in Sunny Side.
A calf with two perfect heads was
born a few days as;o on the dairy
farm of J M. Blanton, Sunny Side
Cumberland county.
Dairyman manton brought Um
freak to Richmond and exhibited it
lo Health Chief Leay. Ptotnroa ot
it were taken in the photographic
studjo of the health department.
The dairyman said he killed the
freak calf in order to save the COW.
"You made a bad m'atake." the
health chief told him. "You should
have killed the cow to save the
calf, which would have been many
times of greater value aa a freak
than the cow as a milk-giver will
be to you." .
"Darn a farmer anyhow," ejacu?
lated Mr. Blanton, as the truth of
the health chief's statement dawned
upon him. -Richmond Newa-Li
Old Cumberland is on a boom, lt
is producing chickens with four legs
and calves with two heads. and
fried chicken is good and calf bead
stew is fine.

MEETING QF^UARQ OF TUM.

Tlu> Overall J'art/M.v S<??iii- To l&>
Aaasnrait,
At a meeting of the Farmville
Hoard ol' Trade, which was hold in
the court room on last Friday eve?
ning, but one subject ural up for
consideration, and tnat one th-'
ill factory. In brief, tin.,
situation. An owner and
such a factory, now loci.lei] j., Rich
w,.od. Oil to rein.iv.- the
plant to Virginia, and alter looking
over the situation seems to prefer
Farmville as the center of in
rations. His plant is valued I
n thousand and five hundred
dollars, is in full work and with or
'? ders largely more than can be filled.
This plant Mr. Mead, for that ls
jibe owner's nani", proposes to bring
to Farmville and increase his force
ti un.' hundred operatives provld
I ed the citizens of the town will sub?
scribe to thirteen thousand dollars
of the stock. And this, as we are
advised, is to be preferred stock.
Leading busltteas men have the
matter in hand and on their I
and we feel that there is go in the
scheme. Before the meeting adjourn?
ed some ten thousand of the stock
had been subscribed to and no doubt
the whole will be readily taken if
lt has not already been taken. To
buy a thirty thousand plant for
a thirteen thousand invest merit
strikes the business man as a good
bargain, and this ls what is pi
Od tO be done.
The Herald has long been hoping
for a larger pey roll for Farmville.
and with om- hundred operatives at
work in this factory a decided move
on that line will have boen made.
We are told that one citizen of
Lynchburg was nady 'to take the
? k Perm vi Ile ls as.k
ed to buy, and the thing that in
the owner to [liefer I-'
ville rather than Lynchburg is the
fact that he believes the labor may
lie more certainly secured here and
aper ra'es. We have been ad
thai th.- old knitting building
?an be readily converted Into such .
- of the
new industry, and fortunate is it ,
hat we lune such nucleus around
which to rally. Mr. .1. Taylor Thomp?
son has personally inspected the
.)hio property and is satisfied with
tvhat he saw and beard. ,

Hogshead Halting.
It is interesting to watch the .
uaking of hogsheads in the fae- .
00 Third street They are
urning out now some fifty each day
nd the demand is eijual to
apply. We notice that it takes two
len to make a hogshead. No ma ,
hinery ai rel for putting a hoop
round a hogshead, and one has to tt
hold while the other ties." We N
ave been wondering if the time will 3|

On last Monday, the 11th. Mr. Pi

nd when we remember that the es
iring has been dry. He used only ni

Leila E. White, relict of
the late Dr. Janos L White, died

ter an illness of weeks, lust past the
hour of noon on last Saturday, the

A. M., of last Monday, and was'con?
ducted by lier pastor, the Rev. W.
E. Hill, who was assisted in the sea
vice by tbe Rev. H. M. Fugate, of
' the Baptist Church.
The ceremony was a simple one.
but will live in tim memories of fla?
