Here is what the Petersburg HdeJ-
Appedt has to say Of the Columbia
Opera Company which will play in the
Farmville Opera House the week of
our Fair
The Columbia Opera Company OPEN
ed a season of popular-price entertain
ments at the Academy of Music last
evening in the musical comedy
"Girofle- Giroha," and gave perform
ance rarely equalled and never sur
passed by any company in this city.
Miss Carlotta Gilman, who appears in
the leading roles, achieved great and
deserved success i'm this city on a
former occasion. She is possessed Of IA
beautiful voice, and is also an actress Of
high merit. She is supported by an
excellent company, which is strong in
merit rather than in numbers. 1t was
the general remark last evening that
in tone, quality and volume, as well as
in brilliancy of execution the work of
the chorus was splendid.

The Labor Question.

Editor Herdld:-The plan proposed
10y me to make labor better has been
opposed, but no other has been offered
IN It's stead. How any one knows
plan to be wrong without knowing the
right plan Is something that | can't
comprehend. The plan that / have
given proves my point of view TO be the
best, under the conditions, that can he
given, and will stand "a the best until
another one is given. will give few
reasons why my plan is the best, and
will take up one article at a time.
First the necessity of only employing
labor by the year is that there is no
time in the year that we don't want
and need labor, and upon a well con-
Quoted farm about rs much one time
a. another.
What would be thought Of mer.
chant that would attempt to depend
upon day labor to sell his goods and
he, like the farmer has his busy days.
No, Mr. Editor, farming is not diff
ferent from any other business. To be
a success it must be conducted upon
business principles. We must not
plant crops unless we have the labor to
cultivate them properly As to har-
vesting we don't want any extra labor
now since self-binders are used to cut
and bind our grain. As for threshing
there will have to be some other ar
rangement made for threshing our
grain which | will give in some future
article. w. A. BARROW.

Mr.. Montague With Is.

The citizens of Farmville had the
pleasure, on the evening Of the 18th,
of hearing General Montague
discuss the issues Of the present ma
tional canvass. Judge Watkins intro
duced him with few well chosen
words. and the gifted orator began by
having graceful and tender tribute to
the late Judge Irving and Governor
Mckinney, and then directed his at
tention TO trusts and imperialism. He
dealt with them ably and well, but
never once descended to the role of
the BLACKBOARD OF forgot that he was a
Virginia gentleman. His manner was
nleasing. his rhetoric attractive and
his logic strong. Some one remarked
that the speaker having graphically de-
scribed the evil failed to give the rem

if is found i'm the election OF VIM.
Jennings Bryan to the presidency.
We are indebted to Mr.. Montague
for pleasant and profitable hour.

RAILROAD UNION.
Employees on the Central Vermont
Organize.

An order OF the Brotherhood Of
Railroad Trackmen has been organic
ed on the line of the Central Vermont
railway, and an increase in wages has
been asked for. Already two demands
have been made, and it is said that
unless the officials of the road meet
the committee from the brotherhood,
and hear them the men will go out on
q strike.
The formation Of the brotherhood
has been attended with great secrecy
and its organization has just come to
light, much to the surprise and con-
sternation, it is said, of the Central
Vermont officials.
A committee from the brotherhood
has twice visited St. Adams, the time
and date of the hearing having been
set, but each time, it is said, the Off
Gals called on were not at home. 1t
is alleged that the company is averse
to recognizing the union and would
rather not have it on the line.
The trackmen include section men,
foremen and track walkers. The sec.
tion men have received $l.10 day
on the main line and $l.25 on the
branch. A raise to $3.50 all around
has been asked for.
The union in Montpelier has about
Al members, and includes section men
from Mortified to Waterbury and or
the Williamstown branch. At othel
convenient points on the main lin!
other branches have been formed
taking in the whole length of the line
and also the New London division.
