without change, Both of these
trains make connections with the
leading railroads, for points North
East and West, without change
of depot.
Sunday. August 31st., will al
so be the Inauguration of Dining
Car Service, a la carte on the
Mobile and Ohio. All meals will
be served in these cars, doing a.
way with the ancient custom OF
eating in haste. Passengers will
pay for what they order an will
not be compelled to take a whole
, meal in order to get cup Of cof-
fee. ......-
These Dining Cars are the very
latest pattern, no expense, having
been spared to make them the
handsomest in the land. Electric
lights and.electric fans, run by
Current generated by the axle OF
of the car while in motion, surplus
power being stored to supply cur
rent when cars are stopped. De-
corations, including palace and etc
are excellent. Large windows,
giving patrons lobstructed view
of scenery, while enjoying their
repast. The sesvioe will excel
the Mobile and Ohio's famous
eating House at Artesia, which
gained the reputation OF giving the
finest service in the World for the
money. They will be stocked
with the very best that the market
affords, it being the intention Of
the management that these cars
shall be an advertisement and not
a money making medium. These
cars will serve all meals on North
and South bound trains,

The Times Democrat
Flyer.

On September lst. The Times
Democrat sent special from New
Orleans, bearing its m amoth trade
edition to the people of Louisiana
and Texas. The train was sche-
duied to make the fastest time ever
attempted in the history Of south
ern railroad, and was named the
lmes-Democrat Flyer. and it was
a flyer, making over go miles an
hour from New Orleans to Dallas.
lhe Flyer left New Orleans on
time and reached Lafayette promp-
tly to the minute, distributing the
special edition all along the line.
The flyer consisted of two baggage
cars and chair car, the last ar
tlstlcally decorated; but when it
reached Lafayette the decorations
were badly torn and dissarranged
by the rapid speed of the cars,
and wet from a heavy rain through h
which the train passed. Mr.. l..
Cunningham of Lafayette was the
engineer on the flyer and being a
very able employee OF the S P,
he was the one to which the flyer
was left in care.
The Times-Den1ocrat deserves
the highest praisefo for its enterprise,
and the hearty support OF the peo-
pie Of New Orleans. The New
Orleans people have been slow in
the past commercially. and it is
to be hoped for the honor and sue
cess Of Louisiana, that they viii
catch the spirit Of the Times-De--
mocrat and lead on to great things
for the metropolis Of the South.
Trade is commanded to a great
extent oy factories, and New Or
leans must be a manufacturing city
to reach out for Texas or any
other trade, The day Of the job
Der is waning, and the maker 0!

tant advantages it has in other
ways, and will be the domicile Of

coMFoRTABLE HOMES

Can Be Built in California Cheaper
and Easier Than Elsewhere.
There is no part of the world better
adapted by all that nature can do for
comfortable rural homes than Cali
fornia.
1t is sometimes said that to live in
California one must be wealthy. On
the contrary, there is no other place
where family of moderate means can
make a living more easily, or where
they can enjoy one-half the Injuries
that are within their reach in Califor-
MIA. 1t certainly is not wise for a fam
lily to land there with nothing ahead.
One who has not been thrifty enough
to accumulate a little in other places
would hardly succeed there. But lit
tie capital, however. is required. A
small tract of land, ten or twenty
acres, is ample; a few acres in vine
yard and a few in orchard. both care
fully selected in regard to varieties.
and in from three TO five years there
is assured an annual income of 81. 500
to $1,000. The work should, and can,
be done all within the family, and this
income will, therefore, be nearly all net.
Expensive buildings are not necessary,
as the weather is always mild, life in
the open air being entirely agreeable
for ten months of the year.
During the time the orchard is COM
ing into bearing, enough can be raised
between the trees to furnish family
with subsistence, and as there is nc
fruit crop to harvest on the home
place, there is time, as there is always
opportunity, for those who choose, to
find pleasant and remunerative labor
! upon places already in bearing, and
this may add materially TO the income
