n. E. r. R., New Orleans, La.
Dear Sir: take pleasure in announc-
ing that our new dining car service was
inaugurated last Sunday, August 81.

ception the finest yet turned out, being
rich and attractive in design, and EN-
bodYing the most advanced art of the
car builder. The wood finishings of the
interior are of highly polished quar-.
tered oak and the ceilings and panels
are of delicate shade of pale green, on
which are traced artistic figures. The
curtains and other draperies are of the
same shade of green and present q very
rich appearance.
There are ten tables on each car-five
on each side. On one side four persons
can be seated to a table and the other
two, The cars are lighted by electricity
and fitted with electric fans. The light
ing and fan fixtures are of polished brass
In the ceilings Of the cars are clusters of
electric lights, while others stud the
arches of the 1oofs.
The cars are manned by a chef, his
assistant, conductor and three walters.
A pleasing feature Of the service, which
is la carte, paying only for what you
order, is the handsome and dainty i'm.
ported cut glass, silver, china and linens.
The menu will at all times be of the
highest order and the tables will be sup
piled with all the delicacies that the
markets of the north and south afford.
Trains Nos. 3 and will carry dining
cars between Meridian and Corinth and
Nos. and 2 between Corinth and Jack
son and Cairo and st. Lonis. This for
your information. Yours truly,
G.. M. SHEPARD. Ct. P. A.
