Judge Hundley heard on last Mon
day a case which had come to him from
the county court Of Prince Edward by
appeal, involving the question Of hotel
license for the town Of Farmville with
the privilege Of selling liquors. After
listening. to Messrs. Lancaster and
HUBBARD for the applicant and Judge
Watkins in opposition, he confirmed
the opinion Of the judge Of the county
and denied the application. The con-
cluslon Of his honor's opinion was that
there was but one medium through
which intoxicants can be lawfully sold
in Farmville, and that the dispensary,
He said also that under the dispensary
law. as enacted 10y the legislature, the
town was forced to engage in the
liquor traffic and therefore he had de
cided that the law was unc0nstitution-
al, but that the court Of appeals had
made it optional, but had not destroy
ed the force of the law as to the pro-
hibition Of the sale of liquors in the
town save in the one way. Here the
curtain falls again on this local con

The funeral services were conducted
at the Presbyterian church, and in the
absence Of a pastor Of that church, The
Rev. DR.. Potts, Of the Methodist church,
and the Rev. Mr. Thompson, Of the

Of the simplest character, consisting Of
the reading Of appropriate Scripture
texts, singing and prayer.

liberal and delightful hospitality. I'M

Mrs Kearney's last illness was Of
some weeks duration, but painful and
distressing from commencement to
close, and yet we are told by one who
fought with her through the
struggle that she was prayerful,
patient, trustful while it lasted and in
the end triumphant. Prayer to her
was the "watch word at the gate Of

brothers and little children, this entire
community has tenderest sympathy.

On the Roll Of Honor.

1t will be gratifying TO our readers
to know that Farmvllle'sOld and honor
financial institution, the Planters
Bank, in arecent report eminating from
ew York and embracing history Of the
banking institutions Of the State and
Nation, has been placed high on the
roll Of honor, the eth place having been
assigned. To get on the roll Of honor
at all as we are advised, the surplus
and undivided profits Of the bank must
be greater than its capital stock, and
this has been true Of the Planters for a
number Of years And it is steadily
advancing towards the head Of the col
umn. aud is even now in sight and
touch Of it,
OF course this is high tribute to the
wise. conservative and progressive
managementof the institution, but itat
the same time sounds the praises Of this
section Of Virginia, for the bank
couldn't prosper without patronage
and all the patronage comes from the
people. Aud who after all are the
chief money makers Of this farming
community? We need not add, the
farmers themselves. Let us all, then,
cheer up and rejoice together at every
evidence Of substantial advancement.
The Herald has been in the habit Of
calling this the garden spot Of Vir-

There was a novel and altogether
unique entertainment held at one of
our homes on Tuesday evening and to
which teachers and scholars, and busy
workers in diverse fields Of labor con
tributed. In plain English it was a
smelling contest, OF if you don't like
the word, call it odoriferous tourney.
A dozen varieties Of our choicest and
best known flowers had been selected,
and only one by one the party was
blindfolded, allowed to smell each
flower and designate it by name.
The first victim Of the evening was
the owner Of one Of the most elaborate
of FarmYille's flower gardens and a
constant companion Of her flowers. A
choice rose was presented to her one
sense Of smelling, when she confident
~ cried out, poppy" Mistakes
crowded fast the one upon the other
and the fun grew as the guessers miss
ed the mark. One young lady made
no mistake, but she Is homemade
daisy, lives with the flowers and knows
them by name, even IN the dark.
fyOu haven't tried this diversion for
an evenings entertainment, we recon-
mend it to you, and don't you hatter

Of course know the difference between

That's what they were called i'm the

legged toatteud the rendition of "Ihe

ing Of last week, agree in saying that
they did the work much better than

When all did so well We cannot un.
dertake to discriminate. There was
unusual perfection in costumes, in act
ing, whether of manner or words
spoken, aud in mastery Of details.
The story was told so earnestly, the
scenes described so graphically that
the interest Of the audience
never for moment abated, 50 that
when the curtain fell there was but
ole verdict aud that was that a "little
woman" measured up to the high mark
o. signal success.
The "Hoop Drlln gave US again as
in the May Day celebration the poetry
Of motion and showed wonderful skill
on the part Of teachers and scholars,
trainers and those who were trained.

such things taught in our schools &?
why not confue the children TO work Y'
As well ask, why is there beauty in a
flower grandeur in Niagara? glory in
sunrise? grace i'm billow? as to ask
why teach harmony Of voice and mo-
ton? We admire the horse who
proudly raises his head high in mid-air
aud steps nimbly, and grace in woman
is next to goodness.
