ONE OF THE CHEAPEST AND BEST PAPERS PUBLISHED
IN THE COUNTRY!
NOW rs THE TINE TO FORM 0LUBSy

The present year inaugurates the third vol
ume of this fayorite exponent of SOUTHERN lit
erature. 1t is a source of no little qualification
to us that in announcing the third volume of
the JOURNAL, we are enabled to give the best
possible reproOf to the discouraging predictions
Of Northern publishers, as well as to the gloomy
forebodngs Of even hearty well-wishers in our
own section of the country. Yes, we arc proud
to say that the brilliant success of the SOUTH
ERN FAMILY JOURNAL has proved the ex-
istence of literary talent and enterprise in the
SouTu 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 weeklies, they
would checrfuy support it. We offer this de-
sideratum; we ask these promises to be re-
deemed We ask 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
Welcome Guest an eUe1y Southern Home.

a host of new and interesting features, compris-
ing among others,
BRILLIANT ADDITIONS TO OUR
