chunic differs from many other paper,
in this particular, that instead of beins
confined to n county, or one section,
or State, it is divided up among some
800 poStofhces in every part of the
State. This is a great disadvantage to
us, as it cuts off the local advertising.

benefit to all classes of general and pro
tessional and wholesale advertisers who
wish to reach the leading citizens at all
prominent points in the State.
Last week we briefly announced that

90 hours after the paper left Raleigh,
there came nine letters OF inquiry from
well-known families In eight different

namely, our wish to assist deserving and
industrious young women to secure stu

pendent and respectable support. We
are satisfied that there are thousands Of
true hearted and well meaning South
ern girls who sell their persons, and
services, for board and clothes
That Is, they marry" without love,
and merely to get a home. They may
feel that they are a burden to their pa
rents, and in the way Of their younger
sisters, and may not be able to teach, OF
