pecially to this city and scc.ion Of
the State.
The GAZETTE is now the Oldest
paper in the State, and with few
exceptions the Oldest in the coun.
try, and its usefulness has been De.
monstrated and appreciated during
the NINETY. ONE YEARS of its exist
ence. In its columns has always
been found mirror Of passing
events and the CAREFUL chronicling
of the history Ct what is going on
in the world has ever been its aim.
1t is always welcomed in the house.
hold, while in the counting room
and work shop it has become in.
valuable.
The GAZETTE, situated as it is so
close to Washington, the great cen.
ire Of news, enjoys daily the bsne-
fit of the ASSOCIATED PRESS DIS.
PATCHES from every part CT the
world; hence its patrons can read
from its columns in the evening
what has transpired that day in ey-
cry portion of the United States as
well as from every part of the hab.
liable globe. Consequently it is
an everyday occurrence for the
GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals abou.
twelve or fifteen hours earlier than
the morning papers.
Correspondence from Washing
ton, Richmond and every sactlon of
the State is published regularly
and all events Of interest occurring
within the bounds of the Common
wealth are to be found in the col
umns Of the GAZETTE.
The local department furnishes
full and complete history of every
thing that occurs in and near the
city, and this feature Will, as ever,
receive careful attention.
Another feature that serves to
make the GAZETTE great desider-
alum with merchants is its after.
noon market reports from all the
great centres of the country.
The GAzETTE's circulation in this
city is now larger than at any time
IN its history and is steadily increas,
ing, especially among those who
consult its advertising columns be-
'ore purchasing.
The COUNTRY EDITION is
nearly as large as that of the daily.
This edition is sent out three times

The advantages of advertising

CENTER TOWNSHIP INSTITUTE.
Meeting at the State-House-An Interesting
Talk by Professor Hailman.

The Center township school institute for
teachers met yesterday at the State house.
Professor Mailman, who has charge of the
Indiana school exhibit at the Colum-
bian Exposition, was present and
gave instructions. He spoke of
the interest that Indiana should have
in making creditable exhibit, showing to
the other States and foreign countries the
educational methods of the State for a
comparison with their own. He pointed
out the kind OF work TO be sent, including
the class work, the review work, map
drawing. etc. He emphasized the worth of
originality in the work, neatness and the
selection of work that will best represent
the State. The work. he said. is to be CON-
pleted by Jan. 10. He asked for an exhibit
of teachers methods, such as would
show the development of the pupils mind
In four or more lessons of regular class
work. His aim is to show method rather
than a series of work.
Professor TompkIns, of the State Normal.
occupied the rest of the day in lectures on
school management, literature and the
teaching of reading.
