DR.. and Mrs. Jarman are at home

There is no place like home"
And now it is said that with the
return of the preserving season SUI
gar takes leap upwards. Too bad!
The passenger station of the Nor

painted, and Herald man was first
to get stuck" on it.

All of us now know the origin OF
blue Monday" II is bill day. Blues
and bills are intimately associated
and so often misunderstanding
grow out of them. Pity that the
custom ever came to life.
BY common consent it is agreed
that the address of Mr.. r. T. Hubar
Jr.. delivered before the alumnae OF
Hampden-Sidney at the recent com
mencement, was one of the best ever
heard on like occasion.
The tobacco is growing, and the
grass and the corn. but the chickens
don't keep pace. Something mus
be done to have them get the hus
. tie on. We are used to partridge'
of certain size, but chickens of the
partridge size don't suit.
Mr.. c. F. Bugg went to Newport
News in response to a summons &c
testify in the insurance cases. Th'
rates in Farmville are the same al
those of Newport News. and Farm

good as the best. This town looks
well in any company it may enter.
The Herald job office opens at
a. m, and closes at 6 p. m. During
those hours it's presses turn out al
immense amount of work. Brinl
in your order. or send it in with as
surance Ofprompt and satisfactory r.
turns. We tolerate no dull hour.
Trucker A. A. Bigger brought t.
town Saturday wagon filled witt
a variety of table Injuries, and M
doubt returned home with big wa
of money. Farmville, instead of ia
king from his pockets, helped L
fill them. A fair exchange is NJ
robbery.
