virtue of Deed of Trust executed by Jon.
~ aihan and David w. Lamb to me as Trustee
for Jacob Lamb, bearing date the 9th day of July,
1914, and Of record in the County Court Office Of
Augusta, shall proceed to sell, for ready money,
to the highest bidder, on the premises, on Satur-
day the 9th day OF December next, two certain
Tracts, or Parcels of Land, lying and being in the
County of Augusta, on the north branch of Naked
Creek-one of which is the same tract whereon
the said Jacob Lamb now resides, and which he.
the said Jacob Lamb, purchased Of the heirs of
the late John Dickey-adjoini the lands Of
Samuel Nj. Long, John Craun and others, and
containing, by estimation, two hundred and four
acres; or so much thereof shall be necessary to
raise the sum of $500, being the first instament
Of $4,000, secured by said deed, together with
interest and the costs attending the sale. II is
but seldom that such land as that hereby offered
10 the public, is to be found in the market, as in
point Of durability and fertility of soil, together
with the advantages of spring and running water
in great abundance, 1t is equaled by but very
little, if any other land in the county, except that
which Immediately surrounds it. Naked Creek
runs through, it is believed, the choicest lands of
Augusta county. Selling as Trustee, shall con-
vey to the purchaser such title only as is vested
in me by the said deed, though the title is beliey-
ed to be unquestionable.

N. b. The above advertisement having an.
peared before the public in the columns OF this
paper two several times heretofore, and no sale
having been effected, the supposition may arise
in the minds of those desirous of purchasing that
the sale will be arrested again, and they thereby
kept from ,ne premises on the day of sale. But
assure all lch that the sale will certainly take
place at the tine fixed upon as it will be impossi-
bic for the Messrs. Lamb to get another iniunc-
| ton after having had two dissolved.

A FINE ESTATE
IN MARKET.

THE subscriber wishes to sell tho Tract o!
Land on which he now resides, situated in
Augusta County, between the Long Meadow run
and Christians Creek. This tract contains
5gS AOIAIASo
about 200 of which are cleared and in fine state
of cultivation and the residue well tmbercd.
This land possesses many advantages which
are calculated to attract the attention OF persons
DESTROYS of procuring desirable residence or of
making q profitable investment of capital
1t lies about midway between Staunton and
Waynesborough and within a short distance of
the turnplke.-lt is within three miles of link
ling Spring Church, in an excellent neighbour
hood, and convenient to several Merchant Mills
and Saw Milis-one of each nearly on the edge
Of the wood land.
The improvements consist of plain comforta-
BILE Dwe!ling-House, with all necessary out
houses, Sprng-house, and Smoke-house, large
and convenient Barn with Granary attached to
it, and excellent Orchard of choice fruit trees.
The greater part of the tract is undulating,
without being steep or broken, and about three
hundred acres of it are OF the first quality Of Au-
gusta land.
There are two never-failing Springs near the
dwelling-house, and others different parts of
the tract, which afford ample supply of wa
ter. The Meadow is large and exceedingly pro-
ductive, and not more than an acre of it is liable
TO damage from freShes.
The location of the Springs and the Wood
land is such as to make it easy to divide the tract
into two or three farms, giving to each an album
dant supply of timber and water.
In point of fertility of soil, salubrity of eli
mate, advantages of society and convenience to
schools, to church, and to market, this estate is
surpassed by few if any in the county, and the

gentleman who wishes 10 obtain such combina-
ton of advantages for fair consideration.
Any DESTROYS of purchasing is requested
to call and examine the land for himself, and he
can then learn the terms Of sale which will be
accommodating. MOSES McCUE.

BOLD FEAr.--A correspondent, of the Lou
isville Journal, who visited the White Sulpher
Springs by the route Of the Great Kenawlia, says:
TAT the Hawks Nest near Charleston, sublime
precipice l,l00 feet high, and commanding view
for miles Of the rushing and foaming waters of
New river, remarkable feat was performed few
years ago by married lady from Mississippi Ten
feetbelow the edge of this terrific height, which
many men will not approach nearer than thirty
yards, there is a bench of stone, of some dozen
feet in circumference To this rock in spite Of
the expostulations Of her aifrighted husband, the
lady descended. When she began to reaseend,
her husband cried to her not to look back and with
his assistance she regained the summit pale as her
handkerchief Her ambition was fully grati6ed;
she had done what no other woman had ever done,
or ever will do, and what she will never attempt
again.
