FarmviIIe's Progress.

FARMVILLE, VA, December 2s.-(spe-
cial)-The year now drawing 10 a close
has been the most prosperous in this
towns history so far as outward appear
ances are concerned. There has been
more building of the substantial sort go
ing on than ever before, and one who saw
the place before the destructive GONNA
grafton in January last would scarcely
recognize the old places where once stood
the large barn-like wooden structures
commonly seen in small southern towns
Upon the sites OF nearly every one OF
the large number of houses destroyed in
January by fire have been erected three
and four-story brick buildings. and the
general Improvement of the towns APP
pearance by them is remarked upon by
everybody who visits the place. Besides
the work of building by enterprising citi-
Zens Of the place, the town authorities
have made some permanent improve
ments in our public thoroughfares. Third
street has had one square paved with
yitrified brick, and IL the work is durable
the Council will no doubt appropriate
another sum during the next year for
further work in that line.
Another part OF the town In which
there has been made wonderful improve
ment during the present year is Main
street. Several stores have had handsome
iron fronts erected and the structures
otherwise improved. Besides these, a
number Of new and commodious build
ings have gone up during the twelve
months past. In all, during the year
there have been built In Farmyille in
1898 not less than score OF buildings
that are credit to the place.
The Baptist people of Farmville con-
template the erection at an early date
a new church edifice,. and the report goes
that II will be the handsomest building
OF the kind in the place. Farmville has
some very pretty churches.

NEW PANAMA CANAL COMPANY.
Overtures to This COuntry-AIIeeed
Superiority of Panama Route.

LONDON, December 29.-Tho Paris cor
respondent Of the Times says:
"At the meeting of the New Panama
Company to-day wednesday,, in addition
to showing that no definite plan has yet
been adopted for the completion Of the
canal, the report refers TO the American
interest I'm the Nicaragua canal since the
Hispano-American war, and indicates the
means taken TO acquaint the United
States Government and the American peo-
pie with the position and prospects of the
Panama canal. on this point it says:
1--WE have offered to place at the dis
posal OF the United States every facility
for examining our works and plans, which
will easily convince them OF the supe-
riority, from all points of view, of the
Panama route. They will find in the
treaties existing between them and Col
ombia, and in the facilities allowed by
our statutes, all the guarantees and adj
vantages which their national interests
can reasonably require. The Panama
route is indisputably the maritime high
way which can be opened to navigation
In the shortest time and at the least ex-
Dense"
