MONTEREY, VA.. January 3.—(Sjh-
dal.)— During the past few days the ice
barvest has been In full blast. There
aas been more or less frcezingr'wcatheV
tor ten days, and: ice has ; formod to; a
thickJiess of four or live inches. -.
A contrast between this winter"' and
iast is noted Jn tho fact that; vt-ry line
Joe had been gathered ntui many of the
hou^s :il!ed last sen son before the 15th
of November. Although our winter
dims to is regarded a* pretty vigorous,
heavy ice docs not form as readily as
mlgW. be supposed, n ml this is no doubt
due to the fact tliat all our water courses
arc made up largely of cold, spring wa
ter. These abundant cold springs,, to
pether with the comparatively cool sum
mer climate, make the demand for ico
much less urgent than in many other
sections, though the number of those
■»rho give attention to tnis harvest in
creases at h i-apid ratio each year.

Contractor W. A. Bussard is rapidly
pushing to completion the work on our
public school building, and it will be

occupied by. the schools are scattered

:~ The lUH1 U H that usual i y : succeeds t the ac
tivity and «xcitementv of! Christmas has
now set in,, arid ■everything: is:' dull and
quiet." Tho merchants 5 - are bus}-"; taking,
inventories and many, of them find that
the Christmas trade was "the largest iri
this history, especially dealers in bric
a-brac, and: fancy ; goods. The number of
presents made, was-'unusually large and
notable. On the whole, the past y£ar has
been- one of marked '-.prosperity -.and* in
creased business expansion in Bedford,
especially^ for. the; farmers; and: producers
of products ■■•essential^ for domestic-con
sumption. ■=.<;_
BIG SALES; OFJ TOBACCO;^
Bedford City -has ;i now become; a to
bacco center of ■■ considerable interest and
importance/the sales- from : January 1,
1902, up to December: 20th being- 3,500,000
pounds, exceeding all past records. -The
figures obtained, except for a fall""of>a
few days from a glutted market, have
rufed high, and :the planters are much
encouraged, and- in ;the : main the county
is more prosperous than at any time
sinco the "civil war." The increase in
freight receipts ; has assumed such largo
proportions that the depot which onc*e
upon a time was ..adequate for -all; the
demands of passenger travel as well as
freight and express, -.with .room to spare,
cannot .now accommodate the freight
alone. To m'oet this demand additions are
being made to the freight depot thatwill
add to its appearance and convenience.
. The : most notable advance of the year
has been in the postoflice and the ever
increasing business .transacted there.
The establishment' of .the six rural de
livery routes will add greatlyto the busi
ness of this the central' and distributing
office. Postmaster, W. H. Mosby has vis
ions of a large, handsome government
building in the near future. . . %
The reflection, of increasing' prosperity
may be noted in the 'prosperous showing
of the two banks; ; the Peoples, a local
institution, established -in May. 1901, haa
quite a phenominal exhibit of its status
and its business is steadily increasing.
WHAT IS NOW NEEDED.
.'While many new buildings have be=en
erected, the fact remains that not a house
can be rented in the town. The new
houses are built as homes for their own
ers, and strangers who would like to
reside here are forced 10 leave for lack
of accommodations. The crying needs of
Bedford are a first-class, modern. hotel,
where families may. board, more dwelling
houses for rent, a large,, comfortable puu-
He hall to supercede the inconvenient,
unattractive room styled the "opera
house," and the passenger station, re
turned to the confines, of .the town ; from
its inconvenient; location in the. country.
The cold weather" of the Christmas st**
soii "afforded the opportunity for .filling
ice houses, and the young people enjoyed
a carnival of skating. .
The holiday tide has been marked by :
numerous card parties among the ladies;
none of them Very largo, but all occasions
of sociability and good cheer.
SOME OF THE ENTERTAINMENTS.

spacious rooms and halls, which were
elaborately decked with/evergreens, holly

with light and fair forms of young peo

The entertainment was given in honor
of Misses Eliza McDaniel and Del Ham

young hostess in receiving the guests.
The guests wero masked, and great fun
was enjoyed in ■ trying to guess their

successful and received the pretty award.
Dancing was the' chief pastime, and It is
needless to" tell that it 'was v:n joyed with
the happy abandon of youth. An elegant
