ASTONISHING SUCCESS. is the
duty OF every person who has used Bos-
CHEES' GERMAN SYRUP to let its Won
derful qualities be known to their friends
in curing Consumption, severe Cough,
Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact
all throat and lung diseases. No person
can use it without immediate relief.
Three doses will relieve any case, and
we consider it the duty of all Druggists
to recommend it to the poor dying con-
sumptives, at least to. try one bottle,
as, 40, 900 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed
was reported. Such medicine as the
GERMAN SYRUP cannot be too widely
known. Ask your Druggist about It.
Sample Bottles to try sold at 10 cents.

An Outrage.
MESSRS EDITORS:


wish to call the attention of farmers
to an outrage which has been perpetra-
ted upon me and, am informed, upon a
number of other farmers of this county.
My little son made rabbit traps and set
them upon my own land, and there in
truders who were permitted to hunt
upon the land, without molestation
broke them up. A number of cases of
this kind can be mentioned. we will not
submit to these outrages longer and 1
call upon all farmers who are disposed
to protect their interests to notify all
parties not to range on their lands. We
have the legal right to do so and the law
imposes a fine upon ill who violate it.
The law of Virginia is clear and officers
when applied to are compelled to en-
force it. We have submitted to these
outrages long enough, let us now de-
mand the lega. protection Of our proper
ty. A reference to the Code of Virginia,
Chapter 80, Sec, 5, will convince any
one that the law gives US ample protec-
ton end that any one ranging on our
lands with or without dogs, is liable to a
fine of FIVE dollars for each offence, and
for repeated offences can be compelled
to give security for good behavior or
committed to Jail.
