ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Virginia Advertiser
VOLUME LXYYV.)

The GAZETTE Was established in 1900, and j
he Oldest paper published in the State, aud with
orc or two exceptions the oldest in the coun.
try. 1t is proposed TO keep up its usefulness and
to continue it AS paper suited for the family rs
well as tor the counting room and work shop,
and to this end neither pains nor expense will be
spared.
The GAZETTE circulatcs among people who
consult its advertising columns before pulchas
ing. That this is scf-evident may he inferred
from the fact that large country cdition--near-
~ as large as the 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. Tho nd
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 tho
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 tec-
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 tho bounds of the Commonwealth
will be faithfully reported.
In the Local Department no pains will DO
spared to chronicle all matters occurring in the
city and neighborhood
