lotte on last Saturday
Mrs. K. b. Berkeley has been called
TO the bedside OF her sister, Mrs. Hum
phries, who is sick in Lynchburg.
The cry of a baby is about the only
noise which is heard above the rattle Of
d railway train in motion.
McCue enjoys at least one advantage
over the rest Of us. His creditors must
hands oil.
Mrs. Snow, mother Of Miss Snow Of
the Normal faculty, has returned from
visit to Baltimore and is with her
daughter again at Mrs. Berkeley's.
When the weather does get to be
rainy, snowy and blowy, just remem-
Der the flood OF sunshine We have been

find fault Of the change.
"The hand that made US is divine"
That must have been your thought If

Mr.. Clevelsnd's Thanksgiving tur-
key, the one sent him during the first
year Of his first term, weighed 46 pounds.
We haven't heard from Mr.. ROssevelts

The value Of line Of advertisement
in the columns ola live newspaper can
not be estimated. The Herald is live
newspaper and the cost is only 5 cents
a line.
The dispensary sales on last Satur-
day amounted to 1905. What are the
