Y1Hh ALEXANDRA GAZETTE AND
i VIRGINIA ADVERTISER will soon cell
brate its centennial year. More than three
quarters of a century ago it grew into lite ere
alton of wants and needs OF the people OF thls
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. Its fortunes
have been their fortunes; 1t 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 1t Is
located, and its own prosperity is, as 1t has been
purposely made, insepsrable from that OF the
community it aims to represent. When they
grow rich it hopes tor reward commensurate
with its labors. While they are poor 1t expects
to work with them and for them, expecting to
make their success the measure Of its own.
The past Of the Gazette is offered as an index
Of its future. 1t has never failed to avail itself
promptly of all the improvements which come
with the greater growth and more extended e X
perience of journalism Every year NEW
FEATURES will be added.
