The paper we pub lish is essentially a type of modern progress, which demonstrates that this established journal has become better and stronger as it increases in years. The men who have, from one generation to another, worked upon it, and helped to make it a power in the land, submit, and will submit, to the common lot of humanity and pass away from this earth and its struggles, but the result of their labor remains, and will continue to remain. The workmen die, but the work goes on. The Chronicle of to-day is an improve ment upon the Chronicle of the past. The Chronicle of the future will be an improve ment upon the Chronicle of to-day. The world moves, and the paper moves with it Wonderful inventions, in tne last half a cen tury, have give an impetus to all material things, and the press has shared in the advant ages of great discoveries, just as it has also stimulated them The Chronicle has spared ne pains or expense to furnish the public with the news of the day from all parts of the world, and it will take pleasure and pride in perfectieg this service from time to time. The Chronicle has endeavored to take high and noble views of public policy, and to sustain all good and just causes. The Chronicle has essayed to encourage virtue ar d to make the lot of man and woman all the brighter and better for the common weal. The Chronicle strives to be a new spa per in the best sense of the term, and to ad vance, in that misriou, the interests of all the people. The conductors of the paper can not and do not expect to be infallible, any more than they expect to please everybody. In all human affairs mis takes of judgment will occur, and uoutesus of opinion will arise. We will, however, mightily strive to commit as few errors as p 'S sible, and te enter such conflicts as cannot be avoided with a proper epirit. The Chronicle enters the new year with exceptional advantages. Its daily edition is a well filled eight-page paper. Its second edition, for the evening mails, is eight pages, with the afternoon markets and telegraphic reports. It takes the place of the tri-weekly edition. Its mammoth weekly pa-per will compare with any in the country. Into this edition the choicest and creamiest news of the week is collected, and upon its lap the best and freshest editorial and miscellaneous mat ter :rom the daily is poured. Its market re ports, covering nearly one page, will be an especial feature, prepared each week for the country reader. Its news service will be sustained by train ed and scholarly correspondents in the three capitals—Atlanta, Columbia and Washington while it will strive to have a news represen tative in every neighboring town. The mail facilities es this paper are now superb. Four daily trains distribute its edi tions in South Carolina and three in Georgia. It reaches all the principal points in South Carolina early on the day of publication reaching Columbia at 11, a. m. The fest mail schedule of the Georgia Railroad lands the Chronicle and Constitutionalist in all towns along the line early in the forenoon, while its issue is unfolded in Atlanta and Athene by noon each day.
