The third Sunday Of the New Yea
in Farmville was a day of real beauty
in the natural world aud under Oh,
genial influences Of glorious sunshin,
our people left their homes and crowd
ed our churches. The regular pastor
were in their respective pulpits at the
morning hour except that at the Meth
odist church, Rev. w. W. Royal, q
former missionary TO China, preached
for DR.. Potts. The same gentleman
addressed the Y. VI. G. A. p. m. meet
ing.
Communion services were held at the
morning hour Of worship at the Pres
byterian church, aud one member was
received into the church on profession
Of faith.
In the evening, at 1870, there was an
immense audience gathered at the
Opera House to hear Rev. Dr.. Beach
a noted and able temperance worker Of
Massachusetts. He was induced to
come to Southside Virginia 10y Rev.
Dr. Cannon, Of Blackstone, to deliver
a series Of addresses, having reference
especially TO the closing Of saloons in
large and small towns as well as in
country communities. The speaker
confined himself to the successful cru
SADIE which was made in the city Of
Cambridge, Massachusetts, with pop
ulation OF 10000 when the fight OPEN
ed, sixteen years ago, and now having
$4,000. There were 10 saloons in full
blast there at the time the first gun
was fired, but from that time until
now the city had been absolutely dry"
For two hours the very able and gifted
speaker described graphically aud well
the plan Of attack, the victory and its
consequences.
This, in brief was the manner Of the
fight: Men Of different creeds and po-
ltical faith united and worked earnest
~ as though man had il all 10 do, and
then appealed to the God Of the uni
verse As though the work was his alone.
As to the results, DR.. Beach declared
that in things material and moral the
city had made rapid strides, and that
this was admitted by every man in the
city with one exception, and that a
baker who complained that his trad
had declined since beer drinkers of
Cambridge could now buy flour by the
barrel rather than by the loaf.
The address was an able, impressive
and convincing one.
Rev. DR.. Potts presided over the
meeting, Rev. Mr., Thompson made the /
opening prayer, Rev. DR.. Cannon in
troduced the speaker and Rev. Mr. I
Royal dismissed the audience with /
the benediction. President Jarman .
and DR.. Winston also occupied seats
on the platform.
DR.. Beach addressed an audience at
in the morning, and came
the country with DR.. Cannon I
IN a private conveyance, as the latter
will not ride on a train on Sunday.

Fishermen Feasted.

That veteran fisherman, Bro. b. NJ

Marconi failed T. ten Us of it.
Mrs. Cox, the happy mother Of thir-
teen children, aud a veritable queen of
the home circle, presided At the table;
three Of the daughters moved about il
noiselessly and gracefully, while the
fishermen feasted on oysters, birds,
turkey and old hams, salads, pickles,
celery, diverse sorts Of cake, jelies,
whip cream and associate luxuries.
"A feast fit for the gods" aud ap-
pettes such as perhaps the gois were
strangers 70.
Those present were DR.. Anderson,
and Messrs. H. G. Crute f. NJ. Bugg,
w. II. Burger, Joseph Mannoni, Hen
~ Cox, Of Buckingham, j. l.. Hart
and X. b. Berkeley DR.. White was
expected to give equilibrium TO the
gathering but when he looked from the
window Of his coy chamber upon that
unbroken surface Of slickest Of slick ice
he wisely concluded that it was not
exactly certain that a man could begin
the evening with assured equilibrium
OR" Crute told the best joke, DR..
Anderson the best "fish story" and
Jim Hart "took the cake" land that
wasn't the only way he took cake on
alligator yarns. Mr.. Mannoni caught
the biggest fish of the season, not with
hook and line, though it was hooked
and lined, but out Of the skill Of his |
own hands and from stewed sugar
which he moulded into perfect perch |
surrounded by life-like cells, frogs and |
other water fowls. As a centre piece
for the table it was a signal success aud |
and the work Of real art
Messrs. Bugg and Burger, who have
learned to "lish more and talk less"
entered into the spirit Of the occasion
with accustomed zeal and zest. while
the only uninitiated Of the brotherhood
who had been hearing of fish stories all
his born days" exclaimed out Of the
fullness Of the evening, the "half had
not been told" At an early hour Of
the morning, to be accurate 1890 a. m,
the happy party started for their re-
'pective homes, aud such slipping and
sliding was perhaps never known in
he history Of Farmville before.
The sun Of another day shone upon
10 wrecks. however, and the praises Of
he iishermen's feast are still ringing
n the air.

County Court Day.

Last Monday was the regular County
Court day for Prince Edward. The
day was cold and the crowd in attend
ance was small.
The docket was a light one, but one
case, that Of the Commonwealth vs..
John Brown, charged with stealing the
watch Of Mrs Miller, who lives with
Miss Patteson, attracted unusual at
tention. Teachers and scholars Of the
Normal school were out in g0odly
numbers, and enjoyed to the full court
scenes, which were new to most Of
them.
The presiding judge was a little more
austere in look and manner than is his
won't the Commonwealth attorney
looked little more ferocious, while
counsel for the accused wereas alert as
though twenty centuries looked on
them. These object lessons are use
full and our teachers do well to remem-
Der that the books don't hold all that is
useful TO know.

Carlton!

This is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not TO pur-
chase the only remedy universally
known and a remedy thas has had the
largest sale OF any medicine in the
world since 1858 for the cure and treat
ment Of Consumption and Throat and
Lung t'oubles without losing its great
popularity all these years, you will be
thankful we called your attention to
Boschee's German Syrup. There are
so many ordinary cough remedies made
by druggists and others that are good
aud cheap for light colds perhaps, but
for severe Coughs, Bronchitis, Group
and especially for Consumption, where
there is difficult expectoration and
coughing during the nights and moll-
ings there is nothing like German
Syrup. The % cent size has just been
this year. Regular size 70
cents. At all druggists.
