Sunday i'm Our Churches.

Rev. DR.. Phillips, formerly Of Nash
vile, Tenn, the recently appointed
General Secretary Of the Sunday School
work in the Presbyterian Church,
South, was with us on Sunday last, and
delivered two admirable addresses.
One at pm. in the lecture room of the
Presbyterian Church, the other in the
main audience room of that church at
s p. m.
The former address was directed
chiefly to teachers, while the latter
dealt with the general subject, and was
made in the presence Of large audi
ence, made up of the different churches
in town, the pulpit being occupied by
ministers of the different churches.
DR.. Phillips is a strong man and Wig
orous talker. Just such man as prom
lses to do the work in hand wisely and
well.
At this service Miss Matte l.. Gun
ningham rendered a select and very
impressive solo.
Revs. Thompson and Hunter were in
their pulpits in the morning, while
Rev. DR.. Halves occupied that Of the
Presbyterian church.
Mr.. G. Bugg conducted lay services
at the Episcopal church.

Appreciation Expressed.

| take this method Of thanking the
many friends of James G. Inge, fOl
their touching testimonials Of respect
and esteem during his late illness, who
after much suffering, expired Tuesday
morning, 18th inst, at the residence OF
Mrs. Annie WoOttOn.
These many expressions Of kind
words were so genuine and touching
that the mother seemed truly COM
forted as she left Farmville on the day
of his death bowed down and broken
in grief 1t is sad at best to give up
son and brother, and especially so was
it to me in parting with the companion
Of my youth, so young in years.
While we knew our brother had
many staunch friends at Farmville,
we had hardly expected from the lin
tied time he had lived in their midst
that his acquaintance had extended 50
widely and that he had won such gen
uine esteem among so wide a circle.
We wish to thank most sincerely all
of them. Especially does the widow
wish to extend her thanks TO the many
friends who comforted her through her
time of sorrow.

Fair CLIPPINGS.

The public marriage will interest
more people than any other feature Of
the FAIR. As there will be but one
couple to receive the premium it is
about time the couple was being agreed
on. The contract must be made with
the Secretary, and as some couple will
be married i'm October, there can be no
objection to the time, the place, nor the
premium. OF course entire good order
will be maintained, and the sanctities
of the ceremony properly Observed
and that the bride, instead Of being the
Daughter Of the Regiment" will be
the pride of the Farmville Fair, and the
queen Of the occasion. If the counting
has been consumated, now for the con-
tract-the Secretary will be glad to ad-
wise with them on the subject. Sep
TENDER will soon be here, and quick on
its heels will come October.
The ladies department has always
been conspicuous and good, and there
will be no decline in interest or artis-
tic arrangements this time.
The exhibition Of stock promises to
be attractive. Novel attractions are as
sured. The racing will be Of first order.
Let us agree to quit work for the
week and make it memorable in the
history Of this section.
Representatives Of the Fair Associa-
ton are now branching out, attending
courts Of sister counties, sending out
premium lists, answering inquiries
aud generally on the go. In the mean
time the corn and tobacco samples are
growing for first rank, while the wheat
and oats and grasses have already been
laid aside for exhibition.
Applications for space are being re-
ceived. fast racers are being looked
after, healthful and laugh-giving en-
tertainments are being arranged for
aud altogether there is promise Of a
splendid and satisfactory exposition.

Shoe EyOlutiOnS.

Changes for the best are constantly
being made. There is an evolution
going on all the time in the manufac-
ture OF shoes The up-tO-date shoe
dealer Is alive 10 this fact vet many
continue to sell the same old-styie
shoes they did years agO-clumsy. i'll
hitting, hard on the feet. Only few
years ago none but the well-tO-do could
afford to purchase glove lifting shoes
cost too much. Then it was that the
purchase of "A new pair OF shoes was an
tlcipated with dread, because, during
the " breaking-in" period much dis
comfort was experienced, aud the old
pair was given up with reluctance. IL
was q sacrifice Of comfort in the old
shoes to style and appearance in the
new.
To-day the manufacture Of shoes has
reached the stage Of specialization, the
period where vast fortune H. invested
in special tools and machinery for the
production Of one special design, which
has been brought to a state OF perfec-
ton by the employment Of the best shoe
brains In the country, their whole ell
e ~ devoted to combining the highest
degree OF comfort with grace, style, and
durability.
Thus we have the largest manufacture
er Of wOmen's fine shoes in the world
producing the Queen Quality" shoe.
Ladies who have formerly paid from
- to - for their shoes find IN Queen
Quality" thoroughly high grade shoe
Of unusual merit at the sensible price Of
g. To pay more Is 10 throw money
away. The "middle-classv purchasers
who do not feel they could afford to pay
- or more, and, therefore, have to be
c0ntented with less expensive article
now have the acme Of comfort and style
within their reach at a price within
their means. We shall tell you more
about "Queen Quality" from time TO
time. No one else in our city sells
them, and what We say Of them il ex-
actly 50.

Bail Asked For Granted.

Monday last, in company with the
sheriff Of Amelia county, V. o. An
drews, came to Farmville and appear.
ed before Judge Hundley, Of the Cir
cult Court, who heard his petition for
bail which had been refused by Judge
Farrar, of Amelia county court. An
drews is charged with shooting anoth-
er white man named w. J. Maitland.
a number Of witnesses were heard by
Judge Hundley and arguments by coun-
sci, Judge Watkins representing the
commonwealth and Judge Mann the
prisoner.
Judge Hundley granted bail, making
the amount Of bond $1,000, and An
drews departed.
From the evidence ii is supposed that
Andrews appeared at Maitland's house
about midnight of the 18th day of July
and calling, when Maitland APP
peared at his door, shot him
with agun. The result was the am
putation Of Matland's left arm near
the elbow.

At Work.

The Executive Committee of the
Fair met in session Friday evening of
last week and continued the work OF
preliminaries in connection with the
coming Fair. A very attractive souve-
mir button has been ordered. The dis
play matter will be of the most attract
i've sort.
The balloon ascension with the para
chute attachments will be one Of the
chief outdoor attractions, and from
the number of inquiries for space re-
ceived there will be amusement for all
classes and conditions.
The committee has been in commu-
nlcation with the authorities of the
Lynchburg Fair, which is held the
week previous to ours, and expects to
draw largely from that source.

We DO All Differ.

On last Saturday there met at Wol
sham small body Of Representative
? Prince Edward Democrats animate,
by the one purpose Of considering mat
tiers now engaging the attention O
members Of the Constitutional Con
vention. A large majority of then
were farmers, and all Of them citizens
OF a comparatively small county, liv
ing under like conditions, cultivatlnl
crops OF the same kind, friends, daily
associates, and yet they differed widely
on questions which were up for discus
sion. On one of the most important
brought before the body it was equally
divided, that question involving the
disposition to he made Of the school
fund.
This is not written i'm criticism of
the fact that we do differ but to i'm
press the fact upon us with the hope Of
creating a sentiment of broader charity
towards members Of the Constitutional
Convention who are afflicted with the
same human frailty that of differing
one from the other.
We would remember, too, that the
Convention has in its make up four
times as many as met at Worsham,
and that they have come from differ
ent sections of the State, and represent
constituency differing widely in
tastes and habits. In one county rep
resented there no negro is to he found,
in another they are largely in the ma
Jority. In one county the citizens are
most concerned about the oyster, in
another about peanuts, in another
about potatoes, in still another about
tobacco, and in yet another about cat
tie, or the cereals, or minerals, or the |
grasses. And so it goes. Since the
meeting at Worsham we will no longer
wonder that members of the Conven-
ton are simply human.
That august body, the supreme court
at Washington, composed Of nine fell
low mortals, all Learned in the law"
rarely come close together on any pro-
position Of general movement.
Church members differ, and the la
dies gathered i'm church societies, and
the doctors differ and the lawyers, and
the farmers, and even little children at
play.
Let's exercise patience towards our
in Richmond, whose
,laring fault Is that they will not agree.

Cason, near Kingsville, was released

falling to find a true bill.
There was no evidence Adduced to
prove that the killing was Intentional,

was accidental.
Naturally Ida was overjoyed when
she went from the county Jail to the
open air free person, and in evidence
of her feelings there was broad smile
upon her face.

be done her by friends Of George Cason.
