Sunday School Organized.

Editor Herdtd:-A union Sunday
school was organized last Sunday after.
noon at the home Of Mr.. Bailey, who
occupies the old Hard Times home
stead, some three miles west Of Hamp-
den Sidney, with Mr.. n. G. Jones a.
superintendent; Jno. Bagby, assistant
superintendent; Pom Butcher, secre-
tary; Jos. Chernault, treasurer. The
attendance was large and the interest
prophetic of a working school.
1t was divided into four classes, with
Mr.. Pom Butcher, teacher of class No.
/; Miss Irene Booker, class No. ,; Miss
Lou Chernault, class No. 3; Miss
Carrie Bagby, class No. 4.
In these days when Theological Sem
inaries are removed to city luxures,
and as result preachers will prefer
city pulpits, earnest laymen must take
up the country religious work, or it
wi not be done.
Such Sunday schools as this one just
organized are powers for good. Mem
bers Of different churches will "dwell
together in unity" and work harmO-
niously, and the God Of the churches
will bless them. VISITOR.

move tremendously in one room, but
they did 1t gracefully and well.
At 1880 a sumptuous supper was
served, and then the dancing was re-
sumed to be continued to the early
hours Of the morning.

Stockholders Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting of stockholders
of the Farmville Building & Trust Co.
was held Tuesday afternoon. The re-
ports Of the president aud secretary
showed the company to be i'm most
excellent financial condition. A very
desirable feature Of the company is the
recently incorporated clause in its
bylaws requiring as the maximum
time only ten years in which to ma
ture a loan account. This is definite
period to which borrowers may look
with satisfaction. The officers of the
company were all reelected. They
are as follows:
DIR. Jas. l.. White, President; Jno.

The Coming Fair.

We mean the coming Farmville Fair
You may 90 to the Buffalo Exposition
and the Richmond Carnival, and we
would love to go with you, but what
most concerns us is the home effort
We wish well to everybody, but little
better to Farmville, Prince Edward
and sister counties.
And the next Farmville Fair must
be the best Of the series. But to accom-
plish this money and men are needed.
Did the last fair pay? We mean did
it pay i'm cold dollars and cents? We
believe it did and a full hundred fold
This return did not, however, COM
pare with the social results, the COM
munity benefit, the good to fellow man
meeting with fellow man and receiving
direct and permanent good. All this
can be repeated and improved on. A
few men are ready to do the work, no
play about ii either, and the many
should be willing to pay the bills Not
a dime to be wasted. Get your check
book ready. Give freely and don't
grunt about it.
