A MERRY CHRISTMAS.
To our renders, one and all, the
News wishes you a merry, happy
Christmas nnd a glorious und pros
perous New Yeur. Wo will not
issue another paper until the Wed
nesday following Christmas, as the
News force is only human and de
sires a little season of rest. We
trust that each of our many readers
will enjoy themselves during the
Joyful Christmas times to their
peart’s desire, and hope that they
may all huve abundant occasion to
be of light spirit and glnd of heurt.
The holy origin and significance
of .the seuson should be kept hi
mind, and allow not the baser
appetites to gain control and make
Of it a time of dissipation and de
bauchery. The birth of the Saviour
in the lowly manger at Bethlehem
Was an occasion of rejoicing nnd
thanksgiving, and of good will
and peace unto men. Let us, then,
lo keep and observe it.
A CHANGE IN RATEt.
At the close of the old year and
near the beginning of a new one.
we wish to make an announcement
to the patrons of the NeWs in regard
to a policy which we intend to adopt
relative to our local advertising
rates.
Ever since the News was estab
lished, we have spared neither time
nor hard work in giving the people
of this county a newsy, bright and
readable newspaper, and, thanks to
them, the people have appreciated
our,efforts, and have Jent us their
hearty support until today the News
has a circulation that is hot excelled
by any twice-a-week country news
paper in the stale of Georgia.
This statement is not made reck
lessly or without foundation. Our
books are open to your inspection,
ami We mean every word we say
Furthermore,the News has a larger
circulation than any paper in Dooly
county—a fact we can and will
prove by a comparison of subscrip
tion books.
Therefore, taking these facts into
consideration,and also the fact that
we issue two papers every week
while most papers only issue one,
we have decided to raise our adver
tising rates. We are clearly en
titled to higher rates than we have
been getting for our advertising and
must have it.
With our present circulation it is
impossible to continue after the first
of the year to ubide by our present
rules. While we shall not charge
any unreasonable prices, yet in
justice to ourselves and to support
this paper we will be compelled to
chaise more for advertising space
Contracts that are now running
will, of course, be continued until
th3ir expiration.
At the beginning of the new
year, our advertising manager will
visit our business men and we trust
that they will give him hearty en
couragement and continue, us in the
past, to patronise us liberally.
In return we promise you that
you shall receive full value for every
penny expended with, us. As an
advertising medium the News has
no equal, and we hope that our
business men will appreciate this
fact and act accordingly.
Brother Shaver, of the Jackson
Argus, steals an originnl article on
the locil paper from us and credits
It to "one of the big dailies."
There’s nothing like steuling your
matter from others. It tuke*_ less
time and trouble,you know. That
is one thing this paper will not be
guilty of. Every clipped article
thut enters our columns shall hate
due credit. We have no more right
to steal another’s articles than we
have to take his pocket book.
Notwithstanding the^ fun and
ridicule thut has been poked at
T.oin Watson by the newspapers
und his political enemies, he is one
of the brainiest men in the South
today, a fact which not even his
enemies care to dispute. It is true
that he chased off ufter the false
god of populism and repudiated
his party and former allies, hut if
he has opened his eyes to his own
folly the democratic party could do
BO better than to extend to him a
. warty welcome back into its folds.
Tom Wfutson is a power in this
State whan he chooses to use his
tiratoricui and persuuveness on
the people. He can most certainly
Attract a large following to his
Standard no matter whut policies or
doctrines he enunciate... aud his
services in the cause of democracy
in the coming campaign would be
of inestimable value to it.

HARD PUSHED.
The Campbell Copnty News.is in
sore straits. Poor fellow, he can’t
make up his mind to be satisfied
with the outcome offthat little ar
gument with us u short time ago.
His wounds are still smarting, aud
out of the bitterness of his spirit
toward us, and keenly realizing his
inability to sustain his side of the
controversy, he seeks to cover up
his utter defeat and gulling humiliu
tion by discovering a typographical
error in the News. A little thing
though it was, it was the best
product the contents of his cranium
would turn out, and he seized it
with the avidity of u drowning man
grabbing at a straw. By the means
of a pocket edition of a time worn
grammar, he was doubtless able,
utter much research and laborious
effort, to ascertain the mnnner in
which the possessive case is formed,
and then with a majestic air of deep
learning, he tells us of our "awful"
mistake. Cheer up, Bro. Toney,
and try to forget that drubbing we
gave you, or if you want to sav
anything about us, get up above
such petty things as a typographical
error.
Girls, if you desire to know
whether or not you are. physically
perfect, ascertain if your whole
length is seven times that of your
head; ten times that tof your fuce;
nineteen' times the length of
your hands and six or seven times
the length of your foot. These are
the measurements a physically per
fect woman must come up to.

A SOUTHERN flAGAZINB.
The South should have a first-
class monthly magazine. Some
how, such an enterprise has never
been a success in the South, though
we believe several attempts have
been made in this direction. The
principal drawback seems to be the
necessary capital. Tr.e establish
ment of such a magazine requires
an immense sum of money, not only
to start it out, but to keep it going
until it will support itself.
Though we may be lacking oi.the
capital, we are not short on literary
talent, as some ot the brightest
und most gifted writers before the
reading public today ure Southern
men and women. The establish-
nfent of such a magazine would
encourugeand develop talent which
is now undreamed ot. Southern
writers must now go to the North
ern magazines to - find a market for
their wares. If they could find
that market here in the South, we
believe they would be encouraged
and spurred on to greater efforts.
A Southern magazine for South
ern writers, such as Muntey’s,
Scribners’ and numerous others
would be a great boon to Southern
literature.
