Concerning the New Residents Ar
irving in the City of Alexandra
And Those Yet to Come.

Mr.. Business Man, are yon' aware
that new people are coming to reside
in Alexandria? Has it occurred to
Won that they are strangers?
Hezekiah Haskins or Reuben Old
timer. who have lived here all Their
lives, may possibly know who you are
and where your place Of business IS
but had you thought that the new
comers don't know yol or whether
you sell calico or hams?
Possibly you have one OF the hnest
stocks of goods in the city. May be
your prices are the lowest. But how
are those new residents going to know
anything about it?
Wouldn't it be a mighty fine Idea
Tor YOU to invite them to your store
through nicely worded advertisement
published in the Gazette?
Every day the Gazette is going in
to the hands of new people who have
come here to live. And they are going
to form an opinion of the people and
the city, to large extent, by read
ing this newspaper. Why? Because
the newspaper of a city or communl-
ty is simply mirror of the life and
activities of the people in the city
or community in which it is publish
ed. From it's columns the stranger
can tell whether its churches are
alive; if it's schools are what they
should be, and if its merchants and
other business men are up-to-date,
abreast of the times. or are back
numbers.
The wide-awake merchant Of the
day uses the newspaper of his city
to tell the people what he has to Of
fer them and to invite them to MS
store. Of course, they don't do that
in some towns, and as a result, the
people go to other adjoining cities to
do their trading and spend their
money, while dust and cobwebs
gather on the merchandise of the
half-asleep merchants who haven't
yet woke up to the modern way Of
going after business. But there
should be none of that class OF busi-
ness men in this city.
The Gazette is going to do every
hing in it's power to help boost Alex
amdria and its ;nstitutions-churches,
schools, frateraal organizations, stores
and citizens. 1t is already On the
job.
Are you with It, Mr., Business Man?

Some three weeks ago the Ga
zette assisted in the campaign to as
certain the number of vacant houses
in the city of Alexandria with a view
to finding occupants for them. AS
result it is reported that twenty-five
of the houses have been rented so
far and before tine campaign is end
ed it is confidently believed that all
will be filled that are desirable to live
in. Houses that are not provided
with modern improvements may re-
main idle, therefore it would seem TO
be the part of wisdom for the owners
to place them in proper condition, II
they wish to rent them. Convenient,
comfortable homes tend to make con-
tented citizens. More houses will be
needed when the other workmen ar
rive, $50 being expected next week.
