AYERS
Hair Vigor

restores, with the gloss and freshness of
youth, faded or gray hair to natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired.
BY its use light or red hair may be darkened,
thin hair thickened, and badness often,
though not always, cured.
1t checks falling of the hair, and stimu-
lates weak and sickly growth to vigor. 1t
prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. AS Ladies' Hair Dressing, the
VIGoR is unequalled; it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume. - 1. Il
MIR. G. P. BRIcHER writes from Rirbv. o..
July 3, 1892 " Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, and in a short time | became
nearly bald. | used part of bottle of
AYERS HAIR VIGoR, which stopped the fall
ing of the hair, and started a new growth.
have now full head OF hair growing yicor-
ously. and am convinced that but for the
use of your preparation l should have been
entirely bald"
J. W. BOWEN, proprietor of the Ne 6rthur
(Ohto) EnqutTeT, says layers HAIR VIGOR
Is a most excellent preparation for the hair.
l speak OF it from my own experience. Its
use promotes the growth of new hair, and
makes axes, II Glossy and soft. The VIGoR is also
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction
MIR. ANGUS FAIRBAIRN, leader of the
celebrated " Fairbairn Family' of Scottish
NocaIsts, writes from Boston, JIaSS., Feb. 6,
1850: Ever since my hair began to give sill
very evidence of the change which fieeting
time procureth, have used AYERS HAIR
N1GoR, and so have been able to maintain
an appearance of youthfulness-a matter 81
considerable consequence to minists5s GRO
tors, actors and in fact everv one who lives
in the eyes of the puhrc.''
MKs' " n. PRESCOTT, writing from Is Elm
~, tharlesto,cn, Moss, Aprit A. 1882 says
1.-Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair
came off. 1t Trimmed very rapidly, and was
fast growing bald. On using AYERS HAIR
VIGoR the falling stopped and a new growth
commenced, and in about a month my head
was completely covered with short hair. 1t
has continued to grow, and is now as good as
before it fell. l regularly used but one bottle
of the VIGoR, but now use it occasionally as
dressing"
We have hundreds of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of AYERS HAIR VIGoR. 1t
needs but a trial to convince the most skepti-
cal of its value !

Staunton, Va, May 18th, 1885.
The rain, which came to partially refresh the
earth last Wednesday night and Thursday in
this vicinity, was limited in extent. The ex-
ceedingly dry and cold spring season has re-
tarded the grass to such an extent that there
is apprehension in relation TO the conf crop,
which, on some fields, is already beyond hone
of fullness South OF this city. and in sections
where it has been even dryer than here clover
is blowing and net over three or four inches
high.
Close observers OF IS remark
that the prospect of some Wa. presented a
few weeks since promise of growth have not
advanced, and consequently are going back
waTd from what they should be for the closing
weeks of May. This is the character of In tels
ligence which comes also from the great whe =
growing States of the West. It is true wi
reference to all this section of Virginia
The trade of the city for the past week has
been fairly active. The Circuit Court being in

We have to add new feature to our trade
reports. e. NJ. Cushing G. Son had their first sale
OF live stock last Saturday. The offerings for a
commencement, as well as prices to owners,
were satisfactory. The sales will be continued
monthly, for the particulars of which refer
ence is made to their advertisement. When
the advantages of this exchange are generally
known to stock men, there lie no reason why
1t should not grow into weekly transactions.
There will be large benefits going out FROM it
to our stock grow ers, and 1t will add to our
trade-interests generally.

HISTORY.

The Rev. Mr.. Huilihen, Rector of the Epis-
copal Church in this city, delivered last Sab
bath morning his contemplated discourse on
the history of that church, in which more
than ordinary historical references to the affairs
of the colony so closely united with the estab-
lished religion were prominent points.
We are informed that the learned Rector
brought out with glowing interest his research
es in to the long years during the happening Of
the events interviewer with the establishment
and progress of the church with the rise of civil
government on cur sh ores.
We regret that it was impracticabe for us to
have access to the manuscript of the discourse,
for only by an examination of it could report
be made that would do justice to it.
