We beg 10 call attention to what the

Ii is idle to say that We cannot to-

cannot introduce new manufacturing
enterprises, and help build the new
railroad. be more sensible and more
loyal to Farmville and her people.
We can together make Normal life

The sewerage system may be made

betterment Of the public roads leading

But none Of these things have legs
upon which to walk at the bidding Of
their own "sweet Wills" and if they
''get the hustle on" We have to give il

WHAT'S WRONG WITH SCHOOLING!

Figures tell US, and "they don't lie, "
you know, that In New England,
where the average term Of schooling is
six years and the average of illiteracy
6 per cent, the ratio Of crime, insanity,
nervous disorder, &c, is far higher than
in the South Atlantic States, where the
term of schooling is less than three
years, and the average illiteracy nearly
three times greater than in New En-
gland. Most significant of ali, though,
as it is most discouraging, is the proof
that the proportion Of juvenile crimi-
mails in New England is 425 to the mil
lion, while in the South Atlantic States
ii is only 1875. Moreover, this contrast
becomes all the more significant when
We consider that the temptations Of
poverty are far greater South than
North.
These figures should set our authori-
ties to thinking. We spend hundreds
Of millions every year on free education,
and other hundreds of millions in the
effort to punish and suppress crime.
The question is whether our scheme
is intelligent-whether there may not
be better way. Surely, If crime and
degeneracy keep pace with free school
education, and wholesOmeness prevail
in an inverse ratio, the fact is worth
considering, even though the superb
cial conclusions be fallacies. "
We have long been satisfied that,
with a certain class at least, the whole
thing was dead failure "down in
Dixie" but we confess to surprise at
what we now know Of "goody, goody" /
New England. What's the remedy ? /
Missionaries and Ogden-fed-Orators say,
sweep up, spread out, shine up and
al's well. But evidently we have got
to teach up too.

1t looks Ms though Congress, with a
kind Of bulldog tenacity, and with as
little reason as is displayed by the ami
NAL when he bites the hand that feeds
him, will cling to the fourth of-March-
folly. Why subject another American
soldier to the killing cold Of that day
when it could so readily be avoided ?
1t is silly if not positively sinful.

1t is announced that Rev. Arthur
Lloyd, ID. d., will be made Bishop OF
the Diocese Of Mississippi. DR.. Lloyd
began his ministerial work in Farm
vile, and those Of us who knew him
then are not surprised at bis rapid pro-
motion. His church has no honor to
give which he is not worthy to wear.
As gentle as he is great, as loveable as
he is loyal to truth aud duty and with
new honOrs come new humility ofspir-
it. His friends in Farmville send
greetings to him and his.

Fretful
Children

This getting up every night with
the baby, or some of the other
children, is all wrong.
Not that the children are to
blame. If it's the baby probably
his food is wrong. Vinol will help
his mother stand the strain of
nursing. have often seen whole
families Of older children keep the
parents awake O nights. First one,
then the other is ailing.
These children seem well enough
at times; but they are white,
hollow-eyed, often listless, with
irregular appetites, peevish and
fretful, wakeful at night, and con-
stantly taking cold.
The use of Vinol, in conjunction
with Vinlax to regulate the bowels,
will benefit these children almost
in day.
We know this because the ex-
amples are so numerous right
around home.
There is nothing in Vinol that
can hurt them. 1t is pleasant to
take, and the amount necessary to
give the children a start costs but
little. Besides, if it doesn't do the
work, we will give you the money
back.
There is nothing so good for
weak and tired mothers and ailing
children as Vinol. 1t gives them
a start, and helps them keep it, |
and it's splendid for old people.

TO these reports which are the most re-
Hab Bile tc be had. the losses were greatly
Over-estimated at the time of the storm.
There were quite heavy losses, but they
were not so very much worse than those
OF previous years. This is due TO the fact
that the Landing season was not at hand
al the time of the storm, as was generally
supposed. The lambs have mostly come
since then and have lived and Jared well.
The losses were confined to the compare
lively few lambs born before or during
the storm and TO the few old sheep which
perished- The outlook generally now is
good.
