A monthly, six.een.page
journal containing in each
number some twenty narra-

descriptive and pictorial.
The paper is undoubtedly
the best illustrated journal

publication which presents
glimpses of Southern life
and Southern people. 1t
is a favorite souvenir with
those who have visited the
South; and it serves q good
purpose, in lieu of a visit,
to those who have never
been there.
The regular price Of
