The Farmville herald. [volume] (Farmville, Va.) 1890-1934, 1899-05-12

Length Of days is important, Of
course, but it is not all important.
There is something much more to be
sought after than that. Lengthen out
your life, if you will, but broaden out
your heart at the same time. Living
long is one thing, but in comparison
with living long and aimessly, there is
something much better, and that is to
die in the harness of effort. Mere lv-
ing like a sheep is perhaps harmless,
but il is not human nor humane. The
bodily shell of the soul is and should
be cared for to make Of it the best pos
slble covering for the precious thing in
side-much as one would devote care
to the casket that contains a jewel
but how foolish to give all the care to
the casket. BY taking thought to ones
self the years may be stretched out a
long way further than now, but what
is all this dread if earthly salts i'm the
bones from meats and from coffee, if
there the anxiety ends? If distilled
water is to have its perfect work in
you, it has to take you out of yourself
and give you broader heart, other
wise the whole effort is selfish. You
can live to become a wonder Of old age
for the curious to stare at but that does
not mean enough. If your mead has
been bowed down like the OK simply to
the "wherewithals" Of life not caring
for compromising the universe nor
even that particle Of it that is repre-
sented by the very simple word Of
"neighbor," your life will have been
long and fruitlessly long. Such living
reminds one Of the very old oaks that
are occasionally seen in England
perfect maryels of age and of decay.
But so far as having fulfilled their
utmost they would have better been
cut down in the prime Of strength to
give Of it to others, than to simply
stand as harbors for all that is I'M
pleasant and destructive in old age.

There is always one danger in this
sort Of writing to a general list Of read
ers-the fear Of creating a feeling of
discouragement in the hearts Of those
who realize that, at the best, their
lives are always likely to be narrow and
hard to toilers and such who are held
down by stern necessity to one place or
to one task. Yet such a feeling Of dis
enlargement is not proper for after all
the tasks Of the world are many and
no one person can do them all-the

Length of Life- Several years az,
when ou a long tramp from Philadel
phia to Virginia, I spent one day in ,
town where an old lady lived, who
had seen hundred years roll around
As my object on the tramp was to see
all of interest that could, a call was
made upon her, as her relatives were
always glad to exhibit her, a. il were.
to visitors. Her appearance bore out
all that was claimed for her as TO age,
for she was terribly wrinkled and
almost always in a sort of waking
stup0r When it came to asking what
she had seen or done during a century
that Will always stand pre-eminent as
one of extraordinary progress, her
daughter had only this to say and said
it with pride: Mother never was
more than fifteen miles away from
where she lives now, and she never
took much interest in what was going
ON anyway, and besides she never had
ridden yet on steam ear"
Again on a trip through the State of
Connecticut, heard of another lady
VINO had also passed the century mark.
called there. The experience was as
unsatisfying as the other had been.
The good woman reminded one in
every way Of an infant-she was
peevish towards those who waited on
her. she had no more control over her
self than is usual with a child, and her
only way Of walking around was by
pushing a chair before her, just as
child would do who was beginning to
walk. The visit was not very extend
ed one.
These two instances of the very dis
tressing aspects Of extreme old age,
which can be added to in almost every
neighbOrho0d, are mentioned as prelim-
mary to a few thoughts in relation to
the preset formation in various places
Of what are called Hundred Year Clubs.
The real object of these clubs is not so
much perhaps to enable all the men,
bers to live for full hundred years. as |
1t Is for the study Of longevity. That |
is good in itself, for hale and hearty |
and effective old age is a beautiful and |
delightful thing, and it could undoubt-
sdly be enjoyed by great many more |
han do now enjoy it, were a good deal
more thought given to the VISIONS
md the proprieties Of life. Any effect
# the Hundred Year Club in this
Erection will be good and good only.
But | suppose man may be per-
nitted to question the value of a mere
extension Of life for itself alone. What
S the joy of looking back over long
lie Nothing, unless there is stretched
long the way the evidences of useful
less and Of high character; unless here
he grave Of some buried weakness and
here the monument erected to COM
nemorate triumph over self; unless
Iere kindness done and there a good
less displayed, not TO the world but
My to the object on whom it was
one. That is life. But it is surely
othing to contemplate with calmness
hat there is coming day when one
will be only nuisance to oneself aud
burden to others; or that the back
'ard glance will show nothing but
taste and heedlessness Of all the
recious things that life well lived
an contain.

For Your Consideration.

Is it not fact that values have in
creased more on the Barre and Montpe-
!ier road than in any other section of the
city? Is it not reasonable that they
should? Take into consideration the little
available Building Land between the
two cities, Barre and Montpelier. Don't
take my word alone for this statements,
consult any intelligent citizen of
either city on the subject. Buy
Land between these two cities.
Buy now, before it is too
late. DO not buy at "dighland Ter
race" if prices and location are not per-
fcctly satisfactory, but be sure and get
some land between these two cities
somewhere. Remember this one year

KILLED IN A CYCLONE.
MRS. SHERBURNE A BARRE LADY
ONE OF THE VICTIMS.

st. Louis, April 27.-A special to the
Globe Democrat from Kirksvlle, Mo-.
says:
A gathering storm that had been
threatening all the afternoon broke upon
Kirksville at 6 80 o'clock tonight in all
the fury of cyclone. A path aquarter
of a mile wide and as clean as the
prairie was swept through the eastern
portion of the city. and four hundred
buildings. homes and mercantile houses
were levelled to the ground in scattered
ruins.
In the heavy rain that followed the
people who had escaped turned out to
rescue the injured. For two hours not
much was accomplished as all was con-
fusion, but by s O'Clock 25 dead bodies
had been taken from the ruins. 1t is
confidently expected that the list of dead
will reach between so and Go, if it does
not exceed that, Almost a thousand
people were more or less injured.

FORMALLY ORGANIZED
LAST NIGHT.
James Barron is to be the

Several of those interested in the
game of foot ball gathered last night in
the e. G. N. U. rooms and were formal
ly organized, so that now every minute

President T. Brock and the minutes OF
the last meeting read by p. McMorrow.
Next report regarding the fact that
the lessees of the park had given the
free use of the ground to the CLUB.
Next a set of rules was adopted prac-
tically the same of those of former
years.
George Booth, who at the previous
meeting had been elected treasurer, re-
signed his position owing to the fact
that he does not intend to remain in the
city during the whole season. John j.

branch OF the &. G. N. IT,, WAS elected
to fill the vacancy. The match commit
tee elected was as follows: James
Elrick, Alex Ross and James Barron.
James Barron, who is we'll known
AS one of the star players of the club
was nominated as captain and unani-
mously elected. For vice-captain VIII
liam Bernice was elected. Alex Ross
was next elected as trainer, and finally
the auditors elected were James Elrick
and James Hector.
There was some discussion about the
various details, one of which was that
ii was decided to have the uniforms con-
sst of white shirts and black CHECKERS" !"
Arrangements will be made at once to-
wards raising funds and some of the
boys will pass paper among the yari-
GUS business men for subscriptions to
the funds. There is no question but
that good tidy sum will be raised and
that we can be assured of some good
games this season.

G00DHUE
WINS AGAIN.
The City Council Bought the
Barre Water Co.'S. Plant
This Forenoon.
They Have Nothing to Say
on the Subject. Price
to be Only $130,000.

AT a special meeting of the city coun-
Gil this forenoon in E. w. Bisbee's office
with Mr.. G. l.. Goodhue and others
present, the result of all the late execu-
tive sessions was "sugared Off"
At one time the city Of Barre could
have purchased the Barre Water Com
pany's plant for $40 0.000, but on account
of certain tactics indulged in by some,
the chance was let slip, and Mr.. Good
hue got the under hold.
Although no records of the meeting
are to be had at the city clerks office,
and although all the aldermen and the
mnyor have been as mum as goysters.
yet it is practically Il certainty that they
purchased the Barre Water Company's
plant for the city this forenoon for
$l30,000.
What do the citizens think Of the
price? AS they have to vote upon the
bonds to raise the purchase money they
will soon have an opportunity of ex-
pressing their opinion to the officials
they created, and the officials who are
acting for them in this matter. If the
majority of the voters think the price is
all right, then the rest might just as
we'll agree with them; but we doubt if
the majority will think it all right
