ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Virginia Advertiser
VOLUME LYYYTI.)

The GAZETTE was established in 1900, and is
he oldest paper published in the State, and with
ono or two exceptions tho Oldest in the coun.
try. 1t is proposed to keep up its usefulness and
to continue it as paper suited for the family as
well as for the counting room and work shop.
and to this end neither pains nor expense will be
spared.
The GAZETTE circulates among people who
consult its advertising columns before purchas-
ing. That this is self-evident may be inferred
from the fact that a large country edition-near.
~ as large as the daily-is 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 to make purchases. The adj
vantages of advertising in the GAZETTE are
apparent and need no further demonstration
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 Commercial columns of the GAZETTE will
give the earliest and most exact financial and
commercial news, with reliable reports of the
Grain, Cattle, Grocery and other Markets.
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
ment.
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.
In the Local Department no pains will be
spared to chronicle all matters occurring in the
city and neighborhood.
