VOLUME LYIXV.l

The GAZETTE was established in 1900 and is
he oldest paper. published in the State, aud with
ono two exceptions the oldest in the Coun-
try. It is proposed to keep up its usefulness and
to continue 1t as paper suited for the family az
well as tor tho 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 sef-evdcnt may be Inferred
from the fact that a large country edition-near-
ly as large as tho daiy-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 mako purchases. The adj
vantagcs 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 ncws from tho 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
Its Richmond correspondence and special telc-
graphic dispatches will give early and accurate
accounts Of the proceedings of the General Assem-
big and Of ill tho operations Of the State govern.
ment
Correspondence from every section OF the State
published continually, and all events Of interest
occurring within tho bounds of the Common wealth
will DC faithfully reported.
In The Local Department no pains will 10
spared to chronicle all matters occurring in tie
city and Eeighborhood.
