Southern World. The year 1884 has
been marked with influences of a de
pressing character, and while the situa

cord or complaint to make about want of
prosperity. It has steadfastly held to
the promise given in its first issue to be
"an exponent of Southern industrial
interests,keeping pace with the advances
of Agriculture, Manufactures and Sci

To those who continually croak about
the weather, whether “wet” or “ dry,”
we commend the following utterance of
Colonel Richard Peters: " We all com
plain of the weather and can’t see the
wisdom of it, but I confess, in the light
of forty years experience, that if I could
turn on the rain, as I do a sprinkler at
home, I couldn’t have managed it so
well for this one farm, year in and year
out, as it has been managed. So I take
the weather without complaining. I
know it will come all right in the end.”

writers on the Southern press. He gives
the readers of that paper more news in
two columns of matter than can be found
usually iu all the pages of our largest
journals. He compre uses and condenses
his articles with the skill of a master
hand. His example is worthy of gen
eral imitation.

This is the popular verdict upon the
Augusta Chronicle's Trade Review. It
eclipses anything ever attempted in the
South, and reflects credit on the Chroni

fine, the paper and printing of the very
best, and it is presented in sujh a shape
that it will be preserved. It is worthy
of preservation, and Augusta should by
a unanimous voice, vote her thanks to
the enterprising and public spirited pro
prietors of the Augusta Chronicle.
