RicbmOud's Carnival is the summer
talk Of the Capital City of the Com
monwealth. Farmville's Fair will be
the summer topic as well as summer
work for Farmvile
Committees are busy arranging pre-
liminaries, and you might greatly aid
them in this work without interfering
with yours. Especially could this be
done in the matter of special premiums.
There isn't a merchant i'm Farmville
who can not secure the the offer of one
or more special premiums from firms
with which he has dealings. Clothes,
plOws, wagons, buggies, fertilizer, hats,
shoes, harness, &c, &c, &c Write to
parties from whom you buy, bring the
matter TO their attention, and responses
will come promptly. This should be
attended to at once, As the premium
list is now in the hands of the printer,
and specials are entitled to conspicuous
place. Don't read this suggestion and
then dismiss it from your mind.
Whatever victory Farmville wins you
share in it If the Farmville Fair is a
success, it is in part yours Whatever
hurts the town hurts you. And this is
true of all the surrounding country.
Town and country are one, and the
union has been ordered and blessed of
heaven. Let not man put it asunder
We know Of farmers who have
planted with reference to the Fair, and !
OF housewives who are busy now with |
the same goal in view. And just here |
we beg to remark that most of the |
premiums will goto our country friends. !
1t was tobacco grower who carried of |
the largest purse last time. This will |
no doubt be true again. Everybody |
can't hope for premium, for If 50 there |
would be no propriety or reason for
offering one, but the deserving, let us
nope, will win. Judges are not infalli-
BILE, and alas, none of us are. The Fair
promises To be "A success. Help to make
il SO. This means yOU.

"Harc 10 STAY at Home 10 Work. y

Editor Hcrdld.-Dr. Barnes, who
represents the county of Nansemond,
in the State Convention, tells this in
cident to a reporter Of Richmond
newspaper: He was passing a school
house in his county, in front of which
the little negroes were so thick i'm the
road that ii was with difficulty he
could make his way. A mile further
on he met small white boy with a
still smaller sister, and he asked them
if they were going TO school. The an.
swer came and startled him: "No, pa
and ma can't spare us, and we have to
stay at home to work" The doctor
added: "The white children ara forced
to stay at home TO make the money To
pay for negro education, and this is
mOnstrous." 1t isn't hard to tell how
the doctor will vote when it comes to
the question as to whether or not this
condition shall continue.
Here is another important question
which addresses itself to members Of
the convention who are called upon to
decide what should be done with re-
ference to the whole system Of public
schools in Virginia. Are the negroes,
as a class, improved in morals, man
ners, heart or head in the past thirty
years? There can be but one answer
to this question. NO. Education,
then, hasn't helped to elevate. Why
0aste more money? Away with senti-
ment and let's use good common sense
in dealing with this important subject.

The following is the prayer offered
by Rev. DR.. McIlwaine at the opening
Of the Constitutional Convention. II
reads to Us like the earnest longing of
"A devout man Of God rather than an
eloquent address to please the fancy Of
man
Almighty God the author Of all
good, the source Of every blessing, we
look to Thee in every event Of life for
Thy directing wisdom, and for Thy up
holding strength, and more especially
in these important events Of life when
great issues are at stake. We desire TO
acknowledge Thee, and now that this
convention has been assembled we
pray that Thy Divine blessing may
rest upon us as body, and upon each
one Of Us as individuals that we may
be guided by Heavenly wisdom that
we may be directed by the omnipotent
spirit Of God, in things that are true
and right and are just and are Of good
report; that there may exist from the
very beginning to the very ending Of
our meeting, the support Of harmony
Of fellowship, and Of concord, which,
every mind. shall enable Us,
with one another, to come |
to those wise and just conclusions |
which shall be for the benefit Of the |
whole Cofamonwealth, and for the
blessing ofeyery individual who lives
in it. Oh, God of q ace, who alone art
sufficient in Thine own strength, who
art our helper, we look to Thee and
pray that Thy Divine blessing may
rest upon us in the work which Thou
last given Us to do and upon the great
work which is committed to Us, so that
n everything the Divine glory may
ubserve the best interests of mankind.
All Of which We ask, for Jesus sake.
Amen.
