Daily News
----------------

This is an English language daily founded by Sri Ramaiya. He was the editor of Daily News from the beginning to the end of its publication. He also used to write a column called over a puff of smoke. It was around for about 10 years but never reached the readership that Tainadu had. The English language newspapers published from Madras were probably more popular. The issue shown below is from a day in 1949.
