serial novels published therein and
written by the editor have attracted con-
siderable attention on account of .heir
literary merit and well wrought plots.
One, THE Master Of Red Leaf" is q
plot tragical, style agreeable and most
pleasing story to peruse. Another
Love at Seventeen and Love at Thirty.
Seven" is more romantic in detail, and
is written in a piquaxt, delightful style,
that is certain to command large host
of readers. We hear it rumored that
the author intends TO have both of these
pleasing works of fiction published in
book form, and should the rumor prove
correct, We predict large sale in the
South for the work, even in advance OF
publication.
