takes the form of a little brown boy

was the son of the elephants keeper
and the particular friend of the animal,
which evidently thought his two favor
ties should be together. The little
brown boy returned home a richer and
happier child.

with chestnuts. pork and sauerkraut, sau-

unlimited supply of beer and the famous

The swedish Christmas Eeast.

Perhaps this country celebrates Christ
mas with more JOY and enthusiasm than
any other nation. The prepare lions begin
weeks before the DAY of celebration and
one of the most important features is the
brewing of the Christmas ale; as this is Of
fered with generous hand TO every guest
or caller No creature is forgotten on this
festive occasion, even the beasts and tle
wild birds of the air have their Christmas
feast. They have a. pretty custom of
fastening sheaves of grain on tall poles
where 1t will be accessible to the most
found near every farm house on Chris tmas
The SwedeS have a curious custom called
dipping in the pot" The Christmas eve
dinner is taken in the kitchen. Over the
fire hangs great pot, in which meat,
tongue, ham, etc. are cooked together.
Each member of the family takes a piece
of bread, and it must ,be white bread for
cakes so universally eaten. The slice of
bread must be dipped into the contents
while the pot still hangs over the fire and
removed without its breaking. After each
one has attempted this feat the stew is
eaten, followed by rice and apple sauce
The great Yuletide dish is served later in
the evening and is made of Goldfish and no.
SweGsS are famous for cooking rice and ii
is a very popular dish.
Thus we might go finding the Christ
mas customs of all nations a very interest
ing study and very characteristic of the
people.
While It is essentially ..home day." we
must not make II day of selfish pleasure.
but prove to some sad and discouraged
hearts that the peace and good will to men,
of which the herald angels sang SO many
years ago, is not merely a tradition but a
glad reality.

Delightful Entertainment.

ROANOKE, VA, April 80, 'Ol.
Editor Heroid:-I had the pleasure
on yesterday of attending one Of the
most delightful entertainments that l
have been to for a long time. The Oc-
casion was the celebration of the sey-
enty-first birthday Of Dr. Oscar Wiley,
at the Duval House, in Salem, Va.
DR.. Wiley's first wife was a Miss
Person, Of Prince Edward county.
He served for two years during the
civil war as a member of the Prince
Edward Cavalry Go. X, 3rd Va. Cav
airy and he is known and respected
by many of the older inhabitants of
the county, who, / am sure, will be
glad to know that the genial doctor is
still hale and hearty, as jovial and jolly
as ever and it is to be hoped will live to
celebrate many pleasant milestOnes
along the pathway Of life.
The guests were all in happy humor
aud enjoyed the occasion immensely.
Pleasant social intercourse, recalling
many interesting and enjoyable recol-
lections, with delightful dinner,
served to pass the time most agreeably
Numerous toasts were pleasantly re-
sponded to by the guests, and DIR.
Wiley's response to the toast to his
continued good health and long life
was in his most happy vein,
and was replete with good humor and
happy "reminiscences. About twenty
Of the DOCTORS intimate friends from
Roanoke, Salem and Roanoke county
were present.
The occasion will long be remember
ed by those present as most delight
iul one and all wish the greatest mea-
sure Of health, happiness and prosper
ity to fall TO the lot Of the genial doctor
and his family. w. Z. DUPUY.

Planters Bank Improvements.

We have examined with interest
the plans and photos Of the projected
improvements at the Planters Bank.
The internal arrangements are par
ticularly inviting to look on, with the
veteran cashier settled in that burglar
proof den, with gatling guns to protect
HIM against unwelcomed guests, and
buttons in easy reach, which, when
touched, to arrest the attention of tel
lers and book-keepers. or open or shut
doors as his Will directs.
We welcome the coming of the
new addition to our town life, and will
not complain if everybody in Farm
vile begins to measure up to the mil
lionaire line and will only want big
money. The Planters has so long been
the peoples friend, however, that in
new dress, will not fail to recognize old
friends.

HAMPDEN- SIDNEY, Va, May 6, 'Ol.
An unusually large number Of ladies
greeted the speakers on Saturday morn.
ing, when six members of the sophie
more and freshman classes, heretofore
selected 10y their classmates, delivered
decamatiOns i'm contest for the prize
annually awarded to the successful
candidate 10y the Board Of Trustees of
the college. The pieces selected were
appropriate and well spoken with much
emphasis and force, showing that the
DAYS Of OratOry in old Virginia have
not gone 10y. The Committee Of Adju-
dcation were Professors Bagby, Nell
waine and Winston, and the successful
competitor was Mr.. Langhorne Reid,
Of Chatham, Va. 1t was regretted that
other prizes are not in reach, as, while
Mr. Reid rightfully carried of the
crown, he was well seconded by two
or three others who give fine promise
as speakers.
In the afternoon Of Saturday quite
au audience Of ladies, in addition to
the students, was gathered in the
college chapel to hear the members of
the third section of the junior class de-
liver OratiOns.
The orations as compositions were
well prepared, the treatment of the
several subjects was good, and the
delivery of two or three of them effec-
tive. Others failed of effect because
they had been imperfectly committed
to memory, necessiiating frequent re-
ference TO the manuscript.
The literary societies, in view of pend
ing examinations, have adjourned for
the session.
Rev. ;. II. Thompson, Of Farmville,
preached a fine sermon in college chap
el last night, which was listened to at
tentively by a large and deeply inter
ested congregation.
Messrs. Henry and Lewellyn Stokes,
of Blackstone; A. b. Dickinson, Of
Richmond, and w. fl. Venable, of
Norfolk, were on the "Hilr yesterday.
The college baseball team left Farm
willie this morning on the early east
bound rain on a three-days' trip, in |
which they expect TO play as many |
games. The beautiful weather of last
week brought athletics as far to the
front as it had been put in the back
ground by rain before that time. Two
match games were played-the first
with William and Mary, which re-
suited in score Of 30 to 2, in favor of
and the second,
broken in Oh by thunder storm dur
ng the fifth inning, left Richmond
Jellege the winner by score Of Z to 8.
Much disappointment was felt that the
game could not be completed.

Last saturday was we presume, the
first "dry" Saturday in the history Of
Firmvllle
Judge Hundley had not given his
decision in the dispensary case, no IL
'enses had been granted and of course
the saloou doors were all closed. The
May sun shone out resplendently and
the air was almost tonic enough to do
without the cocktail. And yet some
folks did look lamentably thirsty. "A
case in "Windern has been
coming to town every day for more
than quarter Of century with much
less than a quarter of "A cord of wood

Saturday, "What he thought Of dry

dis heah place is gwine to be dreadful

Will have der dram, and dey is gwine

feelingly, and evidently from a dry
stomach.
On closed door Of one Of the sa-
looms was notice of reward of $50 |
for a lost dispensary. Numbers read it |
and some of the number looked as
though they would have given the re-
ward to have been admitted inside
The crowd in town was as large as
usual on Saturdays, though this is an
busy season with the farm
ers. One over-drenched individual
was seen to stagger down an alley way,
but no one saw him buy "drap," and
the inference is that he brought it with
him from the Cumberland side.
Quiet reigned on Main street, even
friendly greetings being given and re-
'eived in subdued tones. But Farm
'ille was never "fussy" place, and
'ur hope is it will never be, wet or dry
