The St. Louis and Southeatern Railway spans the
STATE of Illinois commencing at the City Of St.Louis
and endIng at The City OF Shawneetown, on the Ohio
river. The entire length when complete, will be 139
miles, TwENTY-SEvEN MILES OF WHICH ARE
ALREADY FINISHED AND IN OPERATION. Work
is progressing on oher portions OF the road, aud it
IS the intention OF the Company to push the enter
prise 10 early completion.
This line OF roal supplies urgent need. 1t pass
through fertile and popuous section of the state
hitherto destitute OF railroad acit'es. In the pro-
duction of wheat tie district is not excelled by any
other in the Union, and the road throughout its en-
tire length PASSES OVER THE RICHEST COAL
BEDS OF ILLINOIS, row Icing probably and ex-
tensivey worked at various poil s. In view OF the
large ard increasing consumption OF coal at st.
Lons and in tue adjoining region, the profits upon
the transportation OF coal alorc will, within the liz
1t thee years, than pay the interest on the
entire bonded debt Of the Company. The total Is.
ue OF bous Is limited to $50 ,o0o equal tn about
$4,000 per mie to be issued only the construc-
tion ana equipment OF the road progresses. They
are issued under mortgage made to P. G. Calhoun,
President of the Fourth National Bank, New York.
and George Opdyke. Trustee. It's carefully avn.
and duly recoreed In all the counties through which
the road passes.

NAV therefore be confidently relied upon.
Any one who will caIeiully study these documents
cannot tail 10 become convince that this road when
completed will control large and profitable local
business TO say nothing OF its throuah traffic. 1t
will therefore, be able to pay without fail, the inter-
est on its bOnus and render the stock very ofta-
BILE investment. Gross earnib es the OF $4,000
per mile per annum will be ample To pay the iner-
est us debt, Including the expense OF opera ion
and repairs. There is completed road in the state
of illinois which IS not earning much more thai this
sum per mite. The COMPANY CONELDENTLY
EXPECT THEIR ROAD TO EARN From SEV

After thorough investigation of the melits of his
enterprise, we confidently recommend these Bonds
