changed hands, and is now owned by
syndicate, composed of Alexandria
citizens Mr.. Hubert Snowden has been
the active editor for some years ana
through his eudeavors ne has placed
the Gazette upon a high plane IN the
journalistic world. This paper has
long held an enviable reputation
throughout the State for honesty and
and cleanliness. To the retiring editor
we bid good bye with q feeling OF regret
and remembrance of his long and
faithful services to the field OF journal
ism. To the new owners we wish sue
cess and trust and we feel sure that
they will enjoy the same success IN
their newspaper endeavors as did their
predecessor The Commonwealth.
The people Of the community we're
astonisted and saddened by an an
nouncement appearing in the Alexan-
dria Gazette Of last Tuesday over the
signature of Mr.. Hubert Snowden,
who for over fifty years, as man and
boy, has been connected with Alex
andrias highly priced paper, Inc
Gazette" to the effect that on May the
first. the paper would change hands
and therefore join the field OF corpo-
rate enterprises under the management
of Mr.. r. S. Barrett as president and
manager, and Howard w. Smith as
secretary and treasurer. The
Gazette" has been as roundly cuss.
ed and more warmly supported
by the people of this city in the hall

than any other Of the city's institutions
and it doubtless deserved both.
It's extreme conservatism, however,
doubtless has done much good Tor
the city, it's clean and neWsy char
acter has made it welcome visitor 10
the homes Of Alexandria, and there
are few ia the town, whether old or
Young, who will rot hear, except with
sincere regret that Hubert Snowden Is
no longer to direct and control its des-
TIMES. Hubert Snowden is not fault
less man, I've have never seen one) but
he has strong convictions and the cour-
age to live up to them. We have DIFF
fered from his ideas of public policy,
and have opposed them but have all
our life known, loved and respected the
admirable character and sterling worth
Of the boy, youth and man. And we
know that when we say it is with deep
regret that we see him surrender the
management of the old "Gazettee, "
that We simply voice the sentiments OF
the people of Alexandria. In SO doing,
We, on behalf of ourselves and our
people, extend to him our best wishes
and trust that peace, plenty, health
and happiness may follow him to a
prosperous old age. To his successors,
we extend our congratulations on har-
ing secured so valuable franchise and
instrument for good, and hope they
may never weary in well dorg in the
interest Of the community. TLey have
before them wide field for usefulness
may they avail themselves of the tide

When He Did Better.

A celebrated bishop once sat
through a long and atrocious SER
MOI on a hot summer morning.
The preacher was a youth just out
of college, very conceited youth
He beloved through his sermon at
the top Of his lungs. His gestures
were violent enough to break his
arms. At every climax he fixed
the bishop with his eye to see if a
suitable impression had been made.
And at the end of the service this
young snip staggered up to the
bishop and said:
81 fancy | did rather well today,
sir. Don't you think SOP"
eyes," returned the bishop; "but
you did better last year."
Last year, said the young man.
"Why, | didn't preach at all last
year.
Chats the reason" said the
bishop, with a pleasant smile.

er mis- services were needed Or not.
According to the present method OF
selecting employees, they are not hired

fault with the Governor in various
matters, but we want to heartily con-
graduate him on the sand for . econ
omy II heproves to be sincere. His
other recommendation are given in
a nut shell, as follows:
Defends his action two years ago
on the several appropriation bllls.
showing it was necessary to veto I'M
portant items.
Recommends economy in legisla-
tive expenses.
Favors no printing Of legislative
bills until they are recommended on
passage and That mailing out Of bills
be dispensed with.
Suggests that the number of en-
ployes of the legislature be materially
reduced.
Opposes appropriations for new
buildings at the several state institu-
