Tho 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, aud the full text of all bills of local in
terest will be published.
The Commercial columns of the GAZETTE viii
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
published continually, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Commonwealth

The Local Department will receive special at
tention during the coming year, and no pains

The GAZETTE was established in 1900, and is
now the oldest paper published in the State, and
with very few exceptions the oldest i'll the couu-
try. 1t is proposed to keep up its usefulness and
to he continued a paper suited for the family as
well as for tho 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
cicasing, and that, too, among people who consult
its advertising columns generally before purchas
ing the numerous articles they constantly in
need OF. That this is self-evdcnt may he Inferred
from tho fact that q largo country cdition-cqual-
Is az largo as the daily--: sent ont all over this
section Of country three time, Il week, and is
read by thousands, most of whom send here or
to contiguous cities for what they have neither
the time or inclination to purchase in person. 1t
OF course follows that they rcsd advertisements
in order to find where purchases can he made salts
factorly. Tho advantages OF advertising III the
GAZETTE are thus apparent. and need no fur Their
demonstration.
