WHY Not At Work

\ representative Of the Herald was
on a Southern train recently going be-
tween Danville and Burkeville, and
he heard a stranger ask this question:
"Why don't we see some one at work
on the farm thro' which we are pass
ing? Some one answered: "This is
not the working season on our farms, "
to which he said, "all seasons are
working seasons on all well managed
farms, for bitches are TO be opened,
fences repaired, debris to be removed,
trees trimmed, fire wood to be cut,
etc. And was he not right?
Shall the pillow be put in order on
the morning Of the day when the
blowing season opens? Should the
fences be repaired when the crop is 10
be planted or when it is to be worked ?
Has the farmer time in which to cut
hay and wood on the same day? Our
stranger friend was right, some farm
ers should have been seen in some
fields doing some work even at this
season Of the year.

Never before in the history Of this
neighborhood has there been so many
inquiries for farms. Nearly every day
there are strangers stopping TO enquire
the way to some farm listed for sale.
The cheapness Of the lands, though
many contend that land has advanced
and the Improvements to be found on
the farms, and the soil being easy of
improvement, are facts which are in
our favor.

Not Born That Way.

Editor Herald: | am perfectly per
suaded in my own mind that hotel
keepers are born, not made and that
the average Southern man is not born
that way. Take this one example, the
mere mention of which causes the
shivers TO run over me. / arrived at
a hotel at 4. VI. and found all hands
fast asleep and rather indignant that
they should have been disturbed at
that hour when the birds alone are eX-
pected to be out hunting for worms,
after vigorous knocking did gain adj
mission, and from that time on con-
fusion reigned supreme. The stalwart
proprietor relied upon little negro
boy TO make the fire, the wood was
wet, the stove would smoke and the
little negro looked on in amazement.
The man in charge hurried from point
to point as aimlessly and objectle,sly
as a headless chicken.
did not see the house wife at work
in the kitchen but / know that she
had the wet wood to contend with too,
the stove that wouldn't draw, the bis
cults that wouldn't brown, the water
that wouldn't "bile," the steak that
wouldn't tender, the fat that wouldn't
fry and the cakes that wouldn't turn.
Ny sympathies were stirred, my rest
lessness became more so and my appe-
tite was unappeased. And this hotel
is a large one, located in flourishing
centre and not at a country cross road.
The travelling men will avoid il as
they would poison and the world will
know they are right in so doing
love the Southern people above all
the people Of this earth and know that
among them are to be found the most
accomplished home-keepers known to
history but they just don't know how
to keep hotels. There are exceptions
but they are rare. TRANSIT.
Usefulness ofthe Country Phones.
Stoddert, Va, March a, 'O5.
Editor Herald.-That families who
live apart are brought together makes
the telephone the greatest convenience
Of the age. This county is strungwith
wires, and nearly every house has
phone. 1t is what every family needs
and ought to have. There is no tell
ing the convenience and pleasure they
have afforded, particularly during
this bad winter. They are a great
convenience i'm case Of sickness As the
doctor can be gotten very often in just
one half the time that they can, where
you have to get on horse and ride
through the county, and may be not
find him at home.
As an instance of the convenience Of
phones i'm case of fire, a prominent
man Of Cumberland was from home,
and his stable and corn house took
fire. No one was on the place except
his wife and little children, and she
had the presence Of mind TO step to
the phone and ring for ueighbors who
came to her assistance and saved the
stock and most Of the corn. 1t brings
farmers in close touch about their
work, and also their meetings. Ihope
to see the day when every house will
have phone. There are very few
people that can not afford TO have a !
phone.

lis Better With Us.
\ Phone MAN.

during one OF the contest ana lnoSt
disagreeable days Of the recent past
we met with a stranger who had come
into our midst to buy a home in the
"sunny south" We asked him what
he thought Of the land Of flowers, and
he quickly said: This i, mild, for
when / left home it was 30 degrees
below zero" This gave us good COM
fort. On further inquiry we learned
that during the summer time the
thermometer often played about the
100 point, that the winds were dis
tressingly hot, and that there were no
trees in sight of his home, and that
rains were of rare occurrence. by
this time we began TO realize why he
had come, and why he should make
his home with us. We don't so much
mind being out Of sight of trees when
on the wide, wide sea- but we cannot
tolerate the idea of summer time on
land and no shade tree under which to
rest.
Come South, young man, and older
ones too and to SOuthside Virginia.
Would You Garry Youth Into Age.
lOrison Sweet Marden in Success.
Expect a good, long, useful life.
Hold young thoughts persistently
Simply refuse to grow old by count
ing your years or anticipating old age.
One Of the best preventiyes of age is
enthusiasm and interest in affairs Of
the day.
Keep in misunderstanding beauti-
full or sweet grows or ripens in the
darkness.
Avoid fear in all its varied forms of
expression; it is the greatest enemy Of
the human race.
Nature is the great rejuvenator; her
spirit is ever young. Live with her;
study her; love her.
Avoid excuses Of all kinds they are
injurious. The long life must be a
temperate, regularliie.
Contemplate beauty in all its forms
and you will drive everything that is
ugly out Of your life
Keep mental cob webs, dust and
brain ashes brushed of by frequent
trips to the country, or by travel.
Don't allow yourself TO think, on
your birthday, that you are a year old
er, and so much nearer the end.
Never look on the dark side; take
sunny views Of everything; a sunny
thought drives away the shadows.
BE child;live simply and naturally,
and keep clear of entangling alliances
and complications of all kinds.
Cultivate the spirit Of contentment;
all discomfort and dissatisfaction bring
age-furrows prematurely to the face.
Keep your mind young by fresh, Vi
gorous thinking, and your heart sound
by cultivating a cheerful, optimistic
disposition.
Don't live to eat, but eat to live.
Many of our ills are due to overeating,
to eating the wrong things, and to ir-
regular eating.

ATTACK NATIONAL CITY BANK
Lawyers in Munroe Bankruptcy Case
Say it Aided Stock Initiation.


New York, Jan. 6.--It was rumored
yesterday that the alleged dealings of
the National City bank with Munroe
& Munroe, whose failure was brought
about by an attempt to initiate the price
of Montreal and Boston Consolidated
Copper stock. might lead to an inquiry
by the federal officials to determine
whether the national banking laws
have been violated. Munroe Il Munroe,
according to the testimony given in the
bankruptcy proceedings, got 100000 ev-
cry morning for eight successive days
from the National City bank on unse-
cured notes, repaying the money at the
close of each day. Whether certified
checks We're given has not been deter
mined.
Archibald G. I.oomis, second vice
president of the National City bank,
was practically the head of the syndi-
cate whose Montreal and Boston stock
was washed" up according to Sam
uel Untermyer. counsel for the receiv-
err SO that 1T could be unloaded at
huge profit on the public.
Lawyers say that section 5000 of the
United States revised statutes, which
provides that any officer or clerk of a
bank, who wilfully misapplies any of
the funds of the association shall be
deemed guilty Of a misdemeanor, and
imprisoned not less than Ave years
nor more than ten. applies also to GER
tfication OF checks in excess OF depos-
It's
The syndicate controlled about 700,-
600 shares Of the stock. and, accord
ing to the testimony, was to take a
profit slightly under 60 per cent of all
sales of the stock made at over 81 n
share. The stock had been boosted to
$3.50 share when the failure came
on Dec. Z. 1t is said that the plan was
to unload at Sc a share, which would
have yielded profit to the syndicate
Of about S2.1O00O0.
1t was the purpose of Samuel Inter
myer to place Cameron Spear, reputed
manager Of T.. p. Ward & Co, of 115
Broadway, on the witness stand. Cam
eron was expected to produce the books
Of that firm, which had share in the
underwriting. He did not appear. how
ever, and the books were not produced.
Colonel ABE" Gruber his attorney,
promised he would be on hand today.
Mr.. Untermyer announced that if he
did not appear with the books he would
move to commit him for contempt.
Quincy Ward Boese, counsel and
treasurer of the syndicate. testified that
Mr. Loomis took an active part in it.
He said he knew nothing about Ward
& Co, who underworld 10000 shares,
and that he had been unable to find
the original underwriting agreement.
