WEEKLY

since lne JOurildl Teuuceu III prlcN
from % to 10 cents a week, it has great
ly extended its circulation, reaching
large number of people hitherto unable
to afford the luxury of a first-class daily
paper. Reports from agents and sub
scribers indicate the result which waa
to be expected, namely, that what waa
first regarded as luxury has become
necessity, and that the new readers not
only remain, but their list is constantly
increasing.
1t is the purpose of the Journal I'd
make itself even more indispensable to
its patrons, new and old, and to still
further widen its field. To this end it
will not only endeavor to maintain the
characteristics which have established
its reputation as by far the best news
paper in Indiana, but will add such new
features and improvements from time To
progress and that may tend to the adj
vantage of its readers. 1t will, for exc
ample, give increased attention to State
and local interests What Indianians
want is paper in which Indiana affairs
are given especial prominence and i'm
portance. This want the Journal has al.
ways supplied as no other paper pub
oh o,.i nciHo h0 fa 10 a.
to do; but the rapidly developing indus
tries and business and social enterprises
of the community call for additional
consideration and space. With this In
view its corps of correspondents has
been increased until it has a representa-.
tive in nearly every town in the State
Special travelling correspondents will
visit the news centers of the State at
frequent intervals, thus insuring the
write up of every important event Oh
matter of general interest
Being published in the geographical
center of Indiana the Journal is afforded
unusual facilities for securing news
promptly, and, what is Of greater con-
sequence, is able to reach its subscribers
without delay. The running of morning
trains from Indianapolis is very favor
able to the early distribution of papers
sent by mail or express, and in most
towns within radius Of a hundred
mnes Journals are delivered as early as
in the city where they are printed. In
the more remote counties there is but
little loss Of time in transportation.
The Journal is the paper for Indi-
anians and particularly for Indiana Re-
publicans Although the campaign Is
ended, the coming session of Congress
and subsequent change of administra-
ton involve political problems and pro-
ceedings likely to be of the most direct
personal concern to every farmer and
business man in the State. All such
matters will be set forth in detail, the
Journals Washington correspondent be-
ing instructed to give especial attention
to everything having a possible bearing
on Indiana interests.
But though the Journal is Republican
in politics it is non-partisan in the pub
LEGATION of news. Its constant endeavor
is to secure facts unbiased by prejudice
and to make it's columns trustworthy
l., e oh,
large editorial force supplements the
work of the press associations and the
correspondents, and furnishes careful
supervision for each department.
The Sunday Journal has a well-estab-
lished literary character, superior 10
that of any Western paper. 1t is not
defaced by plate matter" nor filled
with heterogeneous mass of syndicate
literature, but its contributions and mis-
cellany are chosen with a view to their
special fitness and adaptability to the
tastes Of the readers The reading mat
ter in any given number of the Sunday
Journal is equal in quantity and is not
inferior in quality to that found in the
leading magazines AS an educational
adjunct and a source of entertainment
the Sunday Journal is indispensable in
every well-regulated family.
The Weekly Journal, at 81 per year,
contains more reading matter than can
be obtained for the money in any other
shape. 1t is carefully edited and offers
the news of the week in condensed
shape and variety of miscellany,
agricultural and household literature
that render it one of the best invest
ments that any family can make. Try
it and see. 1t has large circulation in
this and other States and agents find IL
