Married in Onera House.

The solemn bonds of matrimony
were made on Wednesday morning in
the Farmville Opera House, little I'M
usual place, but highly satisfactory
to the principals and interesting to the
assembled few who witnessed the cere-
mony.
The bride, a blushing maiden Of
eighteen summers, a. pretty as a rose
with large hazel eyes aud modest de-
meanor, wasMiss Ruth l.. Ford, and the
groom was Mr. Samuel w. Coleman.
She is a daughter Of the late Paul
Ford, Of this county, aud they both
lived near Prospect.
They arrived here on the early morn
ing train from Prospect. armed with a
certificate Of consent aud approval
from the widowed mother Of the girl,
but failing TO have the parents sigma
ture witnessed, Aetng-Clerk Garland
declined 10 issue license. This was
embarrassing, and the two stood for
several hours about the courthouse
square debating with themselves
a. to the best method Of expediting
matters.
They were invited into the Herald
office, where they were made comfort.
able until way out Of the trouble
was found. IL was finally agreed that
each should subscribe TO an oath that
the certificate from Mrs. Ford was
genuine. They readily consented, and
secured a license. Dr. Potts, Of the
Methodist church, was sought and for
the convenience Of all concerned, the
Opera House was placed at their COM
mand.
The ceremony over, those about the
happy couple congratulated them aud
proflered their best wishes which were
accepted with the customary "thank
you, =" and Mr.. aud Mrs. Coleman de-
parted for their home.

Sunday In FarmYIIle.

Last Sunday was a day Of splendid
sunshine, and to US Of Farmville a day
Of high privilege.
Our churches were frightened by the
cheerful presence Of the young ladies
from the Normal, and never were SER
vices more acceptable or delightful.
A thread Of love ran through the
Sunday School lesson and that girl or
boy was unfortunate who failed to
learn from it that obedience, and even
sacrifice, is easy where there is love
The girl in love with school work will
find it easy and no drudgery, the boy
in sympathy with his will develop
into the strong character and useful
citizen.
1t is the old, old story: "If you love
me keep my commandments"

The sale Of primings on the Farm
vile market this season has been the
largest known in the history Of the
trade, and the prices paid for them
seem to be satisfactory 10 the farmers.
However, the prices this week have
not been altogether as good as when
the market first opened
The sales this week have been very
light compared with those Of several
weeks past. This is due to the fact
that farmers are cutting and housing
their crops for the fear Of cold weather.
From what can be LEANED there is a
considerable quantity Of primings in
the hands Of farmers yet to be sold.
The sale Of leaf tobacco is due to
commence about the middle of October.

In the County Court.

County court for September had a
short session. But few were in atten-
dance from the country owing to the
busy work Of cutting tobacco.
Operating under the new law the
case Of the commonwealth against
Stanley Carter was the first felony
tried in this county without jury, the
prisoner confessing his guilt. The
charge against Carter, who is white
man, was that Of breaking and enter
ing the store house Of j. G.. Bell, I'm the

soner and gave him the minimum

better school houses, more competent
and better paid teachers, longer terms,
and more support from the public. In
order to have better schools we must
have fewer Of them, and the public
must submit to local taxation.
Altogether the address was a fine
presentation Of the claims Of the public

State hear or read this lecture much
good would be done, for the informa-
ton was Of kind that should be pos
