SHAWNEETOWN
Is one of the best points for manufactures on the Ohio River west of Pittsburgh.
CHEAP TRANSPORTATION TO ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.
Two railroads cross the County and terminate at this point -the Springfield and Illinois Southeastern, running from Shaw- neetown to Springfield, the capital of the State, and thence to Beardstown. on the Illinois River. making connections with the Ohio and Mississippi Railway at Flora for Cincinnati, with the Chicago Branch of the Illinois Central at Edgewood, and with the St. Louis, Vincennes and Indianapolis Railway at Altamont for Indianapolis and the East ; and the St. Louis and South- eastern, running from St. Louis to Shawneetown, and thence to Madisonville, Ky., giving direct communication to Nashville, Tenn .. and the South. These roads are so located as to insure a competition for business that will always secure low freights to and from this point. We also have navigation all the year to New Orleans and St. Louis by the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and for a large portion of the year to the inexhaustible timber regions of the White River of Indiana by the Big Wabash.
FUEL ABUNDANT AND CHEAP.
Five beds of coal are now opened and mined with an aggre- gate capacity of 50,000 bushels of coal per day. The Coal Basin is here more extensive and better situated for mining than in any other part of the State.
TIMBER.
Timber in vast quantities may be found in this County, such as white-oak. cypress. walnut, poplar, ash, hickory, maple, gum. and sycamore. White and yellow pine are shipped here at low rates.
LIVING CHEAP.
No County in the State has better soil and climate. Our products include corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, grass, clover, sorghum. tobacco. potatoes, flax. hemp. and cotton, with every

variety of fruit and vegetables grown in the temperate and some of the tropical climates. Neat cottage houses to let are spring- ing up in all parts of the City, reducing rent, and placing a com- fortable home within the reach of all.
COUNTRY TRIBUTARY.
We command a large and rich farming and mining region to the north and west.
WHAT WE HAVE.
We have good schools, well-attended churches, and a culti- vated and hospitable society. Two National Banks are here, with a capital stock of half a million dollars, a handsome Court- house. an extensive furniture factory, a large sash, door, and lumber mill. grist and saw mills, and a very extensive steam pork-packing establishment.
WHAT WE WANT.
We want iron-foundries. woolen-mills. machine-shops for the manufacture of agricultural implements, etc. In fact, manu- factories of every kind will do well here. The field is unoccu- pied, the country tributary is large, and our resources are immense. No county in the State is richer in minerals, timber, and everything essential to success in the manufacturing business.

-AND-
ST. LOUIS & SOUTHEASTERN RAILWAY CROSSING.
"The Old Emigrant Trail"
Crosses the Ohio River at Shawneetown. by the best and most favorably located Steam Ferry between Louisville and Memphis.
THIS IS THE SHORTEST AND BEST ROUTE
From all points in Kentucky. West Virginia. East and Middle Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia. and Northern Alabama, to Illinois, Missouri. Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska. Colorado. Montana. the Gold Mines, and all points in the FAR WEST.
By crossing the Ohio at Shawneetown, emigrants and movers will avoid on the one hand the Big and Little Wabash, and on the other the Cumberland and the Tennessee, and the almost impassable swamps of the Lower Ohio, Mississippi, and St. Francis Rivers.
The Emigrant Trail passes through the most attractive region in the West; is well watered; avoids the mountains of Southern Illinois and the swamps of Mis- souri: follows good and direct roads. with but two important ferriages between the Blue Ridge and the Rocky Mountains.
Travelers going either East or West should not fail to take the road at Shawnee- town, thereby saving time, trouble, and money, and avoiding unnecessary risks and bad roads. It will be found marked by reliable signboards put up by the Ferry Company.
Rates of ferriage at Shawneetown are lower than at any other place. Special rates for drovers and stock-dealers.

CHOLERA MORBUS,
A
GRIPING,
1
CRAMP COLIC,
CHRONIC DIARRHEA,
And kindred Diseases. It may also be successfully adminis- tered in cases of CHOLERA.
Its effects are instantaneous - often curing in from ten to fifteen minutes. If taken on the first appearance of looseness, it will immediately restore the tone of' the bowels and prevent further relaxation.
It is pleasant and aromatic to the taste - producing an agreeable glow through- out the system; and is composed of the simplest ingredients-not containing anything that is injurious. .
Every family should keep it constantly on hand; and travelers should not be without it.
That it is one of the best remedies in the whole range of material medicine for the cure of the above diseases is attested by numbers of persons who have given it. a trial.
· The increasing local demand for this remedy led me to apply for Letters Patent and enter into the extensive manufacture of it; and the success which has attended it, and the general satisfaction that it has given, warrants me in the assertion that it is withont a superior.
It is patented and known as
