ONE OF THE CHEAPEST AND BEST PAPERS PUBLISHED
IN THE COUNTRY
NOW rs THE TINE TO FoRN cLUBsy


The present year inauguratcs the third vol
ume OF this favorite exponent Of SOUTHERN lit
eraturc. II 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 reproof to the dscouraging predictions
Of Northern publishers, as well as to the gloomy
forcbodings 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 ex-
istencc 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 weekIies, thew
would chccrfully support it. We offer this de-
sideratum; we ask these promises to be re-
deemed. We ask comparison with other pa.
pcrs 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 ece,y Southern Home.
