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 ncws from the capital OF
the nation The proceedings of Congress will BIO
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
tcrcst will he published.
The Commercial columns of the GAZETTE viii,
give the earliest and most exact commercial news,
with rcluble reports of the Grain, Cattle, Grocery
and other Markets, and the prices and position OF
the stocks which arc tho subjects of business
transactions in this section of the country.
lis 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 tho State govern
mcnt likely to interest the people.
Correspondence from every section of the State
published continually, and all events Of interest
occurring within tho bounds of the Commonwealth
will be faithfully reported.
The Local Department will receive special at
tontion during the coming year, and no pains
will be spared to chronicle all matters occurring

The 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 a paper suited for tho family as
we'll as for tho counting room aud work shop,
and to this end neither pains or expense will be
spared. Its past shall be guarantee of its future.
The circulation of tho 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 large as the daily-is sent out all this
section of country thrco times a week, and is
read by thousands, most Of whom send hero or
to contiguous cities for what they have neither
the time or inclination to purchase in person. It
of course follows that they read advertisements
in order to find where purchases can bemadesatis-
factorily. The advantages of advertising in the
GAZETTE are thus apparent, and need no further
demonstration.

A fatal ARRAY occurred in Hagers

A fatal affray occurred in Hagers-
town on Saturday night about IL
O'Clock, by which Albert Fahrney,
aged Is years, son of Mr.. John
Fahrney, superintendent of Rose
Hill Cemetery, lost his life. Fair
ney had visited several sOons. Fall
ing in with Jacob Huyett, they
started out Jonathan street, and
when near Church street a man ap-
approached and shook hands with
Huyett. AS Huyett withdrew his
hand from that of the stranger he
remarked: HE has cut me with a
knife" Fahrney Immediately at
tackled the stranger, and during the
scuffle was stabbed with large dirk
knife, the blade entering the left
side of the chest, cutting clean
through the second rib. Fahrney
walked few steps and fell to the
ground, where he expired in about
twenty minutes after he was cut.
The deceased leaves a wife and one
child. AT an early hour Sunday
morning John Disert and Edward
Stnll, employees of the Geiser works
at Waynesboro', were arrested and
committed to Jail on suspicion OF be-
ing concerned in the cutting.
1t was learned Sunday afternoon
shortly after the murder, that Geo.
Winters, living near Cavetown, six
miles from Hagerstown, went to the
Hoover House with blood on his
hands and carrying a knife. He
called for his carriage, telling the
colored hostler that he had killed
one man with the knife that night
