THE ANGlRA COAT
VALUABLE FOR ITS FLEECE.
Substituted for SILK and Out Of Il
Sail Cloth is Made.

Now that Mr. Phelps has brought
the Angora Goat to our county it is
we'll TO know all we can learn of the
animal, and we invite attention TO the
following:
The great value of the Angora goat
lies i'm It's fleece, or mohair, which
hangs from all parts of the body in
long white, silky ringlets, sometimes
TO the length OF eighteen inches, though
the average is about ten. From it are
made the popular and durable mohair
and briliantine dress goods, blankets,
robes, sail cloth, underwear, and nit
tens. On account of its luster il is Of
ten substituted for silk. The plush
which is used i'm the seats and cush-
ions Of ears is made from the fleece Of
this little animal. Rain coats and
bathing suits are now being made Of
mohair cloth. The long hair of the
Angora is also used to make all kinds
OF Wigs, switches, nets and hair orna-
meuts. If properly prepared, the
pelts can be made into beautiful rugs
and robes, and are used as a trimming
for coats and furs.
The average registered goats clips
from three to five pounds of mohair,
the price varying from Is cents to 81,
as determined by the fineness. Two
puze winners exhibited at the ST.
Louis Exposition were remarkable for
their neeces. One yielded fourteen
pounds, greatest length eighteen inch
es, which sold for S43. The other shear
ed sixteen pounds, most Of it over
twenty inches, ten pounds going at s.
pound. Both Of these goats were
from New Mexico.
Take care Of the Angora, and while
we may not find the lost "Golden
Fleece" we may convert his fleece into
gold.

Making Merry And Money.

The students of the Normal have re-
Gently given two entertainments in the
Auditorium, and while they delighted
their friends who honored them with
their presence, received substantial
financial returns as reward for their
efforts.
As we have been advised, the re-
ceipts from the two evenings amount
ed to something over $50. As the ses-
sion closes, and Annuals have to be
prepared, the student-body issubjected
to considerable expense, and this
money is to go in such direction. We
are told also, that the troup will visit
Crewe, and perhaps other sister towns.
We beg to say, in advance Of their
going, that the people who can, should
hear them.

LETTUCE TO THE FRONT.
A New MOney-Raker 10 the Field.

Mr. Goggins, of Pittsburg, was with
us one day last wees looking over the
lettuce field and was greatly pleased
with conditions and outlook, He was
taken around by Nh II. w. Edmuads,
the pioneer i'm the new enterprise, who
knowing well what is being done eX-
planned the workings IN all its details
Mr.. Goggins repeated what be had ale
ready written and that is we need fear
10 glut in the matter lie is prepared
TO handle a carload a day i'm his own
city, and it should be remembered
that Pittsburg is but one of the cities
of our country. There are but one
half million plants growing in our
midst, and as Nh Edmunds says, if
they were shipped TO New York the
same day they would hardly make
dinner for that people.
An agent of the Express Company
also called on Mr.. Edmunds and said
the company would act in earnest
sympathy with the growers and give
them every facility for handling the
crop. So we have buyers, growers and
transportation men in active co-opera-
ton, and nothing remains but fer
April to come and we will be receiv-
ing new money from new sources in
this section Of Virginia.
And just here permit US to throw a
banquet at The Herald in this connec-
ton. \ gentleman has just come TO
Prince Edward fro II the State Of Mich
igan and bought one of our farms hav-
ing been led to do so from what he
read in The Herald on the subject of
lettuce culture in this immediate sec
ton. Never forget that printers ink
plays an important part in the history
of this people, and Of all peoples who
have printing presses and who have
been taught to read. We have much
to encourage US, but should never for
get that as "eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty" so it is the price OF
other things Of value. The opening
up of a new field Of enterprise means
new effort, new thought and new
push.
The lettuce business with Us IS yet
in its infancy, and we will watch il
we'll and see that it grows and natures
into splendid manhood. And we will
always remember that an old "Con

Prospect PIeaSeS.

Editor Herald: When it is my privi-
lege to visit Prospect | am impressed
with the fact that every prospect
pleases. " Not that find granolithic
walkways, or electric lights, or flow
ing fountains or moving street cars or
brown stone fronts, but that do find
a spirit of sweet content and breathe
an atmosphere redolent Of the home
life. And yet I also find some of the
most enterprising business men Of this
section of Virginia
Bob" Carter is not only good
merchant but good farmer as well,
Ed. " Taylor has brought this quiet
town in close touch Of the markets Of
this and of other countries, while
Tom Henry" Glenn has taught the
world how to work the best garden in
the Southside, and to supply a table
with the best food known to the child
rem of men. And now jim" Harris
has developed into the champion let
tuce grower Of all the community. His
entire garden is devoted to it, and
none of veteran Edmunds immediate
followers are going to beat him in the
race. And then Carter, Garden, HiX
and others have gone into the onion
business, and expect to reap returns
as satisfactory as our lettuce friends
are looking for. An agent Of the
Norfolk 6 Western started the new
venture, and the hope is that the yield
per acre will amount to 400 bushels,
and as fifty cents a bushel has been
guaranteed, there must be money in
it. Any how, good farmers have un-
dertaken the culture and they are not
accustomed to fail at ventures OF the
past.
Mr.. Thos. w. Crawley is still the
patron saint of the educational forces
here. and with able assistants is con-
ducting a school Of more than fifty
scholars to the satisfaction Of parents,
and to the uplift Of the pupils under
their charge The past is not all bad
and the modern not all good, and here
they have in happy combination the
past, rich in experience, and the pres
ent thrilling with hope.

The Express Business Of faFmVilIe,

Not many years ago the Express
business of Farmville was conducted
in a corner of the office in the freight
depot of the Norfolk and Western. An
ordinary wheel barrow could have
furnished transportation for the in
creasing and outgoing express matter.
Now a large store room on one Of the
principal squares of our Main street is
devoted to the housing Of the bundles
and packages, two agents are in charge
of the receiving and the distributing,
with a strong horse and a capacious
wagon at their command to aid in the
work. Look about you, and watch
Farmville grow.

{. |. EVANS DEAD IN
SOUTH BOSTON
Ex-MayOP and Prominent Business
Nan Dies While Walking In Yard.

T. J.. Evans, well known citizen
of South Boston, died suddenly of ap-
ploxey about $3.50 O'Clock Monday
morning. He was in his front yard
when stricken. The news spread over
the town rapidly, and was a shock to
his many friends.
Mr.. Evans was fifty-two years of
age, and a member of the Presbyterian
Church at that place. He had been a
resident of South Boston for the past
twenty-six years, and was at one time
capitalist. lie was a member of the
Town Council number of times, and
was also Mayor Of the town two terms.
He was engaged in the lumber bust
ness for a number of years.
He leaves a wife, who was before
her marriage, Miss Minnie Blanton, Of
Farmville, and ten chiIdren-Nlisses
Mildred Pattie, Nita, Elizabeth, May
land, Dorothy, and John, Edwin, VIII
liam, and Trent Evans. The funeral
took place from the residence Tues
day afternoon at O'Clock.
The many friends of Ned Evans,
as he was familiarly known to us, were
greatly shocked on Monday, when a
telegram was received announcing
his untimely death. He came to
Farmville when a boy, livedwith Major
A. r. Venable, Jr., for many years,
graduated from Hampden-Sidney
wooed and won the partner of life's
ioys and sorrows here, and on leaving
to make his home elsewhere, carried
with him an abiding and tender in
terest in all that concerned him and
his. When honors came to him, and
he was greatly honored by the people
of South Boston, we shared in the joys
they brought, and have rejoiced through
4. the years that have come and gone
that until now no death-shadow has
fallen upon MS nome.
Mrs. Evans had been a recent visit
or to our town, and by her cheerful
/ presence, gave new brightness to our
social circles in which she moved, and
now that she returned to her own
home to sit in the darkest shadow that
ever fell on her way, her friend:
would sit with her to share the sor-
row, and so far as human sympathy
can help, drive away the darkness.
Mayor and Mrs. Blanton attended
the funeral services, and we are told
that South Boston never, in all its his
tory. witnessed a larger outpouring
of its citizens on like occasion, anC
that their friend, our friend, rests II
their city of the dead, " under
wilderness Of blossoms.
