Important Announcement

The October number of the Bay State Monthly will contain, among other articles of interest, a valuable historical and descriptive paper on the enterprising and rapidly increasing city of

HOLYOKE, MASS.,

the chief paper manufacturing place in the world, and the centre, also, of other important private and corporate industries. This paper has been prepared by a writer "to the manor born," and will be copiously and beautifully illustrated.

Another article of special interest and value will be the

HISTORY AND ROMANCE OF FORT SHIRLEY,

built in the town of Heath, Mass., in 1744, as a defence against the Indians. The article has been prepared by Prof. A.L. Perry, of Williams College.

The series of papers illustrative of

NEW ENGLAND IN THE CIVIL WAR,

and which will command the attention of all classes of readers, will be initiated in the October number of the Bay State Monthly, by THREE IMPORTANT CHAPTERS, namely:—

I

PUBLIC SENTIMENT IN NEW ENGLAND AT THE OUTBREAK OF THE REBELLION,

by a writer who was thoroughly familiar with its current.

II

THE MARCH OF THE 6TH REGIMENT,

by one of its officers, who has gathered together anecdotes as well as sober history.

III

THE RESPONSE OF THE MARBLEHEADERS IN 1861,

a stirring paper of patriotism and valor, written by SAMUEL RHODES, JR., the historian of Marblehead.

The first instalment of a series of papers on the

AUTHORITATIVE LITERATURE OF THE REBELLION,

by Dr. George L. Austin, will also appear in the October number.

Besides the foregoing features, the October number will contain other articles of permanent worth in the fields of BIOGRAPHY, HISTORY, and STORY. A vigorous method of dealing with LEADING QUESTIONS OF THE DAY will be maintained in the Editorial Departments.

It will thus be seen that no pains are being spared to insure for the Bay State Monthly a character that shall prove invaluable and of the deepest interest to

ALL CLASSES OF READERS
