Saturday afternoon dark clouC
came up from the Southwest and fo
an hour the heaviest rain fell that ba,
ever been witnessed in this section.
The rapid rise in creeks and river.
became alarming, and they soon flowed
beyond their banks and spread widely
over large area Of land.
Grocer's Branch, a small stream
which flows through the town was
higher then it was ever known before.
1t carried away bridges, fences, small
houses, pigs and fowls. 1t rose to a
depth Of three feet in Cox's livery sta
bic, and extended in width from South
To Middle streets. There was one or
more narrow escapes from drowning
OF persons endeavoring to save stock
and property or trying to cross the
stream. Every bridge in the town was
damaged, some Of them being lifted
from their fastenings and carried away.
A fish pond of Mr.. w. II. Burger
was broken, also the ice pond of Mr.
g. +. Chappell. Three hogs belonging
to Mr.. G.. +. Cox were drowned, and
dozen dwelling houses had their first
floors submerged.
The rain, which came up suddenly
was accompanied by lightning, thun-
der, fierce wind, and destructive hail. !
But little hail fell in Farmville, but It |
Is reported from the nelghborhood of |
Prospect that great damage was done
the wheat, oats and other crops Of that
section by the hail stones. 1t fell with
such violence that the bark from trees
was split in some places, and in such
quantity rs that several inches lay on
the ground after the storm had passed.
The streets of Farmville and road.
ways of country are in dreadful condi-
ion, and VIII require weeks Of labor
md large expenditure to repair them.
In many instances bridges have been
washed away by the rivers. Saturday

Put The Courthouse Back.

Editor Hordid:-I am of opinion
that if the courthouseof Prince Edward
had not been moved from Worsham
to Farmville the seminary would never
have been moved To Richmond.
Would 1t not be well fo, Farmville
even now TO consent to the return of
the courthouse to the old site, and So
help to keep Hampden.Sidney where
it now is? Farmyile isn't dependent
on the courthouse, but Worsham is
a dead village hurts Farmville and
hurts Hampden-Sidney Let's be un-
selfish and repair the injury Of removal
rs far as we can. The old courthouse
and Jail can be restored at slight cost
and the old clerks office is in good
repair Farmville can utilize the pres
ent courthouse square, buildings and
all. Some one will open "A good hotel
at Worsham and it will be a luxury for
Farmville's business men to drive up
there once a month. And then we can
have another mass meeting in Prince
Edward. JUSTICE.

There may be hypocrites in the
church, but that is no just reason
for staying ont of it. There are
plenty of good Christian men and
women IN 1t, whose piety is undoubt-
ed, with whom one may associate to
his honor and benefit. 1t is also 10
be remembered that the world is full
of the hypocritical, and that he who
stays out of the fold of Christ keeps
company with them. The manly and
worthy thing for one who has faith
in Christ to do is to confess it boldly
and stand by his colors. Christ re-
quires a public confession of His
truth and grace before men. He has
no love for the coward. He that is
ashamed of his Lord will rue it at
the day of final accounts, when Je-
Sus will be ashamed of him. 1t paws
