Wc. have few promises to make for Tiik
Constitution for 1879. The paper speaks
for itself, and upon that ground the mana
gers offer it to the public as the ljest, the
brightest, the newsiest, and the moat com
plete daily journal published in the south.
This is the verdict of our readers, and the
verdict of the most critical of our exchang
es, some of whose opinions we take pleasure
injiresenting below.
The managers will be pardoned for briefly
alluding to 1 some of the features which
have given The Constitution prominence
among southern papers.
1. It prints all the news, both by mail
and telegraph.
11 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, witli the
metropolitan journals.
III. Its compilation of the news by mail
is the freshest of I lie best, comprising
everything of interest in the current news
paper literature of the day.
IV. Its editorial department is full,
bright and \ ivacious, and its paragraphs
and opinions are more widely quoted than
those of any other southern journal. It
discusses all questions of public interest,
and touches upon all current Themes.
V. ‘‘Bill Arp,” the most genial of hu
morists, will continue to contribute to its
columns. “Old Si" and "Uncle Remus"
will work in their sjnicial Helds, and will
furnish fun, both in {nose 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 the domain of
politics, literature aud science.
VII. In addition to these, full reports of
the supreme court and of the proceedings
of the general assembly, will be published,
und no pains will be spared to keep the
paper up to its present standard.
What the Critics Say.
The best paper in the south.—Keokus
Constitution.
The ablest paper of the south.—Burling
ton Hawkeye.
One of the most desirable journals, in the
country,—Detroit Free Press.
Too brightest and newsiest daily paper
iu the south:—Baltimore Gazette.
There is no better newspaper iu the
southern states.—Charlotte Observer.
Steadily advancing toward the position
of a metropolitan journal.—Selma Times.
It is one of the brightest, most enterpris
ing, and withal most liberal of southern
journals.—Brooklyn. Tim«“-
Not content’with being the best newspa
per in tiie south, is determined to he tint
best looking also.—Philadelphia Times.
Ably edited and newsy always, in its new
dress it is ns attractive m form as it has
heretofore been in matter.—New Orleans
Democrat.
The Atlanta Constitution with Its
new clothes, is now the handsomest, us it?
lias long been the best, newspaper in the
south.—New York Star.
Tub Atlanta Constitution 1ms been
making steady progress the lust few yours,
and may now fairly claim a place among
the first Jinif-dozcn southern newspapers.—
Springfield Republican.
To say that The Constitution is one of
the brightest, newsiest journals of the
country, a paper of which the whole south
may well be proud, is but to state a self-
evident fact appareut to all,—Washington
Post.
