should over do. An even pace and a
regular one will win.
Have you recently drawn a contrast
between the old and the new depot?
We don't understand how we got on
with the old one thro' all those years.
And yet many tender and precious
memories gather about the old spot
and will not let go.
The tackle is being gotten in order
and "Bre'r Benz and brother fisher
men are fixing their eyes on the best
pond for the early spring venture.
Luck TO you, and "lest you forget" we
remind you that we have decided
weakness for the perch from South
side Virginia pond.
Some folks hypnotic and Others
don't. We must conclude that some
persons do get under the spell for
clothed and in their proper mind they
could not be quite so simple and
clOwn-like. 1t is a subtle influence
at any rate that one man exercises
over another and never fails 10 excite
interest.
Some Of the depOts on the Farmvile
aud Powhatan road are falling into
decay while there are dwellings stand
ing in sight of that road bed which
are in good repair though they were
built 80 to 100 years ago. The differ
ence between "heart' and "sap" tim
Der is immense The former has we'll
nigh disappeared, but the latter seems
destined to remain with Us always.
Ifyou didn't 60 to church last Sun
day you missed golden opportunity,
but if you did 90 to church and return
TO your home with no more charity for
your fellow men than when you went
church going with you was time vast |
ed, opportunity unimproved, privilege
misused TO whom much is given, |
much will be expected.
There is no wonder that the Japan
csc are good fighters, for we are told |
that they habitually eat in moderation,
they battle every day, and wear the |
cleanest and simplest Of clothing, they |
regularly drink large quantities Of
water each morning, and take deep
breathing exercises. All of which .
mean they don't have dyspepsia.
We saw one of our house wives
standing in her yard the other day
looking anXiously into her garden,
and as we drew near, she said: 81
am watching my husband TO see that
he doesn't over exercise himself.
am afraid he will work too hard.u
Such caution is rarely necessary.
Most husbands avoid work in the
garden as they do poison. This gar
den did look, however, as though
somebody worked it and well.
\ thirteen year old Normalite re-
marked in our presence the other day
that next to Napoleon, Oyama was
the greatest soldier of the ages" As
the girls Of the Normal are often dis
cussing some subject, we respectfully
suggest for the next debate this, which
is the greatest General, Stonewall Jack
SON or Oyama? Arrange your forces
for the fight, and give Us invitation TO
witness the battle royal
The Herald latch string hangs well
On the outside and we are always glad
10 see and greet our friends, but we
must respectfully ask that our ex-
changes shall not be removed from
he office before we have had time to
ook over them. We cannot always
ind time TO read the papers on their I
arrival, but it is our privilege or should
be to read the papers before they are
AIKEN in hand by others.
The court days Of the present are
not the court days Of by gone, but
What is there Of by gone about the
present day any how? Yes, there is
he same old sunshine, the same song
# bird and smile Of chest girl" the
anne sweet spring time, the same love
# county and Of home, the same old
.apaci,y to hope and remember, and,
ct us hope the same old power of
aith and charity.
