HAL glorious fall We welcome
your bright sunshine and your nights
Of glory.
Mrs. II. w. Hundley, Of Burke
vile, has been visiting friends in and
around Farmyilie.
Mrs. j. /. Bugg is at home again
after a pleasant visit to the old home
way down South in Dixie.
The doors Of our Opera House
opened under favorable auspices and
the season promises to be brilliant
one.
The first fire of the season was
kindled in the Herald Office on the
2nd day Of September Rather pre-
mature, but it was comfortable.
The trimming Of the Normal trees
was well done More light and air
for the girls and they are best of
preventing physicians.
Mr.. Osborne HAMLET of Waverly,
is visiting his brother, Mr.. Coley Ham
lett, his first visit for 30 years to this
section.
Owing to the drouth Of last fall
many cows are offered for sale in
central New York. Mr.. Howard will
keep an eye on the situation and
pick up bargains.
\ recent visitor to our town eX-
pressed great surprise that we did
not have a daily paper When Farm
vile says the word we are ready to
make prompt response. The fact is
weekly looks mighty slow in this fast +
going age.
The work Of preparation for the
Fair is now we'll on, and the unfold
ing Of the programme promises to be
a gratifying success. But to this our
country friends are expected to make
liberal contribution
Our banks and postoffice closed on
asst Monday, the only evidence to us
If any such day as Labor Day. Sun
lay is our only rest day. In this we
make mistake, but it is our way of
LONG things.
Miss Mary Berkeley left on last
Monday to resume her duties at the
Miller school, having as her travelling
Miss King, an asso-
late member Of the faculty of that
chool, who had been her guest.
Miss Andrews, of the Normal staff,
S with us again. The Herald has fol-
owed her through the summers work
nd wanderings. A woman of splen-
lid culture and exquisite taste, and
riend of the Herald,
Mr.. A. Y. Wade is back from New /
'ork, and brought with him as a gift
o his one and only niece the sunniest
f all Sunny Jims. It's smile is
contagious, and but for the
rice for the toy, $l.25, should be in
very Farmville home.
Farmville's water bill for Farm
lille lithia amounts annually to some ,
/, 500 1t cost more to live nova
avs than it did in days gone by. Our =
)refatherS would have shuddered at
ne thought of buying drinking water
Farmville is getting to be a great
hicken center, Mr.. j. V. Orange be-
lg the latest competitor to enter the
ED. We look forward to the day
hen Farmvile will be self-support-
lg in every field of human enter
rise.
We may have triangular fight for
Re Senate from this district and if so y
lere will be hot times in the old !,
,wn. " Make it lively brothers, for y
o other chase is of interest. We of ',
lis section need waking up on the
Inject of politics anyhow.
Rev. DR.. Hatcher is at home again :,
ter a brief but pleasant rest off o
uring his absence he heard some of :,
lie great preachers of the day on the .
'eat subjects Of the Bible as with
e hands of masters they brushed
way the cobwebs of error which are Is
eng woven by the scientists ~ of y
lis day. !,
The Herald is constantly calling the N
tention of the farmers to the pro-
iety of diversified farming, and -
wv beg to add that what is true of =.
inning is equally true Of the news -
lper. Diversified reading is as de- p,
~ lie as diversified farming. Our -
quest, then, to our friends is to send %
communications of local interest
