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. »—a ♦« 'The aiftiual floral exhibition of the Agricultural Society of South Carolina, takes place in Charleston on the 15th inst., continuing for four days.
