Georgia than the Macon Daily Telegraph u
Messenger. Under its new management
it has taken on a vim and sprightliness that
places it in the front rank of influential

as first class, newsy paper, one that is
credit to its town and State. See prospec-

to St Andrews cemetery, these honored re-
mains MANY mourners, many carriages,
a. ha har
of old family servants in the funeral train.
Many OF them had the day before, been to
the house of the relatives where the body
lay, to shed tear over one they had so
loved and reverenced /; and of all obituaries
that may be published, the honest tribute of
that old nurse written in tears running
down her shriveed lace was tender and
touching"
Occasionally one one Of our merchants
has his job printing done elsewhere than at
our office In every instance where we
have made comparison Of work and prices,
no advantage was gained in sending off to
other cities to have the work done. Aside
from the fact that we can do the work as
cheaply, promptly and as nicely as any body
there is sonic obligation to sustain paper
and office that is always working for the
benefit of the town.
we have Just received some new and
beautiful job type of the latest style for
Letter and Bill Heads, and would be glad TO
have the orders of those needing anything
in our line. We also have some splendid
stationery and ran give low figures on job
printing.

investing.
