Judge Moss set aside MS contrary To law
and the evidence and granted new
trial. which was set for the May term
of ihe county court The verdict was a
surprise to nearly everybody. as it
could not be understood 10y outsiders
how Eppes was guilty at an if not
of murder m the first degree. The
plea of the defense ia the trial was that
OF insanity, as it is said that there was
mo- motive for the crime brought out by
the prosecution.

when uuin street Was Paved

Farmvllle has paved only one block
Of lis public streets i'm the past seventy
years. That is, if we are correctly in
formed, it was IN the year 1929 that
our Main street was laid with rock.
and it was during the past few months
that one block of Third street was
paved with brick. The excellent
effects of this side street being paved
are now apparent to all There would
scarcely be any bottom to the mud ON
that thoroughfare this winter judging
by the condition of other portions of
the same street. We believe that the
town council should buy a rock crusher
and road roller and along with regu-
larry employed labor to do the work of
making permanent streets all Migrants
and tramps should be made to assist.
We are living in too advanced an axe
of civilization 10 have such streets a.
we now have. 1t is not an uncommon
thing 10 see the strongest teams stall
within a stones throw Of our Main
street with small load, so deep is the
mud. We do hope that some steps
will be taken at an early date to inn
prove not only the streets Of Farmville
bat ;he country roads as well.

A Very Generous Oner

Apropos to the question Of good roads
for Prince Edward, which is being
agitated to some extent at present, the
town and county are made most
generous offer by one Of our valued
citizens 1t is this, if the town will
macadam the road for one and half
miles commencing at the head of Main
street and running towards Hampden-
Sidney, and Hampden-Sidney will
there take up and complete the work
for another one mile, this gentleman,
As one individual, will make and
donate to the county one mile, provided
che county will complete the road to
the college. Could any offer be more
generous? We think not. Then let
the authorities for both town and coun-
ty take tine matter up and act at once.
Weare informed thataround Charlotte,
n. c., there are mo- more rock beds than
are 10 be found i'm the bills of Prince
Edward. and yet the roads around that
North Carolina section are considered
among the best in the entire South.
Reliable information obtained from
that locality show that the average cost
for macadamizing is 81 200 per mile.
If our authorities deem it unnecessary
To- make r0ck-bed roads all the way the
gentleman who has made the liberal
offer above referred to says That they
may eXpend their money on only the
worst places and he will still be willing
To contribute one mile Of macadam, it
matters not what the cost may be.
