"pETTY IEAL0uSIES.n

During the recent session Of Medical
Association Of Virginia, which was held
this year at Newport News, DIR. Mar
tin, one Of the distinguished members
Of the body, said some practical, sensi-
BILE aud impressive things on the above
subject, "Petty Jealousies" among
doctors. And he could not have dis
cussed a subject Of more pressing and
practical interest especially so for the
practicing physicians Of the State and
country.
We could never just understand why
such should be true, and yet ii is
lamentably true petty jealousy and un-
seemly rivalries and unkindly rela-
tons 50 often exist among those
whose life-wo is to minister TO suffer-
ing and visit in the homes Of sorrow
1t does seem to us that men who meet
at the bedside Of the sick should be
drawn very close together while the
sad fact is that just there estange-
ments are engendered which time does
not cure. Lawyers pull each others
hair and gouge each others eyes at the
Bar and when court adjourns they meet
at another bar where they touch glasses
and convert their swords into straws.
Doctors differ and keep on differing
until their scalpels become instruments
Of war. And how easy it is for one
doctor to do harm to a brothers. repu-
tatiOn by even a careless criticism. |
The patient is dead, but if doctor so
and so had been there, he would not
have died just as though it had not
been appointed unto all men once to
die. The doctors are all human and
liable to err as are the rest Of us, and a
fellow feeling ought to make them as
he rest Of us, "wOnderous kind"
Noble profession that Of medicine
md noble men adOrn it. Their
brother DR.. Martin touched upon weak
pot, and now that correct diagnosis
las been given let the proper remedy
'e promptly offered that a radical cure
nay be effected.

Rev. George Sfnarf.

Editor Herdid:-I went to Rich
mond last Sunday just to hear this
popular and well known evangelist, and
was present at all three of the services
which were conducted by him during
the day. | heard him more than a
decade ago when he was working with
the inimitable and absolutely unique
Sam Jones, and | was anxious to see
and hear him again. / remember well
the sermon he then preached, on the
subject Of love, and in the presence Of
at least 5000 people. II was delight
full, helpful, uplifting Gospel sermon
aud from il / learned as l had not
known before how it was that God
OF infinite purity could love sinner.
and how it was my duty to love an
Enjoyable person. This simple, inn
pressive sermon so free from "funr
and slang" or any such thing drew
me very close to the man, and / was
more than anxious to hear him again.
And, by the way, he took occasion be-
fore beginning his sermon on this oc-
casion to make some allusion to Rev.
Sam" who had playfully presented
him to the audience, and among
things said: 'There is but one Sam
Jones, and the man who undertakes to
initiate him is fool"
And now that l haye heard Mr..
Stuart again | very much fear he is in
dulging in just that folly.
His morning sermon Of last Sunday
was preached in the Broad Street Meth
dist church, and 10 the presence of as
arge an audience IS the building could
urDish sitting and standing room.
The preliminaries consisted OF the
singing Of three familiar hymns, led by
lis singing companion young man Of
rood voice but of indistinct, enuncIa-
ion. a short prayer followed by a
minister who had seat on the plat.

Women And Jewels.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man-that is the
order of womans preferences. Jewels
form a magnet of mighty power to the
average woman. Even that greatest Of
all jewels. health, is often ruined in the
strenuous efforts to make or save the
money TO purchase them. If q woman
will risk her health to get coveted gem,
then let her fortify herself against the in
siduous ccnsequenceso of coughs. colds and
bronchial affections by the regular use of
DR.. Boschee's German Syrup. It will
promptly arrest consumption in its early
stages and heal the affected lungs and
bronchial tubes and drive the dread dis.
ease from the system. 1t is not a cure
all, but 1t is certain cure for coughs.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1902.
BIGGER AND WEHOPE BETTER.

with this issue the Herald enters
upon the 18th year Of its existence, and
marks the event by enlarging the pa
per. The seven columns will be con.
verted into eight columns, which
mean larger outlay, extra effort, more
room for news and wider sphere for
usefulness. We enter upon the new
work eheerfully, hopefully and CRATE
fully. A generous public has sustained
our sfiorts so far and we do not fear the
future.
The highest ambition of the Herald
has been TO promote the highest good
Of the people who read it, and its first
love and truest loyalty have been given
to them and theirs. 1t has never
aspired to the magazine style or in
dulged in the luxury, if such it can be
reckOned, OflOng and labored editorials,
bit has endeavored week by week to
give in its editorial columns brief
comments upon passing events, and
always to make sure and certain its
local features. Surely the town Of
Farmyille will not say that this has
not been the Farmville Herald and if
we have neglected the farming inter-
ests Of this section it has neen due to
the fact that we did not know how
better to promote and protect them.
While hnmiliated on account offailures
we are not ashamed of our efforts, and |
now that we have the broader field we
are going to pillow deeper, cultivate
more carefully, and will confidently
expect the more abundant yield.

form. Mr. Stuart then took charge o
the meeting, read few lines from
Genesis, having reference TO Isaac'i
obedience TO the commands Of his
father, and then announced his sub
ject as being "Home Rule the Hope Of
the World" And now fun CON-
menced and the fur began TO fly. He
emphasized this statement, "that bad
men and women In low dives find
pleasure in just the things that world
ly people in polite circles indulge in,
to-wit: Card playing, immodest dress
ing, dancing and dram drinking. To
say that he was graphic, impressive
and real master Of platform oratory is
to put 1t mildly.
At $3.50 p. M, in the Academy Of
Music he faced a magnificent audience
of "men only,n and taking Richmond
as his theme, made it fit into a Bible
text, taken from one Of the Psalms, in
which God pronounced woes upon the
man who would put the bottle to
neighbours mouth, and for one hour
and a half delivered a mass-meeting
address Of rare power and impressive
ness. He was cheered TO the echo, and
no actor ever moved across that stage
more OF the genius Of the
master Of the boards. His transition
from the gay to the gloomy, from the
bright to the dark side of life, was as
easy and as graceful as are the shadows
made by passing clouds, for a moment
obscuring the sunlight, which bursts
out with renewed splendor when the
cloud has gone by.
AT s p. m. an overflow audience
greeted the gifted speaker at Centenary
church. Taking the devils decoy

attention of his hearers for
more than one hour.
Perhaps his rare descriptive powers
shone out most conspicuously when in
