MACON , GA.y SEPT. 24, 1870.
®The Piano Premium,
E are still receiving applica
tions for specimen numbers
and premium lists, from par
ties who are working for the
Piano. In answer to various
inquiries, we desire to say
that we cannot tell when the offer will
close, but our impression is that it will
not be closed before the Ist of Janu
ary. We will promise, however, that
it shall not be closed before the Ist of
December, and by that time, we hope,
there will be plenty of money in the
country.
We repeat what we said last week,
that we have concluded to allow parties
who are making up clubs to take sub
scribers for the Little Soldier in con
nection with the W eekly. For instance,
every four subscribers to the monthly
Soldier at 50 cents each, or every club of
eight subscribers at 25 cents each, will
W eej&ly ; and every two
the weekly Soldier at $1 each, or three
at 75 cents each, or every club of four to
one address at 50 cents each, will count
as a $2 subscription to Burke’s Week
ly. Now, here is a chance to work a
good and cheap paper into Sunday
schools, and get a handsome premium
for yourselves.
Our premium list will be found on the
last page of this paper. Remember that
it contains nothing but first-class arti
cles —warranted to be as represented.
Big-Foot Wallace.
Uj/O\UR readers will be glad to learn
that ‘‘The Adventures of Big-
Foot Wallace” are now in the
LjA hands of the printers, and the
book will be out in a few weeks.
* The work is handsomely illus-
Jtrat ; 4j_and is gotten up in elegant style.
Orders may be sent to the publishers,
accompanied by the price of the book,
$1 50. Those who send their orders
now will be sure of early copies. Ad
dress, J. W. Burke & Cos., Macon, Ga.
* Dr. Ticknor’s beautiful poem,
“Stone Mountain,” having been printed
with numerous errors in our issue of
Sept. 10, we reprint it this week cor
rected. It is a production that is des
tined to live, and we desire that the
readers of Burke’s Weekly shall have
it “ without spot or blemish.”
BURKE’S WEEKLY FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.
The Little Soldier Every Week.
H E publishers of the Little
j* j|TI Soldier , have determined, if
sufficient interest is felt in the
7jo\ enterprise to warrant it, to
'*\k / issue that paper in such a form
T that it can be supplied to Sun
day-schools every Sunday in the year.
Each weekly number will contain
eight pages, and from three to four il
lustrations, thus making it the most
complete and elegant as well as the
cheapest Sunday-school paper published
in this country.
The terms for the Weekly Soldier
will be as follows :
Single copy SI
4or more copies to different names 75c. each
4 “ “ one address ... 50c. “
50 copies to one address 45c. “

Those who prefer it can have the
JAttle Soldier sent to them once a
month as heretofore, receiving in lieu
of one number of sixteen pages, two
numbers of eight pages each, on the

2or more copies to different names 40c. each

aim of the editor and publishers to
make the Little Soldier the best Sun
day-school paper published.

next chapter of this story

rers * nto ie ludian country,
and tell our readers of a thril
YLp ling adventure of Jack Dobell
with a Mexican lion. There are
plenty of Indian fighting and wild ad

promises to be the best our'friend Du
val has yet written.
No Post Office.
11. R. Lowry, of Laurens Cos., Ga.,
sends us 50 cents, but fails to give his
post-office. J. M. Skinner sends for
eight copies of JAttle Soldier, but gives
no post-office. If this paragraph reaches
the eye of either of them, or of any one
else who can give the information, we
shall be glad to learn their post-office
address.

Crowded Out.
The great length of our Premium
List, which fills up the last page of
this issue, has forced us to put the
Chimney Corner on this page, instead
of in its usual place. For the same
reason, the names of those who have
sent correct answers are unavoidably
crowded out this week.
