The extensive and growing interest Of
the Southwest, its moral and social inn
provement, and its increasing literary and
scientific demands, have awakened etten-
ton to the fact that in this highly mpor1
tant portion Of our country there is no Iouri
nal or paper so exclusively devoted to lit
erature and science, advocating the doc
trine of no party.


Feeling the necessity of such a paper
the Jefferson College and Washington Lys
ceum have commenced the publication O.
periodical entitled "THE SOUTH-WESl
TERN JOURNAL" to be devoted to lit
erature and science, and all subj ects inter
estng to the general reader.


1t is published semi-monthly, in the city
of Natchez, and contains sixteen small
quarto pages, similar in form to the "Pen
nv Magazine" and is protected by good
envelope. SO that it may be conveyed to
anv distance without injury.


II will be remembered that We have nc
WORK in the South West similar to this
and every one who feels pride in any en-.
terprise calculated to enhance the social
and moral character ofour country, should
come forward and assist in this worthy
enterprise.


Pecuniary emoluments constitutes nc
part of the object of this publication. II
is not intended to benefit any individual
or the Lyceum in pecuniary point o
view. The sole object is to advance
knowledge and diffuse taste for the
refined enjoyments of Literature and
Science.


Nothing is now wanting to the accom-
plishment of the wishes of the Lyceum but
the patronage of the community; and it is
expected that this patronage will be prompt
ly and cheerfnlly extended.
All communications in reference to the
periodical should be addressed, post paid,
!, to Professor ]. A. VAN HoEsEN, the Sec. of
: the Lyceum, Natchez, Mi. The subscrip.
tion price IS, in all cases in advance.


The first number of this paper is dated
Dec. ID, 1887, and it will be continued Sc
: mi-monthly from that date.
