Sugg, City, : Dear Mr. Sugg: I am in receipt of your note tendering your resignation in order that you may make the race for Public Safety Commissioner for the City of Asheville. Of course I admire your aspiration, but I will say frankly, that while I will have to yield, I dislike v.ery much to lose your services just now. You have been associated with me for over two years, and I can honestly say that I have never known a man more capable in a business way, or more honorable, than you have been while in my service. Not living in Asheville myself, and having no vote here, of course I can not be of very much aid to you. I regret your severing your business connec tion with me, but will console myself with the knowledge that if you are elected to the position which you aspire you will be able to do more for the public good. I am sure that you would make a good man for the place, and shall recommend you highly to my friends in Asheville. Yours very truly, v . CHAS R. MOORE.

If there be any one feature which characterizes the circulation of The Gazette-News more than another, it is the fact that its circulation is to a very large extent strictly of the home-going brand circula tion which goes into the homes in the afternoon for evening reading. Advertisers have learned through investigation of the matter that The Qazette-Newa is an ever-popular visitor into thousands of homos in and about Asheville; that in the every-day life of the great army of people buying The Ga zette News, it wields an enormous influence, not only in re gard to its news and editorial services, but as regards the publicity it prints as welL Going further, discerning advertisers also realize that The Gazette-News occupies a distinctive field absolutely U own, and that it reaches evenings a tremendous array of renders who road no other newspapers.
