Is Such a Life Worth Living!

Editor Heraid;-I have great respect
for the business men Of Farmyille
For energy, capacity and good judg-
ment do not know their superiors.
And yet have word OF criticism Of
some OF them. They are all too busy.
and too "eyerlastingly at it," Some OF
them are so early at the stores and 40
late as really to know nothing of their
children. They are strangers Of social
courtesies, are never seen at prayer
meeting, nor at mass meeting, nor AT
opera house, nor at funerals. They
VIII not, perhaps, visit the cemetery
until carried there in a hearse.
Is such life worth living? II the
bank account is gained and all else sac.
rliiced is not the loss an infinite one?
Rational and immortal beings can't
Afford any such folly.

Election POSTPONED.

The election ordered for the 18th
to decide upon a subscription Of $40, 900
to the Charlotte, Farmville and James
River Valley Railroad, has been post
poned until some time IN August.
This Is done on account OF doubt ex-
isting as to the constitutionalty OF an
election being held next week under
the new Constitution. Also because
OF some Developments which have sp-
peared to the company and which will
be made public before another election
is asked for.

ception Of few peaches and grapes.
Garden vegetables are plentiful.

structive to shade trees. The lawns Of

several times this summer Of fallen
trees and branches which were wrench.
ed of by the wind.

here and reached Lynchburg that af-
ternoOn at o'clock. All told, he was
only twelve hours on the entire trip
from Richmond to the Hill city, and
owing to a mistake or so as to the cor
rect route, thereby having to retrace
his way, he covered at least l72 miles. |
He said the road was rough, but he |
arrived in Lynchburg with machine |
