Notice.
GREAT liberties have been ta
ken for some time pall on
this place, of {hooting and palling
, and repalling, which 1 did not think
•; proper to put an cffedhial ft up to,
; from an apprehension thatloin? con
traded minds mic ht think me ill
■ natured ; but as the planting leaf >n
now approaches, t mivft infill on
thole pradices being dilcontinued—
thofe who may perlevere, 1 will not
only treat very cavalierly , but' will
prolecute them as far as the law ex
tends.
The waggoning and rolling of
tobacco being near over, 1 have
thought proper to (top two or three
roads which were; made through this
trad ; I therefore recommend it to
all waggoners aid others, not to
oifturb my fences at thei? peril, as
they cannot think it reaionahle that
live or fix* roads can be allowed
through the fame trad.
