GAZETTE.

The GAZETTE, chronologically,
is in the NINETIETH year of its ex-
istence, and is Lot only the Oldest
paper in the State, but, with few
exceptions, in the country.
Notwithstanding the fulness of
its years, it has kept, and will con-
tinue to keep, abreast Of the times
in all that pertains to a NEWS paper,
furnishing its readers daily with a
perfect mirror Of passing events,
domestic and foreign.
Its facilities for obtaining news
as they increase are taken advan-
tage Of and used for the benefit of
its readers, who are thus kept
thoroughly posted as to all that is
of interest politically, socially, f.
nancially or commercially.
Special attention is given to mat
ters concerning the State and lis
welfare, while its local columns
contain all that is Of the slightest
interest to Alexandrians.
Its regular correspondence from
Washington and Richmond are fea-
lures of peculiar interest, as attest
ed by the eagerness with which
they are read and copied by other
papers, while its editorial depart
ment, conducted with reference to
the best interests Of the city, State
and country, will continue to ad-
vocate what is believed to be right,
just, honest and patriotic.
With a view to the interest of
merchants, farmers and all inter-
ested, its commercial columns are
carefully edited and it's market re-
ports are acknowledged by all to
be faithful and accurate.
Through all this section of the
State, and in all parts of the coun-
try where Virginians have located,
there will the GAZETTE generally
be found, and thus as an advertis-
ing medium it has few equals out
side the large cities.
In the household, counting room
and workshop it is an ever-welcome
visitor, acceptable alike to old and
young, the grave and the gay.
