Tho Evening Chronicle is a bright new candidate for popular favor in Koine, the initial num ber appearing last Thursday. It has the aftornoon field to itself in tho Hill City at present. The Southern Field, tho indus trial publication of the Southern Railway,issued at Washington,D. 0., contains a handsome illustra tion of tho Aragon Mills in tho last number of that paper.
