Among the Fourth of July fatalities
in New York was the case of a nervous
woman whose death was caused by the
noise of cannon-crackers exploded in
the street near her home. There are
probably many deaths from this cause
that are never mentioned in the public
prints.

Kansas is in the throes of gathering
a $75,OOO,000 wheat crop. On Sunday
religious services were suspended in
the farming sections, and everybody
put in a full day in the fields. Men,
women and children were pressed into
service, the women driving teams and
the children carrying water to the
workers. Beginning Monday double
shifts were put on, and the harvesting
is now going forward night and day.
Notwithstanding these facts, and the
additional one that the thermometer is
registering So in the shade, a vigorous
campaign against the demon rum" is
being waged by speakers in several
counties. There is no discounting the
energy of the Kansans.

Another idol shattered! 1t has al
ways been believed, popularity at least,
that the schooner yacht America, which
won the famous cup that bears her
name, was a typical American craft
native from keel to truck. But now
comes Mr.. ]. E. Munson of New York
and asserts that George Steers, who
built the America, used as a model
toy yacht made in Japan. Mr.. Mum
sons story continues The toy yacht,
which was six or eight feet long and
was fitted with masts and sails, belonged
to William II. Furman, of Maspeth, L.
l., an intimate friend of Mr.. Steers.
Mr.. FurmAn one day, in company with
Mr.. Steers, took the little yacht to
Massapequa Lake to test it's sailing
qualities, when. much to their surprise,
it proved to be a remarkably fast sail
er. This fact made such an impression
upon Mr.. Steers that he afterward
made a thorough study of the lines of
the Japanese toy, and the yacht Amer
lea was fashioned after a model which
Mr.. Steers made, conforming strictly
to those lines, although the parts above
water were changed from those Of the
toy so as to be more pleasing to the
eye of American yachtsmen."

The Perfect Man.

Union services were held at the Bap-
fist church on last Sunday evening and
the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Thompson, preach
ing the sermon with Christ, the only
perfect man, as the basis Of the sermon.
Christ, the preacher presented to his
hearers as the perfect man physically,
socially, spiritually, and then urged
the duty Of humility, Of obedience to
law, Of reverence for the Father and
especially Of service upon all those who
would become like Christ.
DIR. Potts, Of the Methodist church,
and Rev. Mr.. Harrison, Of the Presby-
terrain church, occupied seats ON the
pulpit platform, the congregation was
large and appreciative, and altogether
the hour Of service was a pleasant one,
and we have reason to believe was
also profitable and helpful one. These
union services close with the last sun
day in this month and should be large
" attended by the church goers Of
Farmyille.

A. you haven't a correspondent in
this vicinity, will let your readers
know how people are jogging along
here this summer. The crops are look
ing fairly well, but not as good as they
usually are at this time Corn is late,
80 is tobacco, but the farmers say, with
several more good rains and a late fall
they will come out all right. The
wheat crop was an entire failure.
some di I not thrash after cutting IT,
Labor is very much needed here. They
say they will have to stop raising to-
bacco if they cannot get more labor.
That seems a great pity, for this section
grows fine tobacco.
There has been no end Of lawn par
ties here this summer. They were
gotten up for the benefit Of an Episco-
pal church recently built at Truxella,
but all denominations assisted. They
were conducted in an inexpensive way
around at private houses, and were
quite a success, both socially and
financially. The most largely attend
ed was a pink tea given by Mrs. Truly
Foster at her beautiful home Laurel
HHI.n which is an ideal place for a
lawn party. Hammocks and seats were
placed under the trees so that everyone
could be comfortably seated. The
table which was spread on the lawn,
was decorated with pink; the walters,
four attractive young ladies, wore pink
ribbons and pink caps; the refresh
ments were pink ice cream, pink cakes
and pink lemonade. The last lawn
party was at Mr. Arthur Lacy's and
was very enjoyable. The most inter-
esting feature was pinning on the
donkey's 'qil. There were two prizes
given the successful parties.
Those visiting the neighbOrhoOd dur
ing the last month were; Mrs. John
Enright and children, Of Danville;
Mr.. and Mrs. William Jennings, Of

There was very large crowd at
Lunenburg county court on yesterday,
caused in part 10y the many candidates
for Office who were present, each one
canvassing and preparing for the final
struggle on election day.
The trial Of Slaughter for the XII Hing
of Bowen consumed about three days
at our county court held in last month,
and the jury gave a verdict Of eight
years in the penitentiary. The counsel
for the defence took an appeal to the
circuit court which commences on the
18th of November.
The Rev. b. +. Bedinger preached
last Sunday at the Lunenburg Court
house Presbyterian church to a good
and attentive audience, and on Sunday
night he preached at Ebenezer Presby-
terrain church in this county to a full
house. He is a good preacher and very
popular both at Lunenburg, and AT
Ebenezer, and the church hopes to
procure his services as a regular pastor,
aud consider him most desirable as
person capable Of building up the
church.
Mr.. T. Shackleton, who was about
ninety years old, died on last Friday
at his home.
Mr.. Charlie Allen, living near this
place, is seriously i'll with lung trouble.

This entire community was greatly
shocked To learn that Mrs Daisy
Brown Armentrout, during last sun
day night had taken her own life
while on visit to the old home, that
Of her mother, Mrs Mary Brown, IN
the neighborhoOd Of IIampdeu. Sidney.
Mrs. Armentrout, with her three chil-
dren, arrived from Kentucky some ten
/ days ago, and had been enjoying, a.
was thought, the visit. Now that she
is dead a few facts in her conduct of
the recent past are recalled a. having
some significance, such as while she
at one Time said she came % spend
! three months, at another said she would
have TO hurry home a. her husband
could not live in Kentucky. On Sun
day morning she declined to 60 TO
church, hut in the afternoon she
drove out with the children and SEEM
ed to have enjoyed it. Before retiring
she suggested the propriety Of leaving
open the front door, "as the opening of
it always made a noise" The door
was not left open, however, and one Of
the brothers heard the noise usual 10
the ol ening sometime during the
night though ii made mo- impression
on him at the time.
Mrs. Brown, the m6ther, was first To
awake in the morning, and finding her
daughter missing from her room mott
fled hel two sons. They al once be-
gan search aud found her lifeless body
hanging in a barn near the house.
The secret for the sad act has been
buried with her and yet those who
remain To mourn her loss will find
comfort in the thought that for the
time being reason was delhroned.
And may they not also recall the pray
er Of the Saviour when he said: Faith
er, forgive them, they know not what
they do"
Before her marriage Mrs Armen-
trout was known in this county a.
Daisy Brown, small Of body, beautiful
" feature, graceful Of manner, winsome
and unusually attractive. Some fifteen
years ago she became the wife Of Rev
ID. VI. Armentrout, Presbyterian
minister, i'm charge Of church in the
state Of Kentucky. OF the union
three children survive, to whom with
the devoted husband, the aged mother
and brothers the tenderest symIa'hies
Of this people are extended.
