The Southern CuIirator, of Atlanta,
Ga, for the month Of December, reached
us IN due time; but owing to inadvertence
receipt was not acknowledged. The issue
before US fully sustains the high reputa-
ton attained by this splendid agricultural
monthly, which, it is acknowledged,
stands at the very head Of Southern
Agricultural Journalism. In a somewhat
lengthy article, under the caption of
"North Carolina Agriculture" the issue
contains a we'll written account Of what
the Agricultural department Of this State
has done and is now doing to advance the
interests of agriculture in North Carolina.
Price, $3.50 a year..
The Journalist, a monthly devoted to
Newspapers, Authors, Artists, and Pub
fishers, Allen Forman, editor, III Nassau
street, New York City, is perhaps the
best and most unique publication Of its
kind to be found in the United States.
Besides being a fine specimen of the typo
graphic art, its columns abound in choice
articles from the pens of the best writer's
of the age. This curt announcement
stands at the head of the editorial columns:
ave will not exchange with any paper"
Upon a moments reflection, we see that
if the editor did exchange he would have
no paying patrons, as the Journalist Is
conducted solely III the interest Of the
fraternity. That it is Of immense value
to all newspapers, authors, artists ard
publishers is manifest to all who have
seen it, and we have no hesitancy in adj
vising all who are interested in these avo-
cations to send for the Journalist. Price,
single copy, Soc; one year, $500.
"The Great War Syndicate" by the
famous author, Frank r. Stockton, which
commenced in Once q Week, Dec. 18th
ult., is quaint and original. 1t is a history
OF a most remarkable, startling, and novel
war between the United States and Great
Britain, no account Of which has before
been written. It is true the war has not
yet taken place, but its astonishing and
almost marvellous features and incidents
are fully detailed by the author. This
war is waged on the part Of the United
States by a syndicate, who makes a
contract with the government to carry
on the war to a successful conclusion
without aid from the army and navy
Of the United States. The surpris-
ing manner in which the Syndicate
prosecutes hostilities, the amazing and
stupendous powers of its engines of war,
of which it owns a monopoly, and the
ethical cultured fashions in which the
campaign is conducted-a wonder to the
United States as we'll as to Great Britain
are fully set forth, with ell the humor-
Gus and hitherto unknown incidents con-
nected with them. The result of this
war, entirely and equally favorable and
satisfactory to both, delights the soul of
the Anglo-Saxon race to such an extent,
that both England and America unite to
build a monument to Thomas HHtchins,
whose fate is recorded in the history.
