The GAZETTE will continue to furnish the
news kilograms of the New York Associated Press
and of Reuters European Agency, while its
Washington correspondence will furnish the
latest and most reliable news from the capital of
the nation The proceedings of Congress will be
regularly reported in succinct form, but all mat
tiers of special interest in Virginia will be given
in detail and the full text of all bills Of local in
terest will be published.
Tho Commercial columns of the GAZETTE will,
give the earliest and most exact commercial news,
with reliable reports of the Grain, Cattle, Grocery
and other Markets. and the prices and position of
the stocks which are the subjects of business
transactions in this section of the country.
It's Richmond correspondence and special tele-
graphic dispatches will give early and accurate
accounts of the proceedings of the General Assem-
bly, and of all the operations of the State govern
mcnt likely to interest the people.
Correspondence from every section of the State

will DO faithfully reported.
The Local Department win receive special at
tention during tho coming year, and no pains
will be spared to chronicle all matters occurring

Tho GAZETTE was established In 1900, and is
now the oldest paper published in the State, and
with very few exceptions the oldest in the coun-
try. 1t is proposed to keep up Its usefulness and
to be continued paper suited for the family as
we'll as for the counting room and work shop,
and to this end neither pains or expense will be
spared Its past shall be guarantee of its future.
The circulation of the GAZETTE is steadily in.
creasing, and that, too, among people who consult
its advertising columns generally before purchas-
ing the numerous articles they are constantly in
need Of That this is self-evident may be inferred
from the fact that large country edition-equal-
" as largo as the daily-s sent out all over this
section of country three times week, and is
read by thousands, most of whom send here or
to contiguous cities for what they have neither
the timo or inclination to purchase in person. 1t
of course follows that they read advertisements
in order to find where purchases be made salts
factorily The advantages of advertising in the
GAZETTE are thus apparent, and need no further
demonstration.
