THE WORLDS COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION,
Splendid Transportation Facilities
and Low Rates offered by the
Iron Mountain Route to Arkansans
Contemplating Visit to Chicago
During the "World's Fair.

Everyone in Arkansas is more or less
interested in the Worlds Fair, not only
on account of the international prOmt-
nence that will be attained by the United
States and the city of Chicago, but on ac-
count of its own unique representation,
which compares favOrably with that of
any other State. Every city, county and
township have contributed their samples
of agricultural, mineral and manufaCtur
ing products, and the management of the
Iron Mountain route, recognizing the pride
every Arkansan feels in his State, has
placed in effect, very low round trip
rate from all points in Arkansas good via
st. Louis to Chicago and the Worlds
Fair. Tickets are now on sale with an
ample limit for return.
The advantages of this route are many
owing to the elegant through service, con-
sisting of Pullman Buffet Sleeping Cars,
Reclining Chair Cars (SeatS freC) and
magnificent Day Coaches, which are in
daily operation. The trip via st. Louis,
especially if made later in the summer,
will well repay the visitor, as stOp-Oycr
will be allowed those deSirOuS Of attend
ing the great st. Louis Fair and EXpOSi-
tiOn, also give an opportunity to view the
magnificent parade of the Yelled Prophet
which passes through miles of streets
brilliantly illuminated by gas and electric
lights, encased in globes all the cOlorS Of
the rainbow.
The fame of st. Louis as THE Carnival
CITY of America" has spread far and wide
and no spot in the World, not even the
gay Partisan capital can compete with
it during the reign of High Carnival
