The Daily News Enlarged for Saturday
Readers.
From the Saturday Evening News.
1t is the custom In many cities TO have
Sunday papers. Where these are not
practical the Saturday afternoon papers
supply the want as far as lies in their
power by the issue of supplements or
larger sheets than on any other day of
the week. To comply with the increased
demand upon our advertising columns
by our enterprising business men, and
to give our subscribers an extra good
paper on Saturdays THE News to-day
appears enlarged by the addition of four
columns. 1t will keep up this custom
as long as there seems to be a demand
for it.
Our readers have noticed with ex-
pressione OF satisfaction the excellence
of our increased telegraph report. 1t
now occupies three to three and a half
columns of our paper, and contains the
gist Of the days kilograms. 1t is just
about as good and complete now as the
morning report, and is furnished
twelve hours ahead ofthat given by the
morning PAPERS. On account of the
lack of telegraph facilities at this town
this report continues coming to such q
late hour that it often delays our issue
until quito late, but our subscribers are
enabled at their supper tables and around
their fresides to read the news from al
parts of the world. The telegraph com.
pany is doing the very best it can for US
In the matter of local news we have Nc
competition. An evening paper
is lust the thing for towns
the size OF Emporia, where morning
paper can only give what is called the
"pony" report, which is only about one
third of the real morning telegraphiC
report. In addition to our own report
we give the cream of the morning re
port, taken from the papers of Topeka
and Kansas City, the latter of which ar
rive here now at 200 p. m.
We are gratitied at the success of THE
News and the favor with which il is
received by the good people of Empo
ria. We have worked hard to make il
worthy of their support. THE News
is an independent paper, and is under
obligations to none but Its patrons for
Its existence. 1t is not owned to
the amount of farthing by any
railroad or telegraph company, and has
no corporation to pay its bills or buy il
telegraph franchise. 1t has no fund
put up to insure it against loss. 1t de.
ponds solely upon its patrons for its ex-
istence, and always has.
Our bona fds DAILY circulation in the
city alone now is about six hundred,
and we believe this is double that OF
any other paper in Emporia. II is com.
puted that each paper is read by at least
three persons, and advertisers will make
note of the fact that we talk 10 an au
dience of twenty-five hundred people
every evening. THE DAILY NEWS is by
all odds the best advertising medium
in this section of Kansas. Its
circulation is constantly on the
increase because Il is delivered
at so low a price and contains so much
news that no family can afford to dc
without it. Our list has steadily in
creased since last spring and new names
are being added every day.
Our enlarged Saturday paper will nc
doubt meet with the public favor, and
will become the advertising medium
for our business men.
