advantage of this opportunity one of its pub

terday We received by telegraph an order for
Sirty additional copies Of our Daily. which
Will be sent regularly on the midnight train
Our first edition has gone regularly on that train
and though sometimes owing to a detention of
our night dispatches, the paper is necessarily
sent out without including all tho news and
without proper revision in the main we have
done as well as could be expected under the
circumstances.
In addition TO its large list of subscribers at
Chattanooga, who are served by carrier about
as early as those in Knoxville, tho CHRONICLE
has large circle of readers in Cleveland, Athens
and Greeneville, where it is delivered every
morning by special agents, and also at Kings
ton, Jonesborough and Bristol. Without
including our Chattanooga list, the CHRONICLE
has very much larger cirlutation in the places
named than any other paper. We know we
are within bounds in saying that our list is four
to one of any other Daily published in East
Tennessee. We mention these facts for the
satisfaction of our friends and for the benefit of
advertisers who want to know how to reach the
people of Knoxville and East Tennessee.
