The regular meeting Of the VS. wa
held in the Baptist church Tuesday az
ternoon, May lst, at 4:3O O'Clock. The
topic for discussion for the afternoon
was "Ihe Liquor Traffic and Foreign
Missions" The following points are
taken from paper written by Mrs.
{. \. Durham: "The greatest obsta-
Gle to the progress Of missionary work
today is the liquor traffic, carried from
the Christian lands, where it is legal
lied, to the lands where the heather
religions forbid the manufacture and
use Of all int0Xicants. fifth true that
the English speaking people are large
ly responsible for the introduction Of
Intoxicating drinks into the uncivi-
ized portion Of the world, then it is also
true that the redeemed among them
are not responsible for the putting forth
Of mighty effort TO counterfeit the evil
influence exerted by those Of their
countrymen who are hostile % the
spread Of Christianity, and are 50 dill
gent in laying stumbling blocks in the
way. Those whom we are trying 10
Christiauize naturally attribute our
vices, a. we'll a. our virtues, To our re-
ligion. said an intelligent HindoO to
one of our missionaries: Il do not like
your people; the followers Of Jesus
Christ drink whiskey' As drunk ~
Christian is common proverb in
all heather lands.
"After thirty-oue years spent in In
dia, Archbishop Jelries makes this
terrible charge: For one really con-
verted Christian as the proof Of mis-
sionary labor, the drinking practices
of England have made thousand |
drunkards.'
"lf the women interested in mission
airy work would also give their men,
bership and work in this society the
cause would 80 advance that heather
nations would soon feel the benefit of
its own onward march, and this
great obstacle to the establishment of
Christs kingdom be removed"

Last Tuesday night there was a very
enthusiastic meeting Of those who had
enrolled their names "a members OF
the proposed military company Of
farmville. Several meetings had pre-
viousy been held through the indie
fatigable efforts Of those two gallant
ex-Confederates, Captain ;. w. Paulett
aud II. ID. Miller. To these two gentle
men the town should feel indebted for
the untiring work which they devoted
TO the reorganization Of the Farmvllle
Guard The true necessity for mill
tary company is bound to be apparent
to all who give the subject serious con-
siderailon, and now that one has been
organized and differed in part, to those
who were chief in procuring the re-
quisite number Of names for the COM
pany the citizens, and especially prop

selected For Captain, John r. Martin;

Second Lieutenant, n. NJ. Gill. In all
there are more than sixty members to
the list and it is hoped that there are
numbers of young men who will enlis'
at the next meeting. The enlistment

ised that there shall not be more than

EdHOr Herdid;-Mr. r. +. Gillian,
who lives at Darlington Heights is an
other Of our thrifty citizens who some
years ago got tired Of renting and went
to buying. He was paying 5000 a
year for house and % acres, and for
81, 100 bought the entire premises, paid
for it on time, and is now the happy
owner Of all the houses, and all the
trees, and all the flowers, and all the
acres.
He tells me that old Mr.. Jim Mickle
must have named the place Darling
ton Heights, but where he got the
Darlington from he has no idea.
For the benefit Of mothers who have
restless children ! must mention bed
stead / saw in this home. Nothing
more nor less than goods box, about
) feet long by wide and II inches
deep. Ii had no rollers on it, but a
clean tick and clean sheets and good
blankets to match, and in that sleepy
hollow ! did see model boy of some
three summers resting more comforta-
bly, than any cricket in the corner, and
Inc couldn't roll but few inches either
way. / saw him wake from his nights
slumbers, and never were brighter eyes,
or brighter cheeks, or more restful ex-
preston.
Mothers need give themselves no
more concern about beds for children.
As a boy was always interested in
"Chickentown," Charlotte county, and
| wondered where it got its name, as
on two occasions | passed through it
and there wasn't chicken in sight.
For the third time in my life | was
there again on last Friday, and found
that the only change about the place
was in its name-it is now called Mad
ison. Capt. Pugh is still there, selling
goods i'm the same old brick store where
he has been selling them for 30 years
and more. A son is now in active
charge, aud evidently the trade Of the
old burg is still good. The lands sur
rounding it are excellent, and the
fences the tallest aud strongest / know

Mr.. J. w. ellis died last Sunday
afternoon little past one O'Clock aged
90 yeas.
About ten days before his death, Mr..
ellis was strlckened on our Main street,
with what seemed to be partial par
ralysis. He was taken to his home
from which he did not afterwards
leave. Sunday morning he was able
to sit up, and displayed more strength
and looked more improved than at any
/ other time during his illness. Soon
after returning to bed he grew
weaker suddenly and rapidly, until he
had passed peacefully away. His
physicians, friends and loved ones
ministered Increasingly in their efforts
To alleviate his suilerings and to restore
him to health again, but he had finish
ed his life work, and his Master whom
he loved 10 serve, called him home.
Mr.. ellis came to Farmville from
Buckingham county, about twelve
years ago, since which time he has
been one Of the busiest and most pOpu-
lar of our citizens He was devoted
husband and father, and while we re-
alile that no words can assuage the
grief Of the hearts made desolate by
this providence, yet To them we offer
our profoundest sympathy, and may
the shadows which now hang 50 heavily
and dark i'm their homes be lifted, and
the precious memory Of him, who has
only gone before, change the sadness
and gloom into peace and sunshine.
Mr. ellis leaves "A wife and seven
children. The children are, Mrs. II. J.
Carter, Of Prospect; Mrs. w. h. Smith,
of Gardenia; Mrs. c. b. Cunningham,
Of Farmvile; Messrs. G. w. ellis, J.
Wiley ellis, W. j. ellis and Miss
Anne Henry ellis.
The funeral took place from the
Methodist church, Of which Mr.. ellis
had long been faithful member, last
Monday afternoon, conducted by Rev
Mr.. Edwards, assisted by Rev. Dr.
Harding, Of the Presbyterian church
and Rev. Mr.. Dey, Of prospect. The
burial was made with Masonic honors.
