We are sensitive of the infcriority and
short life of our Southern serials as a
general rule, especially those of
purely literary character. Perhaps the
cause of their being inferior and short
lived is the want of support by our peo-
pie. We would conscicntiously recon-
mend to the support Of cur community
this new magazine. 1t is chiefly agri-
cultural, and in this department. it is
prepared to meet the new systems and
plans of farming, which the means Mt
our command nccessitates. 1t will be
up to the times This, the first number
has likeness of David Dickson, the
most successful planter in Georgia, a
sketch of his life, and an interesting de-
scription of his improved system of farm
ing. with a full table of contents COM
prising very interesting matter. We do
hope that our farmers will subscribe to
it, and that it will live. Price $500 a
year, in advance. Mr.. Andrew C. Dib-
bic is the Local Agent, and can be found
