JOURNALISTIC NOTES.

Every week furnishes evidence of
improvements in Alabama newspapers.
In many cases the changes as to APP
pearance of papers and the matter fur
nished have been marvellous. 1t is a
good sign. for 1t tells of the improved
condition of those upon whom the pa
pers have to rely for support. The
people of this State have not always
appreciated their local papers as they
should and we are glad to note the inn
proyement in their action along this
line
The last issue of The Andaiusia News
comes to us with twelve pages, of good
matter and all home print. The News
IN commenting on this says:
IT proves many things. First and
chants are enterprising fellows--they
know. the value. of advertising. Sec
ond, 1t proves that Andalusia's news

the presses and the motive power re-
quisite to do these things promptly
and correctly.
BY the way the ali-home print pa
pers are increasing in numbers so fast,
that the patent inside and outside peo-
pie are bound to acknowledge a dimu-
milton of their business in Alabama It
will be good day for all the papers
when they can print all their matter
at home and thus control their space.
The Geneva Reaper is another Wire
grass paper, which has grown so rap

The New Decatur Advertiser has an
annual entertainment which is both
creditable and enjoyable. 1t is in the
shape of a reunion of correspondents
and all employees att the expense of the
management. The last one came of a
few days ago and about eighty-five
people sat down to the elegant dinner
which Mr.. Hildreth had prepared for
them.N Besides this they were given
many courtesies in the way of trolley
rides, visits to interesting places and
entrance to some entertainments that
were at the time in New Decatur. Mr.
Hildreth is to be congratulated upon
his action and the success which att
tends it.
The Athens Democrat last week made
the following excuse for lack of edi-
toriat and other reading matter and
we are quite sure his subscribers will
rejoice with him over the circum-
stances which made excuses necessary:
The Democrat surrenders it's edito-
rial columns and most of its local COL
umns to its advertisers this week. As

season for the newspaper we are sure
that our readers viii be willing to
overlook a failure to furnish the usual
