country, to one years confinement in the

Dor, for publishing in his paper an ar

It is true that Christ established no

once He recognized the civil authority

ton The city which expects to grow

{ sci the example. The City Hall OF
Richmond has often been referred TO
as lsichmond's folly and from a purely
economic point OF view it does seem
that we l,uilded 4 more expensive
structure than we were able WITHIN
our limited means to erect and main
tain. Brit The Times has about
reached the conclusion that Richmond
bui,aed more wisely than she knew.
The City Hall is as an ornament 10
our navel and 4 grace TO our neck. I
is the admiration Of all visitors and
the pride of every true Richmonder.
We denounced the eytraragance OF
those who were responsible for It's
existence. but when or friends come

show, them the sights, we never fali
to show them our magnificent Guy
Hall. There it stands. a monument,
possibly. of extravaganza. but mon
umant also ITO our good taste ana
acstheticism. When Richmond erected
that building. she set the pace, she
set an example for the people TO lnll-
tate. It is a model building of its
kind. graceful in its lines and artistic
in workmanship. and who shall say
that it has not had most beneflccnf
influence upon those who have erected
dwellings, and stores and quasi punIlc
buildings since that time: and who
Shall say that it will not have Tar
greater influence in the future and for
all time to come? One thing we do
know and that is that Richmond IS
very beautiful city and that more
beautiful buildings have been erected
here since the City Hall was COM
Dleted than before that time.
Richmond has been able to boast not
only of one of the finest City Halls in
the country, but Of one Of the finest
and most complete hotels. Our spten-
did hotel was burned to the ground,
but it is soon to be restored and 9th
er new and elegant hotels are being
constructed, or are 10 be construct
ed. and. as a rule, the new buildings
Of every description that are now go
ing up are in all respects an improve
ment over the old, each of its kind.
But the city has not done its Whole
duty in setting this single example.
There are other examples to be set
There is wide field for ornamental
work on the part of the city authorl-
ties. AS the city grows richer i
should employ more and more part
of its revenues in public Ornamental
ton, in beautifying the parks, IN put
ting up ornamental fountains, III MAX
ing beauty spots here and there
wherever an available place can nc
found. And so will the city encourage
individuals to beautify their premises,
and so will Richmond grow handsomar
as she grows older, and so will she gain
the reputation by and by of being ole
Of the most beautiful and best Kept
cities in the land And such reputa-
ton will Increase her population anu
put additional money into her Golfers.

and progressive unties. In spite
Of Col: Hoge's calamity talk we s,e ~ be.
lieye that Virginia was never De tore
so well advertised by her neWspa
The fact is, the State never had 50
much to advertise as now, and the a
editors Of the State never felt so much
like singing the glad song Of prosperi-
ty.. We do not believe in brag and
buster, but We do believe in judicious
advertising, and we believe that good
advertising will pay community rs
well as it will pay an Individual. we
say also that there is no advertising
for community equal to the grat.li-
tous advertising which is given by he
local press.
But the editor ought mott be ex-
pected to do it all. The general public
ought to do their part. 1t would be a
splendid advertisement in itself for any
community if every industry and every
business and every trade in that com
munity would advertise, week in ana
week out, in the local newspapers This
is not practicable in the cities, although
we think that more Of this sort Of ad-
yertising could be judiciously done,
even in the cities. but in the smaller
towns every man who does business
should have a standing card in the
local paper. The cost would be small
to each individual, but it would put all
the local papers on 4 good and sure
foundation; would put them in 4 po-
sition to do very much more than they
are now able to do for the upbuilding
Of their respective communities. More
than all, as we have said, such adver-
tisements would reflect the progress
and prosperity Of the town, and would
give the editors remarks double value.
We feel quite sure that the town IN
Virginia which should adopt this poll
cy and scatter the local papers far and
wide would very soon see substantial
results therefrom.
