Mr.. ED1TOR:-
We don't want the people
of the county or State 10 think we are
dead down here. Our town is still boom

erection of his new residence on one OF
the beautiful elevated points of the town.
1t will be handsome modern structure.
Mr.. Chas. Albert's new residence is APP
preaching completion, while the large
new store building of Snarr, Borden "
Miley is under way. 1t will throw
shadow on the other buildings of the
county.
Our population is ais, increasing. Two
new visitors recently arrived, and al
though they came without clothing or
valises they have evidently come to stay

Weather Ccop Bulletin.


For week ending Friday, March, 1S, 1892.
CENTRAL OFFICE, LYNCHBURG, VA,
March Is, 1S92.-With this issue, VIC re.
sumo the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletins
for the season Of 1882. We hope to secure
correspondent IN every county of the
State thus far we have the promise of
reports from thirty counties, and sixteen
of the pumber have forwarded their re-
ports, in time for use in making NJ this
bulletin, representing Grayson, Roanoke,
Rockingham, Clarke, Fauquier, Prince
William, Amherst, Campbell, Nelson,
Goochland, Mecklenburgh, Dnwiddie.
Surry, Isle of Wight, Middlesex, and
Northampton counties. These reports
show that The precipitation has been de-
cidcdly above the normal weekly amount,
and that west Of Richmond 1t has been
mostly as snow or sleet, while 1T was
more generally as ram along the coast
The temperature has averaged about
eight or ten degrees below the normal for
this period of the season. Saturday and
Sunday had warm weather, followed by
cold.wave on Sunday night and Monday,
which has continued up to the present
time. The snowfall has proved great
benefit to the wheat crop, as it has pro
tecied it from the freezes, but it has of
course stopped all preparation for spring
planting. Most of the reports show that
the wheat crop is notup to the average
for this period of the season, as
the hard freezing weather of the winter, |
with alternate thawings, having damaged
the crop considerably. Up to the 9TH
inst, considerable progress had been made
IN blowing for spring crops, and some
oats had been sown in the central and
southeastern counties peas and potatoes
were being planted in the Tldewater sec
tions, but the wet weather that has fol-
lowed, has generally stopped that work.
The frequent and continued cold tenn
peratnres have proved beneficial to the
prospects OF the fruit crops, as the buds
have been kept back until there is much |
less chance of their injury by late fretz-
ing weather.
The heavy snowfall of the past lew
DAYS has proved severe on the stock in
tefests of the northern and western por-
tions of the State, as it has covered all
the grass, and thus causing the necessity |
Of an unusual necessity for feeding; es-
Decially is this true in regard to the sheep
interests of the northern sections.

MT. JACKSON NEWS.

Friday evening, March 18th. we had
quite a unique entertainment, conducted
by Mr.. Gill Thomas, who performed upon
six musical instruments at the same time.
The music, what there was of it, was
highly enjoyed, but as soon as the music
ceased there commenced very spirited
voting contest tor the most popular Young
lady. There were several candidates, but
after Mr. Thomas soliciting votes as long
as he thought proper for him to do so in
his own interest, the voting was reduced
to tie between Miss Hattie Allen and
Miss Ethel Jett, but 1t was soon decided
in favor of Miss Hattie Allen, who re-
ceiged the silver cup.
Our community was much startled at
the sudden death of Mr.. Z. +. Johnson,
which occurred near Woodstock on FRI
day, March 18th. He left here on Monday,
the 14th, in apparently perfect health, and
was not heard from again until Friday
when the new flashed over the wires that
he was dying and in few moments more
that he was dead. About three months
ago Mr. johnson was married to Miss
Rosa Shull, formerly Of Woodstock She
has the sympathy of all in her sudden be-
reavement. She tiled to reach his bedside
but was too late. His remaIus were
brought to this place Friday night, and
inferred from the Episcopal Church Sun
day morning, the goth, the services were
conducted by Rev Mr.. Henderlte, assist
ed by Rev. Mr.. Jott.

A Correction.

The impression prevails among the ma
iority of the people of Shenandoah that
the many trials of the bunco gang have
entaied heavy expense upon the county.
This is a mistake. Criminal expenses are
paid out of State fund. This is, of
course, raised by taxation in all the coun-
ties; and none of it can come back and
be spent OF disbursed in a county except
through the criminal trials that take
place in her courts. For example, Shen-
andoah IS taxed certain amount towards
defrayiDg the criminal expenses Of the
whole State, and she can not have a dol
lar of that money back, or expended
within the county except for criminal
trials. Consequently the trials OF Myers,
Anthony aud Weed have brought back to
the county large amount of money that
would not have gotten back in any other
way. Therefore let our people possess
their souls in patience and hope that
Justice will be done at Myers next trial
though the heavens fall,

to a person or family than WebSter's Un-
abriged Dictionary. We can furnish a
subscriber with this valuable work nicely
bound and the HERALD for one year for
the almost trivial SUN of two dollars aud
twenty-five cents. This is putting the
Dictionary at one dollar and twenty hve
cents, not more than the cost Of the small
school edition. This offer also applies to
old subscribers who, by paying for the
paper one year in advance, ahd the ad-
ditional sun of one dollar and twenty
five cents can secure the book. When
You come to Town call at the office and

The dwelling house Of Mrs. Catherine
Reedy and her son Charles A. Reedy, near
Narrow Passage, about six miles west Of
this place, was totally destroyed by fire
on Tuesday of last week. No one was at
home at the time but the young wife and
infant child of Charles Reedy, but Mrs.
Reedy was suffering so severely with
rheumatism as to hardly be able to move,
and her little child would probably have
persisted in the flames but for the assist
ance of william Hollor. Bus little prop
erty was gotten out and that was so badly
burned and broken as to he almost worth
less. The loss is a heavy one to this
afflicted family, aud appeals strongly to
the sympathies and charitable feelings Of
our people.

collector among your acquaintance whom
you can consult, you will have to go to some
book.
Here, then, is the proper place to men,
tion the few books which will help a begin
ner. There is, am sorry to say, no very
good book for school boys or girls unless
they are very Intelligent and more than Is
or 16 years old.
''The Butterfly Hunters" by Mrs. Mary
Treat, is most interesting book for
younger persons, but it treats only of few
butterflies and still fewer moths. Packard's
(Dr. A. s. Entomology for Beginners"
Is comprehensive, and covers the whole
field, and will be Ineligible with the help
of some older person. "Insecta," by Hyatt
(J. d. and Arms (H. }, is another compre-
hensive little book, but it is intended more
for teachers than scholars Both of these
works are fully illustrated, and many in
seets can be recognized from their pictures.
Harris ''Insects Injurious to Vegetation"
is one of the best books to be recommended.
The greatest resource of a beginner, how
ever, is usually some older collector, or, if
he live in or near some large city, there is
museum or public collection
from which he can get some help.
