Help the Poor.

Few people know the restitution
that exists in our very midst. We are
informed by Mr.. a. f.. Cralle, the
chairman Of the poor committee Of the
town council, that there are in Farm
vile some persons who have not a
change Of clothing, and some Of these
are unable to work even though it
were given them. The council is sup
plying the needs of these poor people
as far Is the law will allow, and it is
the earnest hope Of the Poor Commit
tee that the citizens will give aid to the
sufferers. We are requested to say
that any old clothes that have been
east aside will be gratefully appreciated
if left at the store of the Farmville
Commercial Company. Mr.. Cralle
promises that he will personally dis
tribute all articles Of wearing apparel
left there. Heed the call for help.

MIR Editor, If any Of your readers
think that the above (mis) quotation
applies 10 Us Fools Corner folks they
are mistaken, for from early morn TIL
well any old time, the farmers are in a
hustle, cutting wheat, planting tobac-
co, plowing corn and doing all sorts of
things. Sometimes a man rides up Ia
the p0st-oilice III gallop, asks for his
mail and Is gone again.
The wheat crop is right good consid-
ering the dry weather we had in May
and early in June, and more wheat
was cut by white men i'm Buckingham
than ever before. ReasOn-two of
them-more reapers and self-binders
in use than ever before, and secondly
the cOlOred men who used to carry the
wheat cradle are now welding a pick
in the coal mines Of West Virginia.
The time is near at hand when colOred
labor cannot be had on the farm and
then the white men will buy more Of
labor saving machinery, and inciden-
tally will put their ground in condi-
ton to use machinery upon, get of
rocks and stumps so that drills, now
ers, reapers, &c, can be profitably used.
