Fulton Daily Suspcnds.

The Fulton Daily News, a bright
little daily published in the east enc
metropolis, suspended publication
Friday, after an existence Of abou,
nine months.
Its management should be con-
graduated upon making as good
showing as they have under such ad-
verse conditions. Fulton is a one
paper town, and any practical news
paper man will vouchsafe this state
ment; but if further evidence is need
ed the suspension of the Evening Re-
cord and the Daily News should be
sufficient. The Leader, edited by
Guy Freeman, is now master of the
daily field in Fulton. and 1t will do
well to pay its stockholders per
cent on the investment. If we nave
been reliably informed, it hasn',
paid one per cent in the past five
years although deserving sheet.

burn the floor. A prompt response
