ern Newspaper.* *

ATLANTA DAILY CONSTITU
TION.
We have few promises to make for The
Constitution for 1879. The paper speaks
for itself, and upon Unit ground the mana
gers offer it to the public as the best, the
brightest, the newsiest, and the most com
plete daily journal published in the south.
This is tlie verdict, of our readers, and the
verdict of the most* critical of our exchang
es, some of whose opinions we take pleasure
in presenting below.
The managers will be pardoned for briefly
alluding to some of the features which
ha ve given The Constitution prominence
among southern papers.
1. It prints all tlie news, both by mail
and telegraph.
1*1 Its telegraphic service is fuller than
that of any other Georgia paper—its spe
cial dispatches placing it upon a footing,
so far as the news is concerned, with tho
metropolitan journals.
III. Its compilation of the news by mail
is the freshest of the best, comprising
everything of interest ih the current news
paper literature of the day.
IV. Its editorial department is full,
bright and vivacious, ami its paragraphs
and opinions are more widely quoted than
those of any other southern journal. It
discusses nil questions of public interest,
and touches upon all current themes.
V. “Bill Arp,” the most, gcuial of hu
morists, will continue to contribute to its
columns. “Old Si” and “Uncle Remus”
will work in tlieir special fields, and will
furnish fun, both in prose and verse.
VI. It is a complete news, family and
agricultural journal. It is edited with the
greatest care, and its columns contain
everything of interest in tlie domain of
politics, literature mid science.
VII; In addition to these, full reports of
the supreme court and of 1 lie proceedings
of the general assembly, will he published,
and * no pains will be spared to keep the
paper up to its present stuudard.

Public to judge how fur wo have succeeded
