TEtE sotrTEUStift world, December is, 1882.
Bi
Our Round Table,
The December number of The Popular
Science Monthly was full to running over with
entertaining and instructive matter.
The Drainage and Farm Journal of Indian*
apolis, Ind., at $1 per annum is a cheap in
vestment. It is eminently a practical peri
odical.
The Sunday Olobe of Pittsburg, Penn., is a
sparkling, newsy and entertaining journal.
Its illustrations in every issue are fresh,
unique and taking.
The Daily Olobe, at Springfield, Ohio, is
one of our brightest and newsiest exchanges.
In typographical excellence and editorial
ability it seems to lack nothing.
The Florida Intelligencer is a new monthly,
published at Live Oak, Florida, W. L. Whit
field, editor, at $1 per annum. It is devoted
toihe interests of Florida, and is a meritori
ous journal. *
The Boston Journal of Chemistry and Pop
ular Science Review, of Boston, Mass., enters
upon its 17th volume next month. We wish
it the most enlarged success. In its sphere it
knows no superior.
Mailt Journal of Health, E. H. Oibbes, M.
D., editor, New York, is now in its 29th year.
It is a standard publication, of recognized
merit, and well worth the subscription price
of $2 per annum.
Mr. W. C. Morris, is now the business
manager of the- Atlanta Post-Appeal. He.is
a gentleman of tact and integrity. Miss Es
telle Leyden is on the editorial staff. Her
style is fascinating.
The Railroad Record, of Atlanta, under the
editorial management of A. L. Harris, is be
coming .a popular favorite. He is a man
of weight, literally and emphatically, and
the Record is bound to “stick.” We trust
that it will meet with success of the broad
est guage.
Ford’s Christian Repository of St. Louis,
Mo., will soon reach its 33th year of publi
cation. The Repository, is a review, a his
toric memorial and home circle in one. The
literary reputation of Dr. Ford and his wife,
guarantee that the Repository will maintain
its high character.
The Texas Railway and Telephone is a hand
some eight-page weekly, published at Bren-
ham, Texas, devoted to agriculture, the sci
ences, the arts'and the public schools, at $2
per annum. S. G. Spann, editor and pro
prietor. It is gotten up with taste and edit
ed with ability. Success to it.
The Electrician is a valuable publication
In its columns new discoveries and inven
tions in electricity are described and illus
trated in a way to interest not only the sci
entific, but the general reader. It is pub
lished by Williams & Co., 115, Nassau St.,
New York, at the low price of $1 per year.
Amateur journals always incline to odd
names. Atlanta now comes forward with
one published twice a month, under the
striking name of The Scorpion. Allen B.
Hall and Marsene Johnson, editors and
proprietors. The letter-box department is
under the skilled and graceful hand of Mrs.
M. L. Crossley. Though small in size, the
Scorpion is well filled with entertaining mat
ter, and unlike the natural scorpion, will
have a fresh tale every week. Success to the
boys.
The complete poems of Paul H. Hayne,
the poet of the South, have just been issued
from the press of D. Lathrop & Co„ of Bos
ton. It is published in several elegant
styles of bindings, richly embellished with
many choice engravings, making a volume
of rare value. It is sold only by subscrip
tion. Agents are desired in every city and
town in the Southern states. Any one de
siring to be of service to the poet, should
send their subscription or application for an
agency to the publishers.
Constitutional Amendment Manual, for con
stitutional prohibition,by Mrs. J. Ellen Fos
ter ’ National Temperance Society and
Publication House, 68, Reade St. New York,
TheBubjectof prohibition is attracting at
tention in many states. This Manual covers
all the ground in advocacy of it. Mrs. Fos
ter lives at Clinton, Iowa, and has the rep*
utation of great ability,
Seed-Time and Harvest for December is at
hand. This sprightly little monthly is a wel
come visitor and is especially valuable to
farmers and gardeners to whom its advice is
given in a practical, business-like way. The
editor evidently knows what will please his
subscribers, for he devotes but little space to
telling how good his paper is, but fills it up
with the juost interesting matter and allows
his readers to do the praising. The Janu
ary number will contain a Colored Plate
which every farmer or gardener should
have. Send a postal card for a specimen
copy to “Seed-Time and Harvest," La Plume,
Pa.
The Modern Hager. A. Drama by Charles M.
Clay. In 2 volumes. Oeo. W. Harlan, N. Y., 1882.
This work is dedicated by its distinguished
author to Dr. T. J. Richardson, of New Or
leans, and to the memory of the late Dr.
Demarquay, of Paris. The scenes are laid
in the West and South.
Ellin Land. Rhymes by Josephine Pollard. De
signs by Walter Batterlee. Oeo. W. Harlan A Co.,
Beyond all question, this work is the
choicest and most artistic colored book ever
presented to the public. It contains 40 col
ored pictures most of which are printed in
ten colors. The rhymes are interesting and
instructive. We predictan immense sale for
it
Christmas Rhymes and New Year's Chimes. By
Mary D. Brine, author of “ My Boy and I; or the
RoadtoSlumberland," Oeo. W. Harlan A Co., N.
Y., 1881.
It is safe to predict that no work of the
season will be more popular than this one.
The illustrations are very attractive and the
stories as captivating and charming as any
writer could make them. Its handsome
style reflects credit upon the enterprisiug
publishers.
TIIE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
Earnest Evers, Westminster, S. 0.: “ Liv
ing in the woods, I seldom find an occasion
to see a newspaper, but several days ago I
found an old copy of The Southern World
in the road and was so pleased with it that
I enclose you the subscription price for one
year. ”
A. D. Gramling, Mayersville, Miss,
must have The Southern World. It is too
welcome a visitor in my family to think of
losing it ”
R. M. White, Ovilla, Texas : “ I would not
be without Tub Southern World for double
the subscription price.”
Thomas W. Conrad, Monticello, Fla.: “In
the spring I saw some sample copies of The
Southern World and subscribed for it A1
though only an amateur farmer, in every
issue I see one or more articles that are worth
as much or more than the year’s subscrip
tion.”
Hammett & Bunten, Cowpens, S. C.,: “ We
cannot do without The Southern World on
our desk and counter.”
W. W. Godbee, Reidsville. Ga.,: “ I am
well pleased with The Southern World. It
has paid me many times more than the sub
scription price.. Success to your paper, and
put me down as a regular subscriber.”
Rev. A. Means, D. D.,: “I do not know
when my year’s subscription expires, but
am so much pleased with the matter, style,
and mechanical execution of your excellent
bi-monthly that I wish to renew it."
Sorghum Sugar.
Within the past two years great improve
ment has been made in the manner of treat
ing and granulating the product of sorghum,
The work now being done by the Rio Grande
company in New Jersey is the most satisfac
tory of any that has heretofore been attempt
ed, and is destined to work a revolution in
the sugar trade.
This New Jersey company has this season
worked about 250 acres of cane, 200 of which
is raised on rented lands, and the remainder
was grown by farmers, of whom the company
bought it, paying from $2 to $2 50 per ton,
The last load of cane was run on the 17th
inst. j but, as there is yet quite a large
amount of melado in the crystalizing room
to be swung, and the molasses is all yet on
hand, it will be some time before a balance
sheet can be made out showing the entire
results of this season’s work. But one lot of
twelve and one-half acres of Orange cane was
worked by itself, and an account of the en
tire produot and expense kept, which, it is
claimed, will fairly illustrate the whole work.
The account stands as follows:
product.
9,600 lbs of sugar at 8 cents $ 768.00
1,450 gallons molasses at 40 cents 680.00
