—The „ Trade , Review „ of , the Augusta
1883°has & been* received ^t'^this office.
It is by far the best trade review we
have Been and reflects great credit up
on that valuable paper. Its columns
itre worthy of careful perusal, present
intr to the reader all the various
branches of industry of Augusta. The
Chronicle ahd Constitutionalist is one
of the best dailies published in the
South, and has perhaps more readers in
this section than all the other papers
combined. It is the oldest paper in
the country and has many
in this county who have been taking it
for upwards of forty years. The
Chronicle has doubtless shed more
lustre upon our beloved State and
done more for the advancement of the
interests of its people than any other
paper that has ever been published in
the State. May it be as prosperous iu
the future as it has been in tlie past.
