“The Soothers World (Atlanta,
Ga.,) has attained an enviable prestige
in th« South, but therein, we believe,
lies its weakness. There is too much
South ’ about it. In fact it is all South.
It should remember that there are peo
ple living up here and out West. How
ever, our Southern readers should be
>roud of it. A better journal could not published by James P. Harrison & Co

We are in receipt of No. 1, Yol. 1 of
the new series of the Atlanta Medical
and Surgical Journal for March. This
| old and well known medical journal
comes out in a bright and attractive
form. It is edited by W. F. Westmore
land, M. D., H. V. M. Miller, M. D.,
LL.D., and James A. Gray, M. D., and
ie procured for tbe’money
80 remarks the Health and Home, of
Port Chester, N. Y. We return our
thanks for the high compliment paid us.
The Southern World would prove
false to its name and untrue to its pur
pose,were it not to speak about the South,
her industries, her resources and her
progress. While endeavoring in every
laudable way to advance the interests of
the South, wo have never tried to do so
at the expense of other sections. As
citizens of the same grand Common
wealth we feel proud of the growth,
prosperity and achievements of the en
tire sisterhood of States, and would not
pull down < ne State or one section to
elevate our own State or section, ft is
not necessary, for there is room for the
expansion and prosperity of every sec
tion. The record of the Southern
World shows that it has recognized in
every proper way all other sections. At
the same time we do not propose for a
moment to neglect our paramount duty
to our own section to do all within our
power to augment her prosperity, in
crease her usefulness and hasten the
day when she will be an Industrial Em
pire whose law is Labor.
We do not, however, base our claims
upon t' e mere fact that the Southern
World is a Southern paper, published
in the South, and owned and conducted
by Southern men, but squarely upon its
merits. And upon this basis we are not
ashamed to present it to the people of
any section. We have many valued
contributors in the East and West, and
two of the prizes awarded to contestants
were given to Western ladies. In the
past three months something over 4,000
copies have been ordered by parties in
the East and West, proving that its
merit is recognized. The fact that our
subscription list in the East and West
as well as the Soulh is rapidly growing,
demonstrates the fact that the people
appreciate our merits as “a journal of
industry for the farm, home and work
shop.” When we seek information
about the great and prosperous East, we
are glad to peruse the columns of an
excellent and able journal like the
Health and Home.
The title page is adorned with a likeness
of Dr. Crawford W. Long, the discoverer
of anaesthesia. We have only space to
remark that it is ably edited, handsome
ly printe 1 and well worth the subscrip
tion price of $2.50 per annum. Drs.
Westmoreland and Mill* r are veterans
in the service. Dr. Gray, the junior
editor, is a live, progressive and untir
ing worker, and anything he espouses is
bound to succeed.
We are pleased to learn from Mr. Jo
seph M. Brown, General Freight Agent
of the Western and Atlantic Railroad,
that his company will be in much bet er
condition this season to handle the pro
ducts of the orchards and truck farms
than ever before. One hundred new
cars have been added to their rolling
stock, making now over 200 cars special
ly adapted for this purpose. The doors
to the cars will have iron bars and wire
netting across them to admit perfect
ventilation and secure the freight inside
from the insidious hands of the pilferer.
The rates on vegetables will be the same
as last year. That on melons is yet to
be fixed. The schedules will be as last
season, quick and expeditious.

' One of the greatest inventions of the
age is Clarke’s Seed Cotton Cleaner.
By its use storm, trashy and dirty cotton
can be made into good cotton and $10 a
bale saved thereby. While it is incum
bent on the farmer to reduce the cost of
producing cotton to the lowest possible
amount, it is none the less his duty to
increase the value of his product, by
the use of this cleaner. A matter so
unquestionably to the interest of the
planter as this is, should receive his im
mediate attention. The editor of this
paper has witnessed the cleaner at work
and cheerfully testifies to its value and
utility. No cotton farm should be with
out one.
The house of G. W. Scott & Co., of Atlanta, t
one of the best in the South. The Gouvnbm
Phospho manufactured by them la one of the
best fertilizers ever used for com or cotton it ’
does its work perfectly and all who purchase it
may feel assured that they have secured a nu m
her one fertilizer and that they deal with reiu
ble gentlemen. We are pleased to note the in
1 creasing popularity of this fertilizer.
Attention is directed to the card of c. w
Motes & Co. The proprietor of this paper has
known Mr. Motes for over twenty years and has
bought many bills of goods from him, and can
endorse him fully as a reliable business m R n
and Christian gentleman. He is thoroughly
posted in his business. *
See advertisement of A. P. Stewart
& Co., Baby Carriage Depot. They can
supply the million with baby carriages
and it is said the senior member of the
firm is an expert in manipulating them.
J. H. Anderson, in addition to the other stock
advertised elsewhere by him, has the West Point
Upright Engine, Reapers, Mowers, Twine Bind-
ers and Duke Harrows. He is doing a very large
business and believes in advertising in the
Southern World, because it pays him.
The Estey Organ presents itself in an
attractive card in this issue. This organ
is well and favorably known, and each
one speaks for itself in tones of com
mendation.
The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany is a superb company, and the showing it
makes challenges public attention and admira
tion. It is deservedly popular, and its conserva
tive management commends it to all.
The Gin Saw Sharpener is cutting its
way through the world. It is its best
agent, for no one ever saw a better
sharpener.
Our friends will confer a favor upon
their friends by showing them a copy of
the Southern World and inducing them
to subscribe for it.
The Globe Cotton Planter is now in active de
mand. Its merit stands confessed by all and the
fact that the best farmers are using it demon
strates Its utility. Its Gives Cash Profits to all
who use it.
Those who listened to the prayer and
remarks of Rev. H. H. Tucker, D. D.,
at the recent funeral of Mrs. John Jones
in the Central Presbyterian Church in
this city, were profoundly impressed
with their fervor and originality. The
doctor is master of the Eng ish language
and an adept in the use of words. The
prayer was the most comprehensive,
tender and exbau-ti 'e appeal to the
Throne of Grace that the writer ever
heard. It was like the wrestle of Jacob
of old with Jehovah for His blessing.
His address too was a remarkable exhi
bition of alliterative and antithetical
power, and touched to thair prof undest
depths the hearts of all present. A man
pos essed of such genius, piety and elo
quence should not be permitted to re
main in retirement. Either in the pul
pit, or wielding the editorial stylus, he
would as in days past be a potent factor
for good.
