Thb Albasr News makes no boast of its
popularity, or the extent of its circulation
and while some of its Southwestern Georgia
contemporaries are continually flaunting the
fulsome declaration at their mast-head, tha
they have the “largest circulation in <h>s sec
tion,'* and are the beet medium on earth for
advertisers. The Nkws has been quietly en
deavoring to commend itself by its editorial
management and the tone and character of its
utterances.
We have sought to make a valuable, popu*
lar and reliable paper, and to convince onr
patrons that a well conducted newspaper is
an important as well as indispensable insti
tution. If we have succeeded in this earnoet
purpose, the achievement is attributable to
the industry and brain-work weekly devel
oped in nur columns, and not to false state
ments in relation to the secrets of the press
room, or dishonorable practices in the pro
fession.
We doubt not our circulation exceeds that
of any one of the Southwestern Georgia pa*
pers, claiming “ the largest circulation in
this section, ” and we know certainly that
not one has a wider range, or is more g^r-
ally read.
it may be that our subscription is sufficient
for alt business purposes: but other consid
erations move us to make an appeal to those
who now read Thb News, to assist us in the
effort to add Omb Thousand more to our list.
The newspaper of to-day is a public teacher,
and is doing more to educate the masses in
agriculture, commerce and manufactures;
social, moral and religious literature: the
arts and sciences ; civil liberty and civiliza
tion, than all the schools, Culleges and clois
tered professors on earth ; aud if our part in
the grand work is being played beneficially to
a few, the same industry nnd effort is availa-
bio for the culture and elevation of as many
thousand*.
We therefore,want more readers, more ma
terial aid, more moral support, that we may
extend our usefulness anil ao the greatest pos«
Bible good in our limited sphere.
We believe it is in the power of each one of

AU honor to the Georgia Legislature.'(?)
Thomas County Ahead.
It is with a pardonable degree of pride,
that we have learned Lhat our county has
been shipping corn by the car load to Sum
ter. That’s the lever, planters, which is fast
elevating yon on a plane with the most fa
vored and prosperous sections of the South.
"We have the soil, the climate, the labor, and
in the name of everything that our planters
hold dear, let them determine that they will
make enongli corn in the future, at least, to.
supply the homo demands ; and our word for
it, a bright and glorious era of prosperity will
dawn on our county, making it the choice
spot in South Georgia.
Show us a county in Georgia, or anywhere
else, where there are a surplus of provisoes
made, aud we will show you a prosperous,
happy people; and a section,to which will
n&tutally gravitate, thoso who wish to better
their condition, thereby causiug a demand
for lands and all kinds of property. Let it
be known throughout tho country lhat Thom
as county is supplying other counties with
corn and bacon, aud observe how rapidly ev
ery sectioir of the cbnnty'wnf be filled up by
aclass of immigrants, who will not only bring
material wealth'to us by their sturdy labor
and capital, bnt would in a few short years,
change the complexion of things materially in
Thomas couuty.
Lei., ns move onr corn cribs and smoke
houses nearer home Let us see fewer car
loads of supplies from the West, via the
green line,” and we will have.made a long
and a permanent stride toward solid prosper
ity.—Thomasville Times.

Amenities of Western Journalism —The
Cincinnati Enquirer goes for the Editor pf
the Commercial in this style.
“The lacerated editor of the Commercial
continues to denounce the editors and pub
lishers of.tlie Times, Gazette, Star and En
quiver as scoundrels and thieves. The snarl
ing enr is entirely unable to ty>preciate ihe
estate into which he baa fallen in this com
munity. As Tbe boys say, it’s a wonder
that he doesn't “drop” on himself. A pro
fessinnal liar and vilifier, whose cowardly
conduct is exposed whenever he is called to
Ihe skirmish line, ought In be able to take a
little rasping now and Ahem, with better grnee.
The fellow seems to b« trying to raise a (tost
with the expectalion'that under the cloud he
will be able to escape the ridicule aud con
tempt which the public is at ptesent bestow
ing upon him in such a lavish manner.”
