NOR Curling the Hair. For many years il
Il has been the object of deepest study with
chemists and others, to produce fluid that APP
piled to the hair, would cause it to wave and
curl equal in beauty to the natural curl.
The krollerion is the only article ever offered
TO the world that will effect this most desira-
bic object. But three or four applications arc
necessary to curl the hair much as may be de-
sired, aud for any length of time, From tho
many testimonials of those who have used it,

Kroilerion TO give satisfaction, and prove az
recommended in all cases.

BROWNSVILLE

The sale of lots in Brownsville takes place to-
day, and we have never brought before the atten-
ton Of our readers sale of more importance to
them. The land, of which Brownsville is a por-
ton, is situated about two and half miles east OF
the city, just beyond Edgefeld We had no idea
of the fertility of the soil, luxuriant growth and
general beauty of the country until we took drive
on Saturday through EdgeGed and its surround
ings. 1t is really worth the price of buggy and
horse for few hours to enjoy the prospect spread
out in such rich profusion. For miles out on the
Gaatin pike the eye is continually startled by the
appearance Of beautiful cottages highly cultivated
farms, and the Improvements going on in that d.
rection. All that region of country lying East Of
the river, including Bdgefed and Brownsville, is
rapidly advancing and filling up with most indus.
trious and prosperous population-giving an impe-
tus and concentration OF effort among all casses
rarely seen in a suburban village and country
Many Of our first business men have built and are
building handsome residences, and are adjoining
their yards and lots in the most elegant style Mr.
Brown has had an eye to the growing wants of
our people, and has reserved the piece of ground
known as Brownsville, for the especial accomrno-
dation of those who may desire to improve in one
Of the best neighborhoods in the State. We are
persuaded that the lots he offers to-day will meet
with ready sale at fair prices. No better oppor-
tunity for investment has been offered in the last
twelve months than this and we hope to see a
large attendance at the sale. 1t will remuperate
those who wish merely drive in the country to
60, and doubly so to those who may wish to pur-
chase. We refer to the advertisement for partic-

e4y- 1t is "rumored, we are told that we have
refused to print the reputed Know-Nothing third
degree as paid-for advertisement. The rumor is
entirely untounded. We have not printed it, be-
cause we have evidence that it is authentic, and
that it has been adopted But as business is rather
duh, we should be glad to see somebody offer to
pay for its insertion in this paper at advertising
rates. Does any Know Nothing really wish to
make a small investment in that line?
