The Farmville herald. [volume] (Farmville, Va.) 1890-1934, 1904-11-18

An ice factory ought to pay in Farm
vile. If so there is capital here to
command one.
Mesdames Burger, Elan, VIM and
Miss Elizabeth all went to Lynchburg
to attend Conference.
Messrs. II. G. Crute q Co. have mov-
ed into their new building next door
to Baldwin's store.
Col. f. w. Hubbard, Common.
wealth's Attorney Of Buckingham,
was in town last Saturday.
Col. and Mrs. c. NJ. Walker are at
home after spending several weeks in
Richmond.
Quicken your pace. The days are
shorter, the weather cooler and "bac-
ker" is coming in.
The cannery Is coming and in due
time we will give our readers a full
account Of its management, prospects
etc.
Mr.. II. Rives Hooper, of Petersburg,
who came up Saturday to take a hunt,
had the misfortune to loose one Of his
finest dogs.
Whenever there is plenty Of corn on
the farm there is generally a plenty of
everything else that contributes to the
comfort Of life.
The boy without an old trap or snare
isn't in it. No matter if he does live
in town he can still have his trap and
visit it early in the morning.
When preparing your Xmas presents
don't forget the Herald for 1905 for
absent ones. They will enjoy the home
paper more than any other.
Mr.. Daily Mckinney was in town
this week wearing his usual health
glow and the same sweet smile for his
friends which includes everybody he
sees.
The amount Of physical strength con-
tributed to one day Of bird hunting
would saw wood enough to last a small
family all winter. But the one is fun
and the other work.
Farmville should have well organ
lied poor organization for winter.
Some people will need help and those
people should be known and their
wants promptly supplied.
There is no profit in selling corn at
81 so a bushel at this season and pay
ing four for it when the spring comes.
BE sure not to waste forage now that it
is plentiful. 1t will be scarce before
another crop is gathered.
The first snow of the present season
came with considerable fury, which we
hope does not anger a snowy winter.
1t fell last Sunday for several hours
with as much Of vigor as we ever wit
messed in January or February.
Scarcity Of labor in this section, and
it is true of all farming sections, is not
an unmixed evil Because Of that fact
crops have been reduced and smaller
crops mean larger prices. The thing
now to be avoided is that Of over crop
ping.
Saturday last was one of the bleak
lest of November days, and yet the
crowd upon the main street Of our town
was unusually large. What the dar-
kies and some Of our white people too
would do If there was no Saturday
"going to town" we do not know.
Mr.. f. G.. Buck is experimenting q
very fine granolithic work on the side
walk between the store of w. Il, Blan-
ton and the corner Of Main and High
Streets. Little by little, and some day
we will have all our sidewalks graded
and smoothly paved.
That "whirl-wind" of farmer, our
fellow countryman, Mr.. w. II. Hub
bard, made over 500 bushels Of wheat
last season and realized 81 25s bushel.
This has encouraged him to sow l07
bushels this fall. No matter who is
elected some people will always "get
there"
The trial Of Woodbridge and Forbes
charged with arson, committed in
Buckingham, and whose cases have
been rem owed to Prince Edward. will
likely come of about December 10th,
at an adjourned session Of the term
which opens next Monday, the Dist
We don't know that the election has
affected the blue Of the sky, the bright
ness Of the sun or the bloom Of the
flowers, and yet somehow since the
returns have been received things are
not a. bright but little "bluer" than
before. And yet we have the old pro-
mise Of "seed time and harvest" and
once to "lab0r and TO wait"
Forepaugh and Sells Bros, great
shows will pass through Farmvillt
next Sunday, en- route to their winter
quarters 10 Ohio, and there is a prob.
ability that the animals will be fed
here. Ifso it will'afiord "circus" FOL
all the small boys and some Of thu
grown ones too. 1t is expected L
reach Farmville between the hours o
and 10 In the morning.
