A Complete News Service and Most
Desirable Circulation.

Among the requirements to a successful
newspaper, there are two which stand pre-
eminent: First, its facility for securing
information; second, the scope of its oppor-
tunity for imparting it TO others In both
particulars The Times meets the demands
of its section.
Since the reorganization of the paper its
news service has steadily improved. 1t
gives every morning a comprehensive
statement of all the leading events of in
terest in the outside world-the Geographic
service of no other paper in Georgia, south
of Savannah, can compare with that of
The Times. If you read The Times at your
breakfast table you can go forth into the
busy life of the day serene in the con-
seriousness that none of the important
o occurrences, state, national or international,
have slipped by you unknown. This is the
real aim and intent of a public journals
news giving. and such The Times fufids.
Locally, the fidelity and energy of The
Times gatherers of information is admit
tedly superior to any yet enjoyed by a
Brunswick paper a list of its local
scoops" would prove interesting, were suf-
liclent space allowable. In addition to
the regular run of city news, che paper
has Il special arrangement for securing
the most accurate and comprehensive ship
ping Information, and obtains all the in
terestng details of life at the neighbor.ng
resorts from trained correspondents.
If you take ii map of G orgia and draw
line across the state directly east and
west along the 32d parallel of latitude,
which runs just below Savannah. you will
find marked off to the south of such a
line wonderfully rich and productive
extent of country, equal in area to one
third of the entire state. In all this r
rtory The Times enjoys the largest c.rcu-
lation and is distributed more thoroughly
through it than any o,her newspaper pub
lished therein. Such an audience should
attract the most careful advertisers. 1t
cannot as Il whole, be reached effectually
the value of The Times columns.
AS the official organ Of both The city of
Brunswick and county of Glynn, The Times
possesses special qualifications as an ad-
vertising. medium. 1t reaches the buyers
ma the sellors-thc people whose attention
the advertiser wishes to catch. The test
nonals of those who have tried them fix
