Adele Account.
ADELE, PR. ED. Co., VA,
January 20, 1904.

o0htNA1 ~ A""A'
We Of Adele are "still on the earth,n
and enjoying the blessings Of the New
Year, and by the way, let us remark
right here that one great blessing and
comfort is a fine wood pile, as we are
having Old Winter in gallant style just
now, and yesterday and the night pre-
ceding were said by some Of the older
men of the community to have been
colder than any weather we've had for
years.
Our Account hasn't been enrolled
on the list Of the "frozen to death yet,
though perhaps the Herald thinks that
it has, or else that we Adellians depart
ed with the old year, but we are
glad to inform you quite differently,
and if our Account seems rather
lengthy we are only trying to make
up for all deficiencies Of the past.
Our Xmas holidays proved to be
quite as merry and pleasant as we pre-
dlcted. There were many visitors in
the vicinity, and as is our custom we
tried to make their stay with us so
pleasant that they would regret leav-
ing US, but look forward to accepting
our cordial invitation to return in the
future with pleasure.

manifest interest.

ordered To be spread upon the records
Of the Clerk:

sttutional ordinance abOlishing the

progressive movements, we part with
this system with many tender recol-
lections and regrets and,
Whereas, the Hon. J. NJ. Crute, who
has been connected with this court for
the past II years, is now about to end
his honorable career as its presiding
officer:
Resolved. that we, the members of
the Prince Edward Bar, deem it fit
ting and pleasing privilege to bear
| testimony to his uniform aud impair
tial administration Of his high office
in which his ability, purity, and high
character have been in an eminent
degree impressed upon the hearts and
minds OF the people Of this county.
Second: That we. the members Of

Court to have these resolutions spread
upon the records Of the County Courts.
Third: That a copy of these resolu-
tons be published in the Farmvllle
