The Farmville herald. [volume] (Farmville, Va.) 1890-1934, 1902-02-07

We can easily agree upon the hand
soonest hor-e for the trades edition but
the pretliest girl il giving Us lots of
trouble.
Forewarued is to be forearmed. The
business man who doesn't get position
in the trades HERALD Is going To feel
lonesome.
Valentines are already on duty at the
old stand, aud they are just as frIghtful
AS ever. Send them in fun but never
T. hurt
Arrivals in -Our hotels have been
good. Commercial tourists" are
pressing spring goods to the front even
ina this snow season.

surance company. of New York to its

Messrs. w. II. Richardson and II. +.
Richardson were at Green Bay last
Monday visiting their brother, Mr.. w.
M. Richardson, who is quite i'll.
The ice factory project may yet not

A Farmville lover rode ten miles

snap said another.
We hope the present session OF the
Normal school will be the very best IN
its history. We feel assured that the
mantle of Rufiner, of Cunningham
and of Frazer has fallen on worthy
shoulders.

on Saturday night, February 18th.
This company has several times visited
| Farmville and made itself popular
with our people as one of the b. st Of
all the laugh makers that have appear
I'd on our stage.
Five thousand illustrated copies OF
the HERALD going out into all this
surrounding country ought to accom-
plish some good for the town and its
people. Can you afford not to go with
lit? We don't think so, aud you won't
think so either if you give the subject
any thought at all.
Que Of our merchants, when sp'
preached on the subject Of the trades
issue Of the HERALD, promptly took
space. and then said: "Whether ii
helps my business or not | am sure 1t
will help the town, and am always
ready to contribute to that end" If
tnat isn't the proper spirit we don't
know ii when we see it.
Tobacco is still coming into market
Notwithstanding the intense cold, and
is still bringing "top.kuot" prices.
No p per cent. commissions unless
you care to pay them. and the very
/ best prices ought to make tarmville
the best tobacco market in the State.
1t is the best, but every body don't
know it. Printers ink aud personal
interviews will scatter the desirable
/ information.
President Jarman has been some
what delayed ia taking up his new
duties. He is now, however, on deck
and. and as we believe, the hand of a
master at the helm. The cargo en-
trusted to his keeping is Of priceless
value and worthy his highest skill and
most untiriug waIchfulness. The girls
have given him "Chalauqua salute"
aud Farmville reuews its cordial greet
ipgs and good wishes.
When We asked, in last weeks issue
Of the HERALD, for the privilege OF
having in the columns Of the trades
edition of the HERALD, the photo OF
the prettiest girl in tarmville, we had
no conception of the trouble ahead OF
US. IL turns out that the name Of the
pretiiest girl in town instead of being
Liza, or Lucy. or Lizzie, or Laura, or
Leuora, or Laura, is Legion, and now
who il to decide between them we just
don't know. Won't the dear girls"
settle 1t among themselves and leave
us out Of the trouble? We sincerely
hope so.
We confess to feeling better since our
canvass for the trades issue of the
HERALD. Farmville's response has
been simply magnificent. There is
not only life in the town but glorious
future. BY odds the best looking town
i'm Virginia, it ought to be the busiest
aud the most prosperous. The HER.
AID. with HELP, can make it SO.
That's what the HERALD is living for,
and succeeding it will live the better
aud in "A better town. There is no let
up in the struggle Real life is made
up Of struggle. Each day brings new
duties. ana with each day there should
be new strength for the new duty.
