H Word to the Prospector.

go into mining and matrimony.
Both are said to be uncertain but
profitable if conducted according
to the laws of common sense.
Now, when the prospector, a
character that the Reporter ad-
mires and respects above all 9TH
ers, goes off alone in his never
ending search for lode and placer,
let him remember that bird in
the hand is worth two in the
bush-to use our friends words.
Or in other words, let him not
repeat his mistakes of former
years, and attempt to become a
multi-millionaire before he can
grubstake himself. When he
finds a vein let him be content
with one claim and 50-foot hole
rather than five claims and five
l0-foot holes.
Another thing, let our friend
seek rather for an adit tunnel
proposition than for vein upon
which a shaft must be sunk. The
cross-cut proposition is a com
promise. Water to the poor
miner is fatal. Better an adit
tunnel in SO ore that practically
does its own hosting and pump
ing. than S100 ore at the bottom
of living spring.
So, too, my friend, find a place
where you can ''stay with your
ore" Though your sacks are
few and of low grade, still they
can be turned into flour and
bacon, powder and steel. If
your values desert you you can
quit or swear. But it is a costly,
heart breaking thing to chip
your way through solid rock in
crosscut only to have a fault rob
you of your vein, or to find it
pinched and barren. Or, when
sinking your shaft, even on a
more promising vein than is
shown by the adit tunnel, to
strike a Mississippi-like flow
after years work and have
the water chase you up the lad
der. Do not let high assays and
a wide vein in wet, faulty, re-
mote country win you away from
the less. fascinating, but more
sure adit tunnel just up the gulch.
Another thing, beware the
knife edge streak that assays
into the thousands and is as re-
factory as a broncho or maiden
fair. Look not upon it. Wed
yourself to that wide veined, free
milling, adit tunnel proposition,
even though its values are low.
Another thing. before we turn
it, remember that when you do
strike it that the whole capitals
tic world is not going to fight
for a chance to buy you out. Ii
you have taken our advice and
have wide veined, self drain
ing and hosting, easily milled
proposition that will pay expen-
ses, keep it. Remember that
you are probably better miner
than business man, and that if
you do sell out the chances are
that you would either lose or
blow in your money, for, as our
friend, Jay Gould said. 1T is
easier to make a fortune than to
keep it. )"
In the old claim it is safe. But
if you have a claim that must
have capital to make it worth
anything then sell it for the first
cash offer you get. Do not hag-
gle. Cash seeking prospect
holes is very easily scared away,
remember. Do not sell out "a
controlling interest,"" that means
the whole mine. Nobody but a
gilded fool will buy less, nobody
but trusting, honest miner will
trust himself on the minority
side of a business deal unless he
has money to fight with in that
little 1game of freeze out"
should be played.

The HERALD enters upon It's tenth
year today and makes its chest bow''
to all friends and patrons. The strug-
gle has been an intense one, bat we
have had ",hree square meals' each
day, digestion has been perfect, we
have slept on an average eight hours a
night and from this high point Of priv
ilege we look forward to the opening
future hopefully and cheerfully.
We could print more papers, give
place to more advertisements publish
more home news, aud altogether make
the HERALD much more attractive
but to do these things We must have
the earnest cooperation Of home folks.
In its earliest infancy the HERALD was
sacredly dedicated to the highest and
best good Of Farmville and the sur
rounding country, and those who
know its history Will agree that it has
been true TO its mission. Farmville
and the Southside are entitled TO the

ANTI TRUSTS

Just as we dared to prophecy, that
body of American citizens which met
in Chicago recently to make general
fight on trusts and combines, wasted
its strength on "gush." 1t. was made
up of incongruities and incompatible
ties, and agreements on any given
point was simply out Of the question.
Representatives of great trusts were
there, with instructions To serve faith
fully and well their masters and they
Obeyed implicitly. Representatives, of
those who feel the sting of the viper
and the grip of the monster We're there
too, and smartng under greyious
wrong, made themselves felt and
heard. BOurke Cochran, the eloquent
Irishman Of New York, who though a
life long Democrat, at the bidding of
Wall street deserted ms party i'm 1896,
was also there, and When he had Gn-
ished speaking he was followed by the
leader he should have followed I'm the
last fight made by Democrats for ma
tional supremacy. And SO it was there
was clash and while hotels and rail-
roads were beneliciaries by reason of
the gathering no practical good comes
to the trustridden people OF course
the old chestnut to the effect that
trusts cheaper articles in common use
by the people was repeated, and adj
hitting for arguments sake the truth
Of that assertion, no satisfactory reply
was made to this all important query,
what's to become of the middlemen
and other individual tollers who are
crushed out by the combination? 10
trust-mark millionaire seems to care
for them.
Big Baltimore and bigger New York
boast of a few mammoth dry goods
firms and they are growing richer, but
the little fellows around the corner aie
already dead or dying a community
of milliOnaires is among the neyer-tO-
be's, and a community ofone or more
millionaires with a crowd of paupers
should he among the nevertheless. 1t
is high time the little fellows were be-
ing looked after, and it does seem too,
that they must do their own looking.
Why not rub the dust from your eye
glasses that you may begin 20 see clear

not maintaining them is of no real /
worth. The shoe does pinch. Pull it /
