Was not only larger than usual, but better

joyed the hospitality of private houses, but a
portion of such as stopped at hotels and board

This year, on tbe contrary, although the
Newton Houso was jammed, Mr. Clinard, tbo
polite and gentlcmauly landlord, informes us
that there was not tbo slightest ground of
complaint. All his guests -conducted them

TO THE WEST! TO THE WEST!
Before making your arrangements to follow
the advice of the * thousands who have already

possible line from Nashville, Tenn., to St
Loui3, “ the future great City of the world,
This line, tbe
ST. LOUIS & SOUTHEASTERN RAILWAY,
has, daring the past year, earned an enviable
reputation by its smooth track, prompt time,
sure connections, and the magnificence of Its
passenger equipment. Its trains are made np
of new and commodious day cars, provided
with the celebrated Miller coupler and plat
form, and the Wostinghouse air-brake.
It is positively the only line runniug Pullman
Palace Drawing-Room Sleeping Cars through
witlunit change from Nashville to St. Louis.
other lino pretends to offer such advantages,
either in distance, time, or equipment. Why,
then, journey by circuitous routos! Do not ‘

West by any other line, remembering that
Tbe “ St. Louis & Southeastern *
is tbo shortest, cheapest, quickest, best and only
line andcr one management from Nashvlilo
St. Louis, and is from 60 to 300 miles the shor
test to St. Lonis. Kansas City. Omaha, Den
ver, California, Texas, and all Western points
It is also the “ Chicago Shortest Line,” eta Ev

Yon can seenre tho cheapest rates for your

Important Change—Only One Vacation.
Tbe Board of Trustees, we learn, adopted
the wise suggestions of the correspondent of
tbe Chronicle <£• Sentinel, which we copied and
endorsed two or three weeks ago. Hereafter
there will be but one vacation—from Com
mencement until tho 1st of October, and no
Saturday holidays. No Winter vacation, ex
cept one day at Christmas.
This change will, we think, be found bene
