40,000 people readily, and having

majestic pile. Besides, it is, from
jan architectural point of view, the
I grandest and most imposing Goth

its large gilded dome it is 220 feel
high with a '360-foot tower, and
1470 feet long. From the outside
to the tower 300 steps lead up,and
from there 195 steps on the inside
up to the highest gallery. The
pertection of the pointed Gothic
style is seen in the perspective ol
the immense naye and its well-
proportioned aisles, and the bauti
ful stained glass windows (the
largest in the world); while the
grandeur of the interior is further
enhanced by its 52 supporting pil

of some 500,000; is growing in gen

and embellishments in proportion,
spreading out like the octopus;
“with its body at the Piazza del
Duomo, whence it throws out its
feelers and feeders to all the prin

ramparts (erected in I546) which
are about 7 miles in circumference,
forming a most delightful walk or

which in April and May are espe

Our first visit took us to the
Piazza della Scala with the monu

Leonardo da Vinci in the middle,
and the Teatro della Seala (con
sidered “a passport to fame and a
prized cachet of merit”) on th
one hand and the Palazzo Marino

Thence we passed through an
arcade called the “Galleria Vittoric

Piazza del Dumrr, In the open

statue to the gallant King Victor
Emmanuel, to whom Italy owes so

The Church of St. Ambrogio
(dedicated to the Pation Sa nt of
Milan, St. Ambrose) from its nn

St. Ambrogic himself in 387, and
is his final resting place as well. It

remains, very old sarcophagi, and
many paintings in its chapels by

Sometimes sample copies of Tun Niswh are mailed to
persons who are not subscribers ol’this paper. Of course this
is an invitation to subscribe; and we take this method of letting
people unacquainted with Tilts Nkwh read a few copies in order
to determine if they wish to I income permanent readers.
Every sample eopy of Tun Niswh mailed lias the words,
“Sample Copy” printed at the top of first page in bold type.
No person is expected to or can lie made to pay for sample
copies of a newspaper. Therefore, any person may, with per
fect propriety and freedom, receive from a postoflice or carrier
sample copies of Tun Niswh, with the assurance that they will
never be asked to pay for them.
Tins Niswh trusts all persons receiving sample copies
will give them careful consideration. It is unfair to condemn
Tins Niswh without a hearing (or, a reading) and we feel sure
but very few people in Coweta county are so narrow-minded
and prejudiced ns to be unwilling to read a few sample copies of
this paper.
Tins Niswh seeks patronage on ils merits as a newspaper,
ft neither panders to prejudice nor bows to puerility.• It neither
fears to approve right nor to condemn wrong. It proposes to
meet all men and all issues in a spirit o*' candor, fairness and
courtesy; but it does not propose lo be a trimmer or a dodger,
nor to veil its attitude on any question with a multitude of idle
words. Tins Niswh hits straight from the shoulder and ex
presses its sentiments in the plainest English at its command.
These are a few words in reference to the principles con
trolling the conduct of Tins Niswh.
In addition to these things, This Niswh prints the news
of Coweta county with impartiality; and as it desires to excell
shall endeavor as the days go by to print more news than any
other county paper and to give the people the best service ob
tainable in a county paper.
This we regard as a laudable ambition; anil have no apol
ogies to make for possessing that spirit or being guided by its
inspiration.
Finally, all This Niswh asks is that persons who receive
sample copies will examine them in a spirit of fairness, and
render an unprejudiced verdict as to this paper’s merits and its
claims for patronage. Jf all will do this, This Niswh will !>e satis
fied with their verdict, whether it is favorable or unfavorable to
this paper.
