The Willard Harvey Theatre Com

Thos. w. Price, who is by the act of
Governor Tyler serving life term in
Mle penilentiary for the murder Of Hall

peniteutIary.
Our friend, Mr.. Walter H. Richard
son, is the champion farmer of the
ages, aud yet he never seems to be in "a
hurry aud spends more time in the
shade than the average Wall Street
broker. He emphasizes the fact that

do this kind Of farming, and so say we
all. He is never found IN the dumps, "
never made an inferior crop, never
complains Of dry or wet, heat or cold
aud is as true to Southside Virginia as
is the needle TO TN pole.
