ness men and to the city generally
The discussion was started by W. u
HALEY of tne Rhodes Burford Furni
ture Co, who deplored the buying
out,of-town habit of the people
Cairo. Mr.. HALEY was enthusiastic
on the subject Of checking this in any
way that might be practical; and he
would start right AT nome," among
the merchants themselves and their
employees He contended that eyea
the few present at the meeting could
start the ball rolling by pledgiaa
themselves at once to buy nothing
outside Of Cairo that they could ge.
in Cairo, nor permit any of their EN-.
ployes to do so on pain of dismissal
from service. He declared that this
rule had been posted in the Rhodes
Burford establishment and would be
strictly adhered to.
On Mr. Halley's motion resolu
ton was unanimously adopted deelar
Ing 1t the sense OF the meeting that
all members Of the Retail Merchants
Association subscribe TO and be boun5
by the rule referred to, and Seoretat
Johnson was directed to so notify Al

In the course Of the discussion OF

ing buyers and had failed to put fort
Proper efforts to get and hold bus

Mr.. J. W. G. Fry and by Presider
Carnes, as exemplifed in the parti'
failure of the fare-rebate scheme, fc
which $500 had been raised an
spent, and which was not being ca
ried into effect properly, becau'
some of the merchants refused
stand by the promises made to bn
ers from neighboring towns.
MIR. HALEY spoke with enthusias
of the need of arousing the busine,

THE HERALD's CHAGRiN.

The Herald prides itself ON be-
ing an intensely local paper and
its ambition is to be week after
week a faithful mirror of communi-
" happenings. And yet the man
agement experienced keen regret
when last weeks issue failed TO
contain account of an interesting an
impoi tant social function that was
celebrated within the gates OF Farm
Vile.
Ignorance is no excuse in our
courts, and yet it is just.iiabie plea
In the conduct of a newspaper. We
must in many cases look to others
for information upon which 20 base
correct report, and failing in that
we are left in deplorable ignorance,
and our readers must share with
US the misfortune.
It will not do to guess that a
marriage is to take place. or that
a death viii occur. or that some
people viii go and others come. Be

then. is that we may be advised of
what takes place therein ct which
the public has any just and proper
interest. Kindly advise she paper

give the facts so that they may
be prepared for the tender care Of
the linotype.
That our readers earnestly de-
sire 20 know OF happenings OF local

gent and appreciative reader. who

From the eo-e with which "fio-
ry' takes that basket on his head,
il was thought that he was born
lame, but he informs the writer
that he came from Charlotte to
Farmville 30 years ago, a strong
man, and received his injuries while
working for a railroad contractor,
who only paid him fifty dollars, and
turned him out to limp his way
thro Igh life.
He was grateful. however, for
the fifty, and doesn't grumble nor
beg.
