FIVE DOLLARS PER ANNUM

THE IMPORTANCE OF PALATKA as A
trade distributing point and railway center,
and its magnificent location at the head Of
ocean navigation on the St. Johns, and in the
midst of a charming farming and fruit produ-
cling section, renders it a natural focal point
for the news of the Peninsular, and affords
the opportunity to make it what it is pre-
nounced by the press to be, a frst-class news
paper, both in its makeup and in the charac-
ter of its collated news.
POLITICALLY
THE NEWS is Democratic, and while it will be
courteous to all, it will stand steadfast in its
adherence to those principles Of that party,
the snccess of which.alone insures liberty and
good government.

THHl SUN
NEW YORK. 1884.

About sixty million copies of THE SUN have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umns of all THE sun printed aud sold last year
you would get continuous strip Of interesting
information, common sense wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough to reach
from Printing House square to the top of
Mount Copernicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then three-Quar-
tiers of the way back to the moon again.
But The SUN is written for the inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip Of intelligence
would girdle the globe twenty-seyen or
twenty eight times.
If every buyer of copy of THE SUN during
the past year has spent only one hour over it,
and if his wife his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in 1888 has af-
fOrded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular Of American newspapers, or of
its influence on the opinions and actions of
American men and women.
THE SUN is, and will continue to be, a news
paper which tells the truth without fear of
consequences, which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs which presents
the news all over the world without waste of
words and in the most readable shape, which
is working with all its heart for the cause Of
honest government, and which therefore be-
must go in this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
II you know The SUN, you like IL already,
and you will read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure to be the most
interesting year in its history. If you do not
know THE SUN, it is high time to get into the
sunshine.
Terms to Mail SubsOrib ers.
The several editions of tbs SUN are sent by
mail, postpaid, as follows:
DAILT-50 cents a month, So year; with

Fort Keogh CMont9 Letter in New York sun.
1t is an interesting fact that one
sixth of our herds are now owned
by Enghshmen. Every year the
English come over and buy cattle,
and if they keep on at the present
rate thy will soon own half the cat
tie on the plains. Why our large
capitalists should allow 50 valuable
property as native cattle to pass
into the hands of foreign holders Is
inexphcable, but they are doing so,
and the time will come when they
will bitterly regret it. 1t would be
a deplorable thing to have foreign
ers control our home beef market
and cattle exports, but they will do
so within the next ten years unless
our moneyed men wake up and put
a portion of their money into herds
