 The influence of refrigeration on the fruit industry is treated in an article prepared by William A. Taylor, assistant pomologist in the Department of Agri- culture and printed in the year book of that department. In the first part of his article Mir. Taylor reviews briefly the de- velopement of fruit culture as feature of the agricultural progress of the world in the last century. One hundred years ago, he says, there was little commercial fruit culture except for wine and for local needs, except in the districts where prunes and raisins were grown for dry ing.

Mr.. Beal was a man Of Ghe physique
and apparent excellent health, and the
fatal turn Of his illness was unlocked
for by his friends. A trained nurse

all that physician and friends could do

disease.
The deceased was forty years Of age.
He came to this place from Albermarle

Constitutional COnlenti0n-The Race
Onrsflnn.

Editor Herdid: In former article
Oh the Constitutional Convention the
question of negro suffrage, was refer
red 10, and also the question Of tie
duty Of the white people 10 ducsie the
colored race, as connected with bis
right to vote. The subject is one of Too
much magnitude To be treated i'm one
newspaper article, or in dozen for
that matter But with your permits
sion, / will call attention 10 some oth-
er facts, that are TO be taken into con-
sideration, in reaching conclusion.
1t is to be taken for granted that
the white people Of Virginia desire
more than any other one thing, from
"A political standpoint, that the Grace
question" shall be taken out Of politics,
that they do not wish to adopt any
temporary expedient, and that they
want no remedy based on perjury.
While it is Of course necessary ia
discussing such a problem, to touch
upon the facts a. they exist every
where, the object Of the writer is to
treat il a. affecting our immediate sec
ton. He does not believe that the ne
gro has no right to live anywhere; nor
does he believe that he should not be
educated. The matter before ~ il, is
Southside Virginia to be turned over
to the negro? And to what extent are
We morally required to 90 in giving
him an education
The object Of this article is also, to
point out to the negro, briefly a. posi-

the white race, practically began

What Can We DO To Sustain The Good
Name Of Our Town!

No one has any idea how much they
do to make the town they liye in bad
or good. Suppose a man were visiting
your town and did not see any dirty
streets, drunken rufiiaus, or young
men lounging on the street corners.
DON'T you think that when he went
home he would tell his friends that
your town is a nice one? How many
things you can do TO make your town
have good namel First of all you
must do right and obey Him that made
you. you are good, you always have
a good influence over others; use this
influence in doing good for your town.
A good people make good town.
You are only one person in town, but
you can help to make it good. Do it,

citizen Of Farmville, is in the city, tell
ing his friends Of a unique experienc,
he recently had i'm Marseilles.
He has just returned from Europe

did after getting up was to HE himself
unto a fashionable French restaurant

Now, Mannoni is big. fine looking
fellow, clean-shaven, and with an
aquiline nose that bespeaks character
and intelligence. The first thing ne
did after being seated at table was to
order morning paper, in order To-
ascertain the result Of the election. A.
he opened the sheet he saw on the first
page two-coumn picture Of McKin-
ley and headlines announcing the re-
election Of the president. Tie waiter
stood close at hand.
After cursory glance Mannoni land
the paper down, and in his tongue said:
"Wcll, / am satisfied; | see that INV
cousin Mac has been re elected Pre.i-
dent Of the United States"
The waiter started!
"Are you cousin of McKinley?u |
the attendant asked, manifestiug con-
siderable establishment.
con, yes" replied the FarmviIlian. /
thinking he would carry his joke 10 a
finish.
After that the waiter was exceedingly
deierential to Mr.. Mannoni. and when
he rushed oil with his order he. i'm sub
dued tones, let every one about him
know that he was serving the cousin
Of the great Mckinley. Returning
with the breakfast the waiter began
with the American con-
corning general conditions over here.
Mr. Mannoui told him that everything
aud everybody I'm the United States
were h0urshiug under his cousins
administration, and that the people
were happy and contented.
Everybody has plenty Of money!

his time people were staring at Man.

core Of walters were hudded together,
Watching his every movement. The q
