MONTHLY JOURNAL, exclusively devoted to the

no promises or pretensons. Not entering the
lists for competition with any, and standing in
the way of none, its legitimate sphere and aim will
be to promote the interests of all-recognizing no
party, in education or politics, but the party of
the South, it will seek to preserve the Union of
the South, by developing her resources and slim
ulating the industry of her people
