The ATLANTA SUS.-The mortality
among Southern journals during the
past six months has been unusually
great. The last victim to the ravages Of
the epidemic is the Atlanta Sun, which
suspended publication on Monday. This
is the third Georgia daily which has
died within the past month. Two of
them-the Augusta Constitutionalist and
the Savannah Repu6lican-were among
the Oldest papers in the South and in the
United States, and for many years in tho
past exercised controlling influence in
the political affairs of their section.
The third-the .Sun-was new paper,
that commenced journalistic lilo under
auspices the most brilliant and encou-
raging. It had for ifs editor and pro.
prietor vigorous, graceful and popular
writer, statesman with national repu-
tation-the Hou. Alexander 81. Stephens.
In few months the circulation Of the
paper was enormous-some ething almost
unprecedented in the history Of the
Southern press But the eclipse coon
followed the elimination. Political
articles. no matter how we'll written, can
not make newspaper, and the Sun was
destined to furnish forcible illustration
OF the correctness Of this observation.

though they be from the pen of SO able
a publicist rs Mr.. Stephens. il city OF
the size of Atlanta cannot support three
daily papers. With al It's cucrsy aaii
vim, with all the enterprise and progress.
sivencss of its people, it is beyond its
power to sustain throe good daily papers.
II two prosper and do we'll, their pro.
pristors will have causo for congratula-
ton. 1t was menifestly impossible for
more than that number to succeed, and
the Sun was another victim to the pro-
cess OF over-crowling. The revolution
in journalism ut the South, to which we
have before alluded, is not yet complet-
ed; all the dead are not yet numbered
Papers are ccasing to be political ma
chimes. Journalism is becoming as
legitimate business rs that of the
dealers III drugs or dry goods, and re-.
quires, first, field, and then capital,
energy and industry to make it q success.
Without the employment OF these re-.
quisites, ali efforts will be futile, succcss
be an impossibiiity. Attempts may be
made to establish papers where the field
is fully occupied, but though they may
struggle along for while and eke out q
precarious existence, they must eventu-
ally succumb to the inevitable, and en-
tail loss upon those who make the dan
gerous experiment.

Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
a%ration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandrutf,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the h~air-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create a new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy APP
pearance. A. A. Hayes, Md, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and L
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"
