BY H. CLAY SMITH

| Cullman. February 2.-(Special 1.-The
Birmingham Age-Herald, which has long
been the medium through which the Gull
man people have been informed on affairs
of the state and nation, morally, politi-
cally and socially, still continues to grow
in popularity with the people of this and
adjoining sections of the county.
| The management of this great metro
politan morning paper struck the keynote
when they fell upon the plan of getting
The Age-Herald to its north Alabama
readers in the early morning. Prior to
the installation of the new system of
| service for the northern part of the state
we were compelled to do without morn
ing paper until late in the day. sometimes
the paper would be delayed until late in
the afternoon. This has been dispensed
with by the new system. The Age-Her-
aid now reaches Cullman at CLOCK
in the morning and is ready for dis
tribution among its readers by daylight,
or as early as the agent can get UP and
get the paper delivered. BY this the
readers have the morning Age-Herald in
their homes when they sit down to the
breakfast table, and as they enjoy the
morning meal they also have the pleas
ure of the information given through the
columns of the paper in the way of news
from the state capitol, the capitol of
the nation and from foreign countries.
Popular In the Country
Not alone has the popularity of the
paper been increased among the resi-
dents of the town, but the country peo-
pie as well. All well informed men read
lily agree that from standpoint of news
that a morning daily has it over the
evening papers in several phases, from
the fact that almost all the occurrences
that carry with them any news. value
happen before IL o'clock at night and
even the farmers of this section are be-
coming to realize this feature in The Age
Herald and are subscribing for the paper
This, coupled with the fact that the pa
per reaches Cullman In plenty of time to
be worked up by the postal clerks in
time to be carried out on the rural routes,
reaching the home of any farmer in the
county almost before o'clock in the
morning, goes to make The Age-Herald
a paper much to be desired by the farm
er as well as the merchant, the doctor,
| lawyer or others engaged in businesses
and professions who are confined to the
cities.
This great daily has been coming to
Cullman many years, and ever since its
first appearance in the town has been a
strong factor in molding public opinion
here. Its broad, conservative way in pre-
senting matters relative to conditions
both in the state and nation from an ed
itorial standpoint has been all that could
be desired, and the people are not un-
mindful of this fact which. with its won
derful capacity as a news gatherer and
distributor, has served to make this great
paper criterion by which many people
decide for themselves questions of para
mount Importance to the state and the
nation, and vote intelligently on all ques-
lions brought up for the consideration of
the public.
For all this there is a reason. The Bir-
mngham Age-Herald is one among a
few daily papers coming to Cullman that
its management spares neither pains nor
means to give its readers their money s
WORTH employing as it does corps of
competent correspondents in every town
in Alabama.
All these things have and will serve
to increase the popularity of the paper,
and it is predicted that the time will not
be long when this great advocate of the
peoples rights will be a daily visitor into
the home of every Cullman county far
mer as we'll as coming to the city alone.
The people are loud in their praise of
this, the greatest daily published in Ala
bama.
