TO ADVERTISERS.
THE ATLANTA DAILY HERALD
HAS THE LARGEST CIRCULATION
OF ANY PAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS
^^-tECTlON OF GEORGIA.
TO OITR MACOM Sl'BSCRIBKRS.
It is with pleasure that wo announce a
change in the delivery of oar paper in Macon.
For some time we have had complaints from
our subscribers in that city that it is a great
inconvenience to them to have to wait for
their Heralds antil the whole Northern mail
is distributed; that event frequently not oc-
tuiring until 10 or 11 o’clock.
Our subscription list is rapidly increasing,
a^d hence one of the proprietors will go to
l^icou tc-night and hire a number of good
anl reliable boys, and put them on
AS SPECIAL CARRIER 4
fot the Herald in Macon, so that our readers
will have the Daily Herald at their break-
fa$ tables. We will also engage a good cor
respondent to send us a daily report of
intyortant items occurring in and around the
city by mail and telegraph.
(Ve hoje to make the Herald a welcome
viator in five hundred Macon homes before
mtny days.
T#E HERALD SPECIAL MAIL TRAIN
OS THE MACON AND WESTERN
RAILROAD.
A hint three weeks ago the Herald startled
its friends, and astounded its enemies, by
chartering a special mail train and putting it
upon the West Point Koad,m order to get
tie Herald to its readers at the proper time,
tie schedule having been so changed as to
tfrow it behindhand.
/The Constitution in characteristic spirit ridi-
iled the idea. When the schedule on the
V T est Point road was changed so as to suit the
Jerald's necessities, we discontinued the
[train and published the following extract in
/an editorial of the —th of July.
We wish one thing distinctly understock, and
that is, that ice shall not allow anything, not
even the changes of every railroad schedule at once,
to prevent us from serving our subscribers xcilh
the Herald at the proper time. "We may say
that ice now have under advisement a reform in
the delivery of oar mails on another road which
will startle oar cotemysn'ttries more than our
special train did.
In accordance with this promise, made
with full light before us, we have closed a
trade with Col. W. W. Wadley, of the Central
Railroad, chartering an engine for $2,000 per
month, which will be put upon the
Macon and Western Railroad on next Monday
night (at which time the night mail train on
that road will be discontinued,) and run
regularly until the schedule is so adjusted os
to suit our mail arrangements.
The Herald makes no boast ia this matter.
It is merely working out a carefully studied,
calm and hopeful plan. We determined long
ago, when we had neither money nor influ
ence, to make the Herald the leading paper
in Atlanta. Whether wo .have snccceded or
not, the public may decide.
Onr special train will leave Atlanta on Tues
day morning (and every morning thereafter),
at about 1:30, connecting with the south bound
tiains from Macon. In this way the Herald
will go to Southwestern Georgia on the same
train with the Macon papers.
In conclusion, we bespeak for onr enter
prise a hearty support on the lines which are
especially benefited, and from the public gen
erally. The reading public is ceitainly in
debted to the Herald for a tremendous ad
vance and progress in Atlanta journalism.
To that public wo appeal with confidence.

THE HERALD’S REPORT OF CHOL
ERA AT RIN0G0LD.
The Catoosa Courier publishes the following
in regard to the Herald’s telegram, announc
ing the presence of cholera in Ringgold :
The Atlanta Herald publishes a telegraphic dis
patch from Dalton, dated the 30th instant., stating a
report “ that there had been three deaths from cholera
in Ringgold in the last three days and that there are
now five or six cases in town.” These are the facts,
as we publish elsewhere in this issue: two negroes
died during last week, laving some symptoms resem
bling cholera, but there has been no well defined case
of cholera here at all, as far as we can ascertain, and
there are no cases of sickness here now resembling
cholera in the least.
In another part of the same is^ue the Cou
rier says:
Ringgold had a cholera scare last week. Two
negroes died from a disease resembling cholera in
many of its symptoms; there have been no cases this
week, and the health of the town may be considered
good. We shall, in the event of any more choleraic
diseases here, make a prompt and truthful report of
the same.
We are very glad to hear from our correspondent, as
well as from the Courier, that the Cholera has disap
peared from Ringgold. Bat we have perfectly authen
tic information that there was Cholera in Ringgold as
the Herald reported. We investigated the matter
very closely before we published the telegram, and
found that it was based on fact. We are glad that
Ringgold has perfectly recoved from the disease.
