ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Virginia Advertiser
VOLUME LXxXFI.)

The GAZETTE was established in 1900, and j.
he oldest paper published in the State, and with
one 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 tho family ~
well as tor 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 sef-evidcnt may be inferred
from the fact that 4 large country cdition-ncar-
ly as large as the aily-is sent out all over this
section of country three times a week. and is
read by thousands, most of whom send here 81
to contiguous cities to make purchases The AL
yantageS 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.
Its 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.
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.

LIVING IN BED.-One of the most useiui
vet neo,ected of all the arts is that OF lying
in bed. The damage that is done oy per.
sons getting up is past all reckoning. All
the mischief and crime, the counterietihg
and forgery, the murder and theft are per-
narrated by parties who persist in getting
mn. Not only individuals do wrongly by
leaving their beds, but rivers as we'll DO an
immense amount of damage. What man
was ever dunned by creditor, had his eye
put in mourning by close proximity win
some ones fist, broke his leg on slippery
pavement, was run over by an omnibus, VINO
lay in bed?
What great achievements have been &C.

"Early, to bed and early to rise makes man

Rise before the sun,
And make breakfast of the morning dew
Served up by nature on some grassy hill;
You'll find it nectar.
Was over more arrant nonsense written? Fancy
