At a mass-meeting Of citizens Of this
county held in the clerks office at
Buckingham Courthouse on Monday
18th inst. to hear the report Of com
mitee Of six gentlemen previously nam

Joseph Spencer, Ben Shaw, and Hon.

The committee made a majority and
minority report as to the amount the
county should borrow to spend on
roads, the former report advising
5000 bonds to run Is years, the latter
(signed by one committeeman only
advising $4,000 on a 40 year limit.
After long discussion, and many amend
ments the following offered by Col.
James Lyons was carried: THAT our
representatives. in Legislature, Messrs.
Moon and Armstrong, be requested to
draft bill land have it enacted into
law patterned after the Albermarle
road law now in operatian, and author
ling our supervisors to borrow $4,000
and issue county bonds bearing per
cent interest to run 20 years"
The chairman Of supervisors was
present and was strongly opposed to
borrowing any amount, and your cores
pendent is Of the opinion that as it is
not mandatory on the supervisors TO
issue these bonds, it is very doubtful
a majority Of the board will
so vote.
The fact is we have seen in the years
that are past the annual levy Of twenty
four hundred dollars a year FILTERED
away by incompetent management, !
doing little or no good, and in some
places positive harm to our roads, that
the public is dubious about going in
debt We need better roads, we are
willing to be doubly or trebly taxed,
but we want assurance that intelli-

March 18th. 1902

! am surprised TO fnd so small a
town aud yet 80 large tobacco market.
There are but few stores here, but a
place Of intense activity. There are
no paving stones here, but mud pro-
found and in lavish profusion.
Mr.. J. l.. Putney, now Of your town,
lived here for a number Of years, and
no man ever left better name behind
him. lie is still largely interested in
one Of the leading mercantile concerns
here, the concern being Morgan &
Putney, and the hope is often express
ed that he will yet return and make
his home here. Those Of us who know
his Farmvile home, caunot believe he
could be induced to leave for any other
in Virginia. Young men are in evil
dence in this markett and are bearing
the brunt and burden Of the business
day.
Mr.. Beverly Eggleston, whose home
Is frightened and blessed by the pre-
sence Of former Prince Edward girl, |
is one of the leading business factors
here.
The town boasts Of but one hotel, but
that is one Of the best in the State.
Nirginia's test farm is near this place,
and the management is exciting gen.
eral cOmmendation. The farm is one
Of the richest and most productive Of
the farms Of this county Of rich farms.
There are three warehouses here and
things are hummipg about them.
There are four churches at this place,
and the Methodist preacher is resi-
dent Of the town.
In addition to the tobacco trade
here Is a 80 barrel roller process mill
mere and small foundry. The local
)ank is a branch Of the Chase City,
md is doing a good business.
Miss Booth, assisted by Miss Henry, I
nave control Of the public schools here, e
Nd the work is being well and salts
actorily done.
DR.. Henry is the only resident doc d
Or, and is kept busy night and day.
A macadam is needed between this
oint and the courthouse. Farmers y
D town today who have been anxious q
bout tobacco seasons are now concern
4 about blowing seasons. They are Il
cry much behind with their work. q
