Horrible Death.

A most horrible and fatal conf
dence in the good temper and gentle
ness of bull was the cause of the
death of G. j. Rasmussen over by the
Stanley school house last Friday.
Mr.. Rasmussen went out into his
pasture just after noon to pump wat
er for his stock and having filled the
trough once he decided to wait until
all the cattle had had enough water,
and then to refill the trough. While
waiting he stepped out among the
stock and was petting them, and
when he came to the bull, put out
his hand to pat him az he had done
many times before. But this time
the bull turned furiously on him and
knocked him over and trampled his
chest almost to jelly. Fortunately
the bull had been dehorned SO he
could not add to the misery by gor-
ing him. He lay in the pasture until
five o'clock before he was found by
the family and was conscious enough
to tell the horrors he had suffered.
Medical aid was Immediately sum-
moned but they could do nothing for
him as he had been bruised SO that in
ternal blood vessels had broken and
filled his lungs and other vital parts,
and he died that evening from the
wounds received.
The funeral services were held Sun
day and he was buried in the Oakhill
cemetery. He was man about for
ty-five years of age and leaves wild
ow and three children to mourn for a
kind husband and father and good
citizen.
Friends and neighbors give them
love and sympathy in this sad hour
Of their bereavement.

Cor sumptlves Made Comfortable.

Incipient consumption is cured by
Foley's Honey and Tar, but we do
not hold out false hopes to consump-
tives by claiming that it will cure
this dread disease in the advanced
stages; but if the lungs are not too far
gone Foley's Honey and Tar will eff
feet cure, as it stops the racking
cough and soothes the infiamed air
passages giving them chance to
heal, and even in the advanced stages
it always gives comfort and relief.
A. A. Herren, of Finch, Ark, writes:
"Foley's Honey and Tar is the best
preparation for coughs and lung trou-
BILE. I know that it has cured con-
sumption in the first stages" All

Better Than pills.

The question has been asked-In
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets superior to the ordi-
nary cathartic and liver pills? Our
answer is-They are easier and more
pleasant to take and their effect is 80
gentle and agreeable that one hardly
realizes that it is produced by medi-
cine. Then they not only move the
bowels but improve the appetite and
aid the digestion. For sale at 20 cents

Al the Bantist Church.

At the Baptist church on last Sun
day, the pastor, Rev. r. A. Mcfarland,
occupied the pulpit and preached to a
large and interested audience.
His text was taken from Isaiah 1928.
"Above it stood the Seraphim each
one had SIX wings; with twain he cover
ed his face, and with twain he covered
his feet, and with twain he did fly.
And one cried unto another. holy, holy,
holy is the Lord Of hosts, the whole
earth Is full Of his glory"
And from the text he drew the les
sons Of Reverence, Humility, Service
and Worship. These he impressed up
on his hearers rs worthy Of Angels and
men. The sermon was an impressive
one and will be remembered by those
who were privileged to hear it pleasant
Nv and prOfitably.

Clean and Comfortable.

1t was the privilege Of a representa-
tive Of the Herald to go through the
Normal buildings on last Saturday,
and it is now his pleasure to report the
reign Of cleanliness and comfort from
ground floor to the top Of the "dome."
We feared that work on the latter
would interfere with the comfort OF
teachers and scholars, but this is not
80. True the reception hall is not as 1t
is to be when in full dress, but even
now il is no eye sore and offers no inn
pediment to routine school work.
The dining room is the handsomest
in the State, and ready for dinner as it
was when we inspected it, is a thing
of beauty and ven a joy during meal
hours. The dormitOries are cosy and
home like. New curtains are hanging
gracefully on the window places, at
tractive pictures adorn the walls, spot
less purity prevails and the girls who
don't study well and p~rofitably in such
quarters wouldn't i'm paradise Re-
gained"
The floors are in better condition
than ever before, the only objection be-
ing that they are tempting to the lovers
of the dance. Prof. MattOOn's room
looks like a collection Of we'll furnished
g.
carpenter shops, and the girl who is
trained there needn't ever again ask
husband, or sweetheart, or brother to
drive a nail.
But the Normal is yet to be as the
picture represents it as being, and when
that day does come Virginia will unite
with Farmville in celebrating jubilee
day.
