OVERALL FACTORY ASSURED.
STOCK ALL SUBSCRIBED.
Site To BE Selected And The Work
Soon To BE lnaugurated.

There was an enthusiastic meet
ing OF the parties of interest in the
establishment of an overall factory
in Farmyille, which was held at
the First National Bank, on Tues
day evening, when the gratifying re
port was made that the stock of
$4,000 had been a" subscribed,
and nothing remained to be done
but to select a site and put the ma
chinery in motion.
Under the plan of organization,
Farmville parties are to own S13,-
O0O of the stock and Ohio parties
$4,000 The consolidated COM
pany will retain the old name and
be known the Mead Overall Com
pany, under which name it is al
ready well known the country ov-
er, and enjoys enviable reputation.
The Company of late has not
been able to fill all orders made
upon it, but with the larger capital
and increased facilities for doing
business this will no longer be true
of it, A committee, consisting of
Messrs. c. f. Bugg, J. L. Hart and
Z. Scott Martin was named to select
a proper site, but it has been
thought best to have the Ohio man
ager to aid in this work, and he
has been notified by telegram to
come on.
And let us hope that this is but
the beginning of other and many
new industries. The Farmville di-
rectors are G. NJ. Robson, V. Val
den and H. +. Barrow.

The Rebel Yell.

Ex-Sergeant Miller drove into
town Saturday afternoon with his
country chariot loaded with young
children, and as the procession NOV
ed down Main street the "Old
Reb" made the air ring with the
Rebel Yell"
Many of his friends got to be anx-
iOus to know the reason for the
outbreak, but one of them remark
ed. 1T is easy of explanation Now
that friend Bob is a genuine hay
seed he doesn't read the papers
regularly and has just heard of the
news from Maine"
The pent-up enthusiasm just
had to find escape through the
medium of a safety valve and hence
these shouts of triumph. And with
him they always assume the form
and force of the "yell."

Fine Fishing.

During a recent visit to Hamp-
den-Sidney. Mr.. II. W. Edmunds
went "a fishing" in the pond on
the farm near by, known as Slate
Hill, and pulled in bass weighign
four and four and a quarter pounds.
He describes the luxury of catch
ing as thrilling, and then that of
eating only a little less so. And
when "Ben" Cox reads this item
of news the town of Farmville nor
the Normal engagement will hold
him long. 1t would be well, how
ever, to get permission of the pres
ent owner before casting in the
hooks.

accepted The trust in a few well
chosen words and pledged her 10y

the duties incident to it. The new
president has been an earnest work

of Ohio, and her zeal will know
no abatement as she prosecutes the

"HOme Coming Day"
Arcanum, Va, Sept. Goth

Arcanum, Va, Sept. Goth
Mr.. j. L. Hart,
Dear Sir Some mention has
been made in the Herald about the
Home Coming Day. at the Farm
vile Fair, and what suitable man
should be chosen to welcome the
home comers.
l nominate for the position Col.
RIB. Berkeley. He is prominently
fitted for the occasion, a dear low
er of Farmyille, and champion of
her interests, in season and out
of season, that means all the time
and under all circumstances; and
optimist at all times-sentiment
and poetic in his nature. and withal
the ability 70 express his thoughts
in chaste and ornate language and
I'm the purest English.
You may look the State over and
fail to find a man more fitting for
this pleasant duty than "R. b. b."
Whilst the Fair and its success
to promoters and exhibitors is on
my mind. l venture to make a sug-
gestion to the management that
believe will be an improvement in
a small way. It is this: Place the
pens for the sheep and swine out
in the open where the judges can
see them-the space between the
two warehouses is ideal spot-the
horse stalls are too
dark. neither exhibitor or judge
has fair showing. Horses and
cattle can be led to the light for
not so with the sheep or
the swine.
In past years when the man
agement has honored me with the
position of director in the sheep de-
partment l have noticed this dis
to the exhibit. and ask
to be pardoned for "butting in"
with this piece of unsought advice.

No Epidemic Of Fever.

Editor Herald:-From an adyer-
,isement which appeared in the last
issue of the Herald, some people
might conclude that Farmville was
threatened with an epidemic of
typhoid fever.
The doctors who know best Of
such matters say there is no iusti-
fication for any such statement. The
health record of the town is fine,
and though there are always some
sick folks in this and all other COM
munlties. there is no semblance Of
an epidemic of any nature.
Ordinary prudence suggests the
propriety Of drinking pure water at
all times, but to sell it no alarm
need be sounded.

THE PICK OF PICNICs Il PICK-

The Last OF the Season and One
OF the Best.

The clouds obscured the sun of
the early morning of last Friday,
and it was thought that the Pickett
programme would be postponed, but
later in the day the phone got to
be busy and in due time the stew
was "a bling" the crowd began
to gather. the dance was inaugural
ed and all went merry as a we'd
ding bell"
In absence of the banjo the Jews
harp was brought into requisition.
and willing feet kept time to its
moving strains. Congenial parties
formed on the benches, or sat on
mother earth, and social converse
ran high.
When the stew was pronounced
done, the hungry crowd gathered
about the table and the attack was
fast and furious. The old flavor,
the old charms, the old taste, anoth-
er more than creature comfort.
The last of the season, but pro-
phetic of those to follow in seasons
yet to come. mine host" Pickett,
has the thanks of a community Of
friends for another pleasant day
under the shade trees that stand
guard around the fountain of
health"

all whose names have scores to
