Tr1-W/eekZy Journal Says
"Ho2vdy" as Seml-WeekU
/ Says "G00d-by" March g

1t is not given to many newspapers
to say Goodby'' and How Do You
Do?'' at the same time; but this is
| precisely what The SemiWeekly
Journal is privileged to do. That is,
The Semi Weekly says goodby ana
its successor, The TriWeekly, makes
its bow and says good-morning.
Beginning with the issue'of Tues
day, March 8, The Semi-Weekly
BECOMES The Tri-Weekly, the con-
version taking place naturally-if
your subscription is in force you
simply begin getting three papers a
week instead of two.
So this is a Swan Song for The
Semi-Weekly, that has been coming
into your home twice week for
years; a Swan Song in a way-they
say that swans sing before they die.
But not at all a Swan. Song in the
sense that The Seni-Weeky is pass
ing from out this bourne of time
and place" Certainly it is not dy-
ing; it is merely poisoning into
something that, as the old circus
posters used to say is bigger AMI
better than ever"
And also more numerous. Pub
li.hed three times a week, on Tues
! day, Thursday and Saturday, The
! Tri-Weekly Journal will be the same
size as its predecessor, and you will!
have in it the practical equivalent
! of a daily newspaper. A carefully
| edited paper received every other
| d4y will keep you fully abreast of
the times, and these modern times
are we'll worth keeping abreast OF.
| ( The political trend of today in
1 J1TIoo +
| is news today may be stale tomor-
| row-but you will get the latest in
| your Tri-Weekly Journal. Great
things are coming upon this old
| world; great and new things. The
| close of the war inaugurated a pc
rod of even vaster Importance to
mankind-and the next few years
doubtless will see events transcend
| ing in magnitude, so far as civiliza
ton is concerned even the great war
4 itself.
! We are in an era of news-and it
is with that understanding that The
| Tri-WeelSly Journal comes into ex-
istence.
/ Take as an example the approach
| ing Democratic convention. The Tri-
/ Weekly Journal will have it's own
representative from The Journal
| staff, in addition to the service OF
| the Associated Press-greatest of all
the news services Of the world-tke
United Press; David Lawrence, fore
most Of political writer's; Dorothy
Dix, who finds the human interest
touch in everything, from a baby
boy taking his first step alone tt
a big political convention.
g These things are handled by The
| Tri-WeelIly Journal from the view
/ point of southerners-treated by
home folks, for home folks, the way
home folks like to read of them.
| And this paper will be in your
home every other day-three times
a week instead of twice; as big as
Overland growing all the time.
f. Of course there's a hint of sad
| ness in the farewell of the faithful
| old Semi Weekly, that has been one
| of the family for so many years In
so many Dixie homes. But under
\ its new name, The Tri-Weekly in
tends and determines with all its
heart to be even more an intimate
and interesting member of the fire
side circle; a more frequent visitor,
! bringing from all the great world
outside the cream Of the news and
! The core of events.
So with the issue of Tuesday,
