June 28, 1825, p.1: Farmers and Builders ATTEND: The subscriber has for sale and expects to keep a constant supply of FIRST RATE LIME from Jefferson Co [became West Virginia in 1863, was Virginia at that time. BCSouders] The price is low. Thos. R. SAUNDERS.
June 28, 1825, p.1: Attend : From twenty to thirty young men of good character and of sober and industrious habits, can find situations at this Post as Sergeants, Corporals, Carpenters and privates, where the wages it is believed are much better than can now be had in the country. A sergeant's pay is nine dollars per month, Corporal's seven and Carpenter's ten and a private's are regularly paid every two months. Each person enlisting for five years will receive twelve? dollars as a bounty. The clothing is excellent and more than can possibly be worn?. It is not uncommon for a soldier to have from thirty to forty dollars due him at the end of five years for undrawn clothing. The provisions are of the best and in abundance--the quarters are excellent.
June 28, 1825, NOTE: A young man is much wanted as Steward to the hospital who can read and write. He will receive in addition to his pay as a private fifteen cents per day. Application must be made in person at Fort Washington to Thoas CHILDS, Lt. of the US Army
June 28, 1825, p.4: $30 reward, will be given for apprehending ARMISTEAD CARTER, who eloped on the 13th instant. Armistead is about five feet seven inches high, eighteen or 19 years of age, stout but awkward in his person, and when walking fast points his elbows more than usual behind. Armistead might be readily taken for a white man, as he is three-fourths white; his hair is coarse and strong; of a dirty sandy colour, rather inclined to curl. He had a variety of clothing not recollected, except the following--a fur hat nearly new; over which he generally wears a pasteboard; one pair of white linen pantaloons, one pair of pale blue domestic pantaloons, one white Marseilles vest, striped across with blue or purple, he had little or no beard; has been raised in a dining room, and is an excellent servant in that capacity, and probably may seek such employment in a tavern.
I will give the above reward if taken out of the county; twenty dollars if taken in it; and fifty dollars if taken out of the state; and all reasonable charges paid if brought home.

July 5, 1825, p.3: COLONIZATION SOCIETY According to a previous notice, a meeting of the Auxiliary Colonzation Society of Loudoun was held, on Saturday the 25th June, at the Presbyterian church, in Leesburg.
Owing to the unusually early approach of harvest, few of the members attended.--Col. William ELLZEY being the only vice-president present, took the chair, and it appearing that a sufficient number of members to transact business was not present, it was proposed to read to the members attending and to the audience the proceedings and report of the eighth annual meeting of the American Colonization Society. These were accordingly read by the secretary, after which the Rev. Mr. GURLEY the secretary of the mother society, (who has visited the colony of Liberia) gave an interesting account of its present state and its prospects, of the character and soil of the country, of its production, and of the character of the natives. He exhibited specimens of the coffee and mahogany, &c, of Africa.
It was moved and carried that the meeting be adjourned to the second Monday in August next, at which time several able and eloquent friends of the Society, from a distance, will attend and address our members and fellow citizens on the subject of African colonization. By order,

John Henry COCKE is a youth about 17 years old and was in the employ of a certain John UNDERWOOD living near Goose Creek Loudoun County. About the last of last March he left Mr. Underwoods since which time all enquiries and search have been in vain. It is greatly hoped every feeling heart will sympathize and if in their power, speedily relieve the painful inquietude of a parent's heart.

July 26, 1825, OBITUARY Died in Union, Loudoun, County VA on the sixteenth instant, in the 35th year of his age, Mr. Cornelius VANDEVENTER. An afflicted widow and son, with numerous connegions [sic] and friends, have cause sincerely and deeply to mourn the unexpected privation of the deceased. The eulogist cannot convey in exaggerated praise the estimable traits of his character. To say the least of him, the writer of this has never known a person who made no profession of religion, whose habits of morality were more uniform, dignified and consistent. Indeed, from infancy he had given an considerable portion of his time to serious and religious meditation; and, at six years of age, he was known frequently to prostrate himself in prayer and supplication to God, and if continued ejaculations to heaven for pardon, with deep compunction of soul for past offences, and repeated cries to Jesus for help and intercession with an alternate and cheerful resignation to the mandate of God, furnish evidence of a happy conclusion of time, his friends enjoy the consolation. He met his fate like a christian and a hero. He expired in tranquil sleep, without a sign, groan or struggle, and while a multitude of mourning friends surrounded his bed, to see the insatiate monster execute its mission, no eye could discover when the fatal shaft was flung. The neighborhood has never taken a deeper interest in the issue of any case, neither did any individual ever receive more affectionate attendance.
He is now numbered with the pale millions who have gone before. His immortal spirit, unmanacled from clay, has flown on buoyant wings to join its kindred in the skies.
