The following deserved compliment
we take from a Hampden Sidney cor
respondence of the Richmond Dis
patch:
"a gentleman cognizant of the facts
states that Miss Minnie V. Rice, for
some years teacher in the public school
Of Farmvile, and latterly Professor of
Latin in the State Female Normal
School of that place, has during the
past few years, as side issue, and
apart from her regular duties, prepared
twelve youths in Latin and other stu
dies for Hampden- Sidney College
Ten of the twelve have graduated, sew
eral with high distinction, and two
now have an excellent standing in the
college classes. OF the ten graduates,
three have given themselves to educa-
ton as their hfe-work, one of whom is
a professor in the college; four to the
ministry two of whom are actively en-
gagged in the work; one to farming; one
is promising young lawyer in Allan
Ia, Ga, and one a civil engineer in
Charleston, w. Va. These facts show
clearly what an earnest, intelligent,
and accomplished young woman can
do by diligent effort for the community
in which she lives and for society at
large. What a blessing it would be to
Virginia and the South if every town
and neighborhood had just one Minnie
V. Rice to influence, Inspire, and in-
struct its boys during her hours of

physician that he would never walk

Publication Condemned,

AT the Norfolk preachers meeting on
Monday, DR.. A. Coke Smith offered
the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas-An article in the Rich
mond Times of April 18th. concerning
the matter of the Twentieth Century
Fund discussed in the Norfolk preach
ers meeting misrepresents the facts,
and is calculated to injure the cause of
the Twentieth Century thank-offering
by making wrong impression Of the
discussion among the preachers, there
fore,
Resolved, LIST. That in the discussion
before the preachers meeting the ques-
ton Of the right of the principals Of
different church institutions to solicit
contributions from members Of the
church was not denied; but merely the
expediency Of such a course was ques-
toned.
End. That no charge Of poaching was
made, nor in that nature Of the case
could be made against Rev. James
Cannon, Jr., nor against any other
representative Of our church institu-
tons.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers aud grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation OF I'M
digested food, regulate the action OF the
liver, stimulate the nervous and or
ganic action of the system, and that is
all they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by II. O.

We were shown a copy of The Amer

Military Meeting.

A meeting was held in the court
house Tuesday night to hear the report
of the committee recently appointed to
canvass the town to see how many
men could be gotten to enlist for the
reorganization of the Farmville Guard.
This committee was composed of men
who bear the interests of the town at
heart-men who are workers and ex-
confederate soldiers who did valiant
service in days when mems souls were
tried. They were Captain 5. w. Pau
lett, r. ID. Miller and o. Il. Wicker.
The report was made that 81 Of the 80
names that are necessary, had enrolled.
While there was painful lack OF
interest in the meeting on the part Of
our older citizens and business men,
vet those who were there threw en-
thusiasm into the occasion, and it is
the hope that yet the required number
of volunteers will be obtained.
Another meeting will be held tonight
i'm the courthouse and let every man,
young and old, who feels the impor-
lance of a military attend.

Another SLIGHT Fire.

Last Friday, between eleven and
twelve o'clock fire was discovered In an
upper bedroom to the residence of K.
w. Bartlett, and but for the timely aid
of neighbOrs and the work of the MEM
bers of the household serious con-
fiagration would have followed. The
damage was trivial and fully covered
by insurance. No public alarm was
given as it was soon found to be I'M
necessary. 1t is not known how the
fire originated.
