It is fact perhaps not generally
known that The Weekly Constitution
has the largest circulation of any
newspaper on the western hemisphere.
Only few months ago a large news
paper directory questioned the claim
of circulation made by The Constitu-
tion and put up a forfeit of 800 that
it could be disproved that it had more
than 100, 900 circulation. The Con-
stitution promptly accepted the offer
and submitted its books to the repre-
sentative of the firm. Mr. George 2.
Rowell, publisher of the newspaper
directory, acknowledged his error pub
licly and paid the forfeit.
The Constitution, while being a
democratic newspaper, is first and
above all things newspaper. 1t is a
twelve page, seven-column weekly,
making eighty-four columns each
week. 1t subscription price is 81 a
year, but if taken under the arrange
ment with this paper we can give
them both at the price above named.
The Constitution has special cor
respondent in every important city in
the United States and a representa-
tive in all of the leading centers Of
the world.
During the war with Spain, which
has just been brought to close, the
reports of no newspaper in the south
could compare with its news presenta-
tion from the front Its special staff
representative sailed with the army
when it first embarked from Tampa,
and of the 120 correspondents who
went TO Cuba, he was one of only sew
en- who remained to see the flag hoist
ed over the. public buildings in Santa
go. Its special representative also ac-
companied the fleet In the Caribbean
sea, and its Washington special SER
vice covered every detail Of the impor-
tant war reports originating at the
capitol.
The Weekly Constitution during
the late Spanish war served the news
Of all the notable events, from first to

death of Ensign Bagley, the move
ments of troops and fleets, the de-
struction of Cervera's fleet, the opera
tions in Porto Rico, the treaty, and
the unfurling of the stars and stripes
over MORO castle, Havana were all

on the very day the news first appear
ed in the daily.

Harris, Frank L. Stanton and Others
well known throughout the country;
while among its special contributors
are such men as Wallace p. Reed,
Bill Arp, Sarge Punkett, Betsy Ham
ilton, Dr. Talmage and others of

The Constitution will send Il sample
copy Of its great weekly free to any

names of six neighbors. on a postal

Every man should take his county
newspaper before anything else, and
next to this he should take good
general newspaper, such as The Con-
stitution His county paper gives
him the local home news, which is
not supplied by newspaper furnish
ing the general news from all parts Of
the country and from all over the
world. Before man seeks informa-
tion from outside, he should first feel
sure that he is being kept posted on
what is going on at home. e hi TIA
why he should take his county paper
first. When. however the opportun-
ity is offered to get the best weekly
newspaper in this country with your
home paper, the inducement is such
as toselicit prompt response from our
readers.
