Our Tri-Weekly Journal. with 1875 issues
for 100 cents. is the biggest bargain you
can find in the publishing world for 1t con-
tains the cream OF all the news that is
published in the daily and Sunday Atlanta
Journal, for which nearly 100000 people
pay $3.50 year and then don't pay
enough to cover the expense OF production.
1t takes all the money paid by subscribers
and over half the money paid by adver-
Users to meet the expense of getting The
Atlanta Journal to it's readers.
Now the best OF all the news that is OBJ
tanned by the daily Atlanta Journal from
It's three great press associations, It's large
staff of reporters, it's special correspondents
in nearly every town in the South. at Wash
ngton, New York and in all the capitals of
Europe-the cream Of this news say, is
skinned by the editors of the trweekly
edition who believe they know what of it
is OF most interest and most value to the
subscribers for the tri-weekly edition.
This news is carefully edited and con-
densed--to enable Ills to print the greatest
amount in the space at our command and to
enable you to get the important facts and
to avoid wasting your time trivial de-
tails To it we add news from our special
South Carolina, Florida and other Southern
States.
We try to give you editorial page In
which are discussed intelligently important
questions we think we know something
about. Further, we give you the views Of

Crane, DIR. Bruce on questions OF the day.

Irwin Cobb Abe Martin, Mutt and jeff and
Hambone as fun-makers.
On our household page we have a special
department for the children, and IL Aunt
Julia isn't doing more>to entertain and in
spire the children of the South than any
Then there is Mrs Thomas with her ar
ticles of special interest to farm house
wives, Dorothy Dix who casts beam OF
purifying sunlight on every question she
eliminates, DR.. Marion Hulls incompatible
discussion Of the Sunday school lessons, and
as space permits other features of general
appeal to the whole family.
Ours is not primarily a story paper, but
we believe in good fiction. In good fiction
there is great deal of truth, great deal
of philosophy and a great deal of entertain
ment. We select our stories with special
care. We want them to have a good in
fluence and to be interesting.
The sort we have been publishing may not
be classics. They may be lacking in artis-
tic and literary finish but they surely do
accomplish two things: preach the morality
OF honesty and unselfishness, and entertain
their readers.
Some few of our good friends have crti-
cized them. We understand the viewpoint
of these critics and we sincerely appreciate
their interest, but we know that ninety
per cent of our readers are being helped
and entertained by Miss Bachelors and
Miss Beecher's novels.

A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY
BY pureness, by knowledge, by longsnf-

by the power of God, by the armour of
righteousness, on the right hand and on
the left, by honour and dishonour, by evil
report and good report; as unknown and
yet well known; as dying, and, behold, ne

rowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet
making many rich; as having nothing, yet
possessing all things.-Second Corinthians

Just Among Ourselves

wv immensely pleasing, for 1t supporte,
in plain words theory that we hav,
held for some years. We print it just as
received, except we do not care to appear
to criticize another paper, and so cut out
the name:
Editor Triweekly Journal: ] am well
pleased with The Journal. I have been
taking another tri-weekly paper for a
number of years, and its editor was con-
tinually writing on the farming question,
although it was apparent that he did not
know as much about farming as two
weeks-old pig
He did the farmer more harm than
good. There was no truth in his articles
on the farm question for he didn't know
anything about it.
II see you don't do any farming through
your paper. I hope you will continue to
stay off the farming question unless you can
ihandle it in sensible way.
II consider a newspaper to be NEWS
PAPER, not an agricultural journal.
II would like to hear from Mrs. FELTON,
oftener. Her writings are good Dorothy
Dixs articles very good.
II get twice as much news from The
Journal as could ever find In the other
paper. w. II. sTEADMAN"
Our theory has been that our subscribers
wanted news and features appropriate TO a
newspaper, and that they didn't care for
our views on. matters that We know nothing
about.
We have never seen an editor who had
got rich or had even made living by
farming. When we find such person we
will have respect for his opinions about
farming. Until then we will have reason
TO assume that he knows nothing about it.
Editors who would not have the nerve
carpenters how TO build houses, seem to
feel that they are fully qualified to ex-
have given their lives to learning their bust
ness. They don't realize how silly that is,
Our plan for making The Tri-Weekly
Journal is sound and sensible, and IL we
do not succeed the fault is with our man
ner OF work rather than with our principles.
We want 1t to be primarily and finally a
NEWS paper for farmers and other busy
psoplc who either cannot afford the price
or have not the time to- read the bulky city
papers which properly enough devote a
largs part of their space to advertisements
and to news that is OF little interest except
to dwellers in the city OF publication.
Our paper sells for s1.oo year. and We
publish 1856 issues. being leap year, you

FOUR CITIES
FIGHTING FOR
DEM. MEETING
San Francisco Expected tt
Lose Out For 1924 Con- .
ventiOn of Democrats

Washington, Jan. 15.-The lucky
number still was a mystery today
as the Democratic national com
mittee met to select the city for the
party's 1924 convention. -
In the four cornered race be-
tween Chicago. New York, San
Francisco and st. Louis, supporters
of each were confident. Choice OF
the convention city and selection
of the date were to come in the
closed session this afternoon.
San Francisco's cashl offer OF
$500, 900 remained the Largest of!
fetal inducement before the COM
mittee but, it's receipt of'the Dem
ocratic convention four years ago
and its distance for delegates We're
adverse factors.
st. Louis and Chicago were said
to be neck and neck, particularly
in event of failure of New York to
muster sufficient votes. Chicago
had $125,OO0 to offer and st. Louis
with details undisclOsed was de-
scribed as ready to equal any COM
petitor's bid. New YOrk's invita-
ton was accompanied by a cash
offer of at least 100000.
In addition to the selection OF
the convention city the national
committee today had before 1t the
question of meeting a deficit OF
about $50, 900 and electing a secre-
tary to succeed Ed Huffmann OF
Indiana, resigned.

SON OF CONFESSED MURDERER
BEING HELD; POLICE DECLARE
W. ]. LINCOLN HAD AN ACC0MPLlCE
His Frailty Would Not Make
1t Possible For Him to
Have Done as He Said,
They Assert Change Is
Made in Confession Story

Aurora, Ill =, Jan. 15.-(By the
A. P.)-The first bit Of evidence
tending to support the confession of
WI. J. Lincoln. lawyer and horticul-
turist, that he killed his wife and
cremated her body together with that
of her brother, Byron Shoup, was
in the hands Of police today. 1t was
a gold watch taken from the Fox
river here last summer by two school
boys swimming near the Main street
bridge from which Lincoln said, in
his confession, he threy Shoup's
watch after burning his body.
Aurora, ILL.,, Jan. 15.-(By the
A. P)-John Lincoln, 2O-year-old
son of Warren J. Lincoln, lawyer
and horticulturist, who confessed to
killing his wife and cremating her
body with that Of her brother, Byron
Shoup, a year ago, is being held for
questioning.
Kane county authorities who are
preparing to charge the elder Lincoln
with double murder have adXanced
the theory that he had an accom-
plice. In his confession Lincoln
said he killed his wife after she had
slain her brother.
The son, taxicab driver, told au-
thorities he had spent four days in
January, 1923, with his father and
slept in the greenhouse where the
former says he burned the bodies in
the furnace, The son said he did not
see the bodies or witness any crema-
tion.e He said he believed his father
insane and his confession impossible
and worthless.
Basis for the theory that Lincoln
had an accomplice was founded by
John Wirz, detective chief, on his
slight physical build and poor health
while Mrs. Lincoln weighed more
than 200 pounds. Lincoln said he
carried the body wrapped in news
papers to the furnace.
One detail Of his confession as
originally made was changed by Lin
coin yesterday, the authorities said.
First he told them he had hacked
the body to pieces and removed them
in pieces at intervals to the furnace,
but his latest story, he said, told OF
using a wheelbarrow to- carry the
body to the fire.
The Kane county grand jury which
convenes Feb. A will bear evidence
against Lincoln, States Attorney
Charles Abbott Of Elgin said. Mean
while officials are making an effort
to discover among the ashes Of the
green houses furnace or buried some
where on or, near the farm some
fragments Of the bodies or bones
necessary. to prove the legal corpus
delicti. Lincoln declared the ashes
were scattered as fertilizer about
the farm.
