received many requests from veopIe lig
ing esst Of this city for an edition OF the
paper which would leave Augusta on the
morning Pullman and thus furnish the
people Of that section with an early
morning paper. Prominent citizens Of
that section have repeatedly urged thi-
move upon the Publishers Of the Journal
boeh personally and by letter. They
have assured them Of very generally
felt desire for such an edition OF the
Journal. Uo TO the present time, how
ever, tbe journal Publishers have not seen
their way clear to such move. 1t In
volved first OF all the purchase OF rapid
perfecting press In order that the forms
might be left open till nearly twoo'clock
10 the morning thus insuring the assoeiat-

the thorough organization Of the great
eastern news field, a. well as for quite a
material increase In the working force OF
the Office.
The matter has been considered many
times by the Journal publishers but I'M
Ill recently they have never seen then
way clear to undertake this gigantic
task. THIS present spring. however,
they concluded that the time was ripe
for action. A careful preliminary can

made. This Is now nearly completed
and the cordial support assured by 1t

one ever set up In Maine Is already on
the way and will be set up in the
Journal press room within the next
few days. Every effort will be made
to make this edition distinctively an
eastern daily paper fully alive
to all the interests Of the section
for which it Ia designed aud to
which alone Ii will belong. Cordial as
has been the encouragement already
rendered us, We confidently feel that this
edition Of the journal ia one which Is
destined To grow vastly and rapidly in
popularity. and to speedily become one
