THE GALVESTON NEWS commences the
wear 1883 by offering its Double Sheet Week
" at the reduced price of Sl.Se per an
mum This edition will be made up and care
fully edited, with a view to supplying in the
fullest measure and most convenient and ac-
Peptable form the newspaper wants of eoun-
try readers, farmers, husbandmen, ranch
men and others, who by circumstances of
residence and occupation are deprived OF
regular access to any daily paper. In such a
publication subscribers will have one Of the
largest and cheapest weeklies in America,
and one withal replete with intelligence es-
pecially interesting, and. in sense absolutely
indispensable, to the classes for whom 1t is
more particularly intended
As for THE DAILY NEWS, as daily visitor
and silent though tireess converser, it can
speak for itself. 1t is deemed needless to
couple the entrance of snch journal upon
another year with promises and assurances.
As was said when it entered upon the pre-
ceding year, its record In the past may be
pointed 10 as furnishing the most authentic
and most telling prospectus for the future.
The motto of the Galveston News, Daily
and Weekly, will be hereafter, as heretofore,
q Exeelsior.n For the rest, the occasion will
Justify the repetition of these remarks in a
previous annual advertisement: ''Such a
journal as che Galveston News may be re-
garded as one OF the neeessaties Of our con-
femporaneous civilization. 1t is in the ma
ture of kind of ubiquitous university for the
people. while their local papers afford them
the more special local information, No in
telligent and substantial citizen should con
slider his household or his place Of business
