Special Notices
A CARD

To my FELLOW Citizens of augusta:
Having been called upen by Legion and
mount Zion'' within the past month or more,
through the public press of the county, and
having been earnestly solicited by scores OF my
friends in different parts of the county to be-
come candidate to represent the county in the
next Legislature of Va, / feel, that in respect
to myself and in justice to them / can no longer
remain silent on the subject; and l assure my
friends that my seeming hardness in replying
must not be construed as disposition to treat
them cavalierly; but only took time to ma
turely reflect on grave subject, and to con-
suit with my friends in the premises.
I would remind my fellow citizens that two
years ago was urged by many of my friends in
person, as we'll as through the press, to become
a candidate, and through the same medium,
declined the honor, with the intimation that at
some future time might consent to become
candidate, and, believing that the time has now
come, l hereby announce myself candidate to
represent the county, in part, in the House OF
Delegates of the next General Assembly of Va.
I appreciate in the highest degree the honor
conferred upon me by the fsttering estimate my
friends have put upon my ability to represent
them in the councils of the great State of Vlr-
gnia; and, should it be their pleasure to elect
me. pledge myself to represent their interest
with honesty and fidelity at least, and with
whatever ability kind Providence has vouch-
safed to me. Respectfully,
JOHN j. CUPP.

Centaur LinIment.

There is no pain which the Centaur Liniment
will not relieve, no swelling it will not subdue
and no lameness which it will not cure. This IS
strong language, but it is true. Where the parts
are not gone, its effects are marvellous. 1t has
produced more cures of rheumatism, neuralgia,
lockjaw, palsy, sprains, swellings, caked-breasts
scalds, burns, salt-rheum, ear-ache, &c, upon
the human frame, and of strains, SPAWN, gals,
&c. upon animals in one year than have all 9TH
er pretended remedies since the world began
1t is counter-irritant, an all-healing pain re-
lever. Cripples throw away their crutches, the
lame walk, poisonous bites are rendered HARM
less, and the wounded are healed without scar.
1t is no humbug. Therecipeis published around
each bottle. It is selling no article ever before
sod and it sells because it does just what it pre-
tends to do Those who now suffer from rheu-
matism, pain or swelling, deserve to suffer If
they will not use Centaur Liniment. More than
1000 certificates of remarkable cures, including
frozen limbs, chronic rheumatism, govt, run
ming tumors &c, have been received. We will
send circular containing certificates, the reel
pc, &C., gratis, 20 any one requesting it. One
bottle of the yellow wrapper Centsur Liniment
is worth one hundred dollars for spawned or
sweened horses and mules, or for screw-worm
in sheep. Stock owners, this liniment is worth
your attention. No family should be without
Centaur Liniment. Price SOC bottle, large bot
ties $l.00. j. B. ROSE 81 Co,

Ms- Summer Diseases.-THE GREAT
r E M 6 ID Y-BAKERS PREMIUM BIT
TIERS.
From Editor of Norfolk Herald
''This is the season which these celebrated Bit
ters are mostly sought after and possessing as
they do a worldwide fame, it is hardly necessa-
~ to impress upon the mind of the invalid their
inestmabe virtues. We have, in our social in
tercourse, heard but one expression in their ia
vor, and that is, whenever used they act like q
charm, and prove more efficacious than any
medicine that has ever been offered to the pub
lie. The maker of these Bitters uses no highly
wrought panegyrics or flaming hand-bills to fur
tn r the sale of his Btters, but simply throwing
the article ON its own merits, to be judged accor-
dinghy. He does not, like ali the quack stuff
now in use, say that it will cure all the ills COM
mon TO humanity; but he stakes his reputation
that whenever taken according to directions it
will cure Ague and Fever, Dyspepsia, Bowel
Complaint, Cholera Morbus, Indigestion, Sour
Stomach, Loss of Appetite, and all diseases
arising from torpidity of the Liver and inaction
of the digestive organs. Their equal is yet to be
had.

The many virtues and christian graces that
adorned this inestimable woman, may be briefly
expressed in the following passage: She was
''steadfast and immovable, always Astounding in
the work of the Lord - like "a scribe instructed
unto the Kingdom of Heaven" she was daily
bringing out of her treasures, things new and
old, for the improvement of her beloved family,
who now deeply mourn the loss of noble, in
telligent mother whose place can never be filed.
But He who gave. and who hath recalled his
own, says-"Be still, and knoao that am God"

illipse, Immediately in front of this assemblage,
were The stalls containing the large number of
fine horses, mules, colts and cattle exhibition.
In the centre was the beautiful lakelet reflect
ing, like a mirror, the images of the objects
above and around it, whilst upon its crystal sur
face glided the pleasure boats freighted with the
prescious cargoes of beautiful women and brave
men, whose speaking eyes ''spake love to eyes
which spake again"
In the meantime the track was occupied by
horses either trotting at full speed-naking
the whole scene Of animated interest to the be-
holders, which they seemed to enjoy.
FIRST DAY.
On the first day, the most exciting race was
that between the bay horse of FL. L. Terrill, of
Rockbridge, and Jno. Moorman's horse, ''Soll-
tude," being a trotting race for the premium OF
$50. in which Mr. Terrilrs horse was successful
in two of the three heats.
SECOND DAY.
On the second day, the first feature of mark ed
interest was that of the drill and inspection on
the race track, of the Knights Templar of this
city and those from Charlottesville. The Tenn
plars with their fine persons, fine port fine dress,
fine horses in fne mot to draw it too fne," with
their fine tout ensemble presented fine appear

INCESDIARY. Last Friday evening,
between nine and ten o'clock, after all
the family of Mr.. a. G. Edmiston, ex-
cept himself, had retired, Mr.. E. no
ticed the reflection from fire in his
front yard, and it at once occurred to
him that his smoke house, in the rear
of the house, had caught, and he ran
around for the purpose of seeing,
when he discovered that the fire was
on the roof of his house. He gave
the alarm, and the rest OF the family
came to his assistance and soon sub
dued the flames. 1t was then found
that some person had thrown bundle
of old clothing upon the root of the
kitchen, after setting it on fire. The
cloths had been saturated in oil of
some kind, and made flame that was
with difficulty extinguished. 1t had
burr half through the pine shingles,
and in q few moments more the build
ing would have been past saving.
Had Mr.. Edmiston not been sick at
the time, which fact prevented his re-
firing with the balance of the family,
his house weuld undoubtedly have
burned, and some OF the inmates, even,
might have perished with il. The
house Is nearly new one, and one Of
the best in town. The author OF this

The members OF the Pike Town
ship Farmers Club win please bear in
mind that the first monthly meeting
of the Club eonvenes at Patty's school
house on the 3lst of May, ut o'clock
p. m 1t is to be hoped that every
member viii be present, and. also a
goodly number of those who desire to
become members. Do not let us be
behind other townships, either in iu-
terest or the length of our member
ship list. Don't let anything deter
you from coming out.
Although nothing definite has
been done, We feel battered that our
railroad interests in this section will
be arranged satisfactorily to all inter-
ested at no very distant day. We feel
that with the location of the switch
at a more convenient place for the
transaction of the business of the
town and country, that the business
will increase TO such an extent that
the company will not have occasion to
regret CDe movement
An arrangement will he set Oh
foot shortly to have the north park on
the townsite broken up preparatory to
having the same set out in trees, in
view OF making it 4 permanent i'm
provement-not only an ornament and
credit to the town, but place to
hold pic mics and other pleasure
parties. l hope an interest will be
manifested in this matter by those not
financially interested, and hearty
support is looked for from those more
nearly Interested. With bat very
small outlay Il beautiful spot can be
made of it. Nature has done her fun
share, and it now remains for us to
put on the other embellishments to our
tastes. i. +. l..
