BRIEFS AND PERSONALS.


"l' VINO had watched the stolen march OF
days,
And would not see the days they stole
away,
Moved breathlessly to meet her, mute with
praise,
But, an, the vibrant hand that in mine lay,
Was not the one love upon my hair;
Nor hers the mother eyes, deep deep with
prayer
Save the walnuts. Nothing better
as an after-dinner dish on Sundays.
The ice wagon has gone into winter
quarters, and the coal wagon rattles
DER our pavements.
New stepping stones across Randolph
street to the Methodist church are
luXuries.
A large area in this section is being
seeded for winter oats. Don't forget
the grass seed.
Hogs ought to be fattened while the
weather is mild. 1t is hard to do when
the cold becomes intense.
Mr. Read Boykin left Tuesday for
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, where he will be
engaged in the tobacco business.
Miss Mary Hooper, who has been
visiting in Blueiied, Roanoke and
Lynchburg, has returned to Farmvlle.
Don't waste your sweet potatoes be-
cause they are abundant now. In the
spring time they will be high aud hard
to get.
II is about time to be arranging for
Xmas wood. Wet chips contribute
nothing to the cheer Of the family
circle.
Mr. Buck is at work on that Apo
mattOX bottom, and Mr.. Overton on
Sycamore bottom, and when both bot
toms ale well bottomed we will all feel
better.
We invite attention TO the statement
of the Planters Bank, the figures Of
which speak volumes for this old, reli-
able and conseryatively conducted III
stitution.
What an ideal October day we en-
ioyed OH last Sunday. Well-fed, we'll
clothed, ell.habited aud well-doing
folks must all have been happy.
Now that Farmville is fixing the
Appomattox bottom in approved style,
Cumberland will look well to the en-
bankment on the North side. There is
no time To be lost either.
We wonder if the boys at Farmville
have any snares for old hares. Going
To them Of frosty mornings is full of
fun, especially whei the "catchD is
good one.
Oar FIRST frost for the season made its
appearance on the morning Of the 4th.
The following morning it was more
pronounced. So far as we are advised
no damage was done.
Prince Edward will no doubt do her
duty in the present canvass, but it will
not be out of order to hold series Of
meetings embracing at least every pre-
cinct in the county.
Last Saturday was a glorious day,
and we presume our merchants made
up for the rainy predecessor. Our
country friends were with us IN goodly
numbers and our hope is that they en-
joyed the day.
Chairman Ellyson has not as yet as
signed any campaign orator to Prince
Edward We enjoy good speaking, but
if there are not enough of that kind to
go round, we will do our duty regard
less.
The Gem Tonsorial Parlor, opposite
the store of Messrs. G. Nj. Walker d
Sons, will be opened today. We call
the attention of the public to the adj
vertisement of it in another column Of
the HERALD.
Rev. Mr.. Thompson, of the Baptist
church, preached at Hampden-Sidney
last Sunday evening. Our correspon-
dent from that point speaks of his SER
mon as able and impressive. That's
his wont.
The meeting, which began at the
Methodist church on last Sunday, is
still in progress and promises to be
blessing to church and community.
Rev. k. II. Bennett, Of Richmond,
came to the assistance of Mr.. Hunter
on Monday, and has been preaching
since to the delight and edilicatiOn of
large and increasing audiences.
We should have at least one rousing
rally at each precinct in the county
between this and election. Not that
the Democrats need votes to win, but
that the majority should be made so
impressive as to deter all future efforts
at antagonizing the law-abiding prop
and God fearing people of
the county.
We saw an unusually happy house
wife the other day She had sold S27
worth Of frying-size chickens during
the season, and had yard full for the
winter market, besides great Big
gang of turkeys. She has been at
