a Word About the Future OF the
Morning News"


The Increasing circulation and business Of
she MoRSIxG NEWS have male 1t necessary to
eIIsrge il, and TO provide improved facilities
Tor lis publication. It has always been the
policy Of the MORNISG NKws not only to keep
Atreast Of the section OF country, in which it
finds it, chief support, in growth aud devel-
Ipment but, II possible, to lead il.
This policy experience has proven TO be
wise. Every improvement that has been
made IN the BIoRSIsG NEWS has been sppre-
eiated. and this appreciation has been shown
m the way most crafty ng. Those who re-
member the MORNING NEWS when It first
made its appearance IS years ago can appre-
siate the changes that it has undergone, and
those who remember it az it was only very
few veara ago can bear testimony 10 the
rapi,iity with waich 1t has developed into
first class Newspaper. But great IS
the Improvements have been which
have placed it in the front rank OF the daily
Jour ais OF the country, il Is seen 70 have its
attractions so much increased that there will
he little. il anything, more 70 be desired in it
as q newspaper by the communities which
have % long and &C faithfully given it their
support and patronage.
Within two or three weeks it will be en-
Isrged 10 an eight-psge paper, having seven
so,umns to the page. The WEEKLY NEWS will
l'O enlarged to twelve pages. having seven
olumns 10 the page. Both the daily ard
feekly will be cutand pasted, snd viii, thcre-
are. be presented to the public in tie most ap-
Tov, d and convenient shape.
There are several things Shich make this
niarzement and improvement OF the MORN
ING news necessary. The demands upon its
s2aee have grown beyond its present 1pscity
although its capacity, at present, is almost S
great as that Of any journal 10 I'll
south. It's correspondence ard teIosrsph'c
news are all the time increasing. The desire
for the latest aud fullest information aboat
all matters Of importance. not only sc home
but abroad. has necossitated the establishment
81 special Geographic correspondcnce cover
irg not only an the important points in this
and The adjoining States, but also the prInei-
nal news centres OF the country. These
spccfa' reports. Of course, require snsce, and,
aadei 10 the very fun Associated Press re-
port- now received. msSe a greater demand
On the columns of the MORNISG NEWS than it
can afford at present to give them.
The special mail correspondence also and
ether matter necessary TO complete and
progressive journal have gradually increased
until the question Of room hiss become the
source Of daily 6iffculy. While the paper
has been growing its business has not of
course been at q standstili. Il has grown
with the paper, and at times the advertise
nents have been a eOurce Of. embarrassment.
Had II net been for the consideration and
Gorbcarance OF old patrons the news cepsrs-
mcnts would have had 10 suffer.
Naturally, a larger paper with all the mod
ern improvements requires the very best
publishing facilities. The management o. the
MORNING NEWS recognized this fact when the
enlargement Of tire paper wss decided upor,
and a. was determined that no expense should
be spared to secure as complete and perfect
press ~ money could purchase.
/ contract was made in November last with
thc celebrated printing press manufacturers
Of View York, r. Hoe & Co, for now web
perfeeting press. The contract required that

owing TO unexpected delays it viii hardly be
N position before The latter part Of the pres
emf month. The design Of it IS entirely
new, and l. the first ore Of the kind ever
sold TO the publisher Of newspaper in
the South. 1t was built expressly for the
HORNING NEWS 20 meet its daily and weekly
requ rements in its new and enlarged form,

rom Of the MORNING NEWS oIce. 1t
wiU handle not only the daily with its
81 COLUMNS and the weekly with its "a

supplements or extra sheets OF 2, and
pages. Il takes the white paper, prints, cuts.
pastes and folds il, and turns ont perfect
Newspaper, ready for the carrier Or the mail
ing slerk. It's capacity is Of course, matter OF
great importance, because, while the forms
mus. be held open for the very latest tele-
graphic news, 1t is necessary to get the paper
ready for the early mails. OF an S-pass
paper, it will print 10, 900 an hour; Of 4-psgs
paper, % 600 an hour, and Of 2pago paper,
a. ,OG0 an hour.
The MORNING NEWS, a. it viii appear when
enlarged and improved. will be doubtless
,otrce Of satisfaction TO Savannah. 1t is q
savannah Institution, and has been a reguisr
visitor TO Savannah homes Tor more than a
generation. II will be a source Of
satisfaction for another reason. 1t
VII he the largest newspaper in Georgia and
as large as any newspaper in the South.
There are few other cities, il sny, OF the size
Of Savannah that can bosst OF sHch paper
as the MoHNISe NEWS will he. Its patrons
In Georgia, Florida, South Caroiina ard
elsewhere viii no Doubt be gratifed at
The change. They will get a better news
paper. and al the same time viii feel'a Jet
pride ia the prosperity of an institution that
has always defended their rights and inter
ests.
OF course the MORNING NEWS will continue

a. she Democratic party. Perhaps much OF
lie prosperity Is due to its advocacy Of these
trtpciples. While some OF Georgia's jour
uals preserve discreet silence on the ques-
ton of tariff reform, or have become cham
mons OF the Republican principle OF protee-
tson. the NioaSTNG NEWS has stood stead
faslly with It's party on tee tariff. To this
tact perhaps and to its integrity it owes to
considerable extent It's position CT the Lead
