The Georgian’s Weekly News Briefs Section
The Atlanta Georgian
AND NEWS
Being the News of Each Day of the Week in Condensed Form Specially For the Busy Man and the Farmer
ATLANTA, GA., WEEK OF OCTOBER 7-14,-1910
The Week s News Review For Our Readers Every Saturday
Beginning today we will on every Saturday give the
readers of the daily Georgian the benefit of our News Briefs,
which will come to them as a section of the Saturday Geor
gian.
We have built the Saturday Georgian into a great paper,
and we are not half thru with the job.
We do not believe a Sunday paper is the right thing.
We know we are old-fashioned about this, but what’s the dif-
■ ference? We know lots of old-fashioned people who are
doing great things in this world and then, too, success usu
ally has somewhere in its foundations some old-fashioned
ideas.
There will never be a Sunday Georgian; first, because
we do not believe in a Sunday newspaper and we DO BE
LIEVE IN SUNDAY. /
Second, we believe six days work a week, is enough for
any one to be called to do,
and we ought not to rob
men’s families of their
, fathers and brothers and
sisters by making them
j, v print a Sunday paper.
Third, men can give you a better paper six days in the
week if they have Sunday than they can if they work seven
days and some nights and thus get to be mere machines—at
outs with themselves and the world.
Then, too, from a strictly newspaper standpoint, if you
want to see how little happens between Saturday evening’s
papers and the time Sunday’s papers go to press, just com
pare them for news some day.
In a Sunday paper you get more of what
newspaper men call, “feature matter”—pic
tures of how some beauty preserves her com
plexion, or possibly stories of the king of
England and his doings—travel stories. If
this interests the public, there can be^ no
reason for their not getting it, but it can be
put in a Saturday paper just as.well as a Sunday and The
]. Georgian puts as many of its fashion features, stories and the
, like in the Saturday paper as is possible. •
;ii: . For a long time we have been publishing a little news
paper or a weekly news review called The Weekly News
Briefs.
It is the boiled down news of the week put together in
convenient form and printed at the end of each week.
Not a weekly in the usual sense of the name, but an un
biased news review, covering the happenings of the seven
days past in the form of a little paper for each day. So care
ful are we that the page for each day of the week be a true
report of the important
events of that day that the
editor who prepares the
news or “boils it down” as
it were, does it each after
noon as soon as the daily
paper of that day is printed,
and while his view of the
news of that day is fresh and
unwarped by time, as is the
case where one attempts to
, sit down and condense a
week’s news on a day in the
week. . i.
This little news review is sold at 36 cents a year and its
friends have grown in numbers until the circulation has
reached fifty thousand (50,000) copies each issue.
It never had occurred to us that people reading our daily
effch evening, thereby getting the news every day, would be
interested in the News Briefs and we were somewhat sur
prised to find that many, city people especially, were pleased
to get the little review of the news of all the past week.
And so that has persuaded us to print an extra edi
tion of the News Briefs as the “News Briefs Section of the
Saturday Georgian,” slightly changing some small details of
the regular issue to suit the circumstances. We will add
this section to our Saturday Georgian without extra cost to
subscribers. We are sure you will find it useful.
It contains also a sermon each week by one of our state
preachers—a different preacher each Saturday.
Campbell Morgan’s Sun- '
day school lesson.
A’story or two. •
An especially valuable re
view of the week’s markets. >
And no whisky or unclean advertisements.

large sum in the aggregate, and for various manufactories.
Monday, Oct 10.—Dr. A. R. Levy, a Jewish rabbi of Chi
cago, has obtained an option on 32,000 acres of land in Ho
boken, Pierce county, Georgia, where he in
tends to develop a Jewish farming community.

ital invested is highly grati

above $5,000,000. The past
few weeks have witnessed
deals in railroad circles and
in mining districts which will
draw large capital from
other sections of the country,
and these indications are
most encouraging in esti
mating the general outlook
for the South. Cold climate
farmers are moving South in
great number*.

Georgian’s Weekly, Atlanta, 6a.:
Dear Sirs—It may be a source of some satisfaction to you
to know that we broke an iron-clad rule in placing our ad in
The Georgian’s Weekly before it was at least one year old,
but being familiar with The Georgian’s policy and the confi
dence it has won for itself in the homes of its city subscribers,
we readily appreciated the fact that a weekly Georgian would
fill a long-felt want in the farmer’s home.
The results from our ad in the first issue of The Weekly
Georgian far exceeded our expectations, and fire Sufficient evi
dence in onr minds that it will be a great success.
Trusting that yon will grow in greatness, we are,
Yours very truly, "
