The October term Of the county court
for Prince Edward, was held last Mon
day. AS clear and bracing as was the
day and though political speaking had
been announced, the crowd in atten-
dance was unusually small, even for
this county, whose court-day crowds
have long since become things Of the
past.
The docket was small too, and had
upon IT no case Of general interest.
Hon. II. G.. Southal was present,
was introduced by Judge Crute in the
absence Of Chairman w. +. Anderson,
and having thanked the Democratic
voters Of Prince Edward for having
given him the largest majority OF any
of the counties of the congressional
district, except his own, then proceed
ed to deliver a strong, practical discuss
ion Of Democracy in general and urg-
ing preparations for the great fight Of
1904, when the issue will still be people
vs. plutocrlts, the interest OF many VS.
that Of the few The speaker was pro-
ceeding very calmly and deliberately
until some one in the audience pro.
pounded question which brought the
subject Of the independent candidate
to the front, and then the dob" South
all Of battle began t. come to the fore
too, and he simply poured hot shot in
to the ranks Of the secret enemy more to
be feared than the open foe He made
earnest plea for the return Of Judge
Mann TO the Senate and Mr.. Owen to
the House and closed with an earnest
appeal for Democratic unity aud en-
thusiasm.
Mr. +. T. Saunders, who is running
as independent against Judge Mann
was also present and followed in an
imprisoned attack on the Mann bill
and class legislation in general. He
was listened to respectfully and when
he closed, Mr.. Southall took the stand
again aud for few minutes simply
made the "fur fly" He was 50 severe
that listener cried out "hold enough. "
1t was our first political diversion
had In Prince Edward for some
time, aud-there was a smack Of old
time flavor about it. We may not have
another this season, but when 1901 is
we'll on we will have months Of it.

WoRsHAM, VA, Oct 90 'O3.
Editor Herdid.-I heartily endorse
your plan for furnishishing Libraries to
the public schools, and will take great
pleasure in selecting suitable books for
the schools winning the prizes. Your
offer seems to me very liberal one,
and | trust il may be the means OF
giving to our children a large number
Of readable books.
OF all our needs | consider this our
greatest. a library in each schOolroom
would awaken the minds Of the chill
dren, make them better students, give
them an added interest in the school,
make them more regular in attendance
and open to them a world Of good
things Of which very few Of them get
even a glimpse. And the parents
would also derive great pleasure from
these books when they were taken
home by the children.
Very truly yours,
J. ID. EGGLEsToN, JR.

The Local Press.
Another has we'll said

Another has we'll said:
Every community owes the prime
duty Of support to its local press. II
a man can afford to take only one
paper he should take his home paper.
If he can 60 further aud take a daily
let that be but the supplement to his
county paper. The old Greek adage
'know myself" should be expanded
into "know thy neighbors" and the
way 10 do that is to support your home
paper. There is no better or more help
ful asset to any county than a good
newspaper, filed with neighborhood
news. and dealings with all issues OF
common interest as the weekly press
usually does-fAirly and honestly"
And yet some people fail to support
though it costs only two cents a week.
We repeat, such people can't feel much
interest in their next door neighbors.

Tackey Party.

The Assembly Hall Of the Normal
school was the sceneo Of much merriment
last Friday night The occasion was a
"tacky" party arranged by the
students. One had but to step inside
the door to imagine himself in some
mysterious realm where grotesque peo-
pie gather about and engage in all kinds
of weird and ludicrous antics. Many OF
the costumes were exceedingly funny
and attested the originality and fun
loving spirit OF the wcarers.
A programme Of music, recitations
and impersonations was prepared and
given to the delight Of all present
Those taking part in the programme
did so with much credit to their abili-
ties and won we'll merited applause.
A feature Of the evening was mock
wedding ceremony. The bride was
tastefully attired in white with a veil
Of fine lace curtain falling in graceful
lines to the floor. The ceremony was
quite well performed, the bridesmaids
looked very charming and the bride
and groom were joined in the bonds Of
good fellowship for the remainder OF
the term. The faculty was well repre-
sented majority being present Miss
Louise Vaughan, in the character Of an
old colored servant gave a very anus
ing description Of various members OF
the faculty which created considerable
mirth among the students. In the
early part Of the evening, after the par
ty had assembled, Mr.. Jones and Mr..
NATION created quite a sensation by
marching in, Unexpectedly, inludicrous
costumes, amid roar Of applause and
laughter. After enjoying large part OF
the program the company was invited
to the dining room where very pleas
ing collation. awaited. Lively talking
and laughing, mingled with the mum
ching Of danties ensued for time when
all once more repaired to the Assembly
Hall and the remainder Of the program
was carried out. Mr. Nation favored
the company with several Rotations
in negro and Irish dialect At the con-
clusion Of the program those in costume
paraded before the judges who award
ed the prize to Mr.. Jones as being the
tackiest looking person present. This
completed the entertainment and 1t
was only necessary to look into the
faces Of those present to know that all
had good time. Many thanks are
due the young ladies who so willingly
and efficiently served the tables, to
those who contributed to the program
to Mrs. Morrison and Mr.. Cox for their
part in the preparation Of the feast
