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 purchase 1 for supplying schools of cities, counties and towns. What better investment can be'made for schools ? “ More than ten times as many are soldi t Webster’s Dictionaries, as of anj other se ries in this country.

Under its new management., the Atlanta Constitution has won for itself the-title of the leading journal of the South. Its en terprise, during the resent, election excite 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 test and most reliable news. There is no better time than row to subscribe for 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 ment in the columns of the Constitution, and this fact alone will make the paper in dispensable to every citizen of the State.— To be brief, The Atlanta Dally Constitution. will eudeavor.Jby all the means that the pro gress of modern journalism has made pos sible and necessary to hold its place as a leader of Southern opinion and as a purvey or of the latest news. Its editorials will be thoughtful, limely and vigorous—calm and argumentative in their methods and thor* oughly Southern and Democratic in their sentiments. Its news will be fresh, reliable and carefully digested. It will be alert and enterprising, and no expense will be spared to make it the medium of the latest and most important intelligence.
