The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1898-09-21

The first number of the DAILY JOURNAL.
nesday morning, October 8.
The DAILY JOURNAL has been, hitherto,
issued as an evening paper. During the ap-
preaching session of the Legislature it will be
published in the morning. The reason for the
change is this: 1t is impossible to get into an
evening paper the later afternoon proceedings
Of the Legislature, or reports of committee
meetings, or hearings before committees, which
are generally held late in the afternoon, or, for
the most part, in the evening. Meetings of
societies and all social events and entertain
ments, occur in the evening. All these things
are usually the most important and interesting
of the days doings. The morning paper will
publish them while they are fresh-the even
ing paper after they are some twenty-four
hours old and have become an old story. By
the change, the Morning Journal will present
to its readers ALL the proceedings of the day
and evening complete, in one edition, while
they are fresh and interesting.
The DAILY JOURNAL has been published for
some fifty years. Its successive publishers
have made business of gathering and publish
ing Legislative news, and acquired a large ex-
perience in the work. 1t is the best and fore
most Legislative Journal, having always the
fullest reports of everything connected with
the General Assembly
The DAILY JOURNAL will be, also complete
general newspaper, giving the local, State, ma
tional and foreign news.
LEGISLATIVE NOTES. A conspicuous
and attractive feature of the DAILY JOURNAL
is its Legislative Notes" These cover the
personal and other matters of lighter vein
than those of the Official Report They en-
brace wide range of subjects, and take note
of the humors as well as the sober side of law
making and its incidental experiences. This
department will be conducted by Mr.. John E.
Harris of Burlington, who knows Vermont
and its public men thoroughly, and whose Pc
culiar fitness for this work will be instantly re-
cognized. Legislative Notes. will be a lead
ing, and an exceeding lively, feature of the
DAILY JOURNAL.
The local reporting will be done by Mr.. II.
E. White, an experienced newspaper man,
who is familiar with the local field.
