BOO REWARD. 800.

The readers of the Valley Virgin
ian will be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that sci
ence has been able to cure in all its sta
ges, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun-
dalton of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength, by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in do
ing it's work. The proprietors have Sc
much faith it its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list

Died at his home in this place on the night of
the 18th inst, Mr. VIM. e. Grass, in the Goth year
of his age. 1t is with sorrow we make the above
statement. The name ''Uncle Billy as he was
called by all who knew him, was household
word. 1t is hard to realize the fact that he is no
more. Mr.. Glass was true man; his word was
his bond. Whatever he said could be relied on
as true. He was an exception of a man-true,
honest and Industrious.
Mr.. Glass first married Miss Elizabeth A. Balls
ley. By his first wife he had three children
Mrs r. A. Trevey, of this place; Mrs. VIM. CARR
son, of Roanoke and Mrs. Chas. Grooms, of Cor
louisville. On April q 1883, his first wife died
and two years after he married Miss Amanda
A. Balsley. There are no children by this last
Union.
His funeral was largely attended. Rev. G. N
Swink conducted the funeral service, his text
being 9th chapter, 27 verse of Pauls Epistle tC
the Hebrews (and as it is appointed unto mar
once to die. He delivered an able sermon from
this text. The Pail bearers were G.. A. Coiner

held in Staunton, attractive in the
highest degree. Two of the main
rooms have been given up to this exhi
bition; the walls will be lined with oil
and water color paintings, fine engrav-
ings, and full collection of the work
by ''home talent;n also cases of old and
modern china, jewelry, and costumes.
