THE SOUTH.


Devoted to tho Material Interests of
the Southern States.
A Weekly eight-page paper, published
in the city of New YORK, by Tardr, "
& Co., for S3, per annum.
THE South is, in no sense. a political
Il paper. Its object will be to pre-
sent to the people of Europe the advau-
tages possessed by the Southern States
of America for residence; for engaging
in the most profitable business enter
prises; for investment In lands, for
manufacturing purposes; for mining;
for the building of railroads; for farm-
ing, and, in fact, for every pursuit and
object in life that makes the selection
of a Home a matter of earnest consid-
Grafton. 1t aims to do full and justice
to all parts of the South, by publishing
information concerning its agricaltur-
al and mineral resources, its soil, eli
mate, and productions; its transporta-
ton facilities, both natural and artif-
cial; its manufacturing and Iniuing
advantages its progress in all material
and educational advancement.
1t encourages emigration, and facil-
itates the spread of such knowledge as
will give TO all correct information con-
corning the South. While it will not
primarily devote itself to the collection
and publication of the current news of
the day, twill, nevertheless, give such
attention tn it and the commercial in
terests of the South as will be in har-
mony with its main design. Full re-
ports concerning Cotton, Sugar, Rice,
and Tobacco will be included.
In connection with this office has
been established a Southern Land and
Emigration Bureau. Information Civ
in and correspondence solicited.
All communications should be aa-
dressed to TARDREW & Co.,
