Long Neglected Cemetery.
WoRsHAM, VA, June 3.


Editor Heraid:-I trust it will not
be considered presumptuous in resi-
dent of the county to call attention to
the neglected condition Of the colored
cemetery OF Farmville, aud to ask II
something cannot be done to remedy
this neglect.
The fences are down, weeds ana
bushes have chOked' the grass, the
trees need trimming, and in fact tae
whole effect shows condition ~
affairs that reflects no credit on the
white and colored people Of your pros
porous town. The impression on a
stranger may be easily imagined
Neglect Of the dead is not a trait IN
human character that excites admlra-
ton anywhere in the world
| feel sure that the attention Of your
leading citizens needs only to be called
TO this matter i'm order TO suggest and
provide a remedy. Time was when
this cemetery was in good condition;
and its present status has come only
by slow degrees. The colored people
cannot put their cemetery IN proper
condition now without help. A little
announcement from the town and from
priyate citizens will doubtless result In
a strong effort on their part to put this
city of the dead in excellent shape and
TO keep it 80. viii not this encourage
ment be given
The cemetery for the whites Is fast
becoming beautiful spot, rejecting
credit on the management and on The
feeling of love for the dead that should
animate the hearts ofeyery true man
and woman. But why this great con-
trast? The very silence Of the dead
appeals to the living to show tender
ness and thoughtfulness for their
memory. And doe not the poverty oil
this humble race appeal the more
strongly because the race Is humble
and DOOR? Where else can such un-
utterable pathos be found as that which
fingers over neglected grave? Ana
Init isa duty to our own dead to care
for their last resting place, surely to
care for the graves Of the less fortunate
rises to a privilege that makes rich the
giveri for
Large charity doth never soil
But only whiten. soft white hands
This is the best crop from our lands

Lambs in Market.

We saw a load Of nice lambs in town
on Monday fresh from the farm Of Mr..
George Barksdale, who works the old
Sam Short Watson place on upper Bri-
cry, which was always noted for its
productiveness.
We saw another party recently who
was returning from the same farm
with a load of corn. How much bet
ter this than to come to town from
the farm for fresh meat, corn and baled
hay? Messrs. Gillian Bros. had
bought the lambs, aud it gives us plea
sure to report sales Of such things from
our own people to our own people.
We must become more and more indie
pendent.
Mr.. ID. A. Maloney. a leading farmer
Of Charlotte county, but whose farm Is
so i'm touch with the Prince Edward
line that he is more Of Prince Edward
than Charlotte, brought in an extra
fine lot Of lambs on Tuesday which
were bought by Mr.. II. +. Barrow.
This mean other tempting dishes for
commencement week. Mr. Maloney
raises tobacco on large scale and yet
finds time to attend to other things,
and the result is that he sells other
things rather than come to town to
buy them. This is the garden spot
and no doubt about it.

Goodbye.

Before another issue Of the Herald
the curtain will have been rung down
on the last act Of the Normal session,
1923.
We have learned to feel a tender in
terest in everybody who has cOntribu-
ted to the life history Of the session n ow
closing and the goodbye is going to
be a sad one. Those who are not to re-
turn to Us we follow to their new fields
Of labor with blessing and a sigh"
Happy summer time for those who
are to leave US but for season, and re-
member that a glad greeting awaits
YOU on your return. For the first time
in the history of the school there has
been sent out from this Office Normal
edition Of the Herald and that fact binds
US the closer to the actors Of this SEES
sion. Our hope is that other issues Of
the paper bearing the impress Of minds
so cultivated, tastes so refined, ambi-
tons so uplifting, will follow and that
the ties now binding the Herald to
Virginia's leading school for the train
ing Of Virginia girlhood into splendid
womanhood, will become stronger with
the coming and going years.

Flowers In Church.

Editor Herdld.-I saw the sexton Of
one our churches bearing waiter Of
fair flowers towards the church on sun
day morning, and was surprised on en-
tering it not to see bud or blossom.
The same bare walls, the pulpit with
a Bible and hymn book and the table
in front ornamented with collection
baskets. | was puzzled to know what
that sexton had done with the flowers,
and on inquiry learned that they had
been hid away in a corner a. though
somebody was ashamed or afraid OF
them What possible or rational OBJ
lection can there he to flowers since
God has dressed the earth with them ?
Who would be reckless enough to
order the gardener to work the vege-
tables, but dig up the flowers? | have
found them now and then, hid away
i'm rocky creyices high up on the noun
tain's side and wondered why they
were made IN bloom in that lone spot,
but then | remembered that even there
Gods eye was ever upon them and
that they were blooming for his glory.
Just so the sexton may have been or
dered to hide the flowers from human
view, but he couldn't so secrete them
i'm the dark Of darkest corner as to shut
them out from Gods all seeing eye.

Sunday In Farmville.

heavens above Us, but there was good
cheer in our homes and happy congre-
cations in our churches.
The Rev. AsaD, Watkins preached
at the Presbyterian church in the morn
ing, a sermon of rare force aud beauty,
a noble plea for Gods glory i'm things
secular as well as things spiritual.
Children's day at this church was OBJ
served at p. m, when goodly num-
Der Of friends, filling the body Of the
church and the galleries greeted the
children and listened attentyely 10 the
rendition Of well arranged aud we'll
executed program Of singing, recita-
tons, dc. Rev. Mr.. McAlisler, pastor
elect Of the church, was present aud de-
livered a short, but spirited address,
with this as battle cry: ado it Now"
Flowers played mute, but eloquent
part in the performance, aud altogeth-
er the hour was pleasantand we trust,
profitable one
AT the Methodist church "Chil-
dren's Day" was celebrated at s
p. m after the sun had gone down,
and darkness had settled OH the natural
world, the scene within the walls of
the church was as bright as noon day,
and the vast audience that crowded
every nook and corner Of the building
thoroughly enjoyed it, The pro-
gramme had been arranged with care
and skill, the practicing must have been
painstaking, while the execution was
well-nigh faultless. The music was
Of high order, the children from the

delight Of those who heard them
Here again flowers lent their fairness
and fragrance to the bright scene, and

glow and growth. DR.. Sears was the
speaker Of the evening, aud from a
rapid glance at the worlds history drew
the conclusion that we of this age were
beginning to discover childhood"
Notwithstanding the crowded con-
dition Of the audience room, the order
was so marked that Judge Crute, who
said he was accused Of not being given
to such things, complmeuted us all on
good behaviour, and DR.. Potts dismiss
ed us with the benediction.
The usual services were held at the
Baptist and Methodist churches in the
