The Farmville HERALD %. l.. Hart,
editor and proprietor, which is one of
the Invest and most progressive of our
State exchanges, has entered upon its
tenth year The success of the HERALD
ia the past has been gratifying, and its
outlook is bright This is due to the
fact that our contemporary has grasped
comprehen-ively the true mission of
the local country newspaper. While
not ignoring general news and general
questions, it has devoted its best
energies TO building up its section and
covering i'm detail the happenings Of
its immediate territory. The most
prosperous and most readable country
papers in Virginia are those which
pursue that policy. 1t is policy that
results in suppIyinga want that city

AS TO STRAY COWS.
Practice of Turning Them Out Is a DAN
gerous One.

Practice of Turning Them Out Is a Dan
gerous One.
There has been considerable complaint
made recently by householders in var
ious parts of the city regarding stray
horses and cattle. One gentleman who
lives on Locust street said yesterday
that he counted at one time seven cows
in the street in front of his house.
During the winter months the fences
surrounding many residences have been
broken down. and the cattle and horses
have easy access to the yards where the
poor animals pick up offal and what
bits of food they can find. Even on the
main streets of the city horses and
COWS roam about.
The practice of turning out cows to
pick up their food in alleys and back
yards is a practice that is extremely
dangerous to the health of the commun-
ity The cows will Of course eat what
ever they find, picking it out of the heaps
of filth and rubbish in the alley. They
thus become infected with the germs
of the garbage heap. which finally find
their way to the baby's milk bottle and
to the family table.
The impounding ordinance should be
enforced strictly. Every animal found
roaming about the streets and alleys
should be impounded. There is no sense
and much danger in making a pasture
of the city streets.

and will buckle on his working clothes

opens up a bit the contractors will put
on a big force of men and will rush the

structures for which Mr.. Hamill ar
ranged on his eastern trip, will begin
to roll in in very short time.
The Jail building is already
we'll along, being under cover and
ready for the finishing touches. Bids
for the cells to be used in the new Jail
have been ordered advertised for. Only
a portion of the iron in the old Jail will
be used. as it is of an inferior quality.
The dark cells in the old jail will be
taken to the new building. The new
cells will be of the most improved pat
tern and will be modern in every re
spect.

Inspecting American Railroads


Camille Boell, together with three en-
gineers from France, spent Tuesday in
st. Paul and Minneapolis this week
looking over railroad facilities. Mr..
Boell is an official representative of the
French government, appointed by the
late President Faure to thoroughly in
spect American railroads, service and
methods. with view Of the adoption
of our improvements by the French
roads. He and his party came up from
Chicago on the Milwaukee's Pioneer
Limited and returned by the same train
Tuesday evening. Mr.. Boell was very
fervent in his admiration of this cele-
brated train of the Milwaukee company
and pronounced it truly wonderful, af-
fording accommodations and facilities
such as he had not seen before In this
or any other country. He also considers
the track and roadbed of the c., M. &
st. P. the very best he has yet SEEN
The party Is to remain in this country a
few weeks longer and then return to
France.

COMING OF SPRING.
Signs That Can Be Interpreted Most Any
Way.

way.
So far there has been but little evil
dence Of the approach of spring, only
during the past few days have there
been any indications of breaking up
of the weather. but even during the
mildest of these days the weather was
raw and chilly. Old timers say that a
sure sign of spring was the rain which
fell Thursday night and Friday morn
ing. A good many prospectors are
planning to make an early start into the
mountains. 1t is said that a prospector
is sure barometer. and when he be-
gins to move there is going to be de-
cided change in the weather.
The dealers in seeds have had their
cases on display for weeks. but have
not been overcrowded with orders, peo-
pie evidently not having yet contracted
the gardening fever. Bicycle dealers
are making great displays of models for
1899 and report having already sold a
number of wheels this year.
good many things may point to the
coming of spring, but the snow still
fingers and the small boy does not come
forth with his marbles. and so long as
these two things are so, spring has not
yet come.

The Mccoy hoynsk fight at San

prominent opponents of the noble art of
self-defense. was much more lively and
more to the point.
A man who gave his name as John Doe,
and another named John Biernat, the
latter a cowboy from the Big Hole coun-
try. got to talking about the big fight.
Their conversation grew so animated that
words were no longer adequate to express
their thoughts, so they resorted to prac-
teal Illustrations of the various kinds of
blows used by pugilsts. The fight had
proceeded but few rounds, with honors
even. when the referee in the shape of a
burly policeman, declared the match a
draw and sent the men to their corners at
the city jail. They were each fined so in
police court yesterday.

SLIPPERY WALKING.
Ice-Covered Sidewalks Cause Considerable
Annoyance.

Anaconda is so situated that the sun
rarely brings his heat to bear on the
south side of the streets where there
are high buildings. The natural re-
suit of this is that on the north side of
the streets the sidewalks are dry and
entirely free from ice, while on the
south side the opposite condition OBJ
tains. On the south side of Commercial
avenue between Cedar and Main there
is a coating of two or three inches of
solid slippery ice in places Where it
has not been cut away. In front of
many buildings on Park avenue it is
the same. People have need of much
caution in walking on this slippery sur
face, and many prefer to cross the street
in order to avoid the bad walking.

MELTED THE SNOW.
Warm Rain of Friday Caused the Water
to Flow.

Warm Rain of Friday Caused the Water
to Flow.
The warm rain which fell Friday
morning caused the snow in the foot
hills to melt with considerable rapidity.
AS a consequence the flow of water
through the streets was quite volumi-
nous, but it did no damage culvert
under the B., A. & P. tracks at East
Anaconda became choked up with ice or
some other substance and prevented the
water from flowing freely. AS a result
the water overlooked the tracks, but did
little or no damage.
The water is now pretty well down
from the hills and the snow in the city
has nearly all disappeared. 1t is not
believed by the street department that
any considerable quantities of water
will have to be cared for now.
