Business Notice.

Business Notice.
This number of the VIRGINIAN is the |
last that will be published in Stannton. |
The next will be from Clifton Forge, to |
which place the plant will be removed |
at once. The time consumed ip
moving and re-arranging the office for
operation at its new place of publication
necessarily will cause the omission of
one number, which will be made up to
the subscribers 1t will be the first
omission that has occurred with the pa
per since it came under the control of its
present management, twenty-one years
ago. We have never issued a half sheet,
as is customary with many offices during
the Christmas holidays, but have given
many extras, in addition to the regular
publication, to accommodate our pa
irons. We therefore, under the circuln
stances, have the right to claim the i'll
diligence Of our friends in the failure
that. will occur next week in the regular
publication.
With the next issue will date the CONS
lnencement of new terms. From and
including that number the VIRGlNIAN
will be furnished to subscribers at ONE
DOLLAR year, invariably in advance.
We will send out to all of our old subs
scribers several issues OF the paper, with
a statement to this effect: That II one
dollar is forwarded to the VALLEY VIR-
GILMAN at Clifton Forge, their names
will be entered upon the regular subs
scription books If the one dollar is not
received, the paper will be discontinued
to them, with no charge for the copies
thus received.
We expect to give to the people OF the
State paper that will be worthy OF
their support, irrespective of party affil-
iations. For the past six years double
duty has been imposed upon the editor
This will be obviated under the new ar
rangement 1t will be our especial field
of work to edit the paper. The business
management will be in charge of gen
tleman well qualified for that position,
and the mechanical department in com
potent hands. By such an adjustment
of labor, we will be able to send out one
of the best weeklies ever published in
the State, and at less price than has ever
been charged for such a publication.
Every department Of the paper will be
worked up to its fullest capacity, and
the expectations of every reader will be
fully met.
Our business advertising customers
will find it to their advantage to continne
the use of the columns of the virgins
IAN. While retaining our present cir
culation to large degree, we have the
promise of very large addition, both
throughout Augusta county and the en-
tire range of country interested in and
contiguous to Clifton Forge. In addition
to a large constituency interested in the
DEVELOPMENT of the Clifton Forge and
Coyington district We expect to have
double, if not treble, our present circu-
lation within the next six months
The job department will be supplied
with modern appurtenances, and equip
ped for all kinds of work, in charge OF
efficient workmen.
We should feel complimented in de
gree that we could not express in words
were all of our old subscribers to con-
tinue their kindly patronage to the pa
per.- We have communed with them
through these columns for nearly quar-
ter of century, and while not person
ally acquainted with all of them, we en-
terrain personal feeling for them. grow
ing out of this relation, that we do not
misname by calling it friendshfp. Weap
preciate the favors heretofore extended
and believe we will be able to give them
such paper as will deserve their conf
dence and approval in the future. We
do not think we have failed to serve
them faithfully in the past, nor have we
failed in useful work for the people, and
do not expect to fail in these respects in
the future.
We will have a full corps of cores
pondents from Augusta county and the
immediate Valley, and will keep abreast
of the times in furnishing all the local
news that will prove interesting to those
who may patronize it from this section
In short, the VALLEY VIRGINIAN, un
der its new auspices, will aim to be rep
resentative of the best interests OF the
State and devoted to their promotion
It will endeavor to reflect the progress
sive spirit of the times, and be factor
in drawing the attention of capital and
enterprise to our marvellous natural ad
vantages and the promising future thai
awaits all well directed effort.
