How many names OF Southern poets
could you mention OF hand? poets and
as Soutnerners. Perhaps some half

days much in print, Joel Chandler Har-

Lauier Samuel Mintern Peck. il you

erner. Poe tentatively not being sure
that he could be claimed by tho South,
Maurice Thompson, with a similar doubt,
aud Thomas Nelson Page perhaps more
secure as SoutnerDer than a. poet, his
delightful prose being his chief claim to
being known to the average reader.
And Of Southern poetry we may quick

are trivial, IL pretty and appealing
enough. But the general attractiveness
OF the collection makes a fine showipg g
for the Southern poets and evidences
care aud a rare power OF discrimination
and selection on the part OF the
eoitor. For there bts, OF reasons as
also because no other collection OF tho
kind exists, the book Is in the nature OF
real living treasure. (Ihe j. Il. LIP
