The Farmville herald. [volume] (Farmville, Va.) 1890-1934, 1900-10-12

MISS Mary Is. Daniel, Oh OunOeiidnui
left last week to take charge of public
school near Salem church i'm Bucking-
ham county.
Mr.. Edward II. Richardson had the
honor bestowed upon him Of receiving
the state scholarship at John Hopkins
University.
We were glad to have with US at our
Fair representatives from Richmond,
Danville, Lynchburg, Roanoke, Pet
ersburg and Norfolk.
The foot ballers took possession OF
town early this morning and made
things ring and hum. More about the
game i'm our next issue.
We never knew why sun flowers
were so called before as we do now,
that we have seen the samples on ex-
hibition at our exposition.
Where neighbors unite IN common
effort to produce community good, the
nelghbor who fails to make some con-
tribution must feel lonesome or cleft
When 90 out Of every 100 people in
place look to the front and the one
looks to the rear he must see nothing
but cloud and darkness, and well nigh
despair.
There are some Of us who always did
know that tie cooks of Southslde Viz
ginia were the worlds best cooks and
now everybody who attended the Fair
knows it.
Every time we hold Fair we learn
how the better to conduct them. That
of 1901 will be an improvement on that
Of 1900, and we all know it has been
"daisy."
The "merry-go-round" never fails to
draw. Young folks and old folks alike,
love TO be whirled. Lovers in the same
swinging car do look altogether too
lovely.
Messrs Charley and Branch Mckin-
ney, Of Atlanta, and their sister, Miss
Louie, who is studying in Boston,
were called TO the bedside Of their
mother who has been seriously i'll.
We somehow regret that monument
dav should have been associated with
Fair day. Either could well have 'stood
aloneu and we would love to have given
TO each every moment from sun to sum
They were friends, however, and no
friction between them.
II isn't unusual to read Of serious ILL
ness among students Of other institu-
tions Of learning in the State, other
than Hampden-Sidney and the State
Female Normal School. 1t is pity
that all colleges of the state cannot be
located in Prince Edward.
All Of Farmville has been son the go"
for the past few days and are the better
for il. Even a rude shaking up is good
when il shakes one out Of the rut. We
do not confuse sold paths" with ruts.
There is nothing in common between
them.
We have not been booming this sec
ton Of Virginia on the poultry line,
but from this good hour we will begin
TO. No better chickens ever crew, no
better ducks ever swan, no better tur-
KEYS ever gobbled and no better geese
ever grazed. All the sheep at our Far
had not attained the age Of 300 years,
hut pair on exhibition had passed the
triennial mark.
DIR. Anderson and Mr. Lee Morris
are "to home" again and have been
busy shaking hands with friends who
have given them a cordial welcome.
Their visit abroad was full Of pleasure
and profit, but they agree with DIR.
Talmage, who said: 1.-THE best thing
about going to Europe is coming
homep There is no place like it.
Where do the "fakers" come from
ANYHOW? who are they? and what's
their mission in life? They were with
MS in full numbers, and still the ques-
ton remains unanswered as to where
they come from. One thing is certain
they are going to the next Fair. There
il fascination about their stands anc
wheels for some people, and it may b'
that fascination is their part in life.
Our Main street was handsomely
and artistically decorated for the Fair
II is so easy to do thing after yo'
begin to do it And was this displa.
of bunting aud stars and stripes vast
ed? The man who says so isn't goo'
citizen, and we very much fear isn't
good man. However, people have DIFF
ferent standards of goodness and W
don't pretend to be keeper Of any man
conscience.
