At NEW FEATURE To the 3000 illustrations heretofore in Webster’s Unabridged, we have added four pages of COLORED ILLUSTRATIONS eugraved 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, has 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 o 4 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 ma pro'- vision for her schools. Over 8000 schools in Indiana were supplied during the year 1872, au many more in 1873 and 1874. In other States many copies have been purchase l for supplying schools ol cities, counties and towns. What better investment can be made for schools ? More than ten times as many are soldi f Webster’s Dictionaries, as of any other ae ries in this country. At least four fifths of all the sc 00l books published in this country own Webster as their standard, and of the remainder, few acknowledge any standard. Published by G. & C.

Under its new management, flic Atlanta Constitution has won for itself the title of the leading journal of the South. Its en terprise, during the recent election excite ment, i.i sending correspondents to differ ent portions of the countrv, and its series of special telegrams from Washington while the electoral commission was engaged in consummating the fraud that_placed Uadi, c.lism once more in power in our national councils are 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 Consti’ution 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. will eudeavor, by all the means thatthe pro gress of modern journalism has made pos sible and necessary to hold its place as a leader of Southern opinion aud as a purvey or of the latest news. Its editorials will be thoughtful, rimely and vigorous—calm and argumentative in their methods and thor* oughly Southern and Democratic in their sentiments. Its news will be fie-h, 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.
