THE ALEXANDRA GAZETTE AND
VIRGINIA ADVERTISER will soon cele-
brate its centennial yesr. More than three
quarters of century ago it grew into life Gre
alton of wants and needs of the people of this
section Of Virginia.
During all this period its prominent object mas
been to advance the interests OF the people OF
whose life it is the daily chronicle It's fortunes
have been their fortunes; it has shared their
prosperity and suffered in their disasters. Its
inspiration has been the desire to forward the
best interests of the community in which it Is
located, snd its own prosperity is, as it has been
purposely made, indispensable from that of the
community it aims to represent When they
grow rich it hopes for reward commensurate
with its labors. While they are poor it expects
to work with them and for them, expecting
make their success the measure of its own.
The past of the Gazette is offered rs an index
of its future It hiss never failed to avail itself
promptly of all the Improvements which come
with the greater growth and more extended e1-
perienee of journalism. Every year NEW
FEATURES will be added
THE GAZETTE MEANS TO BE TIE
NEWSPAPER OF VIRGINIA. 1t will fur
nish daily a complete account, with superhuites
only Topped away, of sll the current news of the
world
As the interests of the people mainly centre ST
home, no pains will be spared to chronicle all
matters occurring in the city snd nelghoorhood,
carefully excluding unseemly expressions or
gross narrative as unfit for 3 journal that Is
treasured at many thousand hearthstones OF
Virginia
Especial attention will be devoted to present
ing, as we'll from original sources of information
Is from its exchanges, the news of Virginia, es-
pecially such ss relate to the development of the
resources of the State.
Its contiguity to Washington gives the Ga
zette an early precedence over all the journals
of the State in intelligence of the operations of
the General Government, now Of sucn vital i'm
portance to the people of the South. The pro-
ceedings of Congress- seldom so interesting IS
now, will be regularly reported in succinct lorm
for its columns, but sill Masters of especial inter-
est in Virginia will be given in detail, and the
full text of 81 bills of ocslintere will be given.
From the State Capital it will receive early
General Assembly and of all the operations Of
the State government likely to interest the peo-
pie.
In its Commercial columns the especial fea-
ture will be p1omptness and accuracy. The
farmers, drovers and commercial people of TIE
State know they MAY DEPEND upon the
Gazette
Early and reliable reports of the Grain, Cattle
Grocery snd other Markets will be furnished
and the prices sno position of the stocks, which
sre the subjects of business transactions in this
section of the country, carefully quoted
The continual favors Of those who have once
used the Gazette as an advertising medium is
warrant for saying that it pays to advertise IN its
columns Never before did it pay so well to tell
the public what is for sale.

Payne's Flame.

1t is not perhaps generally known,
says the st. Louis Republican, that
the author Of "Home, Sweet Home,
was madly in love with Miss Maria
Mayo, of Richmond, Va, afterward
Mrs. Gen. Winfield Scott. Miss Mayo
was famous belle, and as remarkable
for her wit as for her beauty. Poor
Payne was not the only one who had
laid his heart at her feet aud had to
take it up again; but he probably suf-
fered more from his disappointment
than the rest OF the rejected lovers.
When all hope of winning the fair
prize was abandoned, he went abroad
never to return; and there is no doubt
that the corroding sorrow hastened
him to the grave he found in foreign
laud. The tradition in Richmond is
that Scott addressed Miss Mayo when
he was only Captain in the army, ana
received prompt dismissal. He re-
peated the experiment when Major.
bat with no better success. The third
time he proposed he wore the epaul-
cites OF General, and then was ac-
cepted. A friend of the lady asked
her why she changed her mind. The
reply was, "In my estimation there is
vast difference between Captain or
even Major Scott and General Scott"

The Turkle.

At a school exhibition OF town in
Maine the following essay won the
prize: On n turkle. This animal is
found most always in the water, and
then he comes on dry land. The tur-
kle cannot fly. II he was the right
kind of bird he could fly. but if he
was n goose bird or an ostrich he could
not fly. The turkle has four paws and
a mouth like an American eagle, which
makes the British lion and the unicorn
tremble. The turkle has a shell, and
sometimes folks puts fire on il and the
turkle crawls out. When the turkle
crawls out of his shell he is very wet
and sticky. There are two kinds of
turkles-muck turkle aud the other
kind. We don't have any other kind
in our pond. French and Irish people
eat turkle aud frogs, but / sho uld not
like to. caught a turkle once, but it
did not do me any good, for exchang'
