8ulates. From Sunday to Sunday It is
HdE1fusing TO the world at large the

dustrial lines. II has brought Vir-
slnia's agricultural and mineral re-
sources to the attention of millions

the leading exponent OF good roads 1t
has been through her columns that
the gospel of good roads has been
preached far and wide. Realizing the
Importance of educating the people up
to any reform. The Times Dispatch has
nobly done its part along these lines.

be safely counted upon TO do her part
