If you want to see the kind of wheat
and oats Prince Edward lands will
grow when intelligently treated, call
at the HERALD Office and look at sam
piles.
Reckless bicycle riding should be
stopped. You must be careful per-
son not to be struck by the wheel Of
some person foolishly flying" around
a corner.
Farmville is a desirable place in
which to spend the summer, but the
outside world won't know it unless they
are told about it. The HERALD's ad-
vertising rates are reasonable.
All the newly elected officers for
Prince Edward qualified on Monday
by taking the prescribed oaths and
furnishing sufficient bonds that they
will discharge their duties according
to the law, commencing July LIST.
The HERALD has spoken for and
been promised phone No. l. 1t is ex-
pected that the instruments will all be
in place by July lst. 1t will not be
long afterwards when every business
man will see the convenience of and
necessity for a phone in his place.
Quiet reigns in and about the Nor
NAL, but how it stirs memory as one
passes by the educational home Of the
girls. We fancy we hear them and
then regret we do not see them.
Like the roses "they will come again"
and give new beauty to Farmville
home life.
The same old story of crop conditions
and fruit prospects come to US day by
day. There will be no peaches and an
abundant crop, no wheat and wheat to
sell, corn is being destroyed by bugs,
corn will be plentiful, &c, &c. No
matter what the reports say We have
this sure and certain promise, "seed
time and harvest"
We have said it before, but it will
bear repeating: Farmvlle without a
local paper would be lonesome. Farm
ville's local paper can be made the
pride of Farmvile. Let's make it so.
II you don't subscribe to it do SO; if you
don't advertise in it do SO; and send in
the local news.
The Bradshaw case was settled out
OF court and hence there was no trial
as was expected. The fight which oc-
Cured at Rice's between Messrs. J. 5.
Bradshaw and his nephew Herman
Bradshaw, was most unfortunate, and
their friends are exceedingly glad that
the affair was amicably ajusted be-
tween themselves without the aid Of
the court.
Mr. Jno. r. Beach, who for a year
past has been living in Asheville,
n. c., for his health, has returned to

the condition of Mr.. Beach's health,

restored TO him. Mr. Beach contem-
plates going to New Mexico at an early
day in the hope Of improving under
the dry climate peculiar to that coun-
try.

Many complaints are being heard
about negro bicyclists recklessly riding
on the race track. Besides a great nui-
sance, it has become positive danger
to not only ladies and children who
happen to be on the track but to those
who have their horses and vehicles

safety to call the attention of the track
owners to the daily over indulgence of
the negroes on this property.
Work has been resumed on the Bap-
list church and it is hoped that II can
