And we once more call on our friends to help us extend our circulation, not only by subscribing themselves, and seeking to induce others to do so, but by recommending to us efficient canvassers, to whom we would pay liberal commissions.

Osborne, Secretary of the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad; the authorities of the East Tennessee and Virginia railroad; and Governor J. E. Brown, President of the Western and Atlantic railroad, for kind courtesies by which we were enabled to make an exceedingly comfortable and pleasant trip from Richmond to Atlanta and return. We regretted that we were not able to avail ourselves of a similar courtesy extended us by Mr. J. W. Thomas, Superintendent of the Nashville, Chattanooga and Saint Louis railroad. A recent trip to Georgia, although necessarily more hurried than we could have wished, was made exceedingly pleasant
