WEEKLY CIRCULATION, l,T»0.
JA8. E. BROWN. Editor.
Newspaper Notes.
The Macon Telegraph celebrated the
New Year by donning a new dress out
andf out, and is now one of the hand
somest and most readable journals that
reaches this office. . In fact, since the
paper passed into the control of the new
management it has evidenced decided
improvement in every department,
while its advanced position on the tariff
question has augmented its popularity
in every section of the State. The sub
scription price of the daily has recently
been reduced to $7.50, though its news
service is really more full, complete and
expensive than ever. It is a fine news
paper.
The weekly edition of the Atlanta
Constitution has attained a circulation
never before reached or even approxi
mated by a Southern newspaper, and it
is increasing at a marvelously rapid
rate. About six tons of paper is required
for a single issue,the postage upon which
is $120, or a total of $5,660 per annum for
postage alone ! In the face of these fig
ures even as sturdy a country enterprise
as The Herald and Advertiser
must feel abashed, which, with its total
income from a subscription list of over
seventeen hundred names and an unu
sually generous advertising patronage,
would hardly pay the postage on the
average weekly edition of its powerful
and abluent contemporary.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun seems
to have taken a new lease on life since
it passed into the hands of the present
proprietors, and furnishes most credita
ble evidence of the pluck and enterprise
of that thriving city. It is by all odds
the best newspaper Columbus has ever
had, and in point of editorial ability
and newsiness is second to none in the
State.
The Griffin Sun has been casting
about for an editor since Col. W. W.
Randall’s retirement, but up to this
time the vacancy has not been filled.
We are in receipt of the LaGrange
Graphic, a handsome eight-page weekly
just established in our sister city, and
gladly place it on our exchange list.
Col. W. W. Randall, late of the Griffin
Sun, is editor, and Mr. C. R. Hawk bus
iness manager. The new paper starts
out under most encouraging auspices
and is bound to succeed.
For the first time in her history Rome
is now enjoying the novelty of a first-
class newspaper. In point of enterprise
the Tribune is really in advance of the
town, and the town will have to grow
very fast to catch up with it. Editor
Graves must have been created especial
ly for this emergency, for he fills the
“long-felt want” exactly.
The Henry County Weekly has recent
ly purchased a new Campbell power
press, and appears now as an 8-page,
48-column paper. We feel a sort of
fatherly interest in the old Weekly, and
Messrs. Speer & Turner are conducting
it in a way that delights our heart.
Rumor is afioat of an effort being
made to organize a stock company to
run the Griffin Sun. The paper has an
excellent patronage, and under good
management will prove a profitable in
vestment.
Mr. J. A; Fouche has bought the
I )awson Journal and will assume control
of the paper at once. Mr. Fouche has
been identified with the newspaper in
terests of the State for several years
and is admirably qualified fortlie duties
of the profession, in all its branches.
The Journal is one of the pioneer week
lies of Southwest Georgia and we are
glad to know that it has fallen into such
good hands. Mr. E. R. Rainey, who has
been connected with the paper as editor
for three or four years past, will becon-
t inued in that position.
The Griffin News is one of the few
provincial dailies in the State that has
succeeded in buffeting the tide of fac
tious disfavor and indifference, in the
various local conflicts that occasionally
divide communities, and we are glad
to know is now more strongly entrench
ed in the affections of its constituency
than ever. No editor in Georgia has
done more for the material advance
ment and upbuilding of his community
than has been accomplished by Col.
(Ressner since he located in Griffin,
and the people .owe him a debt of grat
itude that cannot be discounted by
mere words of praise. He is entitled to
i heir substantial and undivided sup
port. and it should be given unstint-
Mr. Barnes is second on Territories
and fourth on Pacific Railroads.
Mr. Candler is chairman of the Com
mittee on Education, and is on Labor,
Mines and Mining.
Mr. Carlton is on Railroads and Ca
nals and on Pensions.
Mr. Grimes is on Manufacsures, on
Accounts, and fourth on Patents.
Major A. O. Bacon has written a
letter in which he defines his position
on the tariff question, butitisso ambig
uous his warmest admirers will be
puzzled to know just where he stands.
He claims to be a tariff reformer, yet
his argument shows him to be a pro
tectionist; he assumes to be in favor of
reducing the tariff, but the incongruity
of his position is painfully manifest
when he attempts to show that the
country will be benefited more by abol
ishing the tax on liquor and tobacco
than by reducing the duty on sugar,
rice, and other articles of necessity; he
professes to stand on the Chicago plat
form, but the sincerity of this profes
sion is so beclouded by equivocacy the
veriest tyro can detect the sham. In
point of fact, Major Bacon stands
squarely on the platform announced
by the Atlanta Constitution, and the
exceeding nicety with which his views
are adjusted to the policy outlined by
that paper is significant, to say the
least. Just what it means remains to
lie seen.
It is said that the Piedmont Exposi
tion in Atlanta, last fall, cleared $58,-
000 in two weeks. This bears out our
statement that the great exposition we
propose to have here next fall will cost
our people nothing but w T ork.—Colum
bus Enepiirer-Sun.
Perhaps not; but it will cost the peo
ple of the surrounding country like
blazes, and that is what hurts. Every
county should have a fair of its own.
The people would not only be material
ly benefited by coming together once a
year in friendly competition, but the
money thus spent would be kept at
home. It has been estimated that the
amount spent by visitors to the late
State Fair and Piedmont Exposition
fell but little short of five million dol
lars, fully one-half of which was ex
pended by the people of Georgia. Of
course, Atlanta and Macon were bene
fited, but there was a corresponding
degree of impoverishment in every sec
tion of the State that patronized the
exhibitions, and the effects are apparent
in some localities even yet.
Tiie debt statement issued last week
at Washington shows the decrease of
the public debt, during the month of
December, to be $14,5S4,650.68; decrease
of the debt since June 30, 1887, $53,839,-
335.03; cash in treasury, $527,625,557.32;
gold certificates outstanding, 96,733,057;
silver certificates, $176,855,423; certifi
cates of deposit outstanding, $6,985,000;
legal tenders outstanding, $34,668,106;
fractional currency, not including the
amount estimated as lost or destroyed,
$6,942,214.12; total interest-bearing
debt outstanding January 1, $1,041,761,-
742; total debt outstanding, including
interest-bearing, accrued but unpaid
interest, and debt bearing no interest,
$1,691,360,705.60; total debt, less cash
items available to its reduction, $1,295,-
341,281.10. _____
Tiiirty-one railroads, aggregating
5,478 miles, and representing an appar
ent capital of $438,000,000, "were sold un
der bankrupt proceedings during the
year 1887. The Bailway Age, in com
menting on the sxxbject, says: “It is
remarkable that while the greater part
of railway building has been carried on
in the wild and presumably reckless
West, the old, conservative and wealthy
Eastern States of New York and Penn
sylvania furnished nearly one-third of
the roads that had to be closed out dur
ing the year; while none of the States
of the West or South made such a show-
ing of reckless or unfortunate manage
ment.”
Major Bacon appears to be harbor
ing a very frisky bee in his bonnet, for
about the fourth time in the past six
years, and amiably intimates his will
ingness to serve the dear people again
if there is anything they will let him
do. The Major has fine tact for keep
ing his memory green in the hearts of
his countrymen—in election years.
Six gentlemen are after the Con
gressional seat now held by Hom.
Thomas W. Grimes. Happy is the man
who hath fragmentary opposition.—
Macon Telegraph.
If Mr. Grimes could only take this
rose-colored view of the situation he
might indeed be happy;—but, alas and
alack ! the end is not yet.

REMARKS.
It wi’l be seen that the trustees have estab
lished what may be called a Public School
The fees charged aie no higher than the ma
triculation lees in our city schools.
This announcement is made possible by the
liberal subscriptions of the citizens of Turin,
and of the community, to the salary of the
teachers. The teachers are paid an annual
salary, and whatever overplus there may tie
will go to the building fund, for improving its
school-house.
The trustees were determined that Turin
should offer educational inducements equal
to the best in the land. To this end they rais
ed, by popular subscription, a sum for salaries
sufficient to secure the best teacher--.
PROF. MOSES is well known to tlie people
of Coweta, and of the surrounding counties,
as the successful principal of the Newnan
Male Seminary. Under his supervision that
school became the largest private Boys’
School in the State. We secured him as
Principal because he ranks among the best
as a teacher, and because he is identified with
us in huildingup our town and community.
He will devote his entire energies to the up
building of the educational and other inter
ests of Turin.
MRS. LILLA JONES is well known to our
people, having taught here before, to the en
tire satisfaction of the patrons. Having ta
ken a thorough course in the State Norma!
School at Nashville, she is thoroughly equip
ped for her work.
MRS. fOLK needs no recommendation
from us. Her work in “the Music Depart
ment for several years spoW-s for itself.
Now, we ask all to work for our school, talk
for it. and patronize it. A live school is ta
li!'.- of any place.
