WHAT THE SOUTHERN PRESS SAY OF
SOUTHERN SOCIETY.
We commend Souther Society to our peo-
ple There are hundreds of persons in this
city who are constant patrons OF he henSa-
tional and foolish pictorials publlshed az the
North. We are, by purchasing this literary
trash, fostering those who care nothing lof
us, and whose delight il is to insult us IL Is
time We should support our own institutions
and people. Southern society is eInphatl-
cally a Southern Journal. southern men
and women write for it, southern men pub
fish ii, and il Ii conducted in southern el-
v. Every one who loves the South ana de-
sires to see its institutions prosper, should
subscribe at once to this Journal, ana extend
all the aid in his power towards establish
ing, on Il firm basis, a journal which Is deS-
tined TO reflect honor and credit upon this
Countrywide S1uth.-M0dite Tribune. sssS
The intellect of the South never was more
active than IL is to-day INC eslSDlisnn at,l

vent to be hailed by US all with profound
satisfaction. This journal, just issued, VIII

full of charming papers, and intends To aVo1d

There is great need of an able weekly Jour-
nal edited by Southern men, and to which
the Southern people can, advantageousiy
and consistently, give their cordial support.
Such n journal Southern Society promises TO
be, and, if strong corps of writers and skill
new journal will be as fully prosperous as
we desire that il may become. 1t is hand
somely printed, neither expense nor labor
being spared to make it worthy of the pat
ronage it claims at the hands of the SOUTH
The aim of the publishers has been accom-
plished in the very first number, and hav-
ing deserved to win, they ought not TO fail to
reap the harvest Charleston Mercury.
This new weekly paper has been launched
upon its voyage under favorable auspices,
and the evidence of ability and taste display
ed at the outset, give promise of success and
usefulness. 1t is an elevated and influential
accession to the press of the country. The
Typography, paper and artistic skill, display
excellent Observation-Disclosures Catholic Mirror.
We earnestly appeal to all who love the
South, and feel an interest in its literature,
to aid US now in establishing q worthy re-
preventative of its culture and refinement
among us.
