1t isn't often that the f. q p. jumps
the track, and then it is careful not to
hurt anybody.
1t is subject Of universal regret that
Nj. Mettauer Worsham will leave for
Atlanta on the lst Of April.
Messrs. Wiltse and Crale entertain
ed the Whist Club, in royal manner,

On last Friday night the b. Y. p. L.,

entertainment and sociable in the
lecture room Of the Baptist church.
Our veteran liveryman, Mr. A. A.
Cox, is just out from an attack Of

Rev. ;. II. Thompson spent several
days Of this week at his old home near

The new coal mine being worked

will help swell the crowd, and the
crowd will help win the victory.
No one need get lonesome on the
f. q. p. 10 matter how much the train
may be delayed. Capt. Gillian is the
Prince Of hosts, loves to talk and talks
well. We are indebted to him for a
pleasant evening when the train was
of schedule by some two hours.
Farmville will make sad mistake If
the offer of a market house is rejected.
OF course, laws regulating the sale OF
green groceries, DC outside the mar
ket should be reasonable, common
sense laws, and we doubt not our town
council will make such restrictions as
will be satisfactory to the promoters OF
the market house enterprise.
There are sixteen portraits Of the

women for public organized work.

touches his subject most sympathetical
