WE, the undersigned, would respectfully in
w form the public generally, that we have
rented the Valley Mills Foundry and Machine
Shop, carried On by St. F. c. Roberts, who has
turned his entire attention to the manufacture of
Farming Utensils generally. We are prepared
to furnish any kind of work usually done in any
shop in the Valley. This shop not having been
burned by Yankees, it would be to the interest
of great many to give a call before going
elsewhere, as We have good assortment of Pat
terms, such as Mill Gearing, Cane Mills Thresh-
ing Machines in fact, this shop having been in
operation for the last twenty live years, it is
hardly possible to mention all the patterns that
would accumulate in that time. We are making
the best template Stoves in the Valley. We al
SO make the Livingston, Kerr and Virginia Cast
Ploughs-all sizes-and variety of sizes and
styles of wrought share .ploughs. Having one of
the finest lathes this side of Richmond we are

fair dealing and good work, to get a share of the
public patronage. aa W

The Panic and Tumble of -Four Months Ago is
upon as again!
Let the people answer how we have driven
back into their native obscurty the countless So
called, cheap stores, and squelched the swindling
system of these greedy Intervals a.
The dose powerful and went through like
lightning. Our purchases from the Gallego
Whitney Blanket Factory, from the winding up
we got the lion Sshare at so cents the dollar.
From the smash Of Whitmarsh & Bro. our pur-
chases in single day, amounted to over seven
thousand dollars. This is the music that brings
the everlasting crowd. Whilst other merchants
sleep upon their counters, our skirmish line of
sharpshOOters is upon the front, day and night,
unwavering, unflnching. and untaltering, never
looking backwards in the auction rooms, at the
and the assignee's. This accounts for our low
prices. We believe in square fighting and cheap
goods, and to this we attribute the unusual popu-
1arity of the house in its giant strides to great
ness. This is the secret of this incompatible
stock and these matchless prices. i

Oh how it makes fellow feel
To hear hog in winter squeal;
What splendid visions rise g.
Of smoking stews and backbone pies.
When o. er the heart this music steals
1t every heartache quickly heals,
And fancy claps her joyous wings
And sweetly sings of gatherings"
Or if she wish softer lay,
She hovers in the sausage tray,
And poureth forth wondrous song
OF 'iinked up sweetness soft and long.
Or wearied with the gutteral tone
She lights upon spinal bone,
And soothes the empty spirit pains
With soft and sweet 'backbiting' strains
Where er she wings her rapid flight,
What glowing pleasures OF denght!
And OH how bright the future SHINES
When fancy MARBLES tender lines.
Let others praise when heard afar 7
The dulcet iaute-the soft guitar;
But give to me in woe or veal,
The dying hogs poetic squal.
They tell me [ am handsome yet,
And all the ladies say
DO look at him the dear old man
Grows younger every day.
And when each friend asks, AT your age
How came you free from ills
I always answer: In my youth
paid my printers bills"

The Two Merchants.

When trade grew slack and notes fell due,
the merchants face grew long and blue his
dreams were troubled in the night, with sher-
ifs bailiffs all in sight At last his wife unto
him said: Rise up at once, and get out of bed,
and get your paper, ink and pen, and say these
words to all men.
my goods [ wish to sell to you, and to your
wives and daughters too; my prices they shall
be 50 low, that each shall buy before they CO."
He did as his good wife advised, and in the
papers advertised Crowds came and bought
all he had; his notes were paid, his dreams
were glad and he will tell to you this day,
how well did printers ink repay. He told us
this with knowing wink, how he was saved
by printer ink
The other in a place as tight contcnted was
the press to slight; and did not.let the people
know, of what he did or where to go. His
drafts fell due but were not paid and levy on
his goods was made; the store was closed until
the sale, and for some time he was in Jail. A
bankrupt now without cent at leisure he can
repent, that he was foolish and unwse, and did
not advertise.
If you think the moral of this story wise, you
should not neglect to advertise
