Our Second Volume.
The State Grange of Arkansas has been
revived. J. D. Scott, of Texarkana, is
Worthy Master.
We return thanks to our subscribers who
have so kindly sent in copies of the issue of
July 1st. We are well supplied now.
Every farmer, mechanic, manufacturer
“nd stock raiser should take The Southern
World. It is the cheapest paper published.
Every family should have Tub Southern
Wouui upon its center-table. It is speci
ally interesting to every member of the
household.
Intensive farming thoroughly analyzed
means nothing more than this: Plant less
land and cultivate it more thoroughly and
systematically. \
Our brethren of the Press who have volun
tarily noticed Ta* Southern World in such
generous and kindly terms during the first
year of its existence will please accept
our thanks.
DeKalb county, Ga., has a vigorous county
Agricultural Club. It is doing a good work.
The account gtven by a member of what Mr,
George Webb has accomplished is very sug
gestive and pointed.
We make ourprofoundest bow to ourread-
ere and ask them to show their appreciation
of Tu« Southern World by sending in at
once one new subscriber each. We ought to
start the new year with 60,000 subscribers.
Louisville, Ky., is to have an Exposition.
We wish it success and will do all we can to
help it along. Louisville is a live city, and
iia merchants will find The Southxrn World
a valuable medium for presenting the merits
of their merchandise to the public.
The Southern World enters, with this
issue, upon Us second volume. The favor
with which it has met throughout the
South is a gratifying evidence of its appre
ciation. Without any special effort its sub
scription list has been rapidly increasing,
and the commendatory notices of the press
everywhere, and appreciative letters from
our subscribers, bear testimony to the hold
the Southern Wobld has upon the people.
As we announced in our first issue that it
was “not our purpose to indulge in profuse
promises or extravagant claims,” but that
we proposed making the Southern Wobld
“in every respect worthy of the public sup
port, a favorite with the farmer and me
chanic and an always welcome visitor to the
family,” we reiterate upon entering the sec
ond year of its existence. We boldly place
the Southern World upon its merits, be
lieving that the public, appreciating its mer
its, will give it a generous and cordial sup
port
Col. W. L. Goldsmith informs us that he is
satisfied that there is no better advertising
medium than The Southern World. He
receives more orders as the result of adver
tising in it than any other journal. This is
the experience of all our advertisers. This
Is a suggestive fact to advertisers.
We return our grateful acknowledgments
to the officers of the Edgecombe Agricultu
ral and Mechanical Pair Association fora
complimentary ticket to the second annual
fair at Tarboro, N. C., and to the officers of
the South Carolina Agricultural and Me.
chanical Society for a similar favor at Col
umbia, S. C.
Mr. H. C. Smyth, of Louisville, Ky., has
been assigned to duty as Observer in the Sig
nal Service. Mr. H.Hall who has been onduty
here in that department for the past four
years, has been transferred to Pike’s Peak.
Mr. Hall was courteous and efficient and
very popular. Mr. Smyth comes to us bear
ing the same testimonial from Louisville.
We had the pleasure of a call lost week
from Min Lisctte C. Bernheim, one of the
editors of At Home and Abroad, an excellent
monthly journal, published in Charlotte, N.
C., at $2.00 per annum. She is assisted by
her sister, Min Florence E. Bernheim, and
father, G. D. Bernheim, D.D. Min Bern
heim, while here, won ail hearts by her dig
nified mien and graceful bearing, and one
was at a Ion to know which to admire most,
her cultured mind or queenly form and
charming manners. Success to the magazine
both at home and abroad.
A man fell into a river and when hauled
out was advised by his rescuer to be a little
more particular in future. A second ad
vised him to take a stout drink of whisky to
keep a chill off. A third thought he had
better hurry home and change his clothes i
and a fourth cautioned him to get water out
of bis ears. The advice of the bootblack was
the best. He said; ” I ain’t got much to say
about this ’ere case, but my advice to this
'ere feller is to do more kickin’ with his
heels, and less hollerin’ with his mouth, if
he ever falls in again.” Those who always
cry out “ hard times,” should note the boot
black's philosophy.
Every day new developments are being
made relative to the value of cotton and the
cotton plant. One thing is established, and
that is, that the better the article the better
price it will command. It pays to have the
cotton cleaned of all impurities. Even the
motes heretofore thrown away as valueless,
if cleaned, command a good price for making
paper; of practical benefit then is a seed
cotton cleaner that removes dust and trash
and loosens Up the poddy cotton, making it
easier to gin. Col. W. L. Goldsmith offers
such a desideratum in Davis’ seed cotton
cleaner. It is simple in construction, easily
managed and cheap. At the recent North
Carolina State fair, it was awarded the
medal. It meets a general want, and we are
not astonished at the demand for them.
The Subtoiler and Democrat, ol Corinth,
Miss., pays the followingcompliment to Col.
A. Pope:
“We learn that Mr. A. Pope, of Lynch-
bnrg, Va., now occupies a prominent official
position in connection with the Memphis &
Charleston, and the East Tennessee, Virginia
& Georgia Railroad. He is General Ticket
and Passenger Agent, for that division, and
will take pleasure in giving all the informa
tion in his power to such as may apply to
him, or address him on the subject. He isa
gentleman of excellent administrative abil-
ty, in his calling, and stands high in the cir
cle of railroad officials.”
We arc pleased to announce that Col. A.
Pope will be a contributor to the columns of
The Southern World, on the scenery and
resources of the South. In our last issue we
gave a very interesting article from bis pen
on "The South for Immigrants.”
A PURPOSE IN LIFE FOB WOHAN.
The Phrenological Journal, in discussing the
subject of “A Purpose in Life for Woman,”
forcibly snys:
“The old chi valric nonsense about woman's
degradation in being compelled to labor for
her own bread is almost forgotten, and we
are beginning to regard her with admiration
proportioned to the capability she exhibits
in the field she has chosen for the employ
ment of her powers. Society is in fact be
coming more and more convinced of the
fact that women differ in mental organiza
tion as much as men, and that many Are bet
ter fitted for the cuter, active life of the
world than for the inner, quiet duties of the
home, and any attempt to force upon all the
same rule of life would not only be arbitrary
and unreasonable, but productive of harm
to the community.
“The feminine brain is similar in consti
tution to the masculine; it has as many
parts, as many organs, as many functions, as
many faculties. It is therefore, adapted to a
varied field of action, and compulsory restric
tion to a limited sphere must result in un
balance and abnormality. With opportunity
for the exercise of all the faculties, with
training adapted to the general growth of
brain and body, the many shiftless, fickle,
helpless women who burden the so-called
educated classes, would disappear, and in
their place we should find thoughtful, dili
gent, useful members of society.
In well-to-do circles there Issome remnant
of the old notion that girls should not be ex
pected to work for their own support, and
there it Is we find the largest proportion of
women without a purpose; but it will not be
ong, we think, before the practical spirit of
our era will have swept that notion from its
ancient place, and the girls whose advantages
for self-culture should be equaled by their
opportunities for the exercise of their talents
and acquirements, will, like their brothers,
demand suitable employment. The ambi
tious, enterprising boy finds something to
work for, some object that whets his courage
and stimulates his diligence; the ambitious,
spirited girl equally needs an object—some
material, encouraging object—toward which
she can work, and impressing her with the
noble sentiment of usefulness to the world. ”
OUB BOUND TABLE.
We miss from onr table the November
number of the Art Amateur with its inspiring
illustrations.
The Daily German Pott, ol Houston, Texas,
is a welcome visitor to our table. It is ever
fresh and interesting.
The Arkamaw Traveller, published at Little
Rock, Arkansas, is one of the best humorous
papers in the country, Opie C. Read, its
editor, knows how to please the popular
taste. It is handsomely gotten up, and rich
ly worth $2 per annum. Read gets up the
paper to be read and it is read by thousands.
The American Hiller, published at Chicago,
is the largest and best milling paper that
comes to our table. It contains a large
amount of matter every month, of topics of
general interest to the industry. Harley B.
Mitchell, its editor, is a gentleman of cul
ture and fine judgment. The subscription
price is only $1 per annum. Through the
courtesy of the Miller we are enabled to give
the cut of the South American mill on our
first page.
The Poultry Review and Stock Journal is an
excellent monthly published at Washington
City, by Grant Parish, at $1 per annum.
Breeders and fanciers will find it useful and
entertaining. It is well printed and ably
edited. We are indebted to it for the cut of
the fan-tail pigeon appearing on the Uth
page.
Dr. Frank H. Hamilton opens The Popu
lar Science Monthly for November with a most
valuable article on' the important subject ol
"Sewer-Gas.” It is an unsettled and most
perplexing problem, physicians and archi
tects and sanitary engineers being much at
war about it, yet it cannot he neglected be
cause of their disagreements. Dr. Hamilton
sums up the subject clearly and judicially,
and, what is more, indicates the only safe
ground to be taken in regard to it The sec
ond article, by Professor Du-Bois Reymond,
on “The Science of the Present Period,” is a
masterly vindication of its influence and its
broader tendencies. Dr. Nathan Allen gives
the latest form to “The Law ot Human In
crease," and draws from it certain practical
conclusions of very great importance.
“Science in Relation to the Arts," by Dr.
Siemens, is the address of the President of
the British Association for the Advancement
of Science, and is especially instructive in
its discussion of electric and gas lighting.
Dr. Oswald’s second paperon “Physiognomic
Curiosities” is in bis best vein, bright, crisp,
witty, and full of curious informaiion, as
new as it is interesting. The article on
"Scientific Farming at Rothamsted,” by Dr.
Manly Miles, is a most timely and well-di
gested account of the systematic agricultu
ral experiments of Lawes and Gilbert, which
are of far greater value, both theoretical and
practical, than is generally supposed. Dr.
Miles’s paper is of capital interest. The orig
inal and striking paper of that clear and ex
cellent writer, Professor Grant Allen, enti
tled “Who was Primitive Man?” appears
without abridgment in the November
"Monthly." It goes far toward clearing
away some tenacious difficulties ofaperplex-
ing subject. "Some Curious Vegetable
Growths,” by W. H. Larrabee, "The British
Lion,” by W. Boyd Dawkins, “Life Among
the Battas of Sumatra," by Dr. Schreiber,
are also very readable articles. There are a
biography and portrait of the French chem
ist, Wurts, and the usual mass of miscellan
eous information at the close, which is al
ways read first in The Popular Scimee
Monthly.

Consumption Cured.
An old physician, retired from practice,
having had placed in his bands by an East
India misionary the formula of a simpls
vegetable remedy for the speedy and per

Catarrh, Asthma and all throat and Lung
Affections, also a positive and radical cure
for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Com
plaints, after having tested its wonderful
curative powers In thousands of cases, has
felt it his duty to make it known to hta suf

a desire to relieve human suffering, I will

full directions for preparing and using. Sent
