 Age-Herald.

 properly appreciated by the people of
 Birmingham is evidenced by the follow
 ing persons who are now in position 1 to know a good thing when they see it. 1 The Age-Herald is the peoples paper.
 It has news, opinions and features the l people wish to read. It's circulation is l increasing every day. It will continue 1 to increase. It is today the best news
 paper printed in Alabama and it won't
 be long until it will be one of the best
 south of the Potomac and Ohio rivers. People pay for and read daily papers | for the news. Two lines of news is
 worth two columns of views, and that is
 why The Age-Herald prints pages of
 news and but few columns of views. The Age-Herald has opinons that it is not ashamed of. It speaks the sen-
 tinlents of the people because it is the
 friend of the people.
 It treats all alike. It prints the news at all times. It despises shams, and is
 the enemy of fraud. It believes in good
 government and is the foe of thieves
 and pretenders.
 It is not professional reformer but
 it believes in much needed reforms First
 last and all the time 1t is the best and
 most popular paper in the state, and
 that is because it is an honest news
 paper.

 Maclin SlossHThe Age-Heragd has i'm
 provlsd greatly. A mistake that the
 papers have heretofore been making
 was in giving so much space to politics
 at the expense of the news department. o.,f4 | ten that the elections of 1896 are over with and that another will not occur for | nearly twelve months. People want to
