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
tho 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 tho full text of all bills of local in
terest will be published.
The 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
tho 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 tho operations Of the State govern
ment 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
will be faithfully reported.
The Local Department will receive special at
tention during the coming year, and no pains
will be spared to chronicle all matters occurring
in tho city and neighborhoed
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 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 It's past shall be guarantee of its future.
The circulation of the GAZETTE is steadily in
crossing, and that, too, among people who consult
it's 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-
ly as largo as tho daily-is sent out all over this
section of country threo times 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 read advertisements
in order to find where purchases can be madesatis
factorily. The advantages of advertising in the
GAZETTE are thus apparent, and need no further
demonstration.

The Prohibition Campaign Opened by
DIR. John A. Brooks Last Night.

The prohibition campaign was
opened last evening at the First
Christian Church, corner of Seven
teenth and Olive streets, DR.. John A.
Brooks, president of the Missouri
Prohibition alliance, being the speak
er, Only very small audience was
in attendance, but DR.. Brooks was
not discouraged by the fact, and
spoke with all earnestness and fire
with which he Is want to address a
large meeting. He said the prohibi-
ton agitation had commenced to
have its effect in Missouri. and to
satisfy the cry for prohibition the
Downing law had been framed and
passed. 1t was a miserable law,
however, and only prohibited the sale
of liquor on one day of the week
the Sabbath. In St. Louis it did not
even prohibit its sale on that day, as
the police board were not willing to
enforce it. The lecturer was very
severe on the local police board, an
honest judge and an honest prosecu-
ting attorney, who were willing to as,
sist the governor in enforcingit. St
Louis was almost the only place il
the state in which it could not be en-
forced, and this city was setting
very bad example to the rest Of th'
state. 4 prohibition law could bt
enforced anywhere if the courts wer'
willing to enforce it. 1t was the frs
of a series of lectures to be delivered
by DR.. Brooks in the various church
es of the city. After the lectur
there was a collection conducted b.
Col. John NJ. McMichaels. who
here with DIR. Brooks. Col. Swift
Ter is also expected this morning.

Poor Old Illinois.

Poor old Illinois! The CERTAIN has
Just been rung down on one Of the
most farcial trials on record within
the boundaries of that or any other
state. The Emma Bond matter has
been settled by twelve honest Illinois
jurymen and Pettus. Clement and
Montgomery are freed of the charge
of outraging the poor girl. The trial
was long and tedious, during which
more than two hundred witnesses
were examined, and while the jury
declared the defendants not guilty
the community and all the world has
made up its mind to the effect that
they were guilty. So strong is the
feeling in the local communities
against the men that they are in con-
slant fear of being lynched. Glenn
enti, it is said, will go to Wisconsin
to live with his mother, while Pettus
and Montgomery will try and remain
at home if it doesn't get too warm
for them. Since the acquittal o1
these brutal ruffians no Illinois jour
nal can have the gall to say, "Pool
old Missouri as was their won
during the past year. Nor can the.
throw slurs at the state on accoun

Tell Ynnr Mother. Girls.

We wonder how many girls are willing
to tell their mothers everything. Not
those "Young ladies'" who, going to and
from school, smile, bow, exchange notes
with young men, who make fun of them
and their pictures, speaking in way
that would make their cheeks burn with
shame if they heard it. No matter what
other girls do, we hope sour girls" nev-
er do such things. Schoolgirl filtration
may end dlsastrously, as many foolish,
wretched young girl would tell you. The
reasonable desire for some one to love
you is a great need of every true woman's
heart. But there is time for every
thing. Don't let the bloom and fresh
ness of your heart be brushed of in silly
fiirtations. Render yourself truly intel
ligent. And above all tell your mother
everything. Never be ashamed to tel
her who is your best friend, and all yo'
think and feel. 1t is strange that man
young girls will tell every person befor
smother" that which is most importan
that she should know. Tell mother
Ask her advice, and never do what 20
cannot tell her all about-Sel.
