A GLIMPSE Of BYG0NE.

Mr.. J. W. Crute, of Cumberland,
dropped into the Herald Office on his
last visit to Farmville and together we
lived over some of the days long dead
and talked Of those things that gave
them charm and beauty.
Somehow Old Aunt Bessie, " the
cook, occupied prominent place in the
retrospective programme, and we
agreed with this queen of the kitchen
that the introduction of the cook stove
banished from the land the only per
feet cooking ever known on earth.
Old Aunt 'BeSs" was so satisfied of
this that until the day of her death she
continued to bend over the ovens and
handle the pots in front of wide
open fire place from which she could
always get the burning Goals and into
whose hot ashes she could with conf
dence trust the corn meal dough.
The loaf, the beat biscuit, the waffles,
the buckwheat, the pastry, the baked
hams, the turkey Drowned on the spit,
the fried chicken, the barbecued lamb
that came from this perfecting furnace
are all gone, and gone forever. When
old veterans meet and talk over such
departed glory they drop a tear and
pass on into the future grateful that
they are blessed with digestive ma
chinery equal to changed conditions
and ready for cook stove innovations,
Nor did we forget the boys and girls
who frightened and blessed by years,
nor the fathers and mothers whose
precepts and examples rested as living
benedictions, nor the sermons we
heard from the old pulpits, nor the
fishing, nor the fish Stories nor
the breaking of colts, nor the courting
of the girls.
Thanks for a pleasant half hour.
Call again. The latch string hangs
well on the outside.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.
Interesting Reports From Committees.
The Creamery Question.

There was meeting OF the Board
OF Trade at the Courthouse on last
Monday evening which was well at
tended. DR.. Anderson, who attended
the Good Roads Convention. which
met in Richmond, gave good account
Of the meeting, the enthusiasm which
marked it, and anticipated practical
results to follow.
Major Martin gave assurances of a
Fair next fall
The Creamery however, was the
subject of absorbing interest and was
discussed at length and vigorously.
As is known Messrs. Jones and
Bancroft have been with us for some
time working up interest in the gen
eral subject of a creamery to be es-
tablished here, and they reported the
sale OF s., 800 Of the stock and their
readiness to begin work at once and
press the matter to conclusion. They
have agreed to furnish a complete
plant and capable man to MANAGE it
at the cost of S., 200. This proposi-
ton was reported fayorably by the
committee having the matter in charge
and the Board adopted and confirmed
the report.
Mr. WarTier Of the Industrial De.
partment Of the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company was present and
having been accorded the privileges of
the floor said the plant could be in
stalled for the sum of 81, 700. up-to-
date and perfect in every detail. but
the Board decided that as Messrs
Jones and Bancroft had given Of their
time and money TO create an interest
IN the project and were ready to build
the plant at an early day, they should
be allowed to do So The conclusion
to which we have come is that these
gentlemen are ready and. able to con-
Suihmate What they have undertaken
to 90 and that in the near future we
are to have the Creamery in full work:
INC order. That it will mean much
for Farmyille and the surrounding
country no one can doubt. But cream
cry and cows must 90 together. They
can not live apart United they flour
ish, divided and failure follows The
farmers will look after the COWS and
furnish the milk.
During the discussion it was stated
and not denied that each cow would
be worth to the owner S25 a year in
manure furnished the farm and this
added to the daily product from the
animal makes of her a more valuable
property than we had thought her to
be.
After the Creamery, What? In and
about Farmville we have room enough
for an army of manufacturing plants,
and we have the labor ready for the
work. Let them come and find
glad and cordial welcome.

women of Farmville who are now
banded together in the cause of tenn

with the hope that I may not be mis-
understood, that it will in no wise pro-
mote the sacred interests they have in
charge and upon their hearts, to re-
Quire of the members to sign pledge

found that they were not going to have
holiday on George Washington S birth
