came from the hands uf the Creator.
A lake, 80 feet wide and 800 long, is formed,
commencing with the springs at the upper end

IN these more than any other waters. and In
evident pride sail across the currents some OF
the springs force out on the general surface OF
the little sea. The lake extends itself some

through its little strait mingles its waters with
the south branch Of the Shenandoah, con-

GREAT REMEDY!

"This is the season in which these celebra-
ted Bitters are mostly sought after, and pos
sessing as they do worldwide fame. it is
hardly necessary to impress upon the mind of
the invalid their inestimable virtues. We
have, in our social intercourse. heard but one
expression in their favor, and that is when
ever used they act like charm, and prove
more efficaciOus than any medicine that has
ever been offered to the public. The maker
of these Bitters uses no hi"hly-wrought pane
gyrics or flaming hand-bills to further the
sale of his Bitters, but simply throwing the
article on its own merits, to be judged accord
ingly. He does not, like all the Quack stuff
now in USE say that it will cure all the ills COM
mon to humanity; but he stakes his reputa-
ton that whenever taken according TO direc-
lions, 1t will cure Ague and Fever, Dyspepsia
Bowel Complaint, Cholera Morbus, Indiges..
ton, 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."-Editor Norfolk Virgin

gentlemen.
Mr.. Alexander portrayed in striking and
forcible manner the character of the Republic
can party, and the great wrongs it had inflicted
upon the Southern people. showing that no
Virginiau should. under any circumstances,
vote for it.
Col. Gilman showed that under the Repub-
lican rule, the people of the South were not
treated as the equals of the North, and that
the Southern people should oppose that party
till they were treated as equals, and that they
never would be SO recognized and treated until
a Democratic President should be elected. He
said that Cleveland was sure to be elected and
quoted the New York Herald saying that
Cleveland was as good as elected now, and that
he should be thinking about selecting his Cab
