Herald and Jpt^riisqr. Newnan, Ga., Friday, Jan. 18, 1888. 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. Where They Were Assigned. Georgia fared well in the recent dis tribution of committee appointments in the lower House of Congress. Mr. Turner is second on the Commit tee on the Revision of the Laws. Mr. Clements is on the Appropria- ; ions Committee and is chairman of Re form in.the Civil Service. Judge Stewart is on the Committee on the Judiciary, anti on Expenditures in the State Department. Mr. Blount i> re-iiulorsed by being made chairman of the Committee on ]H»t-office.- and P< st-roads. lie is also second on the Census, a committee of very able men. Judge Crisp * iions Come ■' and second on c >me e e. Mr. Norwood is >■ eoiul on Coinage, Weights and Measures, and Third on Foreign Relations. A fine yearling for sale. Stock, English and Jersey.

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.
