THE UNION.
DAILY AND WEEKLY--AN-
NOUNCEMENT FOR 1886.
The Daily Union.

THE Union, though less than a year old,
has met with a degree of success and gain
ed friends far in excess of its expectations
when the venture was .i%naugurated. Those
who have been thus kind in their patro-
mage are entitled to The UntOa'S profound
gratitude, which it is unnecessary to as
sure them is fully accorded. Feeling that
the time has arrived when the public de
mands require the issuance of a larger
paper, Tie Union has decided to increase
TO eight pages, the first issue making its
appearance Jan. /, 1886. 1t has been in
duced to take this step on account of the
limited space left by a generous advertis.
ing public for the publication Of the
news. Its newsgathering facilities have
been enlarged and extended, and in quail
ity and quantity its original articles will
be improved. No portion of the ever
widening field OF news will be neglected.
The political intelligence from Washing
ton as well as the social gossip at the cap
ital will be full and complete. A thorough
system of State correspondence has been
organized, reaching out into every nook
and corner for the latest and freshest cur
rent events.
The local force has been enlarged, and
in this department it will be the aim of
THE Union to chronicle a" the events of
the day in Nashville in an interesting
manner. Indeed, the effort will be to
make it the best local paper ever publish
ed in the city.
The financial and commercial columns
Of TIE UUion will be kept up to the high
standard that bankers and merchants
throughout its territory have conceded to
them. Unbiased reports will be given in
this important department of the paper
at all times.
Politically, The Union will undergo no
change in its views. 1t will continue to
support Mr., Cleveland's administration
so long as it continues to administer the
government on true Democratic princi-
pies. Its utterances at all times will be,
as heretofore, independent of cliques and
rings.

WEEKLY.

The Weekly Union, which is the best
paper Of its class ever published in Ten.
nessee, is a complete and reliable com
pendulum of the home and foreign news
Of the week. Special attention is paid to
its features of late and accurate market
reports and an industrial and agricultural
department carefully prepared for each
issue, and printed and mailed the day on
which it is dated. The Weekly Union is
in these respects equal to any of the agri-
cultural papers, and the farmer and coun-
try readers will find that it gives more
variety and better news than can any of
the one-idea or one-department papers.
The price Of The Weekly Union is 81 a
year, and no where else can those who
are not conveniently situated as to a daily
receive as much valuable information for
that amount.
Sample copies can be obtained by ap-
plication personally or by letter.
In view of the fact that The Union has
doubled its capacity for furnishing its
readers with news matter it finds it neces
sary to return to its original scale of prices.
