June 90, ls60-l-3-tf.

The present year inaugurates the third vol
umc of this favorte exponent of SOUTHERN lit
erature. 1t is source of no little qualification
to us that in announcing the third volume of
the JOURNAL, we are enabled to give the best
possible rcproof to the discouraging predictions
of Northern publishers, as well as to the gloomy
fdrebodings of even hearty well-wishers in our
own section of the country. Yes, we are proud
to say that the brilliant success of the SOUTH
ERN FAMILY JOURNAL has proved the OK
istence of literary talent and enterprise in the
Souri, which fears no rivals.
The friends of SOUTHERN literature have often
declared that, could they get SOUTHERN paper
which, in point Of intrinsic merit and in price,
could compete with Northern weekes, they
would cheer(ully support 1t. We offer this de-
sideratum; we ask these promises to be re-
deemed. We ask a comparison with other pa
pers of its class, and are satisfied that the
SOUTHERN FAMILY JOURNAL will befound
equal to the best. Arrangements have been
made with the
BEST WRITERS OF THE SOUTH
and the Publishers have no hesitation in saying
that the JOURNAL must become
