v i. \ / 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. The Week’s Growth and Progress of the New South Saturday, Oct. 8.—During the week Governor Noel, of Mississippi, approved several charters, representing rather a 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.

Friday, Oct. 14.—Marked activity was shown through out the South during the week ending October 12. New or ganizations sprung up in all sections, and the increase in cap ital invested is highly grati fying, aggregating as it does 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*. Tin OwrfUa: W. Mypt cplmdld HMT «nd ru4 tt «rar d>,. w, k». •btetnd U* cptrtt thrsickost It.

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, " GOLDEN EAGLE BUGGY COMPANY. - O. D. SMALL, Manager. . Sdltac n. OtercUa: I tktak Til Italian U tb k*tt 4^1? M,.
