It is almost needless to repeat that one-half of the subscription-money is to be paid in advance. It is hoped the spirit with which the paper has been conducted, will justify a supposition that these terms will be chearfully complied with. For the purpose of collecting this necessary “first requisition” the following gentlemen are appointed, and have obligingly agreed to receive payment in their respective situations--viz.--Those whose papers are left at Durrington’s Tavern, are requested to make payment to: Major BURR PEYTON, or Captain CHARLES ATWELL. At New gate or Centreville, FRANCIS ADAMS, esq., Mr. GEORGE MAGEE New-Market, Mr. HARRIS HOOE Red-House, Mr. WILLIAM TYLER Barnet’s Tavern, Mr. AMBROSE BARNETT Fauquier Court-House, Mr. JOHN TURNER Elk-Run Church, Mr. WILLIAM GUNYON Charles Co., Maryland, Mr. WILLIAM MILLSTEAD Or to the Editor, at the Printing Office. * * * * I wish to SELL a likely young Negro Wench and her Two Children, one of them about 4 years old, the other from 12 to 18 months--both of them are girls. The wench has been bred up to waiting, washing, and ironing; and is a very good Sempstress. LANGHORNE DADE. Prince William, August 6, 1795 * * * * Information is hereby given, to the Inhabitants of Fauquier County, and the public in general, that SAMUEL CHILTON has settled in the vicinity of the Fauquier Court-House, where he intends to practice Medicine and Surgery, in all its different branches:--He occupies the room adjoining Col. PICKET’s Store-House, some time since possessed by Dr. JOHN BUCHER. He assures those who may think proper to consult him, that his conduct shall be characterized by the most rigid fidelity to their interest and assiduous attention to his business.--Having attended three courses of Lectures in the university of Philadelphia, with unremitting diligence, he flatters himself, he will be found adequate to the important task he undertakes. His terms will be as moderate as circumstances will permit. * * * * J M’CREERY, Intending to decline business in this town, will sell, at very reduced prices, for ready cash or Country Produce, his stock on hand consisting of a variety of Dry Goods--his former punctual customers will be supplied on the lowest terms at the usual credit. He hopes those indebted to him will come forward and settle their respective accounts without further notice. August 18. * * * * Doctor W. WISHART, intending to remove immediately from Dumfries, takes this occasion of acknowledging the favour confered on him by those, in whose families he has had the honour of practicing since his residence here--and at the same time requests those indebted to him to come forward and settle their respective account with Mr. JOHN McCREERY, who is authorised to receive same. Dumfries, August 18. * * * * To Be SOLD, By Public sale at Fauquier Court House on the fourth Monday in November next, being Court day. A tract of Land lying in the said County, on the road leading from the Red House to Falmouth, being the Plantation where Mrs. JANE WAITE, deceased, lately lived, containing between 2, 2nd 300 hundred acres. This land has on it a good dwelling house, with four rooms on a floor, and a passage below stairs; a large frame Barn, some tolerable out houses, an apple and peach orchard: A further description is considered unnecessary, a sit is presumed the purchaser would first wish to see it. A credit will be given until the first day of April next for half the purchase money; and until the first day of April 1798 for the remainder, upon the purchaser’s giving bond with approved security. WILEY ROY WM. BRONAUGH September 1. * * * * DAVID BOYLE, at the Sign of the Fan, the corner below Mr. SMOCK’s Tavern, has just received in addition to his former assortment, a General Assortment of Wet and Dry Goods suitable to the present and approaching seasons,--which he will sell on very low terms, for CASH or Country Produce.

I am happy that Mr. Q. RATCLIFFE in his late publication has entirely missed his marks for altho it was directed to me, with the ceremony of “Pragmatical Sir,” there is not a charge exhibited in that ridiculous performance of which I am guilty. To answer his inidicatives against my relations, though never so dear and near tome, is not my province; as I am no more accountable for their demerits, (if they have any) than Mr. RATCLIFFE is rewardable for the greatest acts of PIETY and MODERATION, of which his Sire and Grandsire can possibly boast; and, to follow him in all his remarks, would be as endless as it is useless, therefore I shall content myself at present (as I have brought suit against him and my character will therefore be cleared) by just observing that words cannot be more expressive of his real character, than he himself has presented the public with. JOHN MADDOX Sept. 16. * * * * A VALUABLE MILL, AND LANDS FOR SALE. The Mill is situated on Broad-run in Prince Wm. County, below my manufacturing Mill. The Mill house is 2 stories high, has two pair of stones in it, and good bolting cloths for country work. It could at a very small expense be converted into a manufacturing mill as the house is calculated for that purpose, and the situation a very favorable one: Adjoining the mill is a tract of near 500 acres of tolerable good land, which I would dispose of either with or without the mill. I have also a tract of land in Farquire County of 205 acres which lies near the Oaks Tavern; the buildings on it are a very good dwelling house, Store-house, Granary Blacksmiths shop and out houses; a part of this land is of excellent quality, and the whole of it is good farming land and particularly to the growth of white wheat. I have also several small tracts of land in the upper part of this county in the neighbourhood of the Red-house, which I wish to dispose of--The mill and different tracts above described, can be shewn at any time by applying to me at Buckland, or to SAM. A. LOVE, in my absence. JOHN LOVE Buckland P.Wm. County * * * * TO THE PUBLIC. The subscriber begs leave to inform his friends, and the public in general, that he has established a Ferry across the Potomac at the mouth of Quantico Creek and town of Newport, where attendance will be given at all hours. He has been at great expence to furnish good boats, hands & c. and hopes from the skill and steadiness of his watermen to give general satisfaction.
