The Forward Edition" is design
ed as an educational number, educa-
tional not only for the thousands and
tens of thousands of people away from
here who will read it, but for the
people at home
Many of the people of Americus,
of Sdlnter county and sister counties
do not themselves know what a fine
city this IS, what remarkable coun-
try surrounds it.
Many Of them are not able to tell
others intelligently of the agricul-
ture, the business, the finances, the
industries of city and country.
The Forward Edition" will put
them in possession of information thar
will be of great value to them. 1t
will enable them, if they will read
and digest it, to talk intelligently and
intimately about these things, to be-
come advertising agents themselves
for Americus, and Sumter and its sis
ter counties, forming the great
Ame"icus territory.
rne purpose of the Forward Ei{-
ton" is to place these things before
the great world that lies outside If
this territory, but it is of no small i'm
portance that the people right here az
home should also be made aware Of
them.
To that end it has been decided that
of the issue of Sunday morning, in
cluding the regular eight-page daily
and the forty-eight page special sec
ton, a copy shall be placed in every
house in the city of Americus, re-
gardless as to whether any one in the
house is a subscriber or not.
1t is vitality important that the
home folks should be posted as to the
advantages and opportunities this
city and section offer. They leave
home. at times, and travel. They
meet strangers. They should know
in order to be able to impart informa-
ton. Then, too, strangers meet them
while passing through the city. BY
being posted themselves they will be
able to impart information that may
be the means of inducing others 10
settle here or to make investments in
this section.

campaign for which this Forward
Edition" is published this is
sue will enable citizens to fur

tances elsewhere complete and cor
