THE SINGER SEWING MACHINE.
The People’s Favorite.
THE LARGEST SALES BECAUSE THE MOST POPULAR.
The Most Popular Because the Best.
VERDICT OF TIIE LADIES.
THE Stubborn fact shown by the Ostial returns, that the Singer Sewing Machine
the only one whose sales 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 all the 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:

To the 3000 illustrations heretofore in

Nearly every Stat# Superintendent of

has recommended W'krster’s Dictionary in

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 copiesQiave been
pureha3d 1 for supplying schools of cities,
counties aud towns.
What better investment can bc’made for
schools ?
More than ten times as many are soldi f
Webster’s Dictionaries, as of anj other se
ries in this country.
At least four fifths of all the sc 00l books
published in this country own W’ebster as
their standard, and of the remainder, few
acknowledge any standard.

The Atlanta Constitution.
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 recent election excite
ment, in sending correspondents to differ
ent portions of the conntrv, and its series
of special telegrams from Washington while
the electoral commission was engaged in
consummating the fraud that placed Radi.
Cvlisni 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 the re
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 Daily Constitution.

gress of modern journalism has made pos
sible and necessary to hold its place as a
leader of Southern opinion aud as a purvey

argumentative in their methods and thor*
oughly Southern and Democratic in their
