IL Renovating Liquid, for extracting all kinds
of Oils, Paints, Tar, and Grease, from the most
delicate colored Silks, Satins Cloths, Bomba-
zines, or Velvets, without injGring, in the least
their color or texture
No danger need be apprehended in using IL
upon the finest and most delicate Silks-nor is
it like the soaps so commonly advertised in our
day, which, by removing one evil, almost in
variably produce another of double sizes nor
does it require the preparatory means of all
other renovators-such as hot irons and the
like. Only little clean water, according to the
direction, is wanting
Oil or Grease of any kind can be extracted
from the most delicate colored carpets, without
the usual trouble of taking them up. If used
according to the directions it will at once ex-
tract every particle Of grease from the finest
Cloth, or most delicate Silks, without injur-
ing in the least the color or texture.

OBITUARY.

Departed this life, in Culpeper County, Virgil
MIA, on the Goth Of July, 1894 WILLIAM CHAMPE
CARTER Esqr, in the 63d year Of his age
This gentleman and the writer Of the follow
ing few remarks upon his character and course
of life, had been for sixteen or twenty years ad-
joining neighbors, of great intimacy, and of the
utmost social intercourse. Their relations with
one another were very reciprocally measured,
and maintained with the fairest and fullest I'M
derstanding Of regard, bottomed in norespect
upon selfish or interested motives, but upon
feelings and sentiments liberal and just one to
the other.
He was well educated man, and had the full
requirements of Virginia gentleman. His
mind was an informed one, and natural dispo-
sition did great justice to it. He was properly
ambitious, because his ideas were governed by
sound reason and excellent prudence.
Mr.. Carter was born to considerable patri-
mony and acquired large addition to it
When affluent, and not under any dread OF q
dimnution of fortune below a good, nay, a
handsome state of independence, he was gene
rous, kind benevolent, conciliatory and oDllg-
ing. Possessing, however, too great disre-
gard of the accurate and intrinsic value of mo-
ney in the early part of his life, he lived long
enough to feel very much, indeed, the depres'
sion of circumstances and from necessity he
was compelled to submit to many privations to
which, he, in the forepart OF his life, had been
unaccustomed. Currailment to a considerable
degree, of his inclinatons necessarily took
place; and although he had early and for seve-
raj years demonstrated the enlarged principles
of gentleman, and a man of exceeding good
heart, all those refund feelings and actions OF
his earlier days were quickly forgotten, and
even the general course of his life was prinCi.
pally very much overlooked, and he was not
unfrequently assailed with the charge Of con-
tumacious sel6shness, circumstance not natli-
raj to him. Necessity compelled him to circum-
scribe his entire condition in life; and what were
the measures of sound wisdom, justice, expe-
rience and absolute duty, underwent interpreta
tons that seemed to be rather ungrateful, I'M
charitable, and unmerited. He was eventually
devoted to retirement, and was particularly
fond Of its rural and becoming endearments.
Mr. Carter did not forget his early attach
ments: He met an old friend with gladness, and
could not forget the many happy hours, days
and years they had so socially interchanged
together He frequently went over the passages
Of them, with full recollection of number OF
very pleasant scenes.
The latter part of his life was attended with
precarious health; and although ne was parttcu.
iy cautious of doing any thing to add to his Ill
health, he could never regain his usual strength
and activity.
Mr. Carterlef very amiable lady and daugh-
ter (only chlld) most affec'ionately devoted to
him--a son-in-law who respected and esteem
ed him highly, and an old friend, to lament deeply
the loss Of him.
