Mrs Hunt has been more fortunate
in that in one day her store was crown
ed with all the glones Of spring and
many Of the full blown blossoms Of
summer
All that 50 delighted her visitors on
opening days, Wednesday and Thurs
day, Of this week, was the result Of her
own good taste in selecting in the city
markets, and never before were fairer
colors, richer plumage, lovelier orna-
ments or more artistic shapes and
trimmings gathered in a Farmville
store. Bright eyes grew brighter as
they Toasted on the new styles of the
new spring, and on Easter morning
the brilliant store scene will become
a panorama Of beauty, Frightening our
homes, our streets aud our churches.
Costly as thy purse can buy; neat
but not gaudy."
Let that be the buying motto, and
then the seller and the buyer and the
payer will all be glad and grateful.
So long as flowers adorn our gardens
and our heavens are brilliant with
stars, there can he no objection to
new bonnet at church or a new hat
on the streets.

home in this place at IL p. m, Of the
3rd inst, after brief illness Of pneu-

Mrs. Hooper had been in declining

trials with Christian cheerfulness and
resignation.
Her realm was her home and there
she reigned as loyal wife, devoted
mother and modest yet gracious hos
tess. As neighbor she was unseliish,
thoughtful and helpful As Christian
she was humble, trustful and loving.
Three sons and one daughter survive
her, and she left them the priceless
heritage Of "a good name.

good school is very promising. May
God bless them in their noble work is
the prayer Of their Sandy river breth-
rem, and we are ready to offer help
ing hand in any way we can.
BY the unanimous consent and wish
of the brethren the name of the chapel

ing his short pastorate on this field TO
build the chapel at that place, and for
whom the people cherish the strongest

Editor Herdid:-The reason you

weeks with Grippe. There is not
family for miles around that has

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Harris, near

DIR. Holiday was asked not long
since what were hissofiice hours, said
he did not have any now as he had not
been at home an hour at the time for

The wheat as a general thing is look
ing beautiful, in some places it seems
to be winter killed. From the number
Of plantbeds seen in every direction
there will be large crop Of tobacco
planted. But very little gardening has
been done.
If Farmville had to depend entirely
on this section for her early spring
chickens she would go lacking am
afraid, as even those who have young
chickens are losing them. Others
complain of their hens not setting well.
| reckon we will all have to resort TO
the incubator in the future.
The scarcity of feed for horses and
stock for the past two winters has
taught the farmers a lesson. There
have been more oats and cloyer seeds
sown than for some years.

Yesterday morning Judd Cosby,
nineteen years old, was shot in the
forehead by Isaiah Williams, both col
ored. The boys are employed in the
butchers shop Of VI a. Rice, and were
fooling with their employers f0rty-four
calibre pistol. The weapon was in the
hands Of Williams when, it is said,
that it was accidentally discharged.
The ball struck Cosby IN the forehead,
Just above the left eye, and merely
penetrated the skin. DR.. White re-
moved the flattened bullet, with little
difficulty, and the negro went on about
his daily work. When the pistol was
discharged Cosby was standing not
more than three feet from Williams,
and it il considered very remarkable
that the negro was not killed outright.
