IMPROVEMENTS FOR 1898.

Among certain things Will
liamsburg ought TO accom-
plish during 1898 we men,
ton: 4 canning factory, ice
plant and electric light plant
combined. Some kind of a
wood working factory. In
tn way of public improve
ments. Palace Green ought

park as recommended by his
Honor. Mayor Mercer. The
streets and sidewalks should
be systematically improved
and a bicycle track made
from the college gate to Wal.
Ter street. We cannot afford
TO stand still or take a steI
backwards. Progress. on
ward and upward should b'
our motto. The same effort
that secured to the town 8

lined above.

of town for advertisements.
If every merchant in Will
Harrisburg were to step up
and take space as good bust
ness men should, there per-
haps would be no necessity
of our soliciting Richmond
advertisements. The fact is
we could notrun the GAZETTE
on the patronage given it at
home. We go out of town
TO get advertisements and
then spend the money in
Williamsburg. We employ
labor and pay for it. Very
little of the money comes
from the merchants of Will
Harrisburg. In this way we
help the town by bringing in
money from other places.
We now have a PROPOSE
ton from a leading Rich
mond grocery store for a
half page advertisement for
one year. Whether or not
we accept this proposition
depends upon the merchants
of this place. If our mer-
lchants will not buy our
space then we shall look else
where for purchasers.
| We trust the merchants oil
Williamsburg will help us
run a paper for the town and
not compel us to seek the aid
lof their competitors We
hold out to every prOgres
isive merchant liberal induce
ments TO advertise. But VI
cannot let the GAZETTE die
because moss is growing ovel

! to be it's staunchest support

The people of Williams
burg feel very grateful to the
street committee for the ex-
cellent crossings that are be-
ing provided. 1t is almost a
hopeless task to keep the
Duke of Gloucester street in
anything like a passable con-
dition. The only way it can
ever be done Is TO have the
services of a competent en-
gineer. then grade. drain and
gravel or mari the entire
street. Good drainage is the
first step. Nature has pro
vided her share, IL is now left
for man TO do his. But this
takes money, of which I'm
fortunately Williamsburg
has little.
