WHY WE DO THIS.
A newspaper with a subscription list the step of Tho Georgian spends
a great deal of time and money each year collecting and renewing Its
subscriptions. Experience has shown that the use of special prizes and the
employment of experts to do this work Is a wise Investment frofn a busi
ness standpoint. We simply contract with an expert who knows the man
agement of these things a* the engineer knows his engine. We have,
a special office In The Georgian building, In which to conduct
the work; a large force of assistants will conduct the contest and person
ally visit almost every home In Georgia. The Georgian and News Is main
ly n Georgia paper—It goes some to other states, but not nearly so much as
ether papers do. We do not try to get circulation much outside of Geor
gia. We are making It a home paper. This opportunity Js superior to
most similar ones given here before, because the wealth of-prizes which
have seldom been equaled are to be divided to Atlanta and Georgia alone.
As we have told our readers, the advertiser, who pays three times as
much toward the expense of newspapers as the render pays, needs large
clrulatlons to bring him customers. So newspapers can afford to give
these Inducements from time to time for the benefits they bring their ad
vertisers. The Georgian Is going to 30.000 homes now, and we expect to
add from five to ten thousand more before'this contest ends In Febru
ary. These so-called prizes are genuine and will be exhibited In promi
nent places soon. The Georgian does not simply give them away—for
we get much In return—but the onq who wins the prize need make no
outlay, but simply ask her friends to take The Georgian and use the votes
this gives for her benefit.
For Full Explanation of this Contest See Another Page of this Paper.

Thomas Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson will delight theatergoers
Friday and Saturday at the Grand with an
elaborate production of that famous old
t^lay, "nip Van Winkle." • There la no play
lh the English language which con match
the record of Jefferaou'a "nip.” The un
rivaled art which the'artor employs In por
traying Washington Irving's genial and
thirsty hero haa kept It a growing favorite
for over half a century. The name of Jef-
feroon seems to be Indissolubly linked with
the Interesting character, and although the
present Jefferson Is following In tho foot
steps of his great father, the critics are
klud enough to say that his work Is almost
as pleasing as that of the elder Jefferson.
Judging from the Interest manifested In
this engagement three large audleuces
should witness the performances Friday
and Maturday at the Grand.
“Tha County Chairman."
Few attractions playing the Bijou hare
given such universal satisfaction as "The
County Chairman," this week's offering at
the popular playhouse. This clever satire
on politics Js certainly one of George Ade'a

brought George Ada first Into prominence,
and although this comedy baa been played
for years, ft scums destined to continue for
many more.
