May Build Short Cut Between
Nashville and st. Louis.
Proposed Route From Princeton.
KY, to Shawnee 81
town, Ill.
ONLY RUMoRs THUS FAR.

According to q press despatch, an
interesting railroad rumor has been
just received at Olarksville TO the
effect that the Louisville & Nashville
railroad is planning more direct CON
neoticns between Nashville, Tenn,
and st. Louis, Mo. In order to
effect this plan, the idea is said to DO
to construct o new line from HygeiA
Springs. Tenn, located half wav be-
tween Nashville and Guthrie, KY, ON
the Henderson division of the l.. 60
N. to GAINESVILLE, there to connsot
with the Princeton, KY, branch Of
the l.. & NJ, and from Princeton to
build on to Shawneetown, . compaya-
lively short distance, from which
place there is already line into 81.
Louis. This would, il il said, shorten
the line from Nashville to 81. Louis
at least seventy-fve miles, and do
away with the contemplated necessity
Of double tracking the Henderson di-
vision in order to handle the inoreas-
ing traffic Of the road.
Surveyors were in GAINESVILLE the
other day running lines in the eastern
part of that city, and an employe of
the L. & N. is said to have admitted
that the plans Of his road are such as
above outlined. The additional ad-
vantages of this proposed line would
be to give direct connections between
GAINESVILLE and Nashville, also bet
ter opportunity for competition with
the Tennessee Central and the Illinois
\ Central northwest and throughout this
immediate section of country.

. THE TWO SISTERS. :

The dramatic story of Denman Thomp-
son and George w. Ryer's play, THE
Two sisters" runs mainly through in
cidents in the lives Of bad woman from
the east and good man from the west.
OF course both sections have their good
and bad and they are shown in this re-
markedly clever play. But there are
no rescue situations or the slightest sug-
cestion that might bring the blush of
shame to the cheek of modesty. It's
e story of life and love. of hope and
a pointment and the happy realiza-
ton that always comes at the proper
time to those that suffer and wait. You
will recognize all the characters. every
community has them, and they will give
Won infinite amusement because they will
always be saying and doing the very
things YOU know they would naturally
say and do. There's no straining after
effect or going to France, Italy, or any
other far-away place to bring characters
on the stage, and you can never by
and possibly know-<except as an in:
finite impossibility. @The Two Sister,
is play of home and love, Of tho
pie YOU know and like, that yot
laugh at any sympathize with. And
viii all be here on Saturday, Mar
1t the Grand opera house.
