The Taylor-Trotwood Ma
gazine is the most satisfying
Southern magazine that has passed
under the writer’s observation
lately. It is the hyphenated off
spring of the union of Bob Tay
lor's Magazine and Trotwood’s
Monthly. Now everybody knows
and loves Bob Taylor, but “down
in Georgy” John Trotwood Moore
is not so well known as in Ten
nessee and possibly other contig
uous Southern States. Neverthe
less, Mr. Moore is one of the
South’s foremost poets and auth
ors and his productions are classed
with the best of contemporary
magazine literature.
The Taylor-Trotwood is dis
tinctively S iiithern in its tone and
scope and will appeal strongly to
magazine readers of the South
land. It deserves wide reengni
tion and a place on every book
table in the South.
Among the splendid articles in
, the number before us is "Robert
Edward Lee.” by Robert L Tay
lor; "Colonial Footprints,” by J.
H. Coliins;and "Twelfth Night
Revels,” by Jane Field Baskin.
Under the serial caption of “His
toric Highways of the South,”
John Trot wood Moore presents
“The Second Day at Shiloh,” a
graphic description of the last
day’s conflict on one of the dicis-
the
problem in a manner entirely sat
isfactory to the newspapers, by
dividing the fees for legal adver
tising.
The Times will after March 1st,
be the official organ for two years,
with the above proviso, when it is
but .just to presume that our neigh -
, and sorrow and vain regrets which
! stretch through the years.
"Of all the miserable creatures
on the face of God’s-good earth
none is more detestable than the
scandal-monger.”
It's just as easy to be pleasant as
otherwise—and it pays better.
