A MODEL NEWSPAPER
The Savanlih Daily News.
The Savrtnnah Duily Norninq News is ac
knowledged by the press and people to be the
best daily paper south of Louisville and east
of New Orleans. Carrying with it the prestige
and reliability of age, and it has all the vigor
and vitality of youth, and its enterprise as a
gatherer of the latest and freshest news lias
astonsked its cotemporaies and met the appro
bation of the bublic.
During the year 1873 no expense of time,
labor, and money will be spared to keep the
Morning News ahead of all its competitors in
Georgia journalism, and to deserve the flatter
ing encohiums heaped upon it from all quar
ter's. There has as yet, been no serious at
tempt made to rival the special telegrams which
the News inaugurated some years ago, and
the consequence, is that the reader in search
cf the latest intelligence always looks to the
Morning News. The telegraphic arrange
ments of tlie paper are such that the omissions
made by the general press reports are promptly
and reliably supplied by its special correspond
ents.
The Morning News has lately been enlarged
to a thirty-six column paper, and tins broad
scope of type embraces, daily, everything of
interest that transpire in the domain of litera
ture, Art, science, Politics, Religion, and Gen
eral intelligence, giving to the reader more
and better digest than other papar in matter
the State.
It is perhaps needless to speak of the poli
tics ot the Morning News. For yours and
years indeed, since its estalislnnent, —it has
been a representative Southern paper, and
from that time to the present, in all conjunct
ures, it has consistently and pt rsistently main
tained Democratic States Rights princ’pl and
labored, with an ardor and devotio I ,’ ’ ■■■,<
no abatement, to promote and pr . r\\ i. . hi
terests and honor of the South.
The special features of the M ..>
will be retained and improved \.
ensuing year and several n .
be addedft
The Georgia News items, wit . , r
and pleasant humor, and the epiton, f a
affairs, will be continued during ti <. y r
The local department will be the most com
plete and reliable to be found in any Savan
nah paper, and the commercial column 11
be full and accurate.
The price of the Daily is $lO 00 per annum
$2.00 tor six months; SI.OO for one month.
THE TRI-WEEKLY NEWS.
This edition of the Morning News is es
pecially recommended to those who have n*t,
the facilities of a daily mail. Everything that
llis been said in regard to ti e daily e liti- n
may be repeated of the Tri-weekly. It is made
up with great care, and contains the l.d st des
patches and market reports. The price of this
edition is SO.OO per annum, $3.00 for six months,
and $1.50 for three months.
THE WEEKLY NEWS.
The W ev.kly Morning News particularly rec
ommends itself to the farmer and planter, and
to these who live off the line of railroad. It is
one of the best family papers in the country,
and its cheapness brings it within the reach of
all. It contains Thirty-six solid columns of
reading matter, and is mailed so as to reach sub
scribers with the utmost
carefully aAd laboriously edited comAdium
of the news of the week,'and contains m addi
tion, an infinite variety ot other choice reading
matter. Editorials on all topics, sketches of
men, manners, and fashions, tales, poetry, bi
ography, pungent paragraphs and condensed
telegrams enter into its make-up. It contains
the latest telegraphic dispatches and market re
ports' up to the hour of going to press, and is
in all respects, an indispensiLle adjunct to every
home.
Trice-One year, $2.00; six months, $1.00;
three months, 50 cents.

ing News m;\y be sent by express a t the risk and
