Good Advice for Southern Cities.

Southern towns and cities will find
the following, from the Chicago Trib
une, worthy of thoughtful attention:
ITO look at the growth of Chicago
and some of the other Western cities
for that matter, makes one grow phil
osophical and speculate on the rea-
son" said George S. Coulter, of Hart
ford. Ibid it ever occur to you that
in the places having the fewest nat
ural advantages for city the largest
cities were apt to be built? Every ar
gument of reason, for instance,
would have pointed toward Milwau-
kee as the site for the grandest city on
the lakes, for there were all
the natural advantages for a great
city, yet Chicago planted herself here
in the mud, and the energy which it
took to lift her up onto a dry footing
was also enough, when it got going, to
boost her so high that natural advan-
tages counted for absolutely nothing,
1t is much the same at Kansas city.
Omaha and Duluth-cities which had
to carve themselves standing room out
of clay and rock, while hundreds of per-
fectly natural sites, with all the advan-
ldSSo VI lOCdGlOu UlidG tuOS0 CLUES
have, are still being sown with corn
and wheat.
There is no reason in all that. The
city which started with all the argu-
ments of nature against it had to i'm
mediately commence spending money
for public improvements. Now the
cities have grown, not because the
natural advantageswere against them,
rather in spite of that fact, but they
have grown because there have been
large expenditures for public
improvements. The money paid for
public improvements has stayed in
the town-it has brought laborers
who worked and spent at home
every dollar they earned. Be
cause of that other people and other
businesses were attracted. Wherever
there has been a town that has early
spent much money forpublic improve
meuts, you can find a.; town that is
prosperous today. Yon never find
grass growing in paved streets.
Roanoke daily times. (Roanoke, Va) 1886-1890, 1890-03-01
Chicago has done wonders in th

Chicago has done wonders in the
way of public improvements, and her
growth has been phenomenal. What
she has done is nothing, suppose,
compared with what she now pro-
poses to do in the drainage matter
If my theory is correct, this
latest undertaking meaus her un-
exampled progress in the past is to
be outdone in the future. l think
that supposition is reasonable. If an
extra $4,000, 600 or 50, 600, 600 year is
to be distributed among the laborers,
it is great factor in the city's pros
perity. Yes, sir, if q young town
wants to grow,I believe the best thing
for it to do is to put money in public
improvements without stint"

which has been put forth in accordance
with the resolution of the Association OF
General Newspaper Advertising Agents.
They now advise their advertising pa
irons that it will always be well to confne
advertisement orders to papers selected
from the Catalogue of Preferred Papers
here referred to, unless the advertiser has
some conclusive reasons Of his own for using
others.
The population of every place where a
newspaper is published is stated in the
Catalogue; county seats are designated, and
the circulation rating accorded to every pa
per by the last issue of the American News
paper Directory is given. Out ofthe seven
teen thousand papers named in the Direc-
tory, only about two thousand are selected;
of these only forty-two are issued in the
state of Wisconsin, and among these it is,
perhaps not necessary to add, the TELE-
GRAPH COURIER is given the prominence to
which its merits entitle it.

The Best Newspapers.

Geo. P. RoweIl & Co., proprietors of the
American Newspaper Advertising Bureau,
No. 10 Spruce street, New York, have is
sued pamphlet containing choice selec-
ton of newspapers for an advertiser to use,
who prefers to confne his advertising in
vestments to such as are likely to pay him
best
This catalogue names all the greatest and
all the best newspapers. The selection
made includes every religious, agricultural'
or other class weekly, having regular is
sue of so many as ten thousand copies all
the great monthlies, the leading dailies in
all the largest cities, and aims to name the
best paper in every county seat having a
population of so much as three thousand,
and every other town, village or city having
so much as five thousand population, pro-
vided paper is printed which issues as
many as thousand copies week
| The number of American newspapers is
now so large that the great advertising
agencies do not find it wise to attempt to
specially represent them all, and at the last
meeting of the Association of General
Newspaper Advertising Agents it was re-
solved that each member should prepare a
list which while enumerating the best pa
pers, should name only about one in ten of
all which are published.
1t has been demonstrated that fully one
half of all the output of American news
papers emanate from less than seven hun
dred offices, and that list Of more than
ten thousand newspapers can be made u p
among which no single one prints regularly
so many as a thousand copies.
