On Thursday last the city of Baltimore voted
son the question Of the subscription of million
dollars by that city to the stock of the Valley
Railroad, which resulted in favor of the bscrip-
ton by majority oflI9O. The vote was small
but we learn the full strength against the sub
.scription was polled-
This subscription by the city of Baltimore is
based upon the provision that the counties along
the line subscribe ST, eco, 900. All the counties
have voted for the subscription of their quota,
save Augusta and Botetourt 1t remains with
these two counties to determine whether this
great Valley Railroad, q most important link in
the great through route from New York to New
Orleans, shall be built.
The commencement of the construction of the
Chesapeake and Ohio and, in all probability, the
Valley Railroad also, will bring to this and ad-
jacent localities large number of consumers.-
The supplies for them will be- drawn mostly
from Augusta and adjoining counties. We there
fore call the attention of our farmers to this fact
that they may make every effort to furnish the
greatest possible amount of produce to those en-
gagged on these public works.
It will be the best sort of a home market for
everything raised, and, if both of these lines are
worked vigorously, our people will reap harvest
of money, unexceed in our previous history
Many of our farmers understand this, but some
are disposed still to despond on account Of hard
times To such say, reflect but moment and
you will be repaid with the prospect of q glowing
prosperity in the near future.
ROSADALIS w. H. Bickers, residing in
'Gordonsville, Va, writes l herewith give the
facts in the case of my wife, cured by your
Rosadas. About four years ago there appeared
ON her ears, red swollen places or Sores attended
with itching and burning for awhile it remain
ed much the same, then rapidly grew worse !;
appearing successfully on her hand, face, shout
ders and arms in the form of scaly botches or
sores, and completely incapacitating her for any
duty. Al this time her head was so completely
covered with scab that it was impossible for
her to dress her hair with the coarsest comb On
January 18th, procured one bottle of Rosadalis
OF Messrs. Craven & Co., and being convinced
she use of it was beneficial, I persisted in its use
until she had taken sever bottles, aohen she oro-
aouncted herself cured. She is now perfectly free
from disease.
