rrne Newspaper Business
Timely Words.

Mr.. Clisby, the senior editor and
proprietor of the Macon (Ga.) Tel
ecraph, is one OF the Oldest pub
fishers as.well as one of the best
editors in the Southern States.
His remarks, therefore, which we
copy below, on the conduct of the
newspaperbusiness. deserves care
ful consideration by those who
have more ambition than expert
ence in the profession of journal
ism:
aThe ambition for display of Il
large sheet not only wastes ezpen-
sire material in Improbable dis
play, but reduces prices and pro-
fits on legitimate advertising, by
eager eanvassing and sharp COM
petition to increase its volume.
When newspapers have teo large
q space to fill and must canvass
actively for advertising, in order
TO divide and reduce the loss on
that space, they are at buyers
mercy.
And they increase the discom-
forts of their condition when, in
the course Of active competition
for subscribers. they take names
on q credit to swell up a list which
win justify a boast of the largest
circulation Vain and expensive
boast which, in these days meets
not the smallest credllity.
When, then, a paper begs adj
vertisements in order to fill the
largest sheet, and then begs sub
scribers on a credit in order to
boast of The largest circulation its
miseries are well-nigb. complete.
Now, against this vain and
wasteful policy, have the courage
TO cut down your sheets to the
smallest size compatible with your
current profitable advertising, and
admitting the usual amount of
reading matter which experience
cells you your business will Justify.
Have the courage to stop editions
of your paper which do not pay,
have the courage to demand cash
from your patrons, and so avoid
the loss of a host of small debts
sot worth the collecting. There
70 not one old newspaper publish
rim the South who cannot show
