C. Richards, aided by an extensive and
efficient cor.jj of contributors.
To meet the growing demand for space,
by the awakening talent of the South, the
publishers have determined to publish semi
monthly supplements corresponding in size
with the weekly numbers, thus increasing
the former amount of reading matter one half
during the whole year.
These supplements will be devoted to the
publication of original novels, dramas, and
other important serial contributions, which
would occupy too much space in the weekly
numbers. The first supplement will appear
with the first weekly number, and regularly
thereafter, twice a month. The publishers
are happy to announce as their first great
serial.
A SOUTHERN NOVEL, by WM. GIL
MORE SIMMS, LL. D.,
entitled “The Sword and the Distaff.” —
Other brilliant original works by Southern
authors will follow in quick successsion, and
this feature of the work can scarcely fail to
find general favour.
To meet the increase of expense occasioned
by these changes; anil to warrant the contin
ual improvement oftlie journal, the subscrip
tion price will be raised to Three Dollars a
year, in advance, for which trifling sum,
each subscriber will receive 76 numbers of the
Gazette, making an aggregate of over
TWELVE HUNDRED IMPERIAL
QUARTO PAGES;
more matter than is furnished by any other
literary paper in the world, for the same
price.
The Publishers will spare no pains or ex
pense to make the new series of the Gazette
surpass its former series, in variety, quality,
and brilliance of material, and they con
fidently appeal to the people of the whole
South to sust tin them in’their purpose and
endeavours.
The Clubbing system will he abolished, as
both inconvenient and unsatisfactory to all
parties. Any person, however, who may
interest himself to procure subscribers,will
he entitled to retain from his collections, one
fifth of any sum under fifteen dollars, and
one-fourth of any sum over that amount. —
Five dollars will be received in advance

plied to all orders while they last,uniesssDecial
directions are given to the contrary.
