the undertaking, to publish, in this CITY, BIZ
MONTHLY JOURNAL, exclusively devoted to the
advancement Of the above objects. Its scope and
design are such will not interfere with those of
any other publication now In existence at the
South. In every other department of Periodical
Literature, We are well supplied with ably-edited
and well-conducted Journals. The interests of
Southern Education and Home Industry, which
are indissolubly connected have, as YET, no spe-
cial organ, devoted mainly to the advocacy of
their claims, and the record oftheir joint progress.
With the general diffusion of practical education
among the people, their industrial prosperity must
naturally be placed more permanent basis,

branch Of enterprise, proportionably elevated and
improved. 1t is in accordance with these views,

mutually dependent. Trusting that the object
will meet their appreciation, he will now proceed

Quoted.

pariment of the work; and, for this purpose, the
Editor, with the assistance of ready contributors,
