For nearly half a century the Georgia Telegraph and the Georgia Journal and Messenger, either separately or united, have been the great organs of general intelligence to this and the contiguous sections of Georgia and Alabama. In all the varied social, civil and political experience of this region daring that extended and momentous period in its history, these old Journals have been the constant and familiar visitors of thousands of households in this vast area of country, and have muni icrcd their readers and patrons by successive generations. In the whole scope of this great Agricultural section of two of the most imp. .rtant Cotton States, the fortunes of these journals have varied simply with the varying fortunes of the people, and to-day their dr- GQ culm ion and hold upon the public confidence and estimation have never been exceeded at any period in their long history. Indeed, as the demands upon newspapers became yearly more exacting—the expen ses of publication increase and concentration of capital and labor be come more indispensable, so, we are glad to say, our circulation and influence increase with equal steps. The former have multiplied more than tenfold in the last twenty years, and the circulation and business of the Telegraph and Messenger have increased in the same propor- i ion. We rejoice to believe that in no section of the United States is thoro a newspaper possessing a more complete occupation of its pecu liar field of circulation than do the various editions of the Telegraph amd Messenger, within that whole region of country to which it can r:trry the earliest intelligence. Its circulation in gross we suppose to be not exceeded by that of any newspaper in the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi,* with perhaps a single exception, but its cir culation in its appropriate and particular field, is without an approxi mating rival. These arc the circumstances and this the condition which make the Telegraph and Messenger such a remarkably good Advertising Me dium. There is scarcely a family or individual doing business with Macon, within a radius of two or three hundred miles around the city, who does not read the paper, so that an advertisement in its columns reaches all eyes. The Macon merchant can scarcely add a greater publicity to his business, among people who can trade with him, after he has advertised in this paper. The Northern or Western merchant or manufacturer can rely on the fact that by advertising in this paper he will address the whole mercantile, professional and agricultural population of this large area, and need go no further for that purpose, Wc arc frequently in receipt of testimonials from advertisers of all classes as to the peculiar value of this newspaper as an advertising medium. And wc are ready to place these advantages at the disposal of the public on the most reasonable terms compatible with our expenses and circulation. Our policy is to encourage advertising by moderate charges; but it must bo obvious to every man of common sense that wc cannot multiply copies of advertisements by thousands, for the same price that others can furnish them by scores and hundreds. This point is better understood in the great commercial centres where ad vertising is valued and paid for precisely according to the scale of cir culation—where one paper will be cheerfully paid three dollars a line and another five cents a line for the same advertisement, according to their measure of circulation. The first furnishes paper, press-work and circulation for a hundred thousand impressions, and the latter perhaps for a few hundreds. The contracts have all the difference which exists between a pound and hogshead of sugar ; but both, it may be, print and circulate a merchant's address to the public for less than half what a corresponding number of circulars or handbills would cost, whi6h could have no other circulation than they might obtain from a range of limited personal acquaintances and mere fugacious personal efforts. There can be no cheaper or better method of ad vertising than through the columns of a popular, widely circulated newspaper, which by long habit and association has become the daily source of information to all within the scope of country which fur nishes the trade of its commercial centre. All other expedients to communicate with the people are comparatively inefficient and value less. We place the Telegraph and Messenger before the public, as a certain, popnlar, and unrivalled medium of advertising communica tion with all that part of Georgia and Alabama which looks to Macon for its market or for the earliest news. THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH & MESSENGER Is an immense sheet, 3Sx52 inches in size and containing fifty-six col umns. It is designed to contain a full and connected history of the week, and although its great size is complained of by some, yet we find the whole space essential to the grand design of the paper. A family in possession of this paper need be ignorant of no important event in the world’s current history, or miss any important idea or discovery of the times. In State news it covers the whole ground and gives all current events of importance in every county of Georgia. It also furnishes an invaluable original summary of foreign news—and gives the latest market advices from every commercial point. This paper is a universal favorite of the Georgians who have emigrated to Texas and other distant points, and in this way its cir culation is coextensive with thfe United States and is, in fact, scattered over foreign countries, We feel that so invaluable a paper, large as its circulation is, has never yet attained the full measure of its deserts. Will not its readers everywhere interest themselves in extending the sphere of its useful ness? The price of the paper is three dollars per annum, bnt if any reader has a mind to add another new subscriber to the list, he may remit five dollars, and we will send the paper to the new subscriber and add a year to his own account. o Q O »-E O 3 GQ O F w Q w y s o P I o © ® s I 6 pi p> ® tn *d © d g ® pi o' ffi *-i & CO d pi t? o S’ »d § c+ o' to a cn 5* S’ CP3 IE SEMI-WEEKLY TELEGRAPH AID Is s compact paper with few advertisements, and furnished twice a week.
