ELEGANT HAIR adds Il charm to the plain

and healthy again. From all sections of the

BALTIMORE AS A MARKET FOR VIRGINIA

men Of that section to the advantages OF trade
with Baltimore, as follows:
As matters now stand Baltimore is the mar,
ket to which the interests, to say nothing OF
other considerations, of the people OF this sec
ton Of Virginia naturally point. She Is inuch
nearer to Us than any other commercial clty OF
Importance The feelings, sympathies, and
sentiments of her people are in full accord with
ours. She is half a Virginia city. Her busl-
ness population has been largely recruited from
Virginia and Nirginians have always been
treated in Baltimore with distinguished consld-
Grafton.
In fact in Baltimore We deal with friends and
neighbors, and the trade we carry there VIII
come back to US, not after many, but compare
lively very few days, in the increased va ue OF
our lands, and in the addition to our population
OF the leaven of intelligence and enterprise
which will soon penetrate and set IN motion Its
whole body
1t is our interest," as it should be our pleasure,
to give our trade to Baltimore She has never
been found wanting when called upon to aid
any of our great improvements and enterprises;
and when the late war left behind it, in the
good old Commonwealth, poverty, restitution,
and suffering, the kindness and charity of her
people flowed out in copious streams to relieve
them.
In short, every consideration that can opcr-
ate upon the minds or hearts of men, impel Us
to look to Baltimore as the principal market i'll
which we should buy and seIl.-Buit Gazette.

1900 bushels Potomac river wheat here this
morning of the same crop which brought $l.55
in Baltimore, three days ago, when the mar

consideration to Operate on the minds. if not
