process of preparation, and as greatly
diminishing the cost. The cultivation of

city on Sunday, was a broker in Philadel
phia some years ago, and then -estimated
to be worth about a million dollars. He
had travelled, in the Holy Land and pub
lished an entertaining volume entitled
"T he Letters of a Sentimental Idler," and
on his return to America he sought a life
of ease in a luxurious home at Chestnut
Hill, near Philadelphia. But Black Fri
day stripped him of all, and he came to'
New York to enter upon a new life as a
journalist. His play, entitled "Black Fri
day, which was produced in Niblos
Theatre, will be remembered. '. At the time

Those who'll read our rhymes and visit our
store
Will appreciate more than ever before,
That our muse does not vainly aspire
To climb Olympus and ingloriously expire
In the attempt, but keeps an even pace
With the timet., and always points to the place
where they "blow" about one special thing,
Which has, without doubt, the true business
ring,
And this thingwe will briefly explain,
Withthe hoie that it jv ill cauee no pain
To brother grocers; who, in years gone by,
Learned to get goods at prices that w.ere high !
Unfortunately w e 6ee some of them in clined
To follow the customs of "Auld Lang Syne,"
But we consider it a matter of congratulation
That we've no fogy notions in our educajjon !
In old times "big profits" had a wide range,
And old habits are hard, hard to change.
Of Wilmington Grocers we take the lepd.
Now to prove this assertion we only need
To remind jthe public that ourclan new store
MadejOthert. be painted and swept a little more!
Like all but-iuess men who are truly wi
We at once began extensively to advertise,
When .our friends catching the ide, thought it
r well
To increase their space, as the printers will
tell ! '
At first we put some poetry in our "ad,"
But when they saw this plan was not bad,
They followed our lead, and when we tried
prose
They followed as'meely as if lead by the nose !
We next thought 'twould be well to try rhyme,
When hi! they grasped the idea as sublime !
Though thev have follow ed in all that we've
done, r i;
When this battle is well fought and won,
! Some will see lithat extra per cent." isn't
".nonsense,"
'But; with old stock and heavy expense,
t
They will find that the prices of P. L. Bridger
' t
& Co.
If followed will surely brine them woe !
To prove that we mean what we say,
We announce that we sell for a' week from to
day,
Eleven pounds of - "A .Sugar" for only one
i
dollar,
Which lead we invite all sroeers to follow.
The, muse here caught sight of that one
horse grinding machine of llerr -Vou Kris
Kringle, and was so thoroughly disgusted at
the rjieap way- of grinding out poetry that
uoitMfr love ur money could induce him- to
finish our rhyme, so it had to come to an abrupt
ending.

WARP AND WOOF!
BY MISS R. J. PHILBKICK.
This beautifully written and intensely inter

and Southern life in town aud country, will
run through several weekly, issues of the Sews.
Without anticipating the interest of our read

fiction a rare treat in its perusal
The Weekly ATeics is one of the largest and
handsomest newspapers in the country, being
an eight page sheet 08 by 52 inches. Among
its new features we invite attention to a series
of articles on the Orange Culture, written ex
pressly for its pages by Mr. C. Codrington, of
Florida, which will be found interesting and
valuable to those engaged in orange growing.
Another feature of especial interest to our
lady readers is our New Yorl Fashion Letters,
by an accomplished lady writer. The aim of
the News Is 10 be thorough in all the depart
ments of a comprehensive newspaper. Its
Agricultural Department, its careful compila
tion of the news of the day, foreign and do

comment, and choice miscellaneous readings,

NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
(Wilmington Star.)
There is steady improvement.
(New York Wtorld.)
Deserves the support of all Southern readers.
(New York Son.)
WTe wish success to this interesting enter
prise (Weldon News.)
It is a magazine of merit and we wish it
much success.
(Chronicle and Constitutionalist.)
It richly deserves the cordial support of all
our people.
(Biblical Recorder.)
It is printed in large, clear type and is4
credit to the State.
(Greensboro Patriot.)
It is abiy tilited, handsomely printed, and
gives promise of being a very, very interesting
publication.
(Elizabeth City Economist.) -Altogether
creditable. Its contributors are
first-class and its mechanical and typographical
execution excellent.
(Hillsboro Recorder.)
Its list of contributors is an an able one
and if sustained, will ensure the permanent
success of the enterprise. -
(Wilmington Post.)
It is a first-class literay magazine, and one
that the people of this city should be proud of
and pationize, as well as the people of the
whole state.
(Raleigh Observer.)
It is needless to say we wish it success, and
that we look forward with pride, as well as
pleasure, to the r ssult of the enterpise as 'one
that will reflect honor upon the State.
(Oxford Torchlight.)
The typographical execution of the magazine
is very fine, and in point 'of appearance, con
tents, and indeed in all respects it is a publi
cation wmcn must commend itself to the
public.
(Graham Gleaner.)
It gives promise of beh?g eminently worthy
of public patronage. No commendation of
ours would equal a simple statement of "the
table of its contents, with the names of the
contributors, which we give as an evidence of
of the worth of the periodical.
(Farmer and Mechanic.)
Here'-we have a rich bill of fare from South
ern writers, catered by a Southern lady and
printed by Southern printers, on Southern
paper. Ye who bewail the lack of Southern
literature, and home-fo6tered talent, shall
thisenterprise live, and expand ?
(Wilson Advance. )
The magazine is well gotten up. The sub
ject matter is varied and entertaining, while
its typographical appearance Is a model of
neatness, and reflects the highest credit upon
the exquisite taste and excellent judgment
that suggested and directed its consummation.
(Noriolk Virginian.)
This publication appeals to the people of the
South for staple support. It richly merits it
ana we ieei will receive it. We know of no
Southern literary venture that has exhibited
so much merit, united with an evidence of
management that must win for it a position in
the ranks of magazine literature and hold it.
(Petersburg Index & Appeal.)
The South-Atlantic has this merit over
any of its predecessors in the same arena, that
its contents are solid, though not heavy, and
that no room appears to have been Intended In
it for productions of a trashy and frivolous
character. While it continues to adhere ' to
this rtile, it will have every claim on Southern
and general support, and we sincerely trust
it will receive U.
(Danville News'.)
This ifr a most excellent publication a mag
azine ofnigh character, an honor to the State,
and a credit to the whole South. All its pages
are filled with articles of superior excellence
and interest, It has for Its contributors some
of the best known authors in the South, is
ably edited and neatly printed. This splendid
monthly deserves a liberal patronage as a first
class southern enterprise.
(Raleigh News.)
Peculiarly Southern in Its character, and
numbering among Its contributors some of the
best and most vigorou writers In the country,
it bears upon its face the stamp of originality
and force. The Interest of its serial stories has
never ceased, while the shorter, casual articles
hare been marked by x vigor peculiarly their

world's progress Is . elosely followed. The
magazine has from its Inception been received
with peculiar favor by North Carolinians, nor
have its merits failed to receive Inst encomiums
from persons of ability everywhere. tf
