for the demand for information
about the South. The crv of $50

volume than even the "Go West" of
the past ever reached, if the railroads
and the people of the South will now
promptly unite in vigorous work to

characterized the work of the West

Record has for ten years labored to
push forward the Industrial growth
and interests of tho South. The
Southern States magazine will fully
cover this field. twill continue rom
month to month to topublish the letters
of Northern and Western farmers
who have settled in the South, tell
