VERDICT Or 77/ E LADIES.
milE stubborn fact shown by the oflicial returns, that the Singer Sewing Machine
X the only one whose have largely and steadily increased every year, uninterrupt
edly—that, last year the sales more than doubled those of the neit highest competitor,
and nearly equalled the sales of ali'thc other companies combined, demonstrates beyond
all controversy that
THE SINGER SEWING MACHINE
is the most popular, because, in the estimation of the ladies of the country, is superior
to any other ma ufactured. The following returns of sales, sworn to by each company
tells the story :

A!NEW FEATURE.
To the 3000 illustrations heretofore in
Webster’s Unabridged, we have added four
pages of
COLORED ILLUSTRATIONS*
engraved expressly for the work at large
expense.
Nearly every State Superintendent of
Public Instruction in the Union, or corres
ponding officer, where such an one exists,
lias recommended Webster’s Dictionary in
the strongest terms. Among them are those
of Eastern, Northern, Middle, Southern and
Western States—twenty-eight in al - j
STATE PURCHASES.
The State of New York has placed 10,000
copies of Webster’s Unabridged in as many
of her Public Schools.
The Slate of Wisconsin, about 5,000
nearly every school.
The State of New Jersey, 1,500 —nearly
every school.
The State of Michigan made provision
for all her schools.
The State of Massachusetts has supplied
her schools—nearly all.
The State of lowa has supplied her
schools.
The State of Connecticut has made pro*-
vision for her schools.
Over 8000 schools in Indiana were
supplied during the year 1872, and many
more in 1873 and 1874.
In other States many copiesjhave been

counties and towns.
What better investment can be'made for
schools ? “
More than ten times as many are soldi t

At least four fifths of all the school books
published in this country own Webster as
their standard, and of the remainder, few
acknowledge any standard.

Under its new management., the Atlanta
Constitution has won for itself the-title of
the leading journal of the South. Its en

ment, ia sending correspondents to differ
ent portions of the counfrv, and its series
of special telegrams from Washington while
the electoral commission was engaged in
consummating the fraud that placed Kadi.
cGism once more in power in our national
councils arc evidences conspicuous enough
to prove that no expense will be spared to
make the Constitution not only a leader in
the discussion of matters of public concern,
but a leader in the dissemination of the la

A Fresh and Vigorous Newspaper,
Albeit, there has been a quasi settlement
of one of the most difficult and dangerous
problems of modern federal politics, the
discussions springing therefrom and there
suits likely to ensue have lost nothing of
their absorbing interest. In addition to
this, the people of Georgia are now called
upon to settle
The Convention Question.
and in the discussion of this important sub
ject (in which the Constitution will take a
leading part) every Georgian is interested.
If a convention is called its proceedings
will find their earliest and fullest embodi

dispensable to every citizen of the State.—
To be brief,
