Appeal For Corporation.

FARMvILLE, VA, April oath, '99.
Editor Herdid:-The ladies Of the
Farmville Chapter Daughters of Con-
federacy, have requested me to make
an earnest appeal through the columns
of your paper for a mass meeting OF
the citizens Of Farmville and of Prince
Edward county, to meet them at the
courthouse, at o'clock on Thursday
evening, May the 4th, to consider the
best plan or plans by which they can
accomplish the much desired object of
erecting a monument to the Confeder-
ate soldiers of our county. These ladies,
with the aid of the Prince Edward
Memorial Association, have determin-
ed that this work shall be done; it
ought to be done and now that the
ladies have taken hold it will be done.
We have already in our treasury
between six and eight hundred dollars
for this purpose. This is about one
third Of the amount we need.
Now, Mr.. Editor, there is, l think,
but one question TO consider along this
line, and that is, are those old and
tried veterans entitled to be thus hon.
ored, they who barred their breasts and
stood like stone walls in the very fore
front Of battle and did valiant service
for their homes and country? Many
Of those dear boys now lie buried in
some part Of Virginia, some in our
own beautiful city Of the dead, while
Others lie IN other states in unknown
and unmarked graves. Heroes every
one, tried by fire and never found
wanting.
Now, fellow citizens, land in this l
include all the ladies', let US each one
be up and doing. We can build if we
will; the spot for its erection has already
been selected.
Now friends, young and old, heed
this call and meet these ladies and their
assistants at the courthouse, and do all
in your power to aid us to build this
monument.
In order to gain your attendance and
make your time pass pleasantly we
have requested one Of our old vets to
portray, ooe or more of the campaigns
of the army of Northern Virginia. He
is competent and Will interest you
greatly. On behalf Of the ladies beg
that you come.
Yours to count on,
(The Old Reb) S. w. PAULETT,
President Prince Edward Memorial
Association.

Roads Again.

I There Is no visible reason why Prince
Edward should not this summer begin
It's era Of road building. The first
road TO be built should come out of
Farmville-that built the rest will
follow.
There is every reason to believe that
having built good road from Farm
vile to Hampden-Sidney this year
that during the next year the county
would make beginning on all of her
important roads and in two or three
years complete them. The cost of
roads here is not very great. The
means can be had and the whole coun-
ty will benefit from these roads and
Farmville especially. Yet Farmville
seems to be slow in awakening to the
fact that she can easily inaugurate
system of good roads. Is there in
Farmville no man who has the interest
of his town, or the interest of his coun-
ty so much at stake that he cannot
effect the organization Of an intelli-
gent and efficient good road associa-
ton and build the one mile Of road
necessary to begin this work? Is there
in Farmville no business man who can
see that by forming such society that
he will be repaid by increase of business
many times for labor, time and money
expended? Why must the council be
appealed to? The council has the
streets to see to and should do it. The
citizen of Farmville is one Of the county
as well. Do they wish the farmer to
do all the work?

THE MOTION OVERRULED.
A New Trial for Price, the Slayer OF
Hall Carter, Oenied-To Be Sub
miited 10 the Circuit Court.

A New Trial for Price, the Slayer OF
Hall Garter, Denied-To Be Sub
mited TO the Circuit Court.
The county court was again IN ses-
sion Monday. IL was for the purpose
of hearing argument Of counsel on
motion for a new trial Of Thomas w.
Price, convicted Of the murder of Hall
Carter. The reasons for asking for a
new trial were based upon the follow
ing points:
/. That testimony had been admitted
in regard to the prisoners being under
the influence Of liquor that should not
have been permitted to be given.
l. That w. G. Franklin, the assistant
prosecuting attorney, closed his argu-
ment with these words; Gentlemen,
find the prisoner guilty of murder in the
first degree and yoI will return to your
homes with clear copsciences and the
approval Of the best people in the COM
munity." Judge Crute here stated that
he called the attention of the Jury to
this at the time, aud instructed them
in regard toft. -
3. That the verdict was contrary to
the law and EVIDENCE.
After heariJg az counsel had to say
Judge Cru,e replied that he could see
no JUstifiable reason for getting a new
trial, and that he would therefore over
role the motion.
Last Wednesday afternoon Mr.. Price
was brought into court and received
for the second tine his sentence to
death. The Court told the prisoner
that he would give him the last day
possible which was the 5th of July
pext. The sentence, therefore, was
that Thopss w. Price, the prisoner at
the bar, be hanged by his neck until
he be dead, the execution to take place
between the hours Of a. M, and 6 p.
M, Oh Wednesday, July 5Ih, 1899.
Mr.. Price stood up and heard the
sentence with little or no apparent
appreciation of its awful meaning.
He walked over to several friends and
shook their hands and remarked that
he had no hard feelings against any
Lying person, mot even excepting
he SAID, "my dear old friend Asa Wat
kins," referring to Judge Watkins
becarse he was the leading
prosecutor in the trial. The prisoner
was Immediately taken back to Jail.
In conversation with several gentle
men, si1ce his trial, Mr.. Price said he
could not blame the jury for their
verdict as he himself could not see I
how from the testimony any other
could have beed arrived at But he
further said that several witnesses
whose evidence was material, were
strongly prejudiced against him, and
Of ooe Of these witnesses he said he
1.-THE witness) would not hesitate to
kill him, but for fear of the law. Mr..
Price is holding up remarkably well
and says he never felt better in all his
life.

BAPTIST CHURCH,
Address BY the State Secretary of
the Y. M. G. A. On the "Word of
Cod

At the First Baptist church Sunday
morning Rev. Judson B. Palmer, of
Galveston, Texas, state secretary of
the Y. Nj. @ A. made most interest
iug address on The Word of G cd. -
especially the four gospels. The fol-
lowing is part of what he said: I
suppose there never WAS a day when
people read the Bible so much as now.
Aud yet there is comparativ ely little
real study of the word. Many read
their daily chapter with their mind )
Moody's boy who had to drive a stake
in the ground every time he stopped
hpelng the turnips in order to know
how far he had hoed, they have to set
up a stake SO as to tell where they
stopped. How is it with you? Again,
there are many who read, but under
stand very little of the word.
Now there should be a remedy for
this. This is the greatest book in the
world to day. No other book is com
parable to this. More than two thous-
and times we read, Hear ye the word
of the Lord". This book claims to be
the voice of God speaking to us. Nc
other book, not even the sacred books Of
other reiig ions make such claim Al.
though this book contains sixty six diff
ferent books, gathered in different
parts OF the countries, by different
men, comprising 'genealogies, history
poetry, biography, prophecy and the
ology yet all complete in design and
unity. There was never time whe1
we needed so much to emphasize the
importaI ce of such book, whose cen
trail theme il, Redemption by the blood
of the lamb, the Goldman. Hence we
need to understand this book as W
read it. How eau we do this?
FIRST, get comprehensive view OF
the book. Look at it ia the light of the
above stated facts, it's claim. its varied
books, subjects and writer's all focused
into e. central theme.
Second. always get the setting of the
p ,ssage, who wrote it, what object h
had in view, when, where and to whom
writer n, what were the circum stance
and conduit ms of writer and the peopl,
to whom be wrote. If we will slwsy
do 9his, thousands of hitherto Difficult
passages will receive the fash-iigbt o
the Holy Spirit and their mesring re
come as clear to Us as the rays OF tht
| nooday sun. Many persons try to ia
terpret the gospels just as they DO tn
epistles. But we can't do that. The
epist!es themselves cannot all be in
terpreted alike. The gospels them
| selves cannot be interpreted alike. w
| must get the setting of each and in
! terpret it according to the rule that i
gives us.
And now want to help you in you
