TO ADVERTISERS.
THE EURAL SOUTHERNER and PLANTATION.
HAS OVER 30,000 READERS.
The Rural Southerner and Plantation is a
combination of three journals, and the only Ag
ricultural Journal published at the Capital of
the State, in a city of 35,000 inhabitants, and
has the largest circulation of any publication in the
South.
We have greatly increased its circulation du
ring the past year, and having recently made
several important changes, and reduced the
price of subscription to $1 00 per year, we feel
confident of a still further increase.
Our facilities for extending its circulation are
far greater than any other paper published, for
the reason that it is in the hands of over one
thousand book agents, who are canvassing for it
in connection with our popular and fast-selling
subscription books. Hence, it is shown and
“talked up” to thousands monthly, and speci
men numbers left with all who desire.
All advertisements will receive liberal edito
rial notices. Copy of the journal mailed free

their customers have exceeded three thousand
dollars a day since the commencement of the
year—and this is not a very good year for ad
vertising either !
