make np your mind to travel over the line that passes through the best country and gives you the best places to atop over. This Is emphatically the Monoh Route, in connection with the Louisville and Nashville and the Cincinnati Southern Railways. Pullman Falaco Sleepers, Palace Coaches, double daily trains. The best to Cincinnati, Lonlsville, New Orleans or Florida. For full information, descriptive books, pamphlets, etc., address E. O. McCormick, Northern Passenger Agent Monon Route, 123 E.
