THANKS.

We don't know just what more
to say to our worthy contempt
raries for all the kind things
they have been good and gener-
Gus enough to say of the HER
AID on its birthday. Whatever
Of inspiration we may have has
been received from "elbow touch
es" with them, and we confess
that we feel better in the open
ing days of the new business
year with commentator ring
ing in our ears and singing in
our heart chambers. And Just
here we humbly beg that our
brother Of the Index-Appeal, will
deal gently with us.

The Farmville HERALD, one Of the
pest OF our exchanges. has entered upon
ITS twelfth year, and gives glowingac.
count OF ITS progress aud prosperity.
Nhlle heartily cOngratulating our es-
Ieemed contemporary, we cannot r..
fraln from word of admonition and
warning that the tax assessor is always
about taking notes, and that he may
remember these boasts when Editor
Hart lists his income for taxation :
You can't bluff the assessor.

THE CONVENTION.

IuL UNIV ENllUN.
An economical spasm seizeC
the body the other day, and there
was a desperate effort made t.
save the State at least two dol
lars a day. A want of a quorum
prevented the accomplishment o.
this most worthy and desirable
contamination. The people may
be allowed to select the next
Secretary of the Commonwealth.
We sincerely trust that no
Judge to be elected under the
new Constitution will be permit
ted to practice law so long as he
remains Judge. 1t never was the
proper thing to do, and should
not be longer tolerated. Of
course the Judges should be paid
enough to live deccntly on, and
not be allowed to be LAWYER
and lawgiver at one and the
same time.
We hope it is not true that the
Convention meant to discourage
the good-road movement now
abroad in the State. Virginia
has but one greater need than
this of good roads, and there
should be earnest and harmo-
NOUS efforts to secure them in
every county of the State, and
the counties over.
The politicians in the Convcn-
ton are learning that the preach
,r-comrades are debaters as well |
rs d. D.'s.
1t is said that Mr.. Glass is
a thorough study of the
suffrage question. The people
will listen to what he has to say
when he is ready to speak. No
me doubts his courage or abili-
y. A majority of just such
Democrats would have given us
Constitution before this, and a
God one too. Courage is Just
ow in great demand.

lan's National Suffrage League,

Personal PROHIBITION.


The liquor question is again t.
the front in Virginia, and tn
HERALD ventures its answer
All other remedies having failet
let's try PERSONAL PROHIBITION
that is let all the people who ia
vor temperance legislation stoI
buying and stop drinking intox
icants Of every kind.
None of us are ignorant of tn,
farce which for years has beer
played in Washington by ma
tional legislators, who solemnly
declare in Congress that no Ii
quor shall be sold in the capito
building, and then retire in cou
pies or in companies, to the base
ment below and proceed to call
for "cold tea" a "rose by anoth-
er name" The army of drunk
ards in that great city, and in
this great country, simply laugh
at the mock-hypocrisy and call
for more whiskcy.
If larceny was popular with
men, high in church and State,
laws against stealing would
soon fall into "innocuous desue-
tude," and it would be folly to
say in the statute books that
arson was a crime if delicate wo-
men, leaders in social circles,
were to distribute torches on
silver platters whenever the
400 of any community met for
social entertainment.
The Bible warns the man who
will steal against saying any
thing against the sin of stealing,
and every Sunday school scholar
will smile at the teacher who
brings to the class room a brief
on temperance and at the same
time whiSkey on his breath.
"Am my brothers keeper"
Emphatically so when you begin |
to make lawsfor his government.
Personal prohibition would
OF itself destroy the liquor traffic. |
for after all it is the money of
temperate drinkers that supports
1t. No man loves to sell whiskev
as a passtime, and nothing but
the love Of money, or, if YOU pre-
fer, the necessity for having mon
ey, drives anyone into it. All
men would prefer to sell dry
goods rather than drinks, shoes
rather than shorts" calico
rather than "cOcktails," blank
IT'S rather than beer, but some
men find more money in the one
.rade rather than in the other.

Luxurious Noodles.

According to tradition there was
once an cid woman who kissed her
cow and said, Every one to his own
taste" Out at Bustleton there is a
gentleman farmer" who can give the
aforesaid old woman cards and spades
ard beat her at her own game. He
doesn't kiss his COWS, but he does
something more remarkable. He ac-
tually scrubs their teeth with a large
tooth brush! This man has many pc
culiar ideas about his live stock, and
particularly his cows, which are of the
very finest breeds. So cautious is he
about their eating and drinking that
all the water the COWS use is distilled.
1t is said that he has separate tooth
brush for each COW. and, as he cannot
depend upon his men to do the brush
ing, he does it himself. using the very
best CASTLE soap. He feels that in
adopting this course he is assured Of
pure milk, free from the possibility
of microbes. Philadelphia Record.

worth, many thousands Of dollars, but
before the Centennial celebration held
here in 1876 these antiques were es-
teemed to be of little pecuniary worth.
The little value placed upon such
things here fifty years ago is shown
by the destruction of Washlngton's
town house. built by him in 1868, and
torn down in the SOS in order to get
room for a garden Of the adjoining
dwelling. Were this old town house
now intact it could be sold for at least
100000, more than twice the value of
the entire square on which it was 10

'Layery's wife went out and Lavery
tried to think. He found it easier than
before. The truth came to him like an
electric shock, but he was strong
enough to listen to it without betray-
ing himself. He got we'll fast after
that, and that's all there is to tell you
about the matter You saw Lavery
pass few minutes ago. He never did
a crooked thing again in his life, and
I verify believe that he never thought
a crooked thought again. He is a New
York bank president now, and l guess
he is director of about 20 others, in
Guiding the National of Kings.
Nov you're going to ask me how /
know all this. Does seem strange,
doesn't it? We'll. got my first hint
of it from the head crook Of the two
who did the job. He told me in jail
that it was a moral certainty that the
cashier was robbing the bank when he
and his pal happened in. If it wasn't
for the fact that they were making a
hero out of the cashier, he said, he
would go on the stand and tell the
facts as they really were. He was a
cute duck, though, and told me that
they had made such popular idol
out of the cashier that the jury would
probably soak him harder if he cast
any aspersons on the savior of the
bank. The rest Of the story got from
the only other man in the world who
knows it and he told me the whole
thing when | threw at him the facts
that had got from the burglar and
the result of my examination of the
watchmsn. 1t was years after the af-
fair, and so there is no harm in letting
me in. Who he was, l leave you to

should COL quer the people. They We're
