in which, be proposes to establish q weekly
literary newspaper in Atlanta, to be styled
The Ladies' Home Gazette. The subsrrip-

to commence about the first of May The
atlanta lntelligencer says the object of Dr.
Powell is three fold ITO encourage
Southern authors, to furnish the irst-class
literary paper to every family, and finally,
to erect an elegant home for the SUFFERING
and afflicted females Of our country" In
explanation of the third object, the htelh.
gencer says: "The entire profits arising
from this paper will be devoted to the
building aud completion of the Homo for
Invalid Ladies, an institution which DR..
Powell projected before the war"
This enterprise commends itself to the
benevolent all over the country. We cor.
daily hope it will succeed, both for the sake
of the Home, and literature. Those who
will subscribe to the Gazette do double
good and get guild pro quo, especially as
the paper appears under circumstances so
favorable. Upon this point the Inteligencer
says: awe believe that DR.. Powell will
get up a|iterary paper equal to any ever
issued from the press in this country"
This is very high praise and the Intelzs.
