Journalism in Randolph.

The following interesting communica-
ton is from DR.. L. G. Herrick OF Column
bus, Ohio, one OF the many sons of Ran
dolph who cherish fond recollections of
their boyhood home:
81 was very much gratitiedto read in the
last issue OF the HERALD that the people
OF my native town, in March meeting as
sembled, had voted an appropriation for a
public library. 1t was not very large, to
be sure, but it will be sufficient to form a
very respectable nucleus for a library Of
any magnitude. When once established,
have no doubt the people will appreciate
the value OF such an institution, and will
most cheerfully respond to it's financial
needs, either by private contributions or
by taxation, and am also confident that
many OF Randolph's absent children, who
are now scattered over the length and
breadth OF our vast country, will gladly
contribute to its growth.
A few weeks ago, reference was made to
an old copy OF the Green Mountain Her
aid, which had recently come to light
again, and suggested to me that the his
tory Of journalism in the western part OF
Randolph township is becoming some
what misty.

about twenty-five couples. The grand
march was led by Mr.. Harry Mcintyre
and Miss lisa Lamson, both Of whom wore
fancy costumes and were masked. The
masks were far from numerous and failed
in every case to prove an impenetrable
disguise. There was q greater number OF
fancy costumes and many OF them were
decidedly pretty. Several spectators were
present to enjoy the music and dancing,
and the party, from social point Of view,
was evidently a success.

MISS GEORGIA WHITE, Local Editor,

ACQUAINTED WITH GRIEF.
oh! it's pain and grief to find
That the friend most to your mind
Has an ak,
And its edge you soon discern,
II obligingly you turn,
Isn't wax.
There ia trouble in the thought
That the shares which you have bought,
Like loon,
Might as we'll be slowed in bags,
Sold with other paper rags
For spoon.
And II makes your anger burn
When you casually learn
That your wife
Thinks she's married just fool,
Who will make a handy tool
All her life.
But there's nothing equal quite
To the deep Overwhelming night
OF despair,
When, with bitter groan and sigh,
On your head you first descry
One gray hair.

NORFOLK, VA, September 2.-The
extensive factory Of S. r.. White and the
S. X. White & Sons Company. manu-
facturers Of agricultural implements,
located on east Water street, was
burned tonight The flames are still
raging and the entire department and
the fire-tugs have turned their attention
to saving adjacent property.
At midnight the fire has spread to the
Union Stock-Yards on Nebraska street,
containing several hundred cattle. All
the animals were rescued. but the entire
block between Water and Nebraska
streets is doomed. In this square are
located the iron foundry Of W. A. An
derson. to save which strenuous efforts
are being made. Fears for the safety
of the steamship wharfs of the Old Do
mnion and Clyde lines are entertained.
Rumors are rife that two men perished
at the stock-yards, but these have not
been confirmed. and no lives are believed
to have been lost.
The loss will easily approximate $780,
O0O and the fire is not yet under control.
The fire has caught across Nebraska
street and the Hotel Gladstone is in
danger.
