We desire to call your attention to the excel
lent facilities now offered our business men Ior
advertising their wares before the country peo-
pie, through the columns of the ~
WEEKLY DAY BOOK,
The first number of which paper we desire to
issue on Wednesday, the 21st inst. t,l
The WEEKLY DAY BOOK, before the breaking
out of the war, had very large circulation all
through the sections of country which traded in
Norfolk; and it was this paper to which such
| fattering reference has been made in our Board
! of Trade, as having been instrumental in doing
such great good to the cotton interests of this
city The facts in regard to the Cotton statistics
of this city were sent abroad through the columns
of the WEEKLY DAY Book to the farmers in all
that section of country from whence cotton is OBJ
tanned for our market
We now propose to reissue the WEEKLY DAY
Book, and having all the same subscribers names
on our mail book, with 4..any in addition, we shall
mail them the paper at once, so to bring the
advantages of trading with this city prominently
before their view
The paper Will be, for the present., the same
size as the Daily, and contain from eight to ten
columns reading matter, made up of selections
from the daily, together with corrected Market
Report Of each weeks transactions, and other
matters of interest to farmers. The Terms of
Only ONE DOLLAR AYEAR,
will at all times secure a much larger circulation
than can be obtained by paper for the country
conducted on any other plan.
We desire that our merchants make good ad-
vertising show to the country people through the
columns of the WEEKLY DAY Book, which will
make its appearance in good time for the spring
that there's life in our old city yet, and thereby
be induced to trade with u.s. With this view we
have adopted the following low rates for adver-
Using by the year or half year.
