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.
