THE SUN FOR 1800.
The Sun will deal with the events of the year
1880 in its own fashion, now pretty well under
stood by everybody. From January l until Decem
ber 3i, will be conducted as a newspaper, written
in the English language, and printed for the
people. ’
Asa newspaper. The Sun believes in getting all
the news of the world promptly, and presenting it
in the most iutelligable shape—the .shape that will
enable its readers to keep well abreast of tin
age with the least unproductive expenditure of
time. The greatest in’ -< to the greatest num
ber—that is, the law controlling its daily make-up.
It now has a circulation much larger than any
other American newspaper, and enjoys an income
which is at all times prepared to spend liberally
for the benefit ol its readers. People of all condi
tions of life and all ways of thinking buy and read
The Sv;n; and they all derive satisfaction of some
Rort from its columns, for they keep on buying
and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs, The Si n be
lieves that the only guide of policy should be
common sense, inspired by genuine American
principles and backed by honesty of purpose. For
the reason it is, and will continue to be, absolute
ly independent of party, class, clique, organiza
tion, or interest. It is lor all, but of none. It will
continue to praise what is good and reprobate
what is evil, taking care that its language is to the
point and plain, beyond the posibility of being
misunderstood. It is uninfluenced by motives
that do not appear on the surface; it has no opin
ions to sell, save those which may be had by any
purchaser for two cents. It hates injustice and
rascality even more than it hates unnecessary
words. It abhors frauds, pities fools, and de
plores nincompoops of every species. It will con
tinue throughout the year 1880 to chastise the
first cl tss, instruct the second, aud discountenance
the third. All honest men with honest convic
tions. whether sound or mistaken are its friends.
And The Sun makes no bones of telling the truth
to its friends and about its triends whenever occa
sion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which The Sun
will be conducted during the year to come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no patriotic
American can afford to close his eyes to public af
fairs. It is impossible to exaggerate the impor
tance of the political events which it lias in store,
or the necessity of resolute vigilence on the part
of every citizen who desires to preserve the Gov
ernment that the founders gave us. The debates
and acts of Congress, the utterances of the press,
the exciting contest of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the country, directly and effectively
upon the twenty-fourth Presidential election, to
be held in November. Four years ago next Nov
ember the will of the.nation, as expressed at tin
polls, was thwarted by an abominable conspir*
acy, and promoters and beneficiaries of which still
hold the officers they hold. Will the crime of 1876
be repeated in 1880? The past decade of years
opened with a corrupt, extravagant, and insolent
Administration intrenched at Washington. The
Sun did something townrd dislodging the gang
and breaking its power. The same men are now
intriguing to restore their leader and themselves
to places from whence they were driven by the
indignation of the people. Will they succeed ? The
coming year will bring the answer to these mo
mentous questions: The Sun will be on hand to
chronicle the facts ns they are developed, and to
exhibit them clearly and fearlessly in their rela
tions to expediency and right.
Thus, with a habit of philosophical good humor
in looking at the minor affairs of life, and in great
things a steadfast purpose to maintain the rights
oi the people and the principles of the Constitu
tion against nil aggiiess- vs. To: Sun is prepared to
write a truthful, instructive, and at the same time
entertaining history of 1880.
Our rates of subseritions remained unchanged.

"the ATLANTA CONSTITUTION.
During the coming year—a year that
will witness the progress and culmination
of the most interesting political contest that has
ever taken place in this country—every citizen
and every thoughtful person will be compelled to
rely upon the newspapers for information. Why
not get the best V Abroad The Constitution is
recognized, referred to and quoted from as the
leading Southern Journal—as the organ and vehi
cle of the best Southern thought and opinion
cnrl at home its columns are consulted for the
latest news, the freshest comment, and lor all
matters of special and current interest . The Con
stitution contains more and later telegraphic
news than any- other Georgia paper, and this par
ticular feature will be largely added to during ! In
coming year. All its facilities for gathering the
latest news from all parts of the country will be
enlarged and supplemented. The Constitution
is both a chronicler and commentator. Its edito
rial opinions, its contributions to the drill of cur
rent discussion, its humorous aud satirical par
agraphs, are copied from one end of the country'
to the other. It, aims always to be the brightest
and the best—newsy, original and piquant. It
aims particularly to give the id-jA impartially and
fully, and to keep its readers inWmed on the drift
of current discussion by liberal but concise quo
tations from all of its contemporaries. It aims, in
short, to more than ever deserve to be known as
“the leading Southern newspaper.” Rill Arp will
continue to contribute his unique letters, which
grow in savory humor week by week. “Old Si”
will add his quaint fun to the collection of good
things, and “(Jncle Remus” has iu preparation a
series of negro myth legends, illustrating the folk
lore of the old plantation. In very respect The
Constitution for 1880 will be better than ever.
The Weekly Constitution'is a carefully edited
compendium of the news of the week and con
tains the best and freshest matter to be found iu
any other weekly from a daily office. Its news
anil miscellaneous contents are the freshest and
its market reports the latest.
THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR.
This, the best, the most reliable and most popu
lar of southern agricultural journals is issued
from the printing establishment of The Constitu
tion. It is still edited by Mr. W. L. Jones, and is
devoted to the best interests of the farmers of the
South. It is sent at reduced rates with the week

The Texas Way el Making Love.
They mtinfige things differently in Texas.
This is how a fond couple come to an un
derstanding, according to one who pre
tends to know. He sits on one side of the
room in a liig white rocking chair; she on
the other side, in a little white oak rock
ing chair. A long-eared deer hound is by
his side, a basket of sewing by hers. Both
the young people rock incessantly. He
sighs heavily and looks out of the west
window at a myrtle tree; she sighs lightly
and gazes out of the east winbow at a tur
nip patch. At lasts he remarks:
“This is might v good weather for cotton
picking.”
“’Tin that,” the lady responds, “if we
only had any to pick.”
The rocking continues.
“Wlial's your dog’s name ?”
“Coony !” Another sigh-broken still
ness.
“What’s he good for ?”
“What's he good for?” says he abstract
edly.
“Your dog, Coony.”
“For Fetching ’possums.”
Silence for half an hour.
“Helooks like a deer hound.”
“Who looks like a deerhound?”
“Coony.”
“11 ■ is, he's sort o’ hellowsed, an’ gctlii ■'
old n’ slow, an’ he ain’t no ’count on a
cold trail.”
In the quirt ton minutes that ensues
sir tak* *• -w.i stit“h' >• in 1 er quilt, a " r
geous affair made after the patent called
“Rose of Sharon.”
“Your mu raising many chickens?”
“Forty odd.”
The more rocking, and somehow the big
rocking chair and the little rocking chair
are jammed fide by side, and rocking is
impossible.
,‘Makin’ quilts?”
“Yes,” she replied, brightening up, for
she is great on quilts. “I’ve just finished
a gorgeous ‘Eagle of Brazil, a ‘S itin
Sun,’ and a ‘Nation’s Pride.’ Have you
ever saw the ‘Rose of the Prairie ?’ ”
“No.”
More silence. Then he says:
“Do you love cabbage?”
“I do that.”
Presently his hand is accidentally placed
on burs, of which she does not seem to be.
at all aware. Then he suddenly says:
“Pse a great mind to bite you,”
“What have you a great mind to bit me
for?”
“Ease you won’t have me.”
“Kase you ain’t axed ine.”
“Well, now, 1 nx you’”
“Then now I has you.”
Coony dreams lie hears a sound of kiss
ing, and the next day the young man
goes after a marriage license.

Sweet Courtship.
They were Hitting on a stylo—Sary and
Steve. Ho at one end, solemnly “gnaw
ing his tawny-mustache” (I’vo just road a
dime novel), she at the other, solemnly
knitting ootton laee. He smiled. She
smiled. He slipped np close to her side,
(took a big sweet potato out of his pocket
and wiped it carefully on hi’s sleeve.
“Well, less,' she replied, gnawing at the
raw potato. Ten minutes of dead silence.
Then from another pocket he handed a
bundle tied up in a handkerchief.
“(Jner.v: what I've got,”said he archly.
"Mo’ taters?”
“No,”
“ ‘Tiger cakes?”
“No.”
“i 'uinkvpins ?”
“No.”
“Warnuts ?”
“No.”
“Goobers ?”
“Yaas ! Now o-aess who ther'e fur.''
“For yo’ mar?”
“No.”
“For o’par?”
“No?”
“For that snreer-eyed Cath’n yon’so ben

“No.” One of his rare smiles played
upon his aristocratic features at that mo

“Maybe tliey’s for mo?”
“1 hat's who tbey’s fur, shore.”
She took the bundle and thanked him.

on the ground, then at the cotton luce

That was love’s test; but she replied,

A Theatrical Joke.
In the “good old days" at the Ilayniar
ket Theatre they were running the musi
cal farce of “No Song, No Supper,” and
the exigencies of the piece required a real
leg of mutton every night, which, accord
ing to the law of “property,” or rather the
“property man’s law” in a theatre, went
after each performance almost untouched
to the official named. But the "flymen”
perched up a loft did not like this which
occurred night after night -to their growing
dissatisfaction; for they, too,had wives and
tamilieH to whom a boiled leg of mutton
tree of charge would have been a thing to
be remembi red. So they hit upon a plan,
and one night Mr. Diliiam Farren, who
had the carving of the aforesaid leg, was
solicited to fix a hook that would’be let
down from the “flies into the mutton, and
leave rest to them. Farren, always ready
for a practical joke, consented at once;
and as the scone waH coming to a termina
tion, deftly fastened the hook into the leg
and “left the rest to them.” As the scene
shifters were preparing to “close in,” and
the property man stood at the wings ready
to seize on his perquisite, th* leg of mut
ton was seen slowly to ascend without any
visible agency. The audience laughed,
my lather (who, uk Endless, was watching
the maneuver from his sack) laughed, too,
and the employes all gave vent to their
feelings in ill-r.urprested merriment—all
save the proju rfy man, who remained mis
erably serious, and gazed at his fast de
parting supper with a woe begone ooun
t--nance. Suddenly when the scene was
about c-10--.-d in, the hook, which Farren
had unfortunatly only fastened in the fat,
give way, and down came the much cov
et'd mutton on the dish with a terrific
splash. The audience now roared; tho
employ s roared; Farren at the table and
mv father in the sack roared; and as the
"f'ats hid the unrehearsed tableau from
view, the now delighted property-man
ce’u A on to the stage, and fiecurring his
;11-treat >1 supper, joined in the General
roar. Our “fly” fishers were never known
to try a “hook” again.
