Meherrin Musings.
Editor Herald:?During a i
visit to this ancient and attractive bu?
siness center I was impressed with
the quiet but progressive spirit of the
men of affairs and the comfort of its
homes. Nobody seemed to be in a
hurry but everybody was "getting
there." Now that the Virginian
Railway has furnished another
ry of trade the life blood should flow
with a quickened throb.
Veteran "Archer" Haskins is still
on deck and continuing to contribute
largely to the history of Meherrin as
has been his wont to do since he stop?
ped "wearing the gray." By the
way he has the best stock of war inci?
dents, many of them full of fun and
others pathetic in the extreme. The
next time you meet with him get him
to tell you the story in which Comrade
' Somerfieltl Dance figures conspicu?
ously. It is worth repeating.
Mr. T. C. Haskins, a "chip of the
old block," is branching out in hu-i
ness vedtures and is building a num?
ber of attractive residences at Altivis
ta. He has great COnfdence in the
future of that young city.
Mr. M. F. (iee, one nf the ieadillg
' merchants of the place, is "up and

[ hands and other feet to contribute tn
