WHAT THE SOUTHERN PRESS SAY OF
SOUTHERN SOCIETY.
We commend Souther Society to our peo-

city who are constant patrons OF the sensa-

North. We are, by purchasing this literary

time we should support our own institutions
and people. Southern Society is emphati-
cally a southern Journal. Southern men
and women write for it, Southern men pub
lish IL, and IL Is conducted i'm a Southern CT
y. Every one who loves the South and de-
sires TO see its institutions prosper. should
subscribe at once to this journal, and extend
all the aid in his power towards establish
ing, ON q firm basis, journal which is des-
tined to reflect honor and credit upon this
Countrywide South.-Mobile Tribune. ~
The intellect of the South never was more
active than 1t In to-day. The establishment
to which hiI we have already alluded, Is an e
vent to be hailed by US all with profound
satisfaction. This journal, just issued, will
achieve solid success for IL II
the rock on which so many southern maya
zines have foundered. The rock was a false
reliance on gratuitotls contributions Norfolk

graphy can make reading matter enticing:-

contributors to its editorial columns is VIM.

poetic gems from his prolific pen. Thomp-
son, of the old Southern Literary Messenger,
vii do his best to en,iSen lts columns Iaa Co. b Rr

been retained for the delectation of the read

cellent, and promises: admirably for the
future.-New Orleans Crescent

we desire that 1t may become. 1t Is hand
somely printed, neither expense nor labor
being spared to make 1t worthy of the pat
ronage IL claims at the hands of the South

plished in the very 1rst number, and hav-
Ing deserved to win, they ought not to fail to
