New Railroad.
Reviv al of ojected
Trunk Line from New
Orleans to Chicago Via,
hi d d Teton, Tennessee
and Paducah Kentucky

The project to put into opera
tion an additioal trunk line of
railway from New Orleans to
Chicago. via Middleton, Tennes-
see, aud Paducah, Kentucky,
has been revived and is now said
to have the backing of the Louis
vile Il Nashville and Frisco
|rYads. The proposed road known
Eas'the New Orleans and Mobile.
e. Chicago Railway, is already'
bulltfrom Beaumont, Mississip.
pi to Middleton, Tenn, and the
new proposition is to so extend
it that when when all connec
tions are made it Twill besa trunk
line and the shortest one from
the Gulf of Mexico to Chicago on
one Of the great lax kes Bof the
NortifA branch from Beaumont
MISS. to Ansley, La, will con
meet at the latter place with the
Louisville & Nashville and pro-
vide f6fsfiains into the city OF
New Orleans. The objective
point on the North is Paducah,
KY, which will provide connec-
tion that will put trains into
Chicago and complete the great
North and South line. In order
ltp make the extension from Mid
Fdleton to Paducah, it is but nec-
essary to secure the use of the
track Of the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga& st. Louis Railway. from
the most feasible point nearest
to Middleton and'on to Paducah
and it was shown in the inves'
tigation made a year or so age
that Lexington is sthe logical
point at which to tap the No IL
filing the gap between Middle
ton and Paducah.
The Memphis Commercial Ap
peal of a few day ago contained
a strong special from New Or
leans in regard to the projected
South North road, the building
of which is regarded as an assur
ed fact, since the project has Sc
chred such strong, rich and in

Healthy, Wrinkle-Free
Skin Easy to Have

duh, drab. muddy complexion, or an
over-red, blotchy, pimply or freckled
skin, can by quite simple, harmless
and inexpensive method, be changed to
one of flower-lilSe radiance and purity.
One ounce of common mercolized wax,
sold by druggists generally, will remove
the most unsightIy complexion in from
one to two weeks. BY its remarkable
absorptive power the withered, faded or
discolored layer of thin f1lm-skin which
hides the healthier skin underneath, is
gradually fecked off in tiny almost in
visible particles. This is done so gently
there is no Inconvenience. and no trace
is left on the skin except that of en-
HANGED beauty. The wax is srueared on
like cold cream before retiring. and re-
moved in the morning with warm water.
If the skin be wrinkied or saggy, a
face bath made by dissolving 1 OF. pow

tightens the skin and braces up its sup
