Features-Associated Press
Dispatches, Washington and
Richmond correspondence, dali
ly market reports, Local News
and matters of interest to Vir-
GINA, but more especially to
this city and section of Virginia.
The GAZETTE is now the old
est paper in the State, and with
few exceptions the oldest in
the country, and its usefulness
has been demonstrated and APP
preciated for nearly a century.
In its columns has always
been found a mirror of passing
events and the careful chron-
icing of the history of what is
going on in the world has ever
been its aim.
1t is always welcomed in the
household, while in the count
ing room and workshop it has
become invaluable.
The GAZETTE, situated as it
is SO close to Washington, the
great centre of news, enjoys
daily the benefit of the Asso-
GATED Press dispatches from
every part of the world hence
its patrons can read from its
columns in the evening what
has transpired that day in ev-
cry portion Of the United States
as well as from every part of
the habitable globe. Conse-
quently it is an everyday oc-
currence for the GAZETTE to
publish kilograms from the va
rious European capitals about
twelve or fifteen hours earlier
than the morning papers.
Correspondence from Wash
ington, Richmond and every
section of Virginia is published
regularly, and all events of in
terest occurring within the
bounds of the Commonw ealth
are to be found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The Local Department fur
nishes a full and complete his
tory Of everything that occurs
in and near the city, and this
feature will, as ever, receive
careful attention.
Another feature thatsserves
to make the GAZETTE a great
desideratum with merchants is
its afternoon Market Reports
from all the great centres of
the country.
The GAzErrE's circula ton in
this city is now larger than at
any time in its history and is
