Grass and Cows. But No Tobacco

Grass and Cows. But No Tobacco
Mr.. W. b. Gates was in town on
Monday, fresh from the hay fields
where he is harvesting a fine crop OF
hay, though not up to the mark OF
last seasons crop. His corn is a
record breaker.
Mr.. Gates no longer grows tobac-
co, devoting his whole time TO grass,
grain and fine cattle. This last he
is making a speciality. and finds rea-
dy market for all he has to offer. He
ships his cream to Richmond, and
has been doing so for the past sew
en- years and to the same party, Mr..
Shepherd, who has paid him some
thing over $4,000. It is mistake to
say that tobacco is the only money
crop of this section.

Cherries in July.

Mr. Benedict, who came to tba
county some three years ago froa
Wisconsin, and who owns and works
the Ritter farm near Hampden-Sid-
ney' was in town on Saturday re-
joicing in the fact that he now lives
under Virginia suns where they
gather cherries in May and not in
July as they do in Wisconsin. And
In his yard stands the decaying
trunk of genuine May cherry tree
that used to bear abundantly though
this season it only bore a few
quarts.
We suggest to Dir. Green. the
owner of the nursery plant. to res
produce the old tree and give ss
again the best cherry ever known
in any market.

Learn To Swim.

That was a shocking accident
which occurred in Richmond last
Sunday, when a father stood on the
banks of the river to watch his two
bright boys sinking in the fast flow
ing waters.
OF course he leaped to the rescue,
and not having learned to swim
when himself boy, rendered no as
sistance, and was only saved from
drowning by a brave youth Of "A

of riding the waves, and who in

that at the root of the trouble Is the
power Of corrupt money which still
gives small rewards In comparison TO
the favors It receives. 1T GETS he
