 The Christmas edition Of The Adver- tissr will be circulated as no other newspaper has ever been circulated be- fore. The Christmas edition will. moreover. deserve c wider circulation than has ever been given an Alabama newspaper.
 One of the greatest compliments that a newspaper can receive has been paid
 The Advertiser by several of the
 schools and coilges Of the State These
 schools ana colleges have written far in advance Of the Issue of the paper ordering copies to be distributed among
 their students. Tn various portions of Alabama there are schools. the teachers of which. will give to each student a copy of the remarkable paper which Tho Advertiser will issue on December f6. So far as is known this is the only occasion on which the colleges and
 schools have gone out of their way. to
 so complainant a paper.
 The purpose of this innovation. how ever. Is not the complimenting of The Advertiser--it Is designed for the bgn- eft of the students. The teachers rec ognize the fact that The Christmas Add vertiser will be the best literary repre- senation of the natural resources and riches of Alabama that has ever been given. They appreciate the fact that The Advertiser will be tho best means
 of teaching current history as well as the best means of intoxicating a sense of appreciation of the rare way in which aEra0uitursl and mineral riches
 have been conferred upon the State. Not only the school child or the cole lege boy fails in q due appreciation Of how richly his state has been blessed. but the business and professional men who may have been born An Alabamian and who has spent his whole life in the State knows only In general way of these resources. The average Alaham- ian knows that hts State is good cet- ton pFoducing State. >Tfe knows that a good deal ef iron and coal is dug up out of the northern part. He knows that some new industries have sprung up but that money is being made In new ways and that Alabama is gener- ally prosperous, but anything like a definite understanding of the industrial condition of the State is lacking.
 Now, in The Advertiser of December 1s industrial and commercial and agri- cultural Alabama will be set down siee by side. The man who is interested in his Stats. the boy whose teacher is anxious that he shati learn something of his State. can find side by side in Thn Advertiser compact, complete and full accounts III n kGuGIAi way QL CUGADU growing, athe sudden growth to import

 He can find in that paper excellent ar tlcles on the three Alabama cities of
 importance. Birmingham. Mobile and
 Montgomery. He can find. too. an ex- cellent article on that seaport city
 which Is an Alabama city except in
 geography. the city of Pensacola.
 Now. the industrial department of this paper. which is quite different from
 the industrial feature of any other pa- per ever issued. IS simply one feature of half dozen In the great paper. It is only emphasized here because It's De- culiar advantages have been recognised by educators of the State who have manifested their wish to have q copy
 of the paper put in the hand of each of their students
 There is another unique feature to tho circulation of this paper to which some attention should be paid. Already
 the circulation department has received orders from great many people ifv- l ing in Alabama to have copies of the edition sent to relatives living In other States. These orders continue to come
 every day. fn recent years especially there are a large number of people who
 have moved into Alabama from other
 States to join their lots with the na-
 tive Alabamians. The kin people they left back at home have a very hazy
 idea aiaout the State. The adopted
 Albamians are therefore taking this chance of showing just what Alabama
 is in history and in natural riches.
 It has been decided that the minimum
 number of copies of this paper to be printed shall be s0.000. The demand for this great number is already in
 eight The larger number of this great edition will be kept and read in the
 family during the long winter nights. The advertising opportunities of such
 an edition are obvious. The merchant who takes advantage of 1t Is assured
