J. W. RANDOLPH has just published SOUTHERN and 

 SOUTHWESTERN SKETCHES; FUN, SENTIMENT 

 and ADVENTURE. Edited by a gentleman of Richmond. 

 Price 37 cents. 



It is believed that the present volume contains as great a variety 

 of mirth-moving and interesting matter as any like work which has 

 ever been published. The peculiar humor of the South, and its 

 characteristic qualities of reckless daring and profuse generosity are 

 happily illustrated in many of these Sketches. Those who love that 

 innocent mirth which leaves no pain, and relish the honey of wit, with- 

 out the poison which it sometimes leaves, will find in these pages 

 ample sources of entertainment. 



"The Book is a collection of Tales, which had their origin chiefly 

 in the South and Southwest. We most heartily commend it to the 

 attention of the public. The selections are very judicious, and as it is 

 Southern in character, and in every respect home made, it is particular- 

 ly deserving public encouragement. We trust it will meet with a wide 

 sale. There are many stories in it that are alone worth the price of 

 the Book." Dispatch.
